Listen to this story:

Palm Springs

Farm

Seated inside or out, the romantic garden-party ambiance at Farm makes you feel as if you’ve traded downtown Palm Springs for a quaint café in Provence. Lauded for à la carte breakfast and lunch, Farm also serves a prix-fixe dinner Friday through Tuesday nights.

Desert Hot Springs

Azure Palm Café 

More than a healthful extension of its resort and day spa, this Zen café draws diners with its tasty creativity and squeezed-to-order juice blends.

Cathedral City

Daniel’s Table

Chef and owner Daniel Villanueva befriends farmers, ranchers, and purveyors to orchestrate bold culinary adventures that uplift the seasonal harvest

Rancho Mirage

The Penney Restaurant & Bar

A glass of bubbles pairs well with revamped-vintage vibes, Californian cuisine, and delicious views at Desert Island Country Club’s smartly decorated restaurant, The Penney. Ask about the rare spirits library. 

Palm Desert

Wildest Restaurant & Bar 

Napa-style cuisine and a West Hollywood chef are a winning combination for craveable plant-forward dishes. Remember: Wine is plant-based, too. 

Indian Wells

Baby’s Marché 

Cold-cut sandwiches and warm pressed panini achieve an elevated (albeit pricey) art form thanks to chef Justin Snyder’s epicurean prowess. 

La Quinta

Kiki’s

Kiki’s and its friendly servers have dialed in the recipe for a great night out: thin-crust pizza, classic pastas, and just-one-more cocktails, all leaning on local ingredients

Indio

Heirloom Craft Kitchen

Fresh ingredients dance across the taste buds at this low-key restaurant serving wholesome burgers on brioche,  gourmet tater tots, and craft salads you’re excited to order. (Try the grilled watermelon salad with pickled red onion and chive oil.) 

Coachella

Temalpakh Farm

Treat yourself to The Hulk, a green smoothie, when you pick up an organic produce box from the Augustine Band of the Cahuilla Indians’  farm and market. Call to inquire about chef-crafted alfresco dinners on the farm.
