COCHINEAL

WHY I LIKE IT: One of my fave restaurants in Marfa, Cochineal is helmed by husband and wife team of Executive Chef/Owner Alexandra Gates and Partner/Owner James Harkrider. Their focus is on serving an evolving seasonal menu committed to sustainability, in a casual fine dining setting. 

DON’T MISS THE: Chef’s Table Prix Fixe. With an ever-changing European and West Texas-inspired menu, you can’t go wrong with Cochineal’s seasonal dishes.

DON’T KILL MY VIBE: Cozy and intimate indoor and al fresco seating.

WHEN YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW: Ingredients are sourced from Cochineal’s garden, farmers and ranchers throughout Texas, which can mean very limited availability – make sure to book ahead and dine early for a full menu selection.
