50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Santa Fe

“Excellent food and atmosphere“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I've raved about this restaurant to anyone that will listen. My favorite meal in some time. The service is amazing, mocktails were delicious and well crafted, prices were great. Everything you want from a romantic dinner, you'll find here. We loved the homemade stracciatella with house made bread, the filet mignon, and the alaskan halibut. Oh my gosh, and the key lime pie! I will absolutely return on another trip. We sat in the dining room, but the patio looked stunning, with fans and a wonderful view.“

“Muy buena comida y buen ambiente“

“We ordered beef noodle soup, shrimp/pork wonton soup, pork buns and scallion pancakes. Their pork buns and scallion pancakes are exceptionally delicious, taste authentic Chinese food! Except we hope the pancakes should be larger and buns should be 6 for the prices they charge. As meticulous food critic, originated from China years ago, we are so happy to find this Chinese restaurant inside the super popular Santa Fe plaza! I love super spicy flavored food. Their red pepper sauce is soooooooo fresh and purely spicy. Highly recommend their hot sauce, pork buns and scallion pancakes!👍👍👍“

“The food and preparation were exceptional. The wait staff were skilled, but service was slow. The main issue I had with the ambiance was the large dog accompanying the couple at the adjacent table. The dog made service to our table difficult, resulting and n my chair leg being kicked a few too many times. In my opinion, a dog has no business in a restaurant, especially a Michelin rated one. Come on Martin, if you want to be high end, dogs have no place inside.“

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

“My first visit to Izanami exceeded my expectations. Each dish was delivered in a well paced manner. Each dish was unique and delicious. Jenny, our server, was a gem. Her advice was spot on and her attention to us was top notch. I left an hour ago and am already wishing I could do it all over again.“

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

“Coyote Cafe Rooftop Cantina is an absolute must-visit in Santa Fe! Alana and Lauren were amazing, and the service was so warm and friendly that we actually went back for a second night. The food was incredible, the service was always with a smile, and the vibe is fantastic.

If you can get a seat overlooking the street, it’s absolutely worth it—you really get to soak in the energy and atmosphere of Santa Fe.

And the food! The Frito pie and carne asada tacos were out of this world! Everything was delicious, but those two were definite standouts.

Highly recommend this place. Great food, amazing atmosphere, and an incredible team. We can’t wait to come back!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“Lovely dining experience. Whenever we are in Santa Fe, we always try and dine at R & R. The Smoked Pork Ribs (Starter) with Chipotle Carolina Sauce and Pickled Cucumber should be illegal!! They are that good!! And where else on the planet can you get shrimp and grits with the hunk of pork belly? I mean, seriously? Put this restaurant on your bucket list.“

“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!“

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

“Loved everything about their green chile cheeseburgers except the bun. Too big and makes the burger dry. But so far the BEST sweet potato and waffle fries, excellent!! Best of all is the sweet guy who took our order and brought us our food. His name RJ and he is a real asset to this establishment!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“This had to be one of the best dining experiences we have ever had or at least its up there in the top 5!! The food was spectacular and service impeccable. Chef Erica came out and we took phots together and thanked her for an unforgettable evening. DO NOT miss his restaurant.“

“It's such a nice change of scenery and vibe shift. The food is yummy. It was my birthday and our waiter surprised me with a tasty pastry. (Like he was sneaky and scared me a little 😅) It was great. Definitely will be back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Fantastic food and friendly service!“

“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“

“I've been there a few times and really love this little Italian restaurant. Both friends I took there thanked me for it. I've had red-sauce classic dishes as well as meat and fish entrees with butter or cream sauces as well as olio e aglio. They are all good. The bread basket is served with warm marinara sauce.“

“The butter chicken was to die for and the naan was amazing it was soft, warm, and chewy! the atmosphere was very calming and laid back. The staff were exceptional and attended to everyone with great attention. if you want amazing Indian food with exceptional service and laid back calm atmosphere highly recommend India House!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Delicious authentic Greek food right in Santa Fe that has all the classic options and more. I had the Classic Gyro with Lamb and Beef as well as their Baklava for dessert. The Gyro was stuffed and had lots of meat. The meat was a bit on the drier side but still very good, and the Tzatziki sauce packed a good strong punch for the sauce. I also got to try the Rotisserie chicken plate which had a super moist chicken breast, and the rice was especially good as well. The baklava was rich and heavier on the honey and nut side, very filling and definitely recommend. Seating is limited although there was not a wait, and overall a very friendly and good ambiance.“

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

“I’m visiting from Texas and have been here several times! Breakfast is delicious and the coffee is fantastic! Great atmosphere and the outdoor space adds the perfect touch.“

“Why did I wait to long to try this place?! The salad that comes with the bento box is dressed so deliciously. I had one of the weekly specials — tuna sashimi — and it was fresh and had great texture. Amazing. I’ll be back for sure.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent service and food in a lovely setting. Superb wine list too!“

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

“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.“

“SUPER friendly staff. Extremely efficient. Fantastic baked goods.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“
