Located right on our famous Plaza, you will want to pop in for the food but the staff are so lovely! Famous for their Chile, you can buy it by the jar. My must have is the Greek salad with chicken! Don’t forget their Southside location too!

The Pantry

Breakfast or lunch, this is a must visit in Santa Fe. French Bistro excellence. I love an omelette or tartin, but don’t forget their Southside quiche! You can take bread, pastries, quiche all to go, but get there early! Charming to say the least!!

Jane’s Beard Award winning chef. This is very popular and be overwhelming in high season with long wait times, but you can reserve tables for dinner time. Delicious! Then menu is ranging from southwest to Asian fare, something for everyone.

It’s an eye opener! Take a drive up (about 45 mins) to Los Alamos to understand how this place and the scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project changed the world as we know it. The scenic drive is also to behold.
