My partner and I recently celebrated our anniversary and went to Taos, New Mexico to check it out as we had never been. This was a must stop recommended by many people so we were happy to secure a reservation and dine there. Ambiance was nice, we enjoyed the warm lighting and how it was inside an old historic catholic church. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable as well.
I will say- the food was decent but it was nothing extravagant or to write home about like others have mentioned in the past. A lot of items on the menu have like one or two ingredients that I feel throw the dish off, so it was difficult deciding what to get there. We ordered the cornbread, mussels, the trout and the bison when we went for dinner.
By far my biggest complaint with the whole experience was the fact that it is a cash only establishment, with no ATM even available on the property. You have to drive beforehand to the closest Allsups and withdraw whatever you feel will be the most for the check plus gratuity. This really limits what you can/can’t get on the menu depending on how much cash you bring. I personally do not enjoy feeling limited by that or having to do math at the table in my head to make sure I got enough to cover it all. This also makes people look at the menu beforehand maybe online to get a good idea before driving to said gas station. They say on the website it’s because “By forgoing transaction fees, we can better support our employees, serve organic food, and boost our local economy.” but in reality I believe it’s because they do not want to pay credit card fees and whatnot. Their sister restaurant Manzanita (which we also dined at) was not cash only though which was odd if they are related, so something isn’t lining up at The Love Apple.
We still had the best time with each others company which matters the most celebrating a special occasion, but I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to tell everyone that they gotta go there when they are in Taos.

The Love Apple was such a warm, intimate, cozy experience overall. It felt like we were dining inside someone’s home, and we were instantly transported into a mellow and inviting space. Candlelit dinner and only warm lights. Food was incredible – we started with the endives/leeks and seasonal special mussels. The mussels were amongst the best we’ve had – juicy, plump, smooth. Now, let me get to the main course – the bison steak with red chile au gratin poh-tay-toes was something truly extraordinary. These potatoes were noteworthy, nay – shout from the heavens-above good! The bison steak – perfectly cooked. The lamb chops, succulently tender and exquisite – atop a cool light cheese and caramelized cabbage. Not to mention the dessert – we had the special NY cherry cheesecake and the raspberry tart. We did not speak to one another for several minutes. Chef Jenny is. a. goddess. We will be back.

What a gem! We were visiting Taos and decided to try this restaurant for dinner. Luckily we were able to get a reservation.
In the dark, very hard to find. But once you find it, the ambience of the restaurant is beautiful and inviting. Service is attentive and prompt. Food was out standing, especially sea bass. A must try. For appetizers, We had the corn bread, which the restaurant is known for, and grilled mushroom – savory and well flavored. Our second entree was the duck dish with mole. The duck was well cooked and prepared.
Overall, we were very pleased with our experience and time at the Love Apple.

If you’re visiting from out of town, do yourself a favor and have dinner here. Warm atmosphere with friendly staff. The cocktails were excellent and tasted so incredibly fresh. I had the bacon-wrapped dates, quinoa-stuffed quail, and dessert, I wanted to eat every bite despite being absolutely stuffed. One of the best meals I’ve had while traveling. Cash only, I had an appetizer, two cocktails, entree, and a dessert for around $100. Would recommend and definitely go back.

Love the ambience of this re-purposed old church! Each dish is thoughtfully crafted, though the excellent starter of grilled endives and leeks with a caper vinaigrette, bacon, parmesan, and a fried egg was the best for me. Have to have the super soft corn muffins as well, and the delicious pinon tart.

Sometimes “cash only” means small, niche, mom-and-pop shop dependent on cash to stay afloat. And sometimes “cash only” means greed and tax evasion. Unfortunately Love Apple falls into the latter. This isn’t a small pho shop on the side streets of Hanoi. This isn’t a handmade ceramics shop in a square in Tbilisi. The restaurant’s vibes with its string of Xmas lights and slick IG account and its menu full of “organic” and “gluten free” buzzwords and its PRICES, clearly cater to a specific upper middle class Millennial demographic….precisely the demographic that obsessively plays the CREDIT CARD points game! Reality check: your customers use credit cards. To so staunchly refuse credit cards is just a blatant sign that establishment wants to hold on to every penny and dime it makes at best, or it wants to hide from the IRS at worst. Look, I’m sympathetic to the struggles of small businesses, esp restaurants, and maybe you really are just barely getting by. But in this unforgiving digital age, if you can’t pay the 2.5% charge to CC companies for the convenience to your customers, maybe it it’s time to throw in the towel. (PS, if you had taken credit cards we would have gotten dessert and entire bottles of wine and you would have made WAY more than the 2.5% to cc companies. WHO carries around hundreds in bills these days except boomers and mafia???)

I’ll keep it simple. If you’re in the area, go to the Love Apple. The food and atmosphere is amazing. I’ve taken people who described their food as some of the best they’ve even had and their not exaggerating.
It’s a smaller restaurant, so get a reservation early. Everything on the menu is good, but I would recommend the cornbread, gnocchi, and spaghetti squash in particular.

What a charming, lovely, fine dining experience! This restaurant has taken the fine dining to a different level with their unique combination of fresh and locally sourced ingredients. So satisfying! The decor, the mood, the lighting, and the music made this a perfect location to celebrate a special night. Our waiter patiently assisted us choosing the meals that suits our appetite being vegetarian. We shared Seasonal fruit, local greens, pecans and warm goat cheese salad followed by Love Apple Tacos (vegetarian) and a tasty dessert. I’d LOVE to be back here again one day.

Love Apple more than lived up to the hype. The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and uniquely Taos—beautifully rustic without feeling pretentious. The staff was friendly and genuinely knowledgeable, offering thoughtful recommendations and making the whole evening feel relaxed and unhurried.
Every dish was incredibly fresh and so well balanced. You can really taste the care that goes into the ingredients. The flavors were creative without being over the top, and everything felt perfectly seasonal. It’s one of those meals where you want to slow down and savor every bite.
It’s definitely a place you plan ahead for, but it’s absolutely worth it. If you’re in Taos and want a memorable dining experience, Love Apple is a must.

Cute little restaurant in Taos. Very unassuming from the outside. Hard to make a reservation if you don’t have a US phone number, as they only confirm via calling you back after you leave them a message. So I called on the day through WhatsApp and luckily someone picked up and booked us a table. I did try messaging on their social media first and explained the limited contact options, but didn’t hear back.
We had a salad, corn muffins (which were the main standout for us), a tamale, tacos, and a crumble dessert. Plenty of veggie options. All decent, nothing earth shattering. A good option when in Taos.
