Modern European Restaurants near Carmel By The Sea, CA

“Beyond amazing. Service ambience and food was impeccable“

“This place is really cute! We ate at an outdoor table with our dog and it had such a cozy feel, like a little cabin! The fire at the table kept us warm and we decided to do the fondue sample menu. We loved the cheese fondue, nothing was left in the pot. The meat was really good too. My husband is French and we’re used to meat fondue cooked in oil, but this was a nice change. We actually preferred the broth it was served with over oil. It was much tastier! Of course we enjoyed the chocolate also. Overall, a great meal that we truly enjoyed! Super cute ambiance and we will definitely come back when we come back to Carmel!“

“Amazing food with even more amazing service. Highly recommend for your special night out!“

“Lovely setting, excellent service, food was delicious and best coffee I’ve ever tasted! I know you use Lavazza but how do you make it?? When we make it to Carmel again we’ll definitely come back!“

“Oh my goodness, this is THE place! So happy we found it and ventured in! Will always remember out fantastic hosts Sue and Bill, and their lovely establishment. It is so much MORE than a restaurant, it is a place like home: warm, loving, caring and delicious!“

“An unassuming European bistro with beautifully-done dishes that will leave your senses delighted and your belly happy! Every dish that we had was delicious — escargot, FOS, lasagna (special,) gnocchi, profiteroles (special,) and Pistachio cake — and we couldn’t stop raving about the lovely, airy texture of the handmade Italian gnocchi and the deep richness of each of the dishes that we tried. A favorite now in the area, that every local should try! The owners, Frederico and Sabrina were such gracious and beautiful hosts, and they made us, and every guest in the restaurant, feel as if we were treasured family coming together for a meal. A must-eat-at establishment!“
