The Zion table — what to order and where the locals point.
Bit & Spur Restaurant & Saloon
Springdale's institution since 1980 — chile rellenos, sweet-potato tamales and cold beer on a patio under the cliffs.
King's Landing Bistro
The town's grown-up kitchen. Duck, trout and a short wine list, in a strip of hiking outfitters.
Oscar's Café
Enormous breakfast burritos and green-chile burgers. Where everyone eats before and after the Narrows.
Deep Creek Coffee
Opens at 6am for the sunrise crowd, açai bowls and proper espresso.
Whiptail Grill
A converted petrol station doing very good sweet-potato tacos. Tiny, cash-friendly, worth the wait.
