Restaurant Cochineal

What an incredible experience!!! I want to move to Marfa, just so I can eat here every weekend 😂 The chef, Alexandra Gates, welcomes and actually seats you herself - wow! She goes over the menu with you and she’s so kind and warm. She pays attention to every detail and makes every dish and drink special and unique. Truly the highlight of our trip to Marfa. My partner and I actually ate there our first night in town and ended our trip with that being our last meal. We also made a mistake and canceled our reservation for Saturday evening thinking maybe we could just walk in because we weren’t sure when we would get back from Ft. Davis that day. They were sooo busy! As they should be! But Alexandra made sure we were able to be seated! How kind! But definitely get a reservation for a Friday or Saturday night! The waitstaff is also incredibly welcoming and friendly! Highly recommend this amazing restaurant if you’re ever in Marfa!

Absolutely delicious. Drove 6 hours to eat here after watching A chef Babish on YouTube. I was not disappointed. My husband and I chose the Chefs menu with the drink pairings, and for two hours I was in heaven. The atmosphere in the restaurant was warm and cozy, perfect date night. Our server Robert was fantastic. He explained each course beautifully. The food was incredible. Best meal I've ever had in my entire life. Highly recommend.

Dined here to celebrate our anniversary. Very cool experience. The chefs menu was unique and delicious. Had some of their exclusive wine and we loved it. Be prepared to spend some money but a must try when visiting Marfa.
