The downtown business district has risen to the occasion with a great selection of restaurants, shops, and galleries. Moab’s diverse cuisine will please any pallet, from regional southwestern fare to world-class gourmet. Stroll though the downtown shops for a great selection of southwestern arts and jewelry, souvenirs, t-shirts, and much more.
