The 23 Essential Restaurants in Santa Fe

"Nestled within a cozy adobe home built in 1756, Geronimo is famed for its five-star experience, from the valet who takes your car to the impeccably plated dessert to finish a meal. Fans are especially fond of the stunning meat preparations like elk tenderloin, rack of lamb, and foie gras, which make this iconic Santa Fe institution ideal for a celebration. Stop by for major holidays like Christmas or New Year’s to experience the prix fixe menus and wintry ambiance. The wine menu is extensive, and servers are quick to pair dishes with a bottle at any price." - Willy Carleton, Justin De La Rosa, Karen Fischer
