Our breakfast stop on the morning of our departure, we went to Palacio Cafe. My sister and brother-in-law stopped here on Tuesday morning before we arrived. They enjoyed it so much, we opted to return. Gotta love the green and red chile that Santa Fe does so well!

Not that we need any more to eat after dinner, but Chez Mamou, the French bakery just down the street, was calling our name.  The Napoleon was delicious and apparently a special treat. It's not made very often, and we got the last one!  We love to try this place for dinner when we return to Santa Fe.

For our final night in Santa Fe, we enjoyed dinner outside on the Sena Plaza at La Casa Sena. We had this restaurant on our list of possible dinner options, and after we stopped here earlier in the day on our food tour, we decided we need to return. We all agreed it was fantastic!

Our wine selection	Seared Ruby Trout

Second of two happy hour stops on day 4 of Santa Fe trip took us to Secreto. Our food tour guide highly recommended it, and a best happy hours in Santa Fe list we saw online listed it as #1. The drinks were fantastic and the service was great!

Spicy Secreto // Cucumbers, lime juice, cane syrup, Novo Fogo Organic Cachaça, elderflower liqueur and a touch of spice.  First place winner in the 2010 "Shake It Up! Competition" in Las Vegas, the largest cocktail competition in the U.S.

Blackberry Caipirinha // The bartender's suggestion, and a great variation on the standard caipirinha.

Smoked Sage Margarita // Republic Anejo Tequila with 03 Brazilian Orange Liqueur, lime juice and sage smoked into the glass with a hickory smoked salt rim.

French 75 // Gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and Gruet Blanc de Noir. We learned on the food tour that Gruet is well-recognized New Mexico sparkling wine.

After our food tour and a bit of afternoon shopping, we stopped for happy hour (first of two) at the Draft Station. They had a wide variety of New Mexico craft beers on tap. It was a gorgeous day to sit out on their second floor patio overlooking the Santa Fe Plaza.

Day 4, our last full day in Santa Fe, we decided to do our food tour through Food Tour New Mexico. In hindsight, we should have done this tour on our first day, because all the food was delicious and we got tons of restaurant ideas. Nick was our guide, and he was a wealth of information. The places we visited included:

La Casa Sena // Blue Corn Muffins & Golden Beet Soup

La Boca // Basca Cava Brut & Marinated Artichoke with Goat Cheese

Santa Fe Olive Oil & Balsamic Company // Free tastings!

Luminaria // Sangria, Artisan Breads & Tortilla Soup

Kakáwa // Tzul Chocolate Elixir (we were able to sample as many as we'd like) ... amazing!

Day 3 started out with breakfast at The Patio Restaurant, the restaurant at La Posada de Santa Fe, where we were staying. The chorizo burrito was delicious and surprisingly not too heavy.

Day two in Santa, we went to El Farol for dinner, and it was fantastic.

Prickly Pear Margarita // Delicious!

Gambas al Ajillo // Obviously the picture below doesn't do it justice (forgot to take the before pic but couldn't resist the deliciously empty bowl.  The sauce was amazing!  We asked the waiter for bread so we could soak it all up!

Calamari al Estilo Asiatico // Plum sauce was good. Would have liked to have tried the fradiavolo option.

Paella de la Casa // We opted to order this entrée and still share tapas style.  Delicious!

Don't remember the names of the two desserts, but both were delicious.
