“When you walk in it seems like a fast food joint, but the food is more like a diner cafe and prepared fresh (though fast!) It was delicious. The French fries were hot right out of the fry basket. And perhaps the best part is the people. Everyone working there is super nice! Great service.”

2 Bougainvillea Fresh Cuisine

4.9 Superb 107 Reviews

555 S Sunrise Way Ste 108, Palm Springs · 7.96 miles

“A wonderful addition to Palm Springs. We especially love that Bougainvillea is locally owned and family-run, which gives the restaurant a warm, personal feel. The menu is creative and interesting, with a terrific blend of Italian, Mexican, and Latin influences. We started with the calamari, which was outstanding—unique, beautifully flavored, and unlike any version we’ve had before. My husband had the white Bolognese, and I had the al pastor pork chop. Both dishes were excellent and packed with flavor. The service was perfect. From start to finish, everything was beautifully prepared and thoroughly enjoyable. It’s exciting to have such a great new restaurant here in Palm Springs. We will absolutely be back.”

“Excellent dining experience. The team working here are attentive and wonderful. The summer menu specials are so good! I had the strawberry salad, chicken cordon blue, and cheesecake. All were perfect. Nice atmosphere where there is a more casual bar side and little more upscale regular dining side. Looking forward to going back again soon.”

“It's a beautiful place, and our server, Selena is fabulous - very attentive and made us feel very welcome, with just the right mix of professionalism, efficiency and humor. The food was just OK - nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about either. I was with 5 friends, and we had a fun time.”

“The only McDonald's with an Indoor Playground, perfect for this hot weather and he eats his favorite breakfast with his grandpa. Just wished they could keep it cooler but it doesn't bother him. He's more than happy to be there eating his favorite fries”
