I don't have the file but I grew up in Santa Fe... here's my favorites. You can find the addresses in the phone book. Breakfast

La Fonda is famous for their breakfasts

Lunch
The Shed (Arrive early, there's always a line. The best enchiladas in Santa Fe.) Josey's A quaint family type atmosphere... house converted into a restaurant. Rancho de Chimeyo. Worth the beautiful 40 minute drive through rural NM. The Three Cities of Spain on Canyon Road has good Cheesecake and coffee.

Dinner
la tuertulias (spelling is WAY off)
Molly's (Lunch or Dinner. Order your enchiladas "Christmas" meaning half red and half green chile.) Anthony's on the Delta in Espanola. Worth the beautiful half hour drive. The most beautiful restaurant I've ever seen. Not Mexican food.

If you're tired of Mexican food, the Ore House has good steaks.

(I'm not fond of the Neuvo/Californio/Baby vegetable on squab with raspberry chile sauce that you might find at places like Coyote Cafe... just my preference...

Another place worth looking into is the Inn of the Anasazi (I think I'm spelling that right).  Last time I was there I had tender basted roast squab with raspberry truffle chile sauce... :-)  [Actually, I don't recall what I had... but I do remember that it was delightful].

A comment on the Coyote Cafe and the nuevo/nouvelle Southwest cuisine: I find it a lot of fun in the cooking -- even more fun than in the eating.  Get one of Mark Miller's books and have at it... just be sure you have plenty of sharp knives... there's a lot of chopping involved!

BTW, speaking of Mark Miller, has anyone tried his Washington, DC, place yet?  Something-or-another Sage.  Comments?

I've been to Red Sage (14th & G sts, NW) twice, and it is hands down the best restaurant in DC at the moment.  The decor is great, too (it is as jam packed as Coyote Cafe is spare -- weird and wonderfull SW art jsut everywhere).  Unfortunately, the prices are even higher here than in Santa Fe, and there is a SIX WEEK wait for a weekend reservation.  *sigh*
