Earthbound Farm’s Farm Stand
Down the road from Earthbound Farm’s original 2.5-acre property, the Farm Stand is a great place to stop for organic sandwiches, soups, salads and frozen yogurt. Tours of the farm are available and fun for kids.
Il Tegamino
This charming spot in Carmel-by-the-Sea serves Italian comfort food from the Panzuto family kitchen. A labor of love, the restaurant was opened by two brothers in honor of their mother’s passing. The seating on the terrace is worth the wait. Closed Wednesdays.
Nepenthe
Its menu may not be breaking any ground, but Nepenthe has such spectacular ocean views of the Big Sur coast, it remains a must-visit for lunch. Be sure to visit the wonderful, whimsical boutique on your way out.
The Restaurant at Mission Ranch
Set on a sprawling property, the so-called Clint Eastwood restaurant is Carmel's most famous dining destination. The actor "saved" an old dairy farm from being bought and turned into a condo complex in 1986 and today the restaurant has a perfectly bucolic setting, with sweeping views of the Santa Lucia mountains in the distance. The often-changing menu is elevated farm-to-table. During the day and on warm nights, there's a beautiful dining patio.
