      Originally from Mexico City, Chef Fernando Olea, formerly Chef of Epazote, has been enthralling diners in Santa Fe since 1991. Chef Olea creates sophisticated flavors using Old Mexico’s indigenous and culinary traditions alongside ingredients from around the world. His menu is deliberately small, featuring fresh and locally sourced produce and meats when possible.
      Nothing evokes the mystery of Mexican cuisine more than mole, a sauce of complex flavors that usually includes toasted and ground spices, seeds, nuts, chocolate and chile. Many mole recipes contain more than thirty ingredients and some recipes have five varieties of chile alone. Chef Olea is delighted to share his moles that include his "New Mexican Mole" that he created to commemorate Santa Fe’s 400 year anniversary in 2009.
      Awarded the prestigious AAA 4 Diamond Award and ranked fourth in the country for fine dining by Trip Advisor, Chef Olea is honored to have won the 2022 james Beard Award, Best Chef: Southwest.

      We had a wonderful dinner in the beautiful courtyard at Santacafe. The service was truly outstanding from the first moment to the last - including Leo, our server, the hostess and everyone else we encountered. The food was imaginative and artfully presented, from the appetizers to our spectacular dessert. The lamb chops were a little chewy but everything else was fabulous and it was our best meal in Santa Fe overall.

      Coyote Cafe continues to be one of the Southwest’s finest dining experience, we have been eating there since it opened in the 1980’s, I think our meal last night probably was the best we have had through the years, Elk, Lobster, Banana Mousse were excellent, Andy did an excellent job orchestrating the dining experience

      As always, Cafe Pasqual's does not disappoint. I had the Chorizo tofu stacked enchiladas and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am a solo diner and always sit at the Community table. It is a great way to meet people and have entertaining conversation.
