Santa Fe and Taos Restaurants?

If you pick & choose your entree, though, they're not that bad. Not so bad if you do lunch there. Moderately priced I would recommend Restaurant Atalaya on Guadalupe St. (eclectic Mediterraen/Southwest), Andiamo on Garfield St. (Italian), Old Mexico Grill on Cerillos Road (Mexican, not New Mexican cusine), Whistling Moon on Guadalupe St. (Mediterraen/Morrocco/Spanish/etc), Paul's of Santa Fe on Marcy St (Southwest/Calif cuisine), Cafe del Mar on St. Michael's Dr. (fresh seafood, simply prepared), Blue Corn Cafe on SanFrancisco St. (New Mexican cuisine), Pranzo Grill in SamBusco Mall (Italian), Poulet et Patate on Guadalupe St (simple French Provence). For breakfast, do Cafe Pasqual and Atalaya. In Taos, my favorite is Lambert's of Taos, but it's a bit more expensive. Moderately priced would be The Apple Tree Inn on Bent St., Outback Pizza for carry-out pizza, Restaurant Luna (Italian), Jacquelina's (Southwest cuisine) and I've heard good things about The Trading Post in Rancho de Taos, on the south edge of Taos. A neat place on the way to Taos is The Embudo Station, a brewery w/ simple New Mexican food among the cottenwoods along the Rio Grande. Santa Fe is a great restaurant towm, Taos is getting a lot better, Albuquerque is pretty slim pickings. Enjoy your trip, Fall is a great time of year in Northern New Mexico.

Two other Santa Fe restaurants worth mentioning that haven't been are Tomasitas and the Ore Cafe. Lotsa good food there! From [email removed] Thu Aug 31 11:32:09 EDT 1995 Article: 18907 of rec.food.restaurants

Tomasita's is VERY popular for New Mexican food. Ore Cafe is actually the Ore House (careful how you pronounce that!) Restaurant and very good for steaks & seafood.

There are a couple of new restaurants in SF that are getting some good reviews. We went to the Bistro 315 on Old Santa Fe Trail last week and it was excellent. The word is travelling fast among natives so make reservations early as it is a small place- Interesting Continental food. For New Mexican try Tomisitos, busy always, make a reservation, reasonable. We had a great takeout from the Poulet Rotisserie that was excellent. this is where the old OJ Sarahs use to be downtown. Old Mexico Grill on Cerrillos is good, reasonable and a little different than some of the Mexican style. Atalya Restaurant on Guadalupe Street is new and good. AA is a high price place with a lot of hype and good ratings that we haven't tried yet. My favorite italian is La Traviata. There is a new restaurant- Adiamos' in the guadalupe area that my friends say is great. Save some money and go to the Compound on Canyon road for a romantic evening.. Etc., etc. -- you willnot go hungry. Regards, Bob From [email protected] Fri Sep 1 11:10:42 EDT 1995 Article: 18939 of rec.food.restaurants

Regards, Bob |> _____________________________________________________________________________ I'll second all of Bob's recommendations except The Compound. For that sort of prices, I'd like to go somewhere that has a bit more interesting & innovative food. It IS romantic & service is impeccable. Bistro 315 is absolutely killer!! Simple French bistro-style food but flawlessly prepared. Andiamo is very good, simple, well-priced Italian fare. Double AA has very good upscale cowboy cusine, but has an attitude problem much like Coyote Cafe. Tom Hill From [email removed] Wed Aug 30 10:36:38 EDT 1995 Article: 18871 of rec.food.restaurants
