Bobcat Bite
Bobcat Bite is an iconic restaurant located in Santa Fe, New Mexico on Old Las Vegas Highway, a mile or so from the historic Old Santa Fe Trail, and only nine miles from the Santa Fe Plaza. The Bobcat Bite building was originally a trading post, and the 98 acres surrounding the restaurant were part of a working quarter horse ranch. Three other houses remain on the acreage along with the recently renovated and reimagined restaurant building, situated in the picturesque foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
The name Bobcat Bite refers to accounts of bobcats coming down from the nearby hills to visit "bobcat friendly" diners who would serve the animals fresh scraps on a boulder that had a natural bowl shape in it.
