Santacafé is a new American restaurant located in Santa Fe, New Mexico in the United States. The restaurant is located in the former home of José Manuel Gallegos.[1]
The restaurant, which is located in a historic building that was once the home of congressional delegate José Manuel Gallegos, has kiva style fireplaces and courtyard dining.[2] The interior has been described as minimalistic.[3] The interior has a close seating arrangement and was described as being "close together, so don't plan on sharing anything intimate that you don't mind sharing with the class," by the Denver Post.[4] Ming Tsai is the former executive chef.[5] Martin Anton became executive chef in 2012. The restaurant was chosen as one of Giada De Laurentiis favorite restaurants in Santa Fe on Giada's Weekend Getaways.[6] In 1998, Tom Ford named the restaurant one of his favorites in Santa Fe.[7] Former chef Ángel Estrada left the restaurant to start his own restaurant, The MidTown Bistro, in 2013. He had worked at Santacafé for 18 years.[8]
