50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Santa Fe

“The food was excellent, the service was exceptional, the drinks were wonderful. Excellent, authentic New Mexican food!! You won't be disappointed.“

“Excellent food and atmosphere“

“So unique! Very delicious !“

“This place is ridiculously DELIGHTFUL. The character of the restaurant, the decor, the staff... it's just a perfect little gem. If you get a chance, try to eat on the patio. I've had Indian food through the years and always like trying new things, but I'd never had a doja or experienced this tradition of food. Of course, I had to try the paper dosa... I mean, if they're gonna name the place after the dish, hit me with your best shot! I have never seen anything like that on a plate, which immediately made me giggle when the server brought it! But, the taste was not funny. It was absolutely delicious. I'm reminded by the H. Jackson Brown quote, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do." This is one of those places you'll be disappointed to miss.“

“There is nothing we don’t love about this restaurant. The food is “real” New Mexican with some excellent special touches by the chef. The ambiance is wonderful, and the decor is authentic. Even the music is well selected and at a volume that enables pleasant conversation during the meal. The staff is helpful, responsive and friendly. A special shout out to Daniel, who is appropriately attentive and professional, always with a smile. Already looking forward to our next visit!“

“We ate at the rooftop cantina, which has a cool atmosphere but a bit loud. Homemade tortilla chips, guacamole, chicken enchiladas - huge serving of yummy food with delicious sauces, Tiajuana salad with chicken - light with lots of flavors and textures, & elote (roasted corn on the cob) - delicious, fresh, cooked perfectly. A little pricey for a cantina but the service was excellent and food was good.“

“Wonderful food and great service! Loved the Christmas chilies on my burrito!“

“The service was beyond compare. The timing of the meal and drinks, the energy and attention to detail and the aesthetic of the environment could not be improved upon. This is the best dining experience Ive had in Santa Fe, and Ive been to most of the top-reviewed restaurants.“

“Since they close at 3:00, I get my pie par baked and finish it in my oven at 500 degrees for 5 minutes. It comes out delicious! I love a half pesto and a half #2 16 inch pizza. Just fits in my oven. Really nice and helpful staff too!“

“Best food on our SW journey. Great flavor, perfectly seasoned. Beans & rice were so well done. Wonderful staff.“

“I’m not a big fan of pasta but my husband is, we found this place while walking around downtown and exploring a bit, and we decided to tried. OMG this blow up my mind, mac&cheese here is DELICIOUS, if I wanna eat pasta I’m definitely coming back here, I don’t mind driving 4-5 hrs. Me and my husband ordered a size medium container of mac&cheese and it was super cheap and they give you A LOT. We were super full. Congrats to the owner.“

“This is a mixed review. Jospeh is a formidable chef, but the restaurant itself is run down, chairs uncomfortable, noise level excessive and service sketchy. Some of our food (Duck confit pad thai and mixed mushrooms) was excellent, but the watermelon gazpacho was way too heavy on the garlic, and my husband couldn't eat it. Tuna tartare was mediocre and overpriced. Waitress couldn't stop asking how things were "TASTING", but didn't wait for an answer! Building should probably be condemned and the decor is falling apart.“

“Address is now 1320 Agua Fria St! Santa Fe, NM“

“fantastic food, service was great. the waiter was extremely informative and attentive! the BBQ sandwich was really good!“

“We are always recommending this place to our guests so we decided to check it out for ourselves and we were not disappointed. Owner brought a grande margarita that was sooo tasty. We ordered the combo plates. Huge portions and so very tasty. Tina was such a gracious host, Sopapillas were huge and lots of honey. Oh, we will definitely be returning!!“

“I'm one of the toughest reviewers in the Google community. These folks are truly gifted resterauters. Our Chevre and Tuna Nicoise Salads were excellent. As was the butternut squash soup and basket of French Baguette bread and exceptional butter. We finished off lunch with a raspberry tart and a raspberry and pear (?) tart and coffee which were just as fantastic. Can't wait to get back to Santa Fe to enjoy their food and hospitality again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“

“The girl who helped us was fantastic. We’ve never been there before and she answered all our questions. The drinking chocolate was so good, and the many chocolates we bought were amazing! Thank you!“

