Where the Locals Go

Bruno’s-Just off Paseo de Peralta is this golden gem of a place that has a real wood-burning pizza oven. Go for a slice for $5 or get a whole pie. Top pizza maker Vincenzo is the real deal.

Fusion Tacos-Seven locations to choose from.

Henry and the Fish—Located on San Francisco Street, this cozy spot offers a variety of healthy options for breakfast and lunch. Be sure and get one of their homemade cookies for an afternoon treat.

Mille-Wait a sec, are we in France or Santa Fe? With Mille it gets pretty darn confusing. Marcel Remillieux owner of Mille, a French café and crêperie located in the heart of downtown Santa Fe, has pretty much blown away the entire town with his incredibly authentic French cuisine. People can’t stop raving about his food and his friendly local vibe. Get off of the internet and go now.

Mucho Gusto-This restaurant is cornered away in the Harvey Center off Paseo de Peralta but you’ll find it brimming with locals getting their Mexican and New Mexican food.

NOSA-Is a destination. Chef Graham Dodds of Dallas, Texas manifests his dream in creating a unique fine dining and inn experience out in the middle of our magical high desert and we are all the better for it. Set in the scenic Ojo Caliente River Valley overlooking the majestic Jemez Mountains is the secluded and serene NOSA restaurant & inn. NOSA is an acronym for “NOrth of SAnta Fe” and also an old Spanish word for “ours” which speaks to the communal nature of a place to gather, dine and rest. A lunch or dinner at NOSA is not just a meal. It’s an experience.

Plaza Cafe-Like a diner, the Plaza Cafe has a big menu that appeals to all eaters. While you can get huevos rancheros or a breakfast burrito the size of your head, you can also opt for one of the best Greek salads you will ever have. For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the Plaza Cafe is the perfect spot for a single diner or a group. They also have a location on the south side of town. 

The Teahouse-With a diverse menu, everyone will find something to nosh on at The Teahouse. From salads to sandwiches and entrees, you won’t leave hungry. 

Vinaigrette-When you need a hearty salad, this is where to go. But don’t think it’s a wimpy salad because Vinaigrette is anything but wimpy.
