About this business
If it's not too odd to you to have fish staring at you while you eat, then you should enjoy the Shark Reef Café. The café/diner at theAlbuquerque Aquariumand Botanical Gardens, one wall consists of the glass side of the aquarium's largest tank, meaning that sharks, turtles, sting rays, giant tuna and more will swim past you as you eat your lunch. It is not necessary to actually be a paying visitor to the biopark in order to eat at the Shark Reef, as there is an entrance in a non-ticketed area. - Pip Lustgarten

RecommendedDelicious food with a view!!
I went with my wife for lunch and they didn’t have any fish we both wanted fish and chips no fish so disappointed we got sandwiches with fries went to sit at a table and so many of them were dirty so was the floor not a place I’d recommend to my friends so disappointed
Great chicken salad sandwich!
Business response:
Thank you!
Good food. Slow, but good. Great fish tanks. Don't buy the children's souvenir cup, it's a dollar store cup, marked up 300%. Save your money and go to the gift shop for a true souvenir that actually says something about the aquarium
Business response:
Hi Renee, we’re so glad you liked the food! One of the reasons our souvenir cups are more expensive is because we donate a large portion of the proceeds from the sale of those cups back the ABQ Biopark to support various exhibits like the River Otters and the Penguins!
horrible service. nasty salad. cool fishtank. one must love kids
Business response:
I’m so sorry to hear about your experience at Shark Reef, we are not I business to provide horrible service. If you would like I would like to get more information on your visit. Please private message your contact info if you would like. Again I am sorry you had a horrible experience, that is not our intention.
Today at the Shark Reef Cafe was the happiest that I have been in months. If I had to rate my chicken salad sandwich on a scale from 1 to 5 — with one being “Failed to meet my expectations” and 5 being “Far exceeded my expectations,” I give it a 5 with little to no hesitation. Keep on keepin’ on.
Where else in Albuquerque can I have great fish and chips.....while watching sharks and groupers and turtles swim past just inches away!?
Business response:
No where else Dawn! I hope you are still coming in to see us!
Very good food
This place is amazing. Reasonably priced.... relaxing. ..great food and fun
