Beyond "Christmas"

While remarkable meals inspired by regional ingredients from green and red chile to blue corn abound, you can also sample international flavors and modern fusion options at hundreds of award-winning, one-of-a-kind, locally owned restaurants right here in The City Different. From gourmet pizza and handmade pasta to savory pot stickers and spicy pakora, Santa Fe offers diverse cuisine from around the globe, including Japanese, Indian, African, French, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, South American, Mediterranean, Spanish, and more.

And it’s excellent. Home to the only AAA Four Diamond restaurants in the state of New Mexico—Geronimo on Canyon Road or Terra at the Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado— Santa Fe also boasts several chefs who have been nominated for the James Beard “Best Chef: Southwest” awards, with Chef Mark Kiffin owner/chef at The Compound Restaurant receiving top honors. Truly all of our chefs are artists, always honing their craft, and integral members of our community, heralded for their talent and service. You can taste the pride.

You can also find classic steakhouses, cozy brew and gastro pubs, as well as eateries specializing in mouthwatering BBQ, and delicious dining options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free needs.
