An expression of simple, honest, nurturing food and drink that nurtures both the spirit and body.Juliette is an a-cultural restaurant, focusing less on vernacular dishes of New Mexico, but on the abundance of food that is grown/raised around us at any given time. We are excited to create a restaurant that is fun but also nurturing. The restaurant is very transparent about the ingredients we use and don't use…we only use good salt, avoid seed oils, have grass-fed beef, y mas.

    Amazing experience start to finish. We had breakfast and dinner here multiple times and I can say without a doubt this is one of the best experiences at any restaurant in New Mexico due to their incredible weight staff and management team. This is the type of service and luxury five star experience that you would expect to see at The Four Seasons, but I would not expect to see in New Mexico. Absolutely outstanding the food was amazing Kevin our waiter was probably the best way I’ve ever had.

    What a joyous experience. Fantastic food. Excellent service. We ate tapas style. Generous portions, finely prepared and seasoned. I feel like we accidentally discovered a Taos gem on the way to Santa Fe. It was perfect. — Amy c.
