Elegant fine dining in a 1756 adobe home. Santa Fe's only Mobil 4 Star/ AAA 4 Diamond Restaurant.
Geronimo is a beautiful restaurant with amazing food. My wife and I shared two appetizers both seafood based and fresh. We also had the elk and sea bass as entrees. All the food was delicious and the portions were perfect. This restaurant deserves all the accolades it typically gets. If you go to Santa Fe, make a reservation at Geronimo.

Housed in an iconic old adobe building in the center of Santa Fe, Sazon gives its patrons a taste of what the authentic Mexico, with its fastest growing ethnic cuisine in terms of popularity, is all about. The artwork is stunning. Starting with a massive chandelier in the main hallway, custom made in Guadalajara and featuring over 16 different lamps, to the furniture and artwork, it is obvious that special attention has been given to the interior decoration. The oil on canvass paintings are beautiful, featuring artists from Mexico City, Guadalajara and Cabo, Mexico. The dining room is warm and inviting with lots of space so you don't feel crowded, but also plenty of romantic and private spots where one can be wrapped in their own cocoon. There is a back room that is part of the dining room but can also be sectioned off for private parties. Lighting has been well thought out and highlights the art without being intrusive. The bar is stunning exhibiting a great sensitivity to the Santa Fe adobe style yet bringing its own clean and refreshed look. The bar, made from recycled parapara wood from Ecuador, houses the largest selection of tequila and mescal in Santa Fe. Bartenders know their craft as evidenced by the signature cocktails featuring tequila and mescal which are subtle and seductive. Try a Sazonrita which is Mezcal, Patron Citronge, fresh lime, agave, and muddled cucumber over ice. It will make a believer out of you when it comes to mescal!
This is an upscale restaurant with amazing food. The service was fast, friendly and helpful. I had the Chilean sea bass and it was cooked perfectly and my husband had the duck tenderloin and he loved it. We had the zucchini blossom for an appetizer based on another reviewer recommendation and they were delicious. It is a little expensive $150 for two without drinks but we loved it.

Clafoutis is a French Restaurant and Bakery that serves Breakfast and Lunch. We baked fresh bread and pastries daily.
Ann (who is French) and her team have run an amazing French restaurant in Santa Fe for years (it is now on its second location at Body off Cordova). The food and coffee is about as close as you are going to get to a Parisian experience in Santa Fe and I HIGHLY recommend it when you are ready for a break from Chile. Surprising (for Santa Fe) the prices are also very good for the quality of what you are getting...brunch is best, but consider lunch here as well. Expect a 20-45 minute wait if you are going during popular times, but you can sit on the porch and get food to go if you are pressed for time (or want to have a terrific picnic).
I'm going to say it...this is the best simply baked bread in Santa Fe! (though the onion bread at Dinner for Two will ALWAYS be my favorite)

African and Caribbean dishes and specialties from award-winning Chef Ahmed Obo. Jambo Cafe specializes in new combinations of traditional dishes with a decidedly spicy flair. Winner of many awards, "Best Soup" for the Souperbowl 4 years running and "Best International Cuisine" in the Santa Fe Reporter for 5 years. We serve vegetarian and seafood options alongside our chicken, beef, lamb, and goat dishes. Locating in College Plaza near corner of St. Michaels Drive and Cerrillos Road. Plenty of parking.
One of a kind African-Caribbean fusion food restaurant that is a popular choice for good, affordable meals. .The combination plate of chicken curry, goat stew and coconut lentils, with rice were a good choice for experiencing the menu. Salads were fresh. Several specials available. Located in a strip mall, Jambo Café is unpretentious with comfortable, colorful décor. Get a reservation -- the place is popular especially on weekends. Then expand your food horizons and tempt your palate with some African influenced food.

Very attractive and restful decor. Delicious barbecue and Tex-Mex food. Stacey was an excellent server. What more could we possibly want?

The Pantry Restaurant has been a Santa Fe landmark since 1948. We offer a unique take on a diner, where the cuisine of Northern New Mexico meets traditional American food. We have been serving quality fresh from scratch comfort food for over sixty years. You will be pleased with our fast and friendly service while enjoying the best Chile in Santa Fe. As a family owned business we pride ourselves on serving the freshest and most quality ingredients to all of our guests and we promise to treat you like part of the family.
An all-day breakfast for those of us who can’t handle the super-carb breakfast but love pancakes. They have cinnamon corn pancakes that are soooo good, and a really wide variety of lunch and dinner too. We have yet to find a dish here we don’t like. Parking is no hassle, but there might be a wait. The locals know about this place. The wait staff has been really excellent.

Small, authentic, family owned New Mexican restaurant. Everyone in the family enjoyed their meal. I would have to say the green Chile stew was fantastic! The kids said BLTG was "the best EVER"!! We will absolutely be back!!

We eat here several times a month and the food is always good. Quiche is excellent especially if they get it warm enough when serving. Green chili cheeseburger is excellent served on home made bun with lots of sides. Salads are super as is the chicken noodle soup.

I would have appreciated a finger bowl or damp napkin. Much of the simplied menu is based on the South Indian "dosa," a thin crepe served as a bread, intended to be dipped into soups and sauces. The flavors are milder but leaning more Southeast Asian than other Indian food in town. Most of the menu is gluten free and only a few items come with chicken, seafood, or lamb. Good beer and wine are available as well as a spicy house chai, mango lassi, coffee, iced tea and sodas. We particularly enjoyed the chicken curry and the chile-onion pakora and its sauce. The dosas and "uttapam" (a pizza-like disc of vegetables cooked onto dosa) come with sambar (a soup) and chutneys that did not impress us. The well-lit space has about two-thirds of the tables customers could fill so they tend to have people waiting for tables in prime hours. They do not take reservations unless you have a party of at least 6. There is a long counter and one large, share-able table in addition to booths and smaller tables. The service was very good and helpful with guidance. There is a fairly-priced prix fixe for folks who don't want to share plates.

Not just huge,delicious burgers of many styles and lovely french fries anymore. The variety of sandwiches has expanded and they are nothing short of superb. Pulled Pork, Cheezy Cubano, Swiss/Cheddar/Green Chile Grilled Cheese, Crunchy Deep Fried Chicken, and the odd sounding but excellent Bacon/blue cheese/maple syrup burger are some recent favorites. I never thought the latter could be that good but it was shockingly good. The menu is dynamic and changes from time to time but the classics remain for afficionados of Bang Bite.
This food truck has earned all of the accolades it gets. There are outdoor umbrella tables to sit at. Oh, and most importantly, it is super clean. We have seen their daily clean up just before they close up the food truck. We eat there a lot. Its more casual and even better than a lot of the more famous sit-down restaurants with high priced menus. Oh, yes, and family friendly too.
