Aubergine

Contemporary, Californian · ★★ Michelin

$$$$

Easygoing luxury and refinement strike a harmonious note within L’Auberge Carmel, where every element seems designed to delight. Chef Justin Cogley balances classic technique with a sleek, modern aesthetic, and his cooking captures a sense of place that feels wholly his own. Products of spectacular quality are prepared skillfully and painstakingly presented with an artistic eye, as in a surprising "cabbage" taco filled with shallot jam, Madeira-braised treviso, Kaluga queen caviar and cabbage chips. The hits keep coming, like the rice roulade with Dungeness crab finished in a white dashi and b

Chez Noir

Contemporary, Seafood · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Jonny and Monique Black are the force behind this charming spot, where he acts as Chef and she oversees the service team. While the two have an abundance of fine dining bona fides, here they aim for something more approachable. The inviting, hospitable atmosphere makes perfect sense, given that the second floor of this Craftsman-style residence is where the pair makes their home. The cooking has a broadly Mediterranean sensibility, showcasing the bounty of the California coast with the likes of impeccably prepared abalone and skate. A prix fixe format gives diners a handful of choices, but the

This clear hit among locals has even spread to tourists—everyone comes back time and again. The owners bring hospitality to a new level, thanks to a jovial greeting and warm farewells that may involve a hug from the owner. The smell of roasting meats entices passersby with the promise of their excellent kebabs, like deliciously charred yet tender chicken skewered with tomatoes. The Aleppo kafta, combining ground beef and lamb, is richly seasoned and perfectly paired with a side of zippy tzatziki. Be sure to begin any meal with an enormous plate of their mezze, heaped with minty cucumber and to

La Bicyclette

European

$$$

La Bicyclette remains the quintessential neighborhood bistro in the heart of charming Carmel-by-the-Sea. The quirky corner space, filled with petite wooden tables, hanging copper pots and the occasional bicycle, continues to feel warmly lived-in and unmistakably local. The kitchen balances California seasonality with Mediterranean and French influences, alongside wood-fired pizzas and excellent breads from the oven. Classic bistro comforts still shine through in dishes like steak au poivre with peppercorn cognac sauce and pommes frites, while seafood offerings such as pan-seared fresh catch wi

Akaoni

Japanese, Sushi

$$$

Akaoni remains one of the region’s most rewarding sushi counters, even if securing a seat can feel like a minor triumph. With only a handful of seats, limited operating hours and a tiny staff overseeing the entire operation, the atmosphere is resolutely no frills, allowing the focus to remain squarely on the fish. A chef’s choice platter offers a reliable introduction, though regulars know to pay close attention to the daily specials board, where pristine seasonal seafood often shines brightest. Local spot prawns served directly from the tank remain a highlight, while carefully cut nigiri cons

This cheery, welcoming little spot has risen to the status of a local brunch favorite thanks to its cleverly California-inflected takes on American classics. A potato pancake served with Korean braised short ribs and kimchi is an illustrative example, as is a photogenic take on avocado toast, adorned with colorful radishes, sprouts, and local seaweed. Not to be overlooked is their lobster roll, served on a perfectly toasted, buttery brioche bun (from celebrated Ad Astra bakery) with sweet lobster meat—topped with caviar to further enhance the splurge, if desired. Dinner, served three nights a

Casanova

European, Californian

$$$

Once owned by Charlie Chaplin’s personal chef, this historic 1920s cottage is marked by a bike parked with lavender flowing from the basket. Before opening in 1987, the family remodeled the building after their Belgian farmhouse, even replicating their wine cellar, which today houses a notable collection. Its setting, just a block off Carmel’s main street, makes dining here seem all the more relaxing and charming. A private room invites 2-8 people to enjoy the chef’s prix-fixe on Vincent Van Gogh’s very own dining table. The rustic French and Italian cooking features deliciously simple dishes,

Cultura

Mexican, Californian

Cultura’s cooking is inspired by the cuisine of Mexico, with particular attention paid to the region of Oaxaca. It might not be the right place to take abuela for an authentic taste of home, but the food is very good. Tucked among shops in a courtyard away from the street, this dining room resembles a Mexican taberna, lined with deep red booths, coffered ceilings and wrought-iron accents. On fair nights, dine alfresco around the courtyard’s fire pits. Sip a seasonal cocktail, perhaps the Letters to Oaxaca with mezcal, sparkling rosé and honey, then tuck into the house-made Cultura mole with sm
