Santacafé
Old~world elegance meets contemporary cuisine in a venue that boasts one of the best outdoor dining experiences in Santa Fe. Nestled in the charm and elegance of one of Santa Fe's most beloved historical homes, Santacafé has been a restaurant icon for over 40 years. It was bought in 2019 by Santa Fe restauranteur Quinn Stephenson - the driving force behind another Santa Fe legend, Coyote Café. Boasting one of the best outdoor patio dining experiences the City Different has to offer, Santacafé combines the traditions of modern American cooking with exquisitely locally sourced ingredients.
This multi-award winning cafe quickly became popular after opening its doors in the early 1990s. The festive decor, capable wait staff and wonderful food have contributed to this popularity. Coyote Cafe has made a name for itself by combining the flavors of the local area with international flare. The Black Truffle Risotto and Lacquered Beijing Duck are two of its menu stars. This is a busy place that often hosts private parties and is packed with tourists, so reservations are highly recommended.
The Hotel St. Francis, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was built in 1923. Until the early 1980s, it was known as the De Vargas Hotel. In 1986, the property was renovated and restored to its original splendor. Each room is furnished with antique furniture and fixtures, and some have views of the picturesque Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The original shutter-style windows remain, adding some extra charm. The concierge service at this hotel has been hailed as one of the finest in the world.
Santa Fe Sage Inn is nestled in the foothills of the scenic Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The grand lobby welcomes you with open arms. The rooms are spacious, elaborate and well-equipped with modern amenities. It also has a conference room that is armed with audio visual equipment. Centrally located, the art galleries, museums and shops in the vicinity add to this hotel's convenience. The speedy and warm service will make your stay a memorable one.
Located right next to the old railroad depot, this restaurant has been a local favorite for many years. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the patio is a great place to dine when the weather is warm. Both the food and the margaritas served at Tomasita's Santa Fe Restaurant have won acclaim. Locals will tell you that if you're searching for a great red or green chile, stop your search here. The Chile Rellenos, green chiles stuffed with cheese, dipped in batter and deep-fried, are fabulous. The restaurant does not accept reservations, but you can always enjoy a Margarita at the bar while you wait.
