State Capital Kitchen

Santa Fe


Small plates and seasonal cuisine make this gourmet destination something of an anomaly in Santa Fe. You won't find much chile on the menu – instead expect creations along the lines of seared scallops with foie gras, suckling pig wontons or cassoulet with rabbit sausage. Excellent wine list.
