Our Food
Savor the Flavor
Here are a few examples...

Served For Dinner
With our Lamb we’ve managed to put a new spin on an old classic. Simplicity is the name of the game: we use fresh ingredients in this hearty dish. Are you ready for this culinary sensation?

The Perfect Choice
Many restaurants have their own take on this recipe, but we’re confident that ours is the best! Have it traditional style or jazz it up with a dollop of marinara sauce—you’ll enjoy it till the very last bite.

Lunch
Always a favorite for lunch! A hearty grinder stuffed with Italian meatballs, fresh mozzarella cheese and hot marinara sauce

Lunch
A must for lamb lovers! This toasted sandwich boasts leg of lamb with stone ground mustard, spicy peppers, lettuce and sauteed onion.

The Perfect Choice
An oldie but goodie! This is our classic spaghetti & meatballs, YUM!

The Friar's Fork & Sanctuary was created in the footprint of the former historic St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Alamosa and is the ideal buiding & location! The Friar's Fork serves Italian/Mediterranean Cuisine with the Sanctuary being an upscale cocktail lounge & coffee house. It's a place where people from all over the San Luis Valley can meet to enjoy our tasty dishes and comfortable atmosphere.
