"This adobe home off Canyon Road was Santa Fe’s “big art thing” long before Meow Wolf. People make a reservation here for special occasions, or just any night they feel like balling out while appreciating the sanded white walls and folk art-filled curio windows. They perpetually tweak the menu, but always deliver terrific, elegant food. During summer they’ve got things like duroc pork chop with grilled Palisade peaches or juicy roast chicken showered in fennel. Cooler months bring out excellent sherry mushroom soup, pork tenderloin alongside horseradish mashed potatoes that will stick to your ribs, and piñon cheesecake. Come to feed your inner architecture nerd, and stay for the velvety opera cake made with chocolate mousse and caramel." - nina katz

"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
"The elegant, grown-up Compound Restaurant on Santa Fe's Canyon Road caters to devoted locals and tourists alike with a Southwestern-meets-Mediterranean focus. James Beard Award–winning chef Mark Kiffin scores with entrées like roasted rack of lamb, salmon with crispy pancetta, and wild mushrooms with organic stone-ground polenta. At lunch, the bar menu is less pricey and offers a chance to sample the famed Compound Burger, made with local Lone Mountain Ranch Wagyu beef, and washit down with a cold beer. Even with the fantastic cuisine, the best parts of this white tableclothand custom furnitureinstitutionremain the clean adobe arches and folk-art decorcreated by artist Alexander Girard."
