Five Star Restaurants in Santa Fe

In a foodie town like Santa Fe, it's a safe bet any open restaurant is more than satisfying its customers. But if you're looking for white linen, top-notch service, these are the places to go.

Like all artists here, chefs at these restaurants relish the creative vibe in Santa Fe and combine world tastes with classic New Mexico chile-based dishes. Many of the meats are locally raised, and the seafood is less than a day out of the ocean. This Top 10 list isn't necessarily in order–all of these restaurants will serve an unforgettable meal–but all 10 are the cream of the crop in Santa Fe for fine dining, based on food quality, service and ambiance.

They all benefit from friendly competition for a slew of national cuisine and wine awards. Fuego at La Posada de Santa Fe is within the beautiful and historic Stabb House. Geronimo sits along scenic Canyon Road, and the Compound is known for its garden patio. All of these restaurants enjoy a unique Santa Fe ambiance, and pride themselves in distinguishing menu items. Which ever restaurants you choose, those on this list will give you a culinary experience you'll savor for years. Bien Provecho!
