Palm Springs has worked relentlessly during the recent past to upgrade its environs from the image it had acquired of a spring break destination for carefree and rather exhibitionist students. Its original role as a resort for those who seek high standards of life in retirement has now expanded to attract younger people of substance who wish to invest in exclusive vacation homes. It actively works to build a consistent brand as one of the most desirable resorts in the world, and has dining to go with the sublime pleasures of golf and elegant lazing in the sun.
Most people would vote for the Europa as amongst the very best restaurants in Palm Springs. Seating in the patio is as inviting in the generally fine weather of all California as are the candle-lit indoors. Salmon baked in parchment and served with unusual herbs and sauce, is an example of the riveting entrance each dish on the menu can make. Needless to say, the service is attentive but never intrudes and contributes its own value to the offer of the setting and the fare. Desserts are appropriately designed to act as hooks on a diner¡¯s memory. They invade the mind with an irresistible urge to return to this eclectic fusion of Continental and Californian cuisine at the earliest possible opportunity.
Simplicity and authenticity are the twin magnets of Mykonos¡¯s hypnotic attraction. Set in a courtyard out of sight of boring boulevards, with the simplest of linen and run by a small and loving family, the restaurant transports you over the myriad miles to Greece in a flash. The house wine, stuffed grape leaves, mousaaka, feta and baklava celebrate a civilization that stands unruffled amidst the hustle of our times.
Nothing in Palm Springs is pass¨¦ or simple! Drop in at Sherman¡¯s Deli for a sandwich and you will fall for an aromatic soup and elegant iced tea as accompaniments. The bagel¡¯s incredible dimensions, endless fillings and accompanying sea of salad, will tolerate neither weakling jaws nor pansy appetite and your doctor will surely frown if he or she were to see the shameless hussy of a pastry that any guest of the bar is yet to resist!
This piece is about dining in an oasis in the Californian desert, so let us not run the sacrilegious risk of ignoring magnificent Mexico next door! Las Casuelas Terraza serves portions of nachos and other favorites in elephantine proportions. Misters keep you cool in the patio even when it is warm, though pulsating music may well draw you inside. Each Margarita born here has punch to daze an entire football team. Go nowhere near a steering wheel for days should you venture to down all of even one on your own!
Visit Edgardo¡¯s for a culinary education in Aztec and related civilizations south of the border, all the way to the Antarctic and many eons in time. Shoot tequila through your brain on entrance and surrender to a haze of fiery quesadillas with a magical procession of herbal salads, succulent meat and sensual desserts.
The Ichiban Steak House is very Japanese in character. All you need to do is to choose an entree and the restaurant adds on an appetizer, soup, salad and dessert! Tempura and all other variations of food from the Land of the Rising Sun are instantly placed before you, almost as soon as you express a wish. The service is as precise and polite as one familiar with Japan would expect.
Lyons Grille is a fascinating recreation of 19th century England. Costumed servers bring repasts fit for royalty to your table as you feast your eyes on exquisite coats of arms with deep mugs full of ale. A guest from the Island can have a nostalgic meal of steak and kidney pie and custard to follow.
St. James at the Vineyard is the best choice for a group that wants a uniformly high quality meal with many regional wants and needs. The owner has assembled a menu featuring jewels from all over the world of food, with Indian curries juxtaposed next to New Zealand Mussels. The wine collection is full of rare gems from the best vineyards and the restaurant decor is full of carefully chosen artifacts, each one of which has a long history and is a major conversation piece.
The rest of the world has its undeniable attractions but let us never forget Palm Spring¡¯s allegiance. Fly the Star Spangled at Simba¡¯s with ribs to match the best in the land, hush puppies, corn bread, and a pie close to what your mom bakes and everything else that makes American food the treasure that it is.
