Señor Geronimo Lopes would be very pleased if he knew how famous his 250- year-old hacienda on Canyon Road has become. The landmark adobe is now home to a cutting-edge restaurant — elegant, contemporary — serving the highest-quality, creative food. Geronimo is considered the finest Santa Fe has to offer and ranks with the finest restaurants in the country.

Partners Eric DiStefano, Chris Harvey and Quinn Stevenson are dedicated to ensuring you the highest-quality dining experience at this cutting-edge restaurant with its award-winning cuisine. The staff at Geronimo exemplifies the art of hospitality with attentive, knowledgeable, friendly service, while the exquisite décor creates a serene and intimate setting.

Chef Eric DiStefano, who is absolutely passionate about food, stands with the top chefs of the world. From Los Angeles to New York to Paris, he has worked with all the greats. His extraordinary talent lies in his innate understanding of ingredients and an uncanny instinct about the elements of flavor. He is considered visionary in his ability to blend flavors and combine different types of food in unusual, creative ways.

Chef DiStefano calls his cuisine “Global Fusion.” The base of his sauces and technique are French, with culinary influences of Asia, the Southwest, and his own roots in Italy blended to bring taste to new levels. The wasabi sesame crab cake with Truchas caviar and beurre monte is a wonderful first course. For the main course, try the peppery elk tenderloin and apple woodsmoked bacon with roasted garlic fork-mashed potatoes, sugar snap peas, and creamy brandiedmushroom sauce.

Geronimo has consistently won major local and national awards and enjoys a strong local, national, and international clientele.
