Bargain bites

Feb. 17—Now's your chance to try a restaurant that may have previously seemed out of reach. Santa Fe Restaurant Week runs from Feb. 20 to March 2, and so far 31 restaurants — including Izanami, Palace Prime, The Shed, and Zacatlan — have signed up to offer a prix fixe menu for either lunch (prices range from $15-$45) or dinner ($25-$65). Reservations are recommended.

Many cuisines are represented, including French (315 Restaurant & Wine Bar), African/Caribbean fusion (Jambo Cafe), Italian (Osteria D'Assisi and Andiamo!), and southwestern (Coyote Cafe and SkyFire at Bishop's Lodge.) In addition to its Restaurant Week menu, Sazon will host an "Introduction to the Spirits of Mexico" led by manager Joey Sholdra which will feature a sampler of moles accompanied by tequilas, mezcals, and sotols. Opuntia Cafe will present an event dedicated to the history of tea and one on bourbon cocktails.