“Fabulous!!
Driving through Santa Fe on a road trip. 2 couples. Looking for a good pizza to take back to our hotel. Ended up at this amazing joint.
Ordered 2 pies and waited on the lovely front patio. The place was hopping on a Tuesday night.
10 minutes later the sweet woman who took our order at the cash register brought our pies & a complimentary signature dish for us to share. She said “we want you to come back”
Back at our hotel we all thoroughly enjoyed the chicken Alfredo lasagna with green chilis. The pizza was loaded with toppings & the cheese was fresh and tasty! Excellent crust as well!
Super customer service & quality eats means we will definitely be back & highly recommend checking out this family owned restaurant for great Italian bites.“

“Muy buena comida y buen ambiente“

“The Roasted New Zealand Lamb Rack at Restaurant Martín looked like a work of art, impeccable from every angle. However, tastes vary, and the lamb here was prepared in a Western style, retaining a slightly strong, natural flavor, and the sauce was bland, completely unappetizing to my liking. 😂 Luckily, the shrimp appetizer salvaged things, and I'm now waiting for the fruit shaved ice to rescue my palate. It was truly a memorable culinary experience in Santa Fe! 🍨✨“

“The food at La Choza is excellent. There are a ton of vegetarian options, and the green chiles and margaritas are delicious. We went to this restaurant 2 out of 3 days we were in Santa Fe, and if we were staying longer, we would go again. The server our second night was Luis. We had never met such an outstanding server. Luis made sure we had all the information to order something we would enjoy. He noticed that some crema was left off of my chile relleño before I even noticed, and he immediately sent some to the table. He was friendly, and when we mentioned what an excellent job he did, he said it was because he loves people. I hope you get to meet him while you are eating there!“

“Our first time at the Ranch House was less than an exceptional experience. Our waitress, Peggy Lee was the most professional, courteous and friendly person I have met at a resturante. She made us feel like we were old friends . The food was absolutely the best flavored I have experienced. The prime rib plate was to die for and I wouldnt have known it was being served except our waitress, Peggy recommended it. Very heads up resturante. I wish we had a Ranch House in Wichita Falls Tx.“

“Excellent cafe experience! Wonderful food, friendly happy staff, great cafe vibe. A Santa Fe must eats!“

“The breakfast burrito should be called the breakfast, lunch and dinner burrito! It is huge - and delicious! Get it Christmas style. The play of all of the flavors is just perfection. Honestly, this is probably the best breakfast I have enjoyed in my lifetime. I had it covered in cilantro as well and washed it down with their medium coffee... a perfect pair! Don't sleep on this place. One burrito and you'll be pondering a move to Santa Fe.“

“We were looking for a mom and pop hamburger place and found one. It did not disappoint. Gigantic burgers with any topping you would like cooked your way on the spot. The string fries were reminiscent of ribbons fries found at. Canton Trade Days in Texas. Delicious! Highly recommend! Great service and atmosphere. Great price, too!“

“One of our favorite restaurants when we are in Santa Fe! Friendly and efficient service! Amazing food! My husband says the coconut cream pie is the best he has ever had!“

“Great and interesting combinations of ice cream that were very delicious!“

“Alkeme is one of the most special fine dining experiences in Santa Fe (which is saying a lot!). Everything is so beautifully thought out and executed. The food is great, the service so knowledgeable and friendly. We've been going since soon after it opened and have taken many locals and out-of-towners and have never been disappointed. Can't recommend enough.“

“Breakfast Burrito-Mixed w/ bacon, chorizo & polish sausage. MASSIVE freshly cooked burrito. all meats are always chopped, cooked all the way through to perfection. signature green salsa is delicious with a good spice kick.“

“Fine food, great service, very roomy space with lots of parking. Wine and beer choices are decent. Has AC cooling. Not a long wait for a table most of the time. Highly recommended. Tom.“

“Really, REALLY want to give this restaurant five stars. The ambiance is clean and inviting, the menu options got me super-excited as a half Japanese, and the food was delicious. Unfortunately, the portions were just too small. Also, on the Bento, I would have liked to have more substantial sides rather than primarily a large green salad. The other sides they did offer were very tasty (roasted squash and pickled radishes)—wish they had given more of them.
On the upside, they have a cute shelf where they sell some unique Japanese ingredients like artisanal shoyu and various yuzu products.“

“this is literally my favorite coffee and my favorite place to eat in New mexico. everybody here is very hardworking kind and friendly and real. the food is superb! you can tell that everything is completely fresh. the eggs are real eggs. the ingredients are just very fresh, good ingredients! I could not come up with a complaint about this place if I searched for one. highly recommend“

