Chef Olea creates sophisticated flavors using Old Mexico’s indigenous and culinary traditions alongside ingredients from around the world.

Many mole recipes contain more than thirty ingredients and some recipes have five varieties of chile alone. Chef Olea is delighted to share his moles that include his "New Mexican Mole" that he created to commemorate Santa Fe’s 400 year anniversary in 2009. Awarded the prestigious AAA 4 Diamond Award and ranked fourth in the country for fine dining by Trip Advisor, Chef Olea is honored to have won the 2022 james Beard Award, Best Chef: Southwest.

    We were 4-3 who ate meat and fish and one vegan. Chef prepared all meals with great flavor and presentation. The vegan meal was off the charts and so very appreciated. The wait staff are amazing-so caring. One of top restaurants in town for fine dining-and for the vegan, the top.

    Beef and Leaf for lunch is always spot on. We had a Vegan with us, and the owner was kind enough to make some substitutions for the prix fixe lunch. Lane is always attentive and kind. This is a gem of a restaurant especially when looking for a cozy, quieter place to eat and chat.
