Body Café is the dining side of Body of Santa Fe, a gym and spa with all the trimmings. The ingredients are wheat-, dairy-, and sugar-free. And 90% of the ingredients are organic. The extensive veg menu also caters to omnivores with dishes such as a tower of quinoa with its seared tuna, brunoise carrots, curried potatoes, and a sesame-and-fruit salsa. Liquids take up half the menu with herbal elixirs, straight-up juices, and smoothies made with coconut milk and fruit. Kick back with organic wine, beer and saké.

Breakfast/Lunch 8am-3pm,
Dinner 5pm-9:30pm (subject to change)
It's hard not to love Pasqual's, what with the bright Mexican tiles, tantalizing Latin-American menu and friendly service. The place is especially busy for weekend breakfast, when a line can form down the block. But don't give up; tell the hostess you're willing to sit at the big oak community table, where locals and tourists share copies of the morning paper and talk about how much they love living here or would love to live here. Don't miss the hot chocolate, housemade sausages and fabulous baked goods.

Sure, you go in thinking you’ll be good and get a skinny latte, scrambled egg whites and a side of turkey and green chile sausage, but five minutes later somebody’s saying “eclair” and the voice is coming from your mouth. But, boy, do they taste good. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review
Owner/chef Ahmed Obo was born on the island of Lamu off the coast of Kenya, among the culinary traditions of Africa, Arabia and India. His food reflects the Lamu style of culinary fusion. It’s designed to be interesting and different but doesn’t attempt to force anyone too far from their comfort zone. The ingredients, including a host of local meats and veggies, is priced unusually low for a restaurant dealing in clean, local food. Try the marinated tilapia, served with red chile-and-coconut-infused basmati rice, sautéed spinach, and a dried-fruit-and-ginger chutney. (Alibi Staff, January 31, 2012) Add a Review Ever had a “caramale”? It’s like a Payday candy bar, only adorable and New Mexican. Santa Fe’s Señor Murphy Candymakers fashions the little "tamales" out of vanilla fudge, caramel and piñon. Each one gets wrapped up in an itty-bitty corn husk and finished off with a couple of ribbons. All of the goodies here are picture perfect and range from chile creams to fudges, organic chocolates to sugar-free sweets. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review
The Teahouse is a lovely getaway for any occasion. Not only is this quaint restaurant just the place place for tea but it also serve local and organic foods for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. There are more than 100 tea blends to choose from. (Alibi Staff, June 9, 2011) Add a Review  Tune-Up CafeMon-Fri 7 am-10 pm
Sat-Sun 8 am-10pm (subject to change) Read more: Locovore: Santa Fe’s Tune-Up Café follows its own path (1/12/2012)
The Tune-Up Café is an ace in the hole for Santa Fe restaurant recommendations, especially if you’re planning a meal for picky eaters. The café is filled with a glow. People-friendly touches include kids’ books, good music and lighting, and a long mirror that lets wall-facing diners feel like they’re a part of the room. Meanwhile, the food manages to be a lot of things without following any one path. It’s not a burger joint, but the burgers are good. It’s not New Mexican, but Tune-Up serves chile rellenos and huevos rancheros and green chile. On paper, its most unique influence is from El Salvador, but you could eat there many times and not even notice. There’s usually a vegan soup and an incredible steak (from local, grass-fed cows) on special. (Alibi Staff, March 29, 2012) Add a Review |
