Luminaria Restaurant and Patio launches new Chef’s Table

Santa Fe’s award-winning Luminaria Restaurant at the iconic Inn and Spa at Loretto, A Destination Hotel, announces today that it has launched a new Chef’s Table. The eight globally inspired menu options designed by renowned Executive Chef Marc Quiñones will be offered to groups of 6-8 people at a private table near a roaring kiva fireplace on the romantic Luminaria patio. Guests will also enjoy a surprise course and a culinary gift to take home to their own kitchen.

“The Chef’s Table is a chance for me to get to know a small gathering of guests who want a multi-sensory experience in dining on one of the City Different’s most romantic patios, in one of the world’s most culturally and historically diverse places,” said Quiñones. “As a chef with a lot of energy and excitement about cooking, I like to think of my culinary creations as being in Technicolor—I use the best ingredients from the local farmers’ market and enjoy interacting with guests as they taste each carefully crafted dish.”
