Juliette
WINNER

At the heart of Hotel Willa is Juliette, a restaurant that celebrates the vibrant flavors and culinary traditions of Northern New Mexico. Bringing together the expertise of Taos Pueblo-born chef Johnny Ortiz-Concha and the artistic vision of Maida Branch, Juliette offers seasonal, land-driven menus that honor heritage ingredients, from regional chile and mountain herbs to heirloom beans and corn. Led by Executive Chef Noah Pettus, the kitchen translates this philosophy into thoughtfully crafted dishes that reflect the region’s agricultural legacy and Indigenous foodways. The dining experience extends beyond the plate, with locally sourced ingredients from the hotel’s edible garden, whole-animal butchery, and service on ceramics by Taos-based artisans. Juliette delivers a deeply rooted, culturally immersive experience where ancestral traditions, seasonal ingredients, and local artistry coalesce.
