Palm Springs

Spencer’s Restaurant

Spencer’s brunch menu boasts six different Benedicts and specials such as banana-stuffed French toast. 

Desert Hot Springs

Delicias Mexican Cuisine

Favorites on the menu include tres leches French toast, shrimp tacos with tamarind chipotle salsa, and pambazos. 

Cathedral City

Brunch 101

The restaurant’s name is a tad misleading, because you’ll find more than “brunch 101” basics, including biscuits-and-gravy sliders, vegan almond pancakes, and ahi nachos. 

Rancho Mirage

Si Bon

The Belgian bistro’s name translates to “so good,” and brunchtime delivers with mango-stuffed Belgian waffles, croque monsieur on gluten-free bread, and Oregon sand dabs.

Palm Desert

Wilma & Frieda

Named after the owner’s two grandmothers, the café, which also has a Palm Springs location, serves “comfort food with a twist.” Think churro waffles, meatloaf-and-cheddar melts, or soy chorizo chilaquiles. 

Indian Wells (Tied)

Grapefruit Basil

The tropical-inspired eatery at Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa tempts with island bites, including brioche bananas Foster French toast and halibut tacos. 

Kestrel: A Richard Blais Kitchen + Lounge

Top Chef alum Richard Blais brings his “Left Coast” cooking to Indian Wells Golf Resort with tasty options that satisfy whether you’re fresh off the course or just wanting to take in the view. 

The Pink Cabana

Marvel at Martyn Lawrence Bullard’s décor in the Mediterranean eatery at Sands Hotel & Spa as you graze on fritto misto or a strawberry, avocado, or salmon tartine. 

La Quinta

Chúla Artisan Eatery

Katherine Gonzalez’s farm-to-table modern Mexican spot specializes in elevated options like esquites, tamale bowls, and vegan pancakes. 

Indio

POM

At this casual restaurant at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, brunch classics get unexpected touches: steak and eggs glazed with gochujang, or deviled eggs dotted with candied bacon. 

Coachella

Seven Feathers (formerly Café 54)

The recently refreshed restaurant at Augustine Casino serves a variety of morning and afternoon palate-pleasers, from cinnamon French toast to fish tacos.
