Welcome to The Famous Plaza Cafe!
This restaurant on the beautiful and historic Santa Fe Plaza fits right in, as it’s Santa Fe’s oldest restaurant.
Though The Plaza Cafe has been in business since 1905, the current owner has been in charge since 1947.
Dan Razatos is a Greek immigrant who had a dream to run an incredible business. After taking ownership of The Plaza Cafe, he married a local woman and they had six children together. Ever since the Razatos family has been feeding New Mexicans and their children have helped make the restaurant the success it is today.
While keeping the traditional New Mexican fare that the original restaurant had, the family also added in Greek favorites like gyros and chicken fried steak.
There’s no other restaurant in which you can get blue corn green chile enchiladas, sopaipillas, and a big bowl of mashed potatoes or a Greek salad all under one roof.
Plaza Cafe also has a classic diner you can sit at, and serves up a delicious classic breakfast. Whether you want a simple cup of coffee, flufly pancakes, or anything in between, you’ll find it here and made to perfection with an incredible atmosphere to enjoy it in.
This historic restaurant is a vital part of Santa Fe Plaza, and truly a dining experience you won’t ever forget. Stop in and make yourself at home!
