For those seeking a deeper connection with the desert, Camp Sarika offers a dining experience that is both refined and profoundly rustic. Located just beyond the main resort, the restaurant at Camp Sarika serves as a culinary basecamp, where the open sky and majestic mesas form a breathtaking backdrop for meals that are inspired by the wilderness.
Breakfast at the Foot of the Mesas
Mornings at Camp Sarika begin with a celebration of freshness and vitality. The menu features invigorating options like the Acai Bowl, topped with seasonal berries and house-made granola, and the Canyon Parfait, a layered delight of sweet potato purée and Greek yogurt. The Avocado Toast is elevated with slivered almonds and a soft-boiled egg, while the heartier Heritage Hen Eggs or the spiced Cauliflower Hash provide a robust start for a day of adventure. The Spanish-style Torrijas, a decadent French toast alternative with strawberry custard, offers a sweet beginning.
Lunch: A Vibrant Interlude
The lunch service is a vibrant affair, perfect for a midday pause. The table is meant for sharing, starting with the classic Guacamole and Chips or the elegant Burrata and Melon plate. The Hawaiian Walu Ceviche, bright with mango and avocado, and the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl are standout choices for their fresh, clean flavors. A selection of tacos showcases the kitchen's creativity, with fillings like guajillo adobo chicken, braised Spanish octopus, and a flavorful grilled artichoke option for vegetarians. For a more substantial entrée, the Pan-Seared Salmon with garlic yogurt or the Grilled Skirt Steak with chimichurri are excellent choices.
Sweet Endings and Dietary Considerations
Lunch concludes on a high note with desserts that mirror the natural environment. The Strawberry Tarte, with its lemon curd and olive oil cake, is a burst of freshness, while the Flourless Chocolate Cake offers a rich, dense indulgence. The menu thoughtfully denotes vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, ensuring all dietary needs are seamlessly met with the same level of culinary attention.
The atmosphere at Camp Sarika is one of relaxed elegance, where the boundary between inside and outside blurs.
