Restaurants with excellent outdoor Patios
You can walk here, which is nice if you are getting margaritas. Food is fantastic. Large patio. Go early, before they open, for best seating and less waiting. You can go inside and get on the wait list even before they open.

If you want an excellent steak, this is your go-to place. Their rib-eye was possibly the best steak I have ever had; which says a lot being we are from Texas! If you can forgo a baked potato, their au gratin potatoes are to die for. It is a pricier, more upscale restaurant, but totally worth it especially for a special occasion.

This is our favorite place to go on Canyon Rd. They have live patio music Wed-Sat from 11-3 pm. Their sangrias are to die for and we love their gyros and guacamole toast. They have Mediterranean food, as well as New Mexican food. The owners are such a nice couple who are there most days.

Such a beautiful patio, and excellent food. Go during an off-peak time, as it can get quite crowded!

Getting around
Best ways to get around Santa Fe
We ride our bikes almost everywhere in Santa Fe. It is a very bike-friendly town. To rent bikes, visit the nearby Bike-n-Sport on Cordova. It is a quick walk from the condo. We have provided a bike lock, for you to borrow, in the long desk drawer. It is set to the password.
