  • NileGuide Expert Says:

    A Canyon Road landmark for a decade, this is five-star dining, right in the heart of the gallery district. The menu is exceptional—elk tenderloin is the house specialty—but especially fab is the cozy bar, with kiva fireplace in the corner and appetizers (try the spicy Maryland crab cake) for the tasting.


  • Description:

    • This elegant restaurant offers one of Santa's Fe's most delectable and atmospheric dining experiences. Occupying an old adobe structure known as the Borrego House -- which was built by Geronimo Lopez in 1756 but has since been completely restored -- it retains the feel of an old Santa Fe home. And now, with Chef Martin Rios at the helm, its food is simply fantastic, always utilizing seasonal produce. If you enjoy dining outside, reserve a spot on the porch and watch the action on Canyon Road. You might start with Hawaiian tuna, smoked salmon and avocado tartare, served with chive buttermilk pancakes, and then move onto Alaskan halibut with red and yellow peppers, baby fennel, and saffron risotto. If you want to try one of Santa Fe's most renowned entrees, order the peppery elk tenderloin with applewood smoked bacon served with fork-mashed Yukon gold potatoes. For dessert try the Jivara chocolate Palet d'Or, a flourless cake with apricot cream and caramelized Rice Krispies. The menu changes seasonally, and there's an excellent wine list.

      Best in Santa Fe

    • We had a wonderful dinner with excellent service and outstanding food. The elk is their signature entree and well worth the money.
