Albuquerque Dining Guide - Santa Fe Restaurants

While it’s hard to imagine that a seemingly sleepy Southwest city would be able to rival the culinary worlds of cities like New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, Santa Fe proudly defies all notions of an inferior restaurant scene. Much like Albuquerque, Santa Fe boasts a staggering selection of world-class restaurants that have garnered fame both state and countrywide. From Southwest gems like the Coyote Café to gourmet French hotspots like Fuego to eclectic fusion dynamos like Geronimo, restaurants in Santa Fe offer some of the most mind-blowing culinary experiences around. And while French, Spanish and New Mexican cuisines seem to be pretty heavy with carnivore-based menus, there are a surprising amount of herbivore-friendly dishes at almost every location, so folks seeking vegetarian restaurants in Santa Fe won’t be disappointed.
