This cozy backyard lunch soothed my soul. Everyone was so friendly and the food was refreshing. We left full and content. If you are in Durango on a Tuesday or Friday, highly recommend supporting Turtle Lake.

Healthy raw vegan food! Hippie vibes.
Food was good, but at $20 it’s pretty pricey for the quantity.

Farm fresh food made with love....the people and the meal were both so healing & nourishing! Truely unforgettable!
This place is AMAZING! The food is a feast to the eyes and the palate, and the atmosphere was so relaxed it felt as if I had dropped by a friend's house for lunch in the garden. A true delight for those with a taste for gastronomic adventure.
Just passing through Durango and I stumbled upon Turtle Lake Refuge. Everything was so fresh and delicious!

The people are so loving! Their customer service is akin to going to a close friend's house for a meal. The food is fresh and tasty. This is a raw food restaurant but everything was paired perfectly with the right flavor profiles. I felt revitalized and my tastes buds were delighted by the blends of fresh herbs and nuts. The menu is different each time plus you get dessert and it's donation based so no one is turned away.

If you are anything like me you have wondered about this place for awhile. I ventured in with a couple friends for lunch last week and it was like stepping back (refreshingly) into my youth living in a teepee in the Santa Cruz Mountains and hanging out with the tribe in the alternative eateries in Felton and Boulder Creek. Very clean, very laid back, quiet with wonderful, plant-based delights. Where else but here can you get a 4 course meal for $15?Feels like a return to the light. Check it out.

Local, raw, wild and the cleanest food in the four corners, if not west of the Mississippi. If you have never experienced absolute, true food then your in luck. Turtle lake is my favorite restaurant as long as I have lived so far. Everyone in their lifetime should eat here.
