The 17 Best Restaurants In Carmel - Carmel - The Infatuation

"Days around Carmel can be action-packed—hiking the coast, hitting the beach, and road-tripping to Big Sur. In between it all, grab a quick meal at Carmel Belle. This always-busy, counter-service cafe is perfect for a morning fuel-up with breakfast sandwiches, yogurt and granola, or more substantial options like a mushroom melt topped with poached eggs and truffle oil. The space is big and bustling, with plenty of tables and a lounge area with couches surrounding a fireplace. If you come later in the day, you can fulfill your daily vegetable quota with towering salads, protein-loaded grain bowls, and full-fledged entrées like grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and vegetables." - allison green, clara hogan
