Food Scene

Currently this is our very favorite place to eat! The food is great and much of it is locally sourced. It's a fun local hangout, tucked away in a neighborhood.

If you want to try New Mexican food, this is a good place to start. The ambience is really fun, and it's located in a hstoric Santa Fe house. Food is spicy and traditional.

This is another locals place, hidden in a nearby shopping mall, but serving excellent and authentic New Mexican specialties, at a reasonable price. Many ingredients are locally sourced - we love it!

This great place is less than 10 minutes walk from the casita, and attracts both locals and tourists. It serves traditional New Mexican food of high quality, and has a lovely ambience and a beautiful outdoor patio. There is often a wait, so try to make a reservation if you can!

We recommend a spa experience at the lovely Ten Thousand Waves Japanese spa, followed by a fabulous dinner at Izanami. The restaurant building itself is absolutely exquisite, with beautiful wood details and an incredible deck. The food is meticulously prepared and delicious. Highly recommended!

This is a great place to experience epicurean vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free cuisine, although some meat dishes are on the menu too. Everything we had on our last visit was beautifully prepared.

Drinks & Nightlife

This is a fun hangout for locals and tourists. There's often live music happening here, and the food is good, especially the brisket and pulled pork.

This is our local pub, with a great outdoor terrace to sit out in in the warmer months of the year. They have live music several nights a week. It's a happening local scene.

We love this cozy teahouse at the top of Canyon Road - amazing selection of teas and a bucolic garden to enjoy them.

Entertainment & Activities

Violet Crown is the newest addition to the Santa Fe scene, and happens to be 5 minutes walk away from the casita. It's a movie theater, showing Hollywood and arts movies, but also has a great bar with many different artesanal beers. So you can have a drink with friends, a light dinner, and a movie, all in the same building. Great atmosphere!

This is a perfect place to take kids of any age when you are visiting Santa Fe! It's part museum, part playground, part exploration - a fantastic place for kids to try out and learn about new things. There is an extensive outdoor area and garden, but in cold weather this is an excellent place for kids to run around and have fun.

This lovely little spa is around the corner from the casita, and locally-owned. I just got a facial there, and was impressed!

Parks & Nature

Bandelier is the preeminent historical monument in our region - it's located in a gorgeous canyon, and you can experience the way that the Puebloan peoples lived before the Europeans arrived in North America. It's spectacular!
