50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Palm Desert

“I read the reviews, so I had to try it. My Veggie Sandwich was so good! It is hard to find a place that still has sprouts on the VS. ❤“

“🚨HIDDEN GEM ALERT!! 🚨
Small KR tea shop, HUGE flavors! Everything here is incredible - all the drinks are delicious, the boba is fresh and the perfect consistency, the dacquoise cookies are always fresh and taste amazing (without being overly sugary; flavors are excellent) and the ladies that work here are super sweet and kind every time I’ve been. I cannot say enough good things here!

10/10! Hands down the best boba/tea shop I’ve found in the desert, without question. I would come here every day if I lived close enough!“

“?yum!
We wanted to try a Coachella Valley favorite- the date shake.
We came across Lappert’s and decided to give them a try.
The store has a fun vibe to it. The gentleman working was very friendly and helpful. It looks like they have a very broad and creative menu, and can make just about anything that one could imagine. My husband ordered the date shake and I opted for the small cup with 2 generous scoops.
The standard cookies and cream was probably the best version I have ever had. It appears as they make all of their ice cream themselves.
For my other scoop I tried the Navels and ganach. What I really liked was that it was an orange ice cream and not a sorbet.
It tasted like one of the boxed chocolate flavors.
I would say the real winner here was the date shake. It has a very unique flavor, but not too strong. They used date ice cream and vanilla ice cream.
I would definitely recommend Lappert’s!!“

“I just tried this place last week as I am staying in Palm Springs for a month. I loved the sandwiches! I might go back today to explore more of their food, and buying some of their awesome Vegan shirts and merch!“

“The Ube Latte was so delicious and has a unique taste that can’t be duplicated.“

“A fun and quirky suds stop with friendly staff and patrons. Check out their food truck schedule. They are pooch friendly and the suds are brewed in-house. Highly recommended!!“

“Honestly drinks, service, food 10/10! every single thing we tried was phenomenal... lobster guacamole, caribian alhambres, oysters, ahi steak, and the coconut flan GOOD LORD! give this place a shot for very reasonably priced, fresh, delicious food!“

“The food is fresh and delicious. (Try the beef kabobs!) The large outdoor patio has misters and fans, and faces NE away from the afternoon sun.“

“Love the matzoh ball soup and the #5“

“Fabulous dining Lovely Bistro type“

“Literally a quaint Little Bar in the heart of Palm Desert. Great drinks and a welcoming atmosphere with a down home menu. A touch of the LA music scene is the desert. The burgers are awesome!“

“We just discovered this place and we are glad we did, amazing food and staff.“

“Go there. Eat there. The Gluten Free bread option with my meat lover's scramble was tasty and better than most bland options. Our delightful server, Jennifer, said it was from a local bakery. Sat outside and were fully shaded from the sun. Nice relaxed atmosphere and even the bathroom was a relaxing space. Good way to end our weekend before heading back home. (Bonus: there's a Comic Book shop just across the parking lot).“

“Randomly stopped in for a bite as I had a dreading 2 hour drive back home. I was hungry and cranky but as soon as I walked in, it all changed. The owner was very personable and the food was amazing, best I’ve ever had. The bread is homemade and is easily the star in the sandwich! I recommend stopping by for a bite.“

“I work as a nanny for two girls 7 and 10 and they love to go get their vanilla ice cream there. Of course the 7-year-old wants sprinkles. Please don't hesitate to go here. Good location on the corner across from whole foods on 111. The people are nice, Courteous on the ice cream is delicious. A little expensive but a treat is good. Please go“

“Great service. Yummy food. Reasonable price.“

“Amazing cafe in the heart of the desert. I have traveled all over the country and Europe for work & I can stay in the desert & America, this is a pure gem! You can’t even find this feeling in nyc Everyone is friendly and nice. An amazing place to come to people watch with an Italian spritz or glass of wine fantastic selection if you know your wine as well as a morning cup of coffee which is pure crack as all of us locals say great panini‘s and sandwiches with a home cooked feel when you need some happiness in your stomach. I need to detox before going get back on a sottovoce fix . Mindy & The owner Natalie are very kind & are always accommodating & welcoming if you can’t make it to Palm Desert stop to visit them in Palm Springs which I hear is fabulous!

“Very authentic French cuisine will be back!“

“Great place, great food and great service“

“My favorite restaurant in the Coachella Valley, they maintain a calm and friendly atmosphere even during a lunch rush, the food is all of good quality and has never disappointed me. Many locals have been coming here for years and are pleasant to nod a head at. The Eggs Benedict with spinach on a crepe (potatoes provençales on the side) is my favorite order. May God bless and preserve their business and their employees.

Vegetarian options: I“

“Edit. Omg+ been coming here any chance possible. Love all the teas. I think there is no bad one!! Berry lovers is my new fave
4 years prior review>I tried the Aurora Galaxy, and the Taro Hokkaido, and they were both delicious! The boba was a perfect consistency, and they both were amazing prices! Very polite, helpful, kind, and friendly customer service!“

“I don’t have enough wonderful words to describe our amazing experience at Flor de Jalisco!! The food is cooked to perfection, the flavors are off the chart, and the service is outstanding!! �����“

“Fishman's Market has always given me some solid quality food. It's a little small and a bit old fashioned but if it ain't broke why fix it. The fish tacos are insanely popular here. Also they have a fish and chips special after 3 on Monday - Thursday.“

“Great service should be tops on their list of reasons to come here. Tracy is the best!“

“Waldo’s is awesome!!! A group of 12 went to Waldo’s last night and had an amazing time. Every dish we ate was fabulous. Our server Barbara was amazing and so attentive. Our new favorite restaurant.“

“Found this fine establishment by accident. A great find. Was on a drive from NorCal to Phoenix & stopped in Palm Desert for the night. Will return their often!“

“Great burger and French fries“

“I love going there for the atmosphere and the food and I like. To take a friend or family when I do.