“Very delicious food and friendly service! The burritos are nice they have a mix of ingredients like refried beans, tomato, onion along with the meat you choose. We would definitely go back, the food tastes like it's prepared with love.“

“I rate this 5 star. Friendly, excellent service and great food! Try the rice bowls and ramen. Will definitely be back next time we’re in the area ! Wow!“

“This was my first time to experience the beauty of this restaurant. I was with my family, celebrating my niece's H.S. graduation on May 21st. The food was delicious! The whole experience was enchanting and I was mesmerized by everything. I've always dreamed of going to Japan and for a moment, I felt the tranquility in not just the restaurant but the spa next door. Arigato!“

“Good food! Dolmas were unsalted and pan fried! A first time for me. Came with a dipping sauce and was much improved with some salt.
The Patmos lambed was more chopped than shaved and crispy chewy. Good in the gyro with the sauce and accompaniments. The titan fries with the Aleppo pepper sauce was spicy and tart with capers. Excellent!“

“Service was on slower side of things throughout the meal, but all servers were pretty nice. All of my tapas were pretty delish, and I really liked their Spanish mushroom soup, papatas bravas and and mussels with coconut milk salsa verde: everything was spot on. Their Spanish negroni cocktail was lovely, too. The gateau basque dessert kinda ruined my meal: it seems to have been sitting in the fridge for the day but it was certainly not made fresh and I could hardly taste vanilla bean in it. A lady manager came by and was rather kind to comp it after I declined to try another dessert instead.“

“The food was great, and the service even better! We were in a time crunch to eat and make it to an event, and we were seated immediately.“

“Excellent time at Radish & Rye. Three of us all loved our meals. Service by David was perfect - friendly, there when needed, but not intrusive. This was to recognize a birthday, so we delighted in the eve. But, as w/most good restaurants, the cost limits the times we can enjoy such an evening. Worth the expense.“

“Great for a couple looking for New Mexican food, just visiting from Kansas. Just good food.“

“Each and every visit, we enjoy something "new" to us - and the passion the chef(s) put into each of their dishes is truly remarkable. Do not miss Cafe Pasqual's. They will accommodate you for breakfast/lunch, and the wait is worth it. They do accept reservations for their dinner service.“

“Anyone who did a 1-star review obviously has no class or taste. This place is honestly amazing. Second best dirty martini I’ve ever had and the hummus and guacamole? Delicious. I haven’t even had the main course yet and felt compelled to write this“

“Great craft ice cream! Truly New Mexican!“

“we ate here sunday with bloody marys and mimosas. the blue corn pancakes were extraordinary. we returned on monday because i always wanted to try chillquilles...so we both ordered a plate...they did not disappoint. the staff all were extremely attentive and kind. i wish we ate lunch here as well. there are no words to describe this gem, so go grab a meal and witness them for yourself. youll be returning“

“We love the tacos and we adore the staff! Every time, the service is friendly, prompt and exceptional. Love this place!“

“Fantastic food and friendly service!“

“There has been a change to the breakfast menu, and it's so much better for that. My favorite change is to the Green Hummus Toast. It was a delight when it was made as an avocado based toast, but now is available with a delicious hummus spread. Featuring local sourdough bread that's lightly toasted topped with organic eggs that can be ordered in any style, (how they make the scrambled version so light and fluffy is beyond me) along with fresh red onion that is a complement and never intrusive. The feta cheese sprinkled on top just adds the finishing touch. My other suggestion? While this is a breakfast specialty, you might want a savory element, adding a side order of sautéed mushrooms. Yikes, that's really good!“

“We visited the Tune-Up Cafe for a late midweek breakfast and enjoyed Christmas huevos rancheros and a vegetarian breakfast burrito. Asked for eggs over medium and they were exactly that. Sauces, especially the red, were flavorful, and portions were just right. We sat outside on the nice patio, and the service was pleasant and friendly. This was far enough away from the downtown plaza that it didn’t feel touristy, and we liked that. Nice people, delicious food. Check it out and support a small local business!“

“I went to visit this sweet shop with my sister during the holidays. staff was so friendly and the shop was so cute . I will be back to visit again.“

“At Iconik Red on Cerrillos, I highly recommend the pork chops with organic eggs and spiced potatoes slathered in red chili. Yum.“
