Southeast corner of 5th Ave and, Dolores Street, Carmel-by-the-Sea
“The most civilized place to dine in Carmel. We are always made to feel like guests visiting a friend in their cozy dining room. As for the soufflés—delicious, a bit decadent and most enjoyable. Given that it's only lunch service, there is no reason not to get 10,000 steps on the beach post-lunch! We will be back!”

“This is our go to romantic restaurant in Carmel. The food is so good. The atmosphere is exactly what you want for fine dining. Tuan was our waiter. He was friendly calm and efficient. Don't miss the French onion soup and the rack of lamb. Liz and Dick ate here back in the day. If it's good enough for them it's good enough for us.”

“What an exceptional dining experience. The creativity of the menu was a highlight, along with the locally sourced ingredients. Throughout, the ambience and service were cozy, elegant, and charming. Chez Noir is a restaurant with a clear perspective and warm authenticity, which makes it feel profoundly special. One of my all-time favorite restaurants, and I can well understand why it has garnered such acclaim! This was the perfect spot to celebrate our 20th anni.”