Parking: Stuff pizza is at the mall?So there's plenty of park

Kid-friendliness: We've taken my granddaughter there. I've seen other people take their kids there, so definitely friendly“

“Everything was so yummy and the service was so attentive! Great experience all around. Had a wait time but we’ll worth it.“

“Love everything about this place! The pastries are decious and freshly baked every day, the ambiance is beautiful, well lit with a great view, the staff is friendly, the customers are friendly... OH and of course the coffee and chai! My go to is either black dark roast or a dirty tiger spice (with three shots of espresso). It's fun to hang out here with wife and/or kids, or even pull out the laptop and work a bit.“

“The ambience was nothing short of magical—an elegant space with lighting and décor that made me feel like a mermaid dining under the sea. The sushi melted in my mouth, filling my palate with clean, smooth flavors; every bite felt otherworldly. The salmon sashimi was perfectly tender, paired with an exquisitely light sauce that elevated its freshness. The signature Venue Roll was truly a work of art—an array of flavors and textures coming together in a delicious symphony. Sou-Chef Yessika was absolutely lovely. I admire seeing such a talented, beautiful woman leading the craft with confidence and grace. I am not easily impressed—or perhaps I should say, my palate rarely is—but this experience was one for the books. The entire staff was warm, attentive, and made the evening all the more special. I look forward to meeting the executive Chef Engin. His staff spoke highly of his skill and ethic! Thank you for a truly unforgettable time!“

“My family and I LOVE Lappert's ice cream! The flavors are great, and it's the real deal made with actual cream, not a 'frozen dairy dessert'. They have lots of options, and the Dole Whip is so refreshing on a summer day!“

“Im surprised this place doesnt have straight 5 stars. Some of rhe reviewers on here are nitpicking and making complaints about portion size, really? I'm a 270 pound man and the Ramen is plenty. Add an appetizer and you will be surely stuffed. Are these people like wanting some ridiculous size portion to have takeout for the next day or piled high with unwanted calories of breads and fountain soda restaurants do to fill you up instead of giving you the food that you want. I wouldn't have noticed that since I just do water and no bread at restaurants and have left hungry at some.

You come here and you're getting straight up quality Ramen right away . If you're coming to a Ramen shop not getting Ramen why are you coming and why are you reviewing it, it's a freaking Ramen shop.

The place is authentic Japanese from the decor to the food to the staff and the cooks to the Japanese soda drink and the amazingly polite Japanese service you don't get at any other ethnic restaurant including American. Multiple times they asked me if I needed any thing and if I was doing OK meanwhile other places you'd be lucky if they drop by once and give you the bill before your first bite! The food came out extremely quickly given the nature of Ramen they even have a second person help put out the dishes if there's a party of four for even faster service. Extremely tentative, it's clean comfortable and yeah the little robot adds a little extra. The Ramen is absolutely excellent I haven't found a better place. And whenever I have come it's never been that busy which I just figured not too many people are into Ramen. If you love Ramen and excellent service, you'll love it here!“

“Bryan Anthony here at the Palm desert mall location I cannot believe their service was so awesome made the sandwich that me and my wife had tremendously great had no complaints the soda awesome and nice and sweet and customer service and atmosphere the food I mean these two gentlemen deserve a little recognition here for their hard work because honestly even though they were jam-packed they still make sure my food was fresh nice and hot called out our order even made our soda because I first had ordered a Dr pepper Dr pepper was the watery but changed it out with no problem even apologize so many times when you didn't have to so Charlie's restaurant give your employees a little bit of recognition right here in the Palm desert mall in Palm desert ca“

“atmosphere and food was very good. bit they didn't bring the bread or side spinach we ordered until hallfway through our entree. we had to ask for it. maybe just a little short staffed.“

“Great service … Great good“

“The food was fantastic! I had the risotto and I highly recommend it!“

“Went to a 5pm fundraiser. Clearly they let an entire restaurant in early. There was not one seat available at 5. It was already maxed out with people wolfing down appetizers and wine with not one seat open. Not Cool. Clearly the good Ole boys got the we will let you in early memo. Too much competition around El Paseo to ever go back.“

“My family and I went to Greece last year and it was amazing along with the delicious food. Koutouki Greek Estiatorio made us feel like we were right back there. The food was delicious!! Highly recommend the tzatziki and pita bread. We also loved the ribs.“

“Green tea latte with oat milk and sugar free syrup. Moon cheese 🧀 1 carb“

“I have enjoyed LQ brewery since they opened, but have not made it to this spot until now and was glad I did! Kudos to Scott because his team was firing on all cylinders, as always the beer was great but the FOOD honestly took me by surprise. Everything we ate was delicious, really seems like they put just as much effort into the food as they do the beer 🍺“

“We enjoyed 2 appetizers, Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce, and Dumplings. Chicken was nice and moist. Dumplings plump and delicious. One diner had Beef Fried Rice w/o Bean Sprouts. He gave that a 7/10. I had the Pad Thai with 2 Shrimp and Chicken. unfortunately the sauce had a fishy flavor I don't recall it having before. And, the chicken looked good but was dry. 4/10. Service excellent and very pleasant. Our bill for 2 was $60 plus tip.“

“An extremely fine French-style food and ambiance. The duck is the best I have had anywhere, and the Dover sole and many other dishes are excellent. Table-side preparation of superb desserts like crepes Suzettes and bananas Foster is also offered. Terrific souffles too. Friendly experienced owners. Valet parking available behind restaurant with elevator to restaurant on upper level.“
