18 brunch rooms in Santa Fe we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Santa Fe | Brunch across every city.
Brunch in Santa Fe is built on the breakfast burrito and the green chile that fills it, served everywhere from Plaza counters to trailer kitchens. Tia Sophia's downtown on West San Francisco Street lays claim to coining the term and has fed under-budget breakfasts since 1975, while Cafe Pasqual's nearby on Don Gaspar opens a communal table at 08:00 with no reservations. Out on the Eastside, Harry's Roadhouse turns weekend mornings into a patio ritual of pancakes and chile, and Counter Culture in the Baca district keeps a dog-friendly patio busy with huevos rancheros.
