Within the 1 square mile that is Carmel-by-the-Sea lies a gastronome’s paradise.
A tour we think you'll love
Situated in the middle of nature’s kitchen, with the sea on one side and Salinas Valley produce to the east, encircled by a rapidly expanding wine region atop the Santa Lucia highlands, Carmel is quickly becoming a national farm-to-table phenom, drawing exciting new chefs to more than 150 restaurants. No less than six major gourmet food festivals draw thousands of culinary tourists to the area each year.
Which all can make for a difficult decision: Where should you go to eat?
