    The Front Porch

    117 LA PLAZA
    PALM SPRINGS

    This charmingly intimate café (an offshoot of the popular Farm restaurant next door) offers such deliciously inventive fresh fare as Cauliflower Ceviche, Tomato Tartar, and Watermelon Gazpacho. My favorite dish is the Hand-Carved Turkey Sandwich topped with avocado, provolone, basil pesto, and caper aioli, while my mom prefers the Beef Carpaccio, offered with watercress, frisée, and pecorino Romano cheese. The hand-crafted cocktails are also a must!

  • Lulu California Bistro

    Lulu California Bistro

    200 SOUTH PALM CANYON DRIVE
    PALM SPRINGS

    One of the desert’s most happening brunch spots, Lulu offers an extensive menu, stellar food, and a bustling ambiance. The Wild Mushroom Soup is a personal favorite (even in the dead of summer!), but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. From sandwiches to pasta to burgers to fresh fish, there’s something for everyone at Lulu.
