If you have a special occasion coming up, you might be looking for a restaurant that offers elegant dining with an equally lovely atmosphere. Your search is over because today we’re highlighting one New Mexico restaurant that just might be one of the most stunning in the state!
That designation goes to La Plazuela! Just one look at the dining area will have you daydreaming about the meals served here.
This gorgeous little restaurant is tucked away in La Fonda on the Plaza in Santa Fe, an already picture perfect spot with a hotel, shopping, and restaurants.
You’ll appreciate the little details around the dining area (and in the building in general), which we think really helps to create the lovely atmosphere here. This includes wooden furniture features intricate designs, the colorful glass panels add a touch of whimsy, and other details around the room.
You’ll find refined versions of your favorite New Mexican dishes, as well as continental dishes. Examples include a roasted green chile corn chowder served with fried leeks, several tortas options, enchiladas, and rellenos.
La Plazuela is located in La Fonda on the Plaza, at 100 East San Francisco Street in Santa Fe. You can find details about the menu, hours of operation, and reserve a table on their website or Facebook page.
