The 12 Best Restaurants in Santa Fe

"Decked out with sanded white walls and 1960s folk art-inspired details care of interior and textile designer Alexander Girard, The Compound’s ambiance sets the stage for its contemporary American menu with global influences. After more than two decades in the kitchen, chef-owner and James Beard Award–winner for Best Chef Southwest Mark Kiffin passed the whisk to Michelin-trained Weston Ludeke in 2022. As executive chef, Ludeke shares Kiffin’s devotion to seasonal ingredients, from heirloom tomatoes to locally raised lamb, and upscale takes on homey dishes like the popular chicken schnitzel and osso buco. The Compound is a local favorite for luxurious lunches." - Ashley M. Biggers
