Restaurants open in Santa Fe Christmas Day? (Chimayo: hotels, cost of) - New Mexico (NM) -Santa Fe County - City-Data Forum

Trying to figure out where to eat Christmas Day - are any restaurants open in Santa Fe on Christmas Day?

I'm guessing Buffalo Thunder will have something, but anywhere else?

Thanks!

Don't hotels keep their restaurants open every day? Or am I wrong about that? And I think I remember seeing something about Bishop's Lodge having a Christmas Brunch?

Most the hotels are open. Some are having special menus. Bishop's Lodge is having a buffet.

I think The Compound is going to be open.

We called around to a bunch of places before settling on one

I personally hope there are hardly ANY restaurants open in Santa Fe on Christmas Day.

People who work in restaurants should have Christmas off with their families.
