Morning they sell coffee, bitter and straight-like Marfa itself. Afternoon it's gone. Then velvet lights. Ground beef ragu waits in a shallow bowl, steaming but not loud, sauce thick enough to sin with. Merlot arrives in a glass, no ceremony, tastes of dust and forgiveness. Menu? Changes before you finish chewing. Three nights a week only. And if you look up-real good-stars punch holes through the roof. You won't forget them. Or that mousse, black as the void, sweet as a lie you want. Five stars. Highly recommend.

LOVED the tinned fish dining experience (this has been trending worldwide for several years now). We had never been to a restaurant that actually offered this so it was a happy surprise to eat there. The plates and tinned seafood options (mackerel, anchovies, octopus, clams, mussels, oysters, you name it) were numerous and delicious. Thank you for the memorable experience!

We’ve loved Alta Marfa’s wines for years, so we were thrilled to finally visit their wine bar in Marfa! The space is warm and welcoming, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly. Since they make their own wines, their recommendations were spot-on and came with great insight.
What really surprised us was how incredible the food was. From the amazing selection of tinned fish to the variety of small and large plates—and even dessert—everything we tried was delicious.
Highlights for us included First Rodeo wine, the smoked trout tin with all the fixings, sardines, house-made focaccia, green beans, chicken schnitzel, and chocolate mousse for dessert.
I only wish we were locals so we could visit all the time. Huge thanks to the Alta Marfa team for such a memorable experience!

I loved the wine and the food selection. The tinned fish platter was everything. The highlight of my trip! Thank you. Staff was wonderful and service was quick. It reminded me of my time I Portugal. I can't wait to come back.

Cozy atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff! They were very knowledgeable about their menu and offered suggestions that were spot on. A very local and home grown feel— I wish we had a place like this in Houston! We will definitely come back to support this local business! The wine and food is phenomenal!

A quaint, unassuming spot for quiet meals and good conversations. We ordered the tomato, house-toasted crouton and feta salad with torn basil. It was incredibly simple and delicious. The tuna tar tar was perhaps the best I’ve ever had – bright with citrus notes. The smoked salmon in chili oil tinned fish is now a staple on my next charcuterie board. Delightful!

One of my favorite dinner spots in Marfa! The food and wine selection is creative and perfectly executed. I’ve tried every item on the menu and not one falls short of perfect and delightful.
What a wonderful place!!! We walked from our Airbnb in search of good coffee and stepped into the sweetest spot in Marfa. We enjoyed our hot drinks and delicious morning snacks so much we went back the same day for dinner. We couldn’t have been happier. The food is thoughtful and fresh. The people are so warm and welcoming. It was exactly the vibe we were looking for. Intimate and well curated. Hands down the best place we discovered in Marfa. Thank you so much for a memorable visit and we hope to be back next time we venture to West Texas!

Coffee shop by day, wine bar by night. I'm bout super into wine or coffee, so what's with the 5-stars? Friday - Sunday they do dinner service and it's the bomb. I haven't had one bad dish, let alone one short of amazing.
The rotating menu, and the guest chefs and pop-ups they host, keeps the food variety going in a small town. It's no-brainer when someone asks me for a weekend dinner rec.

Have been following Alta Marfa from the beginning and couldn't be more glad now that they are making their own (impeccable, creative, delicious) food to serve alongside their (refined, fun, tasty-as-all-getout) wines! I recommend a dressed up tin and a bottle of whatever wine suits your taste (and the staff's recommendations).

Don’t miss your chance to enjoy downtown Marfa’s best and only wine bar! The selection of wines is excellent, and the small plates are extraordinarily delicious. Be sure to try both! Service by the Marfa owners is responsive and friendly. It’s a fun and comfy place to spend an evening!
