Food scene
Getting into the Palm Springs vibe starts here, modern art deco hot spot a must see, by sitting at the bar, dinning in or outdoor seating with mountian views. The many traditional generous portions will delight! My favorite, the best gluten free chocolate cake in Palm Springs.

Hand prepared Farm fresh foods taste of South France. French cottage ambiance and patio’s garden setting is refreshing. Hands down best breakfast/brunch in Palm Springs. Favorites are: Brioche French Toast “A la Banane” it’s good for desert too! Loaded “Bloody Mary” with a spicy kick, Pear “Brie Sandwich,” mouthwatering “Chicken Waffle.”

Starbucks is 5 minutes to your favorite brew. Enjoy the pick up window at El Matador Mexican Restaurant original owners enchiladas recipe, albondigas soup, burritos, soft tacos lingua, El Pastor, it’s all good. Including the best Margarita in town!!
How about checking out what the local’s say, it’s “The Best Sushi” and lives up to it’s name! Complementary miso soup and it’s just around the corner!
