Top 5 Fine Dining in Santa Fe

  1. 1

    Geronimo

    Canyon Road

    New Mexico's only AAA Four Diamond and Forbes Four Star restaurant, housed in the 1756 Borrego House — Pasatiempo's review praises the "perfect mingling of food, decor, service, and wine" and singles out the Tellicherry-rubbed elk tenderloin.

  2. 2

    The Compound Restaurant

    Canyon Road

    Chef-owner Mark Kiffin's 2005 James Beard Award for Best Chef: Southwest still anchors Canyon Road's adobe-compound flagship — AAA Four Diamond, DiRoNA, and a James Beard Outstanding Restaurant semifinalist with a contemporary American menu.

  3. 3

    Sazón

    Downtown

    Chef Fernando Olea's 2022 James Beard Award for Best Chef: Southwest, plus a AAA Four Diamond — Pasatiempo's review crowns the Sopa de Amor and chapuline tacos, with moles and mezcal the hallmarks of the upstairs Shelby Street room.

  4. 4

    Restaurant Martin

    Downtown

    Chef Martín Rios — a multiple James Beard finalist for Best Chef: Southwest — runs Pasatiempo's architect-chef profile subject, layering molecular-gastronomy foams and soils onto locally sourced progressive American plates that change with the season.

  5. 5

    Joseph's Culinary Pub

    Agua Fria

    Chef Joseph Wrede's Agua Fria "culinary pub" earned 3-of-4 chiles from Pasatiempo and New York Times praise — standouts are the rabbit lasagna with bold ragù and the bronzed cauliflower with crème fraîche and white beans.
