Where to Eat in Albuquerque
Old Town’s own Antiquity Restaurant and close neighbor Duran’s Central Pharmacy are featured. Excerpt about Antiquity Restaurant “When I was 19, I was fired for the only time in my life, from Applebee’s. It ended up being one of the most important moments of my career because I found my way to my first fine dining job at Antiquity Restaurant (112 Romero St NW). It was this job that sent me down a career path in food 20 years ago. Antiquity is the only restaurant I know of in the city where you can get a charcoal-grilled steak. The husband-and-wife owners Steve and Amy haven’t changed the tenets of the menu since I worked there, and you can still get their signature steak au poivre or chateaubriand—a center-cut beef tenderloin—for two. It’s a quaint and romantic restaurant, as the name suggests.”
