As the first bishop of Santa Fe, Lamy faced the prolific challenge of reestablishing a congruent Catholic church while facing religious corruption and the desolation and loneliness of living in a strange and unforgiving land. It&#8217;s no wonder he had a secluded retreat built for him in the colorful foothills of the Sangre De Cristo mountains. That exquisite hideaway has become one of America&#8217;s best retreats with exceptional accommodations, unlimited recreational opportunities and now, the finest in dining. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">In the spring of 2002, the Bishop&#8217;s Lodge Resort and spa launched a new concept restaurant called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bishopslodge.com\/dining.cfm\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Las Fuentes<\/span><\/a> (The Fountains), so named because of the lush green oasis watered by the Spa&#8217;s own water recycling plant. On Sundays, Las Fuentes features a lavish brunch buffet which perennially garners &#8220;the best in Santa Fe&#8221; recognition. To say it&#8217;s one of the very best brunch buffets we&#8217;ve had in New Mexico is a vast understatement. For just shy of $40 per person,\u00a0 not including\u00a0 tip, you can engorge yourself on among the best brunches you can find anywhere. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 444px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 444px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 444\/333;border: 4px solid black; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/nm\/finedining\/Images\/BishopsLodge04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"444\" height=\"333\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">One of two buffet stations. This one includes an omelet and egg table.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">It&#8217;s a Bacchanalian feast, an indulgence in the type of excess you dare not allow yourself too often&#8211;even if you could afford it&#8211;for fear of caloric over-achievement.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a bounteous buffet the type of which is a complete antithesis of the eating Olympics E.B. White described in his 1952 classic <em>Charlotte&#8217;s Web<\/em> when he wrote about Templeton the rat&#8217;s scavenging at the fair.\u00a0 It&#8217;s on par with the very best of buffets in Las Vegas which, contrary to stereotype, are no longer the\u00a0 all-you-can-choke-down fests of cheap chow yore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">The featured fare is Continental (French, Spanish, New Mexican, Native American) American cuisine at its finest, at least thirty different items showcased decorously in stainless steel vessels that are both attractive and utilitarian.\u00a0 Two elegant dining rooms with western appointments make diners feel instantly at home where they&#8217;re surrounded by authentic Navajo rugs and commissioned murals by early Santa Fe artist W. E. Rollins.\u00a0 Dulcet musical stylings provide a soothing tone by which to enjoy your meal.\u00a0 The buffet stations occupy two elongated rooms, both thematically laid out and a joy to navigate.\u00a0 In the nearly seven years (2004-2011)\u00a0 between visits, the buffet was actually scaled down, emphasizing high quality over sheer volume.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 444px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 444px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 444\/346;border: 4px solid black; margin: 3px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/nm\/finedining\/Images\/BishopsLodge05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"444\" height=\"346\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Clockwise from top: corn on the cob, Virginia ham with pineapple glaze, oysters, candied walnuts and assorted cheeses<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">Seafood items include snow crab legs, oysters on the half-shell, shrimp and a fish entree.\u00a0 During our most recent visit, the\u00a0 carving table featured Virginia ham served with a pineapple glaze.\u00a0 An expert carver will fill your plate if you wish.\u00a0 Salads of both the legume and vegetable variety as well as macaroni fare are plentiful. Turophiliacs (those obsessed with cheese) will find a wide variety of high quality cheeses: creamy mozzarella, mild Swiss, sharp Cheddar, bold goat cheese and more, all of which go well with the dried fruits and candied walnuts.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">An omelet and egg station with made-to-order service is made to please.\u00a0 Adventurous diners might want to try a &#8220;<a title=\"Chuck's Restaurant in Placerville, California\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/?p=8592\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hangtown Fry<\/a>,&#8221; essentially an omelet made with bacon and oysters, a weird barnyard meets seafood combination made exceedingly well in California.\u00a0 The brunch bunch will appreciate the oversized sausage and crisp bacon, the type of which only restaurants seem able to find.\u00a0 Hashed browns topped with melted cheese, eggs Benedict, smoked salmon and enchiladas are among the best reasons for waking up in the morning and Las Fuentes prepares them all well.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 444px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 444px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 444\/333;border: 4px solid black; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/nm\/finedining\/Images\/BishopsLodge06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"444\" height=\"333\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Clockwise from top: Virginia ham with pineapple glaze, smoked salmon, blue corn enchiladas with red and green chile; hashed browns, sausage, eggs Benedict<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">The dessert table alone is almost worth the cost of the brunch. It&#8217;s both a chocolohic&#8217;s paradise and an Adkin&#8217;s dieter&#8217;s nightmare with moist, rich and sinfully rich indulgences.\u00a0 The tiramisu is terrific, never mind that the great Daniela\u00a0 Bouneaou at <a title=\"Torinos @ Home\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/?p=6377\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Torinos @ Home<\/a> might not find it entirely authentic \u00a0 An apple pie cheesecake topped with caramel is a sweet piece of heaven, but my very favorite dessert is\u00a0the bread pudding which is one of New Mexico&#8217;s very best. For the more health conscious, baskets of succulent, juicy fruits are available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">To wash it all down, champagne and mimosas are complementary after the noon hour (courtesy of a New Mexico state law that prohibits the sale of alcohol any earlier on Sundays).\u00a0 Gone is the fresh-squeezed tangerine juice with which we fell in love during previous visits, but you can hardly call the orange juice a consolation prize.\u00a0 The coffee is superb, a rich blend with a fragrant aroma.\u00a0 Service is attentive without being intrusive.\u00a0 Even the chef will come out to check up on you.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 444px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 444px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 444\/355;border: 4px solid black; margin: 3px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/nm\/finedining\/Images\/BishopsLodge07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"444\" height=\"355\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Apple pie cheesecake with caramel topping and tiramisu<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">Las Fuentes is one of Santa Fe&#8217;s premier restaurants for more than just brunch, but it&#8217;s at brunch that it seems to shine brightest&#8230;or could that be the sun&#8217;s rays on a summer morning while partaking of the city&#8217;s best brunch from the spacious patio.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #cc0000;\">Las Fuentes at The Bishop&#8217;s Lodge<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong>North Bishop&#8217;s Lodge Road<br \/>\n<strong>Santa Fe, NM<\/strong><br \/>\n983-6377<br \/>\n<a title=\"Las Fuentes\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bishopslodge.com\/dining\/dining.cfm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Web Site<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>LATEST VISIT<\/strong>: 6 March 2011<br \/>\n<strong># OF VISITS<\/strong>: 3<br \/>\n<strong>RATING<\/strong>: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Excellent<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u2013 High quality dining experience; very good to excellent food, attentive service, and a well-maintained atmosphere; worth a detour.<br \/>\n<strong>COST<\/strong>: $$$<br \/>\n<strong>BEST BET<\/strong>: Sunday Brunch Buffet<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1927, Willa Cather penned one of the very best novels ever written about New Mexico in Death Comes For the Archbishop, an American literary classic based on the the vicissitudes of Archbishop Jean Baptiste Lamy.
