Clafoutis Best of Santa Fe Restaurants

 
 
 
 

Clafoutis is real French country food without the fuss

There are many places to stop and eat in Santa Fe. Many people want something special when they visit the plaza or stay at La Fonda, El Dorado, or the St. Frances hotels. Why not stroll through the streets of Santa Fe from the plaza and discover its' hidden charms? Or take a 2 minutes drive down Guadalupe Street to Paseo de Peralta near the Rosario chapel and discover a restaurant that is a family affair? The head chef and baker, Philippe Ligier always delivers only the best food. I must admit a few years ago this restaurant was one of my coveted secrets. It was so good I avoided telling anyone except my closest confidants. I wanted to keep it the same and enjoy it for myself. My plan failed. The New Mexican "Reporter" runs a yearly "best of" restaurants in Santa Fe and not surprisingly Clafoutis won 2 years in a row. This year they won 1st place "Best French Restaurant" And "Best dessert" With my secret out I'm compelled to say "Don't miss out" on this great restaurant.

Arroyo Hondo Neighborhoods of Santa Fe Harry's Roadhouse

Harry's Roadhouse near Arroyo Hondo, Seton village, Route 66, and Old Las Vegas trail has food that is northern New Mexico style with specials weekly. The food is inspired and interesting. Home cooked style meals are comforting and very good. Breakfast is one of the best kept secrets for us early risers. 7am and you can sit down diner style and eat well and quick in the "diner" tradition yet it quality is of a 5 star restaurant at an excellent price. Locals know this is the best stop between Eldorado & Lamy areas and the plaza. It's so good that people sometimes line up and wait patiently for an unforgettable meal. Whenever I have guest in town, which is frequently, I place Harry's at the top of the list.
