Santa Fe is a food town, with more restaurants per capita than any other city in the United States. You’ll find exciting cuisine, ever-changing, varied, and delicious. Santa Fe has earned a prominent place on the world culinary food map with its innovative Southwestern fare and hearty New Mexican dishes like green chile stew.
New Mexicans love their green chiles, the state vegetable, spicy and delicious. You’ll find many varieties of green chile burgers, all outstanding. If your server asks if you want red or green, they’re referring to the type of chile you’d like served with your enchiladas, chile rellenos, or other dishes. You can order “Christmas” if you want to try both.
If you are hungry for creative contemporary cuisine, you’ll find it here in Santa Fe: Spanish, French, Italian, Mexican, Middle Eastern, African, or Indian. You’ll find many restaurants in old adobe houses, with beautiful courtyards and patios for dining in warmer weather. Local chefs shop the farmers market for ingredients to enhance their farm-to-table menus.
In no particular order, here are my Santa Fe favorites from the concierge’s suggestions from Inn of The Five Graces.
