The Pink Adobe restaurant stands proudly in the heart of Santa Fe’s historic Barrio De Analco neighborhood, which is considered the oldest neighborhood in the US. It sits across from the San Miguel Mission, the oldest church in the United States. Founded in 1944 by Rosalea Murphy, an artist and social connector, the restaurant takes its name from the rose-colored adobe plastering on the nearly 400-year-old hacienda that serves as its home. From its humble beginnings serving ‘Dobe Burgers, French onion soup, and hot apple pies, The Pink Adobe has evolved into the iconic establishment it is today.
As the historic plaque out front states: “For over 70 years The Pink Adobe has served as host to Presidents, local politicos, world-famous artists, actors, musicians, and some of the most interesting characters known to Santa Fe.”
