Get in the Joe ~ Every meal is a special occasion at Joseph's of Santa Fe
If I was going to take a stab at what I consider culinary art, it would be a combination of flavors that surprises you enough to become the primary topic of conversation, and if you’re down for a dinner where you can’t stop talking about the food, Joseph’s of Santa Fe is the place...The Santa Fe locale is nestled in a little downtown adobe, you can ditch the usual celebrity gossip and get really into what’s on your plate.
Joseph’s makes eating fun.
On behalf of locals with a sense of adventure and those people who come to Santa Fe looking for something different to eat, I hope Joseph’s will have a long and tasty future.
There are the people you meet and get to know, there are the people you meet but will never know, and then there are the people you meet and feel like you've known all your life. Joseph Wrede, the Joseph behind Joseph's, falls into the third category. His cooking is an extension of his good nature. Each dish is an old friend, but an old friend with a stranger's sense of adventure...Joseph's is that rare combination: a serious restaurant that refuses to take itself too seriously.
Bountiful Tasty
For adventurous foodies interested in delicious, highly original food, Joseph's new and comfortably attractive venue is a must-do.
