About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Restaurant Martin, just awarded "Michelin Recommends" by the first-ever Michelin Guide to the American Southwest, one of only seven recipients in the State of New Mexico, is the embodiment of a 20-year dream to create the perfect balance of refined and comfortable. Chef Martin Rios, and his wife, Jennifer, envisioned a restaurant where locals as well as visitors to Santa Fe’s would enjoy Chef Rios’ award-winning progressive American cuisine. Chef has repeatedly been honored for his innovative combinations of flavors, techniques and presentation. He is referred to as an "artist whose medium is food." His unique style emphasizes fresh, local produce and organic meats and poultry, and reflects not only Southwestern and Asian influences but also his classic training in French technique. His list of accolades includes: Finalist in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022 for the James Beard “Best Chef of the Southwest” Award Semi-finalist for the 2011-2019 James Beard “Best Chef of the Southwest” Award.

From the OpenTable editors: James Beard nominated-chef Martin Rios has spent two decades building Restaurant Martin into downtown Santa Fe's quiet powerhouse of progressive American cooking. You don’t want to miss the duck breast with pistachio dukkah and a blue corn tart. The bar pours cocktails made entirely with New Mexico-distilled spirits, and there’s an acclaimed wine list to go with it. It’s not uncommon to see Martin and his wife Jennifer on the floor, and that makes every meal here feel like you’re in their home.

Executive chef: Martin Rios

    Outstanding food - I had the Salmon entree, my wife had the Barramundi special. Both were really flavorful. Our servers were excellent. Ambience was good, certainly not too noisy. We’d certainly go back when in Santa Fe

    We have eaten at Restaurant Martin many times. This occasion was exceptionally outstanding. We followed server Edward's recommendation on food temperature preparation. Duck and salmon came out perfectly. He suggested a great bottle of wine at our price point. We weren't made to feel less than when trying to choose a good wine. Desserts were excellent. Overall a great experience.
