Post No Bills Craft Beer House Bar • $$
3744 The Barnyard, Carmel-By-The-Sea

“I love the new location in the Barnyard. The Caesar salad is to die for. They also have trivia night and beers for sale to go. I love the owner Khai. He used to work at Bottoms Up before owning Post No Bills and so he is very knowledgeable about craft beer and also how beers are brewed. He also does a lot of beer research on new and upcoming beers and brewing companies that he can bring into his establishment. I also heard soon there will be a kareoke host to have kareoke at new location!“

“We enjoyed the new interior atmosphere of The Covey. It's softer, warmer and more inviting. Our party of four enjoyed beet and Caesar salads, pastas and the classic hamburger. Our waiter was terrific- he treated us with the professional familiarity appreciated in a club (we are Quail members).“

“We have heard about this place but never tried it. It's tucked away around the side of Carmel Mission Inn but there is lots of parking and its entry is very accessible once you find it! We arrived early on a Friday so it was pretty quiet at first but got busy as happy hour wore on. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable and gave us excellent dinner suggestions. We came in for the burger so ultimately that's what we had. Definitely the best burger patty I've had in awhile! We'll be back and can update the photos.“

“After learning Le Bicylette had a 1.5 hour wait on a Sunday, we peeked down the little alley way and allowed ourselves to be enticed to select an outdoor table for a delicious pizza lunch. Started with the Cesar salad (extra anchovies!) followed by the Pepe Board. The four of us then split two pizzas, the San Vito and the Diavola. Took home the last 3 slices for lunch the next day. Charming patio! Definitely worth a return.“

Bud's at La Playa Bar • $$
Camino Real &, 8th Ave, Carmel-By-The-Sea

“This hotel is aesthetically pleasing with the recent renovations. It is such a vibe that you'll love being there. The breakfast was amazing, there are coffee, mimosas, OJ, mimosas, GF muffins, potato dish, chia seed yogurt, other yogurts, fresh fruits, salsa, avocado wrapped eggs, 3 kinds of breads, butter, croissants...etc. There are to be made waffles and omelets, outside the buffet breakfast. There are two sitting area but I think if it gets packed you can move to the Garden Room. There are fireplaces lit up during the day and night for chilly areas. I couldn't believe there was a fresh fruit bowl in the lobby area. Initially I thought it was a decor; there were grapes, mandarins, oranges, and green apples. I couldn't resist and took two mandarins, I wasn't sure if I could take it. XD The con is having to ask for the WiFi information and parking. I didn't know where the parking was because it was in the back and had forgotten to ask. There's no map available for breakfast, you just follow everyone and the smell. Overall, I would definitely stay again in the future. Don't forget about the late night cookies starting at 7:30 pm-9pm. I think you can take as many as you'd like.“

“I found this amazing place by calling and speaking with the owner who was so kind and welcoming. As someone with celiac disease and a dairy allergy, eating out often leaves you one or two options on a menu. Not here. In over a decade of eating gluten and dairy free I have NEVER seen a larger GF menu. They have a gluten free fryer and so many options. Sandra, our amazing server, not only explained how things were kept and prepared safely and went over everything we could have, she made suggestions which were phenomenal. I wish I could give 6 stars for Sandra’s service alone!! Will definitely be making a trip back with some friends just for a meal here.“

Baja Style Tacos

“Best late night spot in Carmel. They have late night food and a full bar. The bartenders know their stuff and have great cocktail options. The mezcal margarita is probably the best mezcal drink I’ve had but there is a sweet and spicy note. It turns into a little dance club at night too.“
