The Restaurant at the end of the trail
La Plazuela Review
Where can you dine on sophisticated fare at
surprisingly reasonable prices in the most beautiful
Santa Fe style? If you guessed La Plazuela at La Fonda,
you've been there since the recent renovation.
Architect Barbara Felix, who studied the drawings of
John Gaw Meem (responsible for the hotel's remodel
in the I920s), resurrected the central fountain,
refashioned the leaking atrium ceiling, and opened the
French doors to create a sidewalk-cafe atmosphere.
The result is brighter and airier than before, but the
charm of the original courtyard remains.

Colter's Ghost
La Plazuela Review
Warner's
roasted pork loin... comes with a perfectly textured cheddar cheese
polenta-it will slice or crumble
depending on how you wield your
fork-and a classic tomatillo salsa.
The roast itself is moist and flavorful
enough not to need the mango-jalapeno
glaze, but the addition provides
a welcome duet that makes the whole
richer than the sum of its parts.

early records suggest that there has been an inn or fonda on this corner for over four
hundred years, since the founding of Santa Fe in 1610.

Four Hundred Years of Hospitality, and Still Going…
Santa Fe – When Santa Fe was founded in 1607, official records show a fonda, or inn, was among the first business established.
