Just a short walk from the inn we were staying, the place was fantastic. Food was excellent and came out reasonably quick. The service was fantastic, our waitress constantly checking in to make sure we were okay and taken care of. We had the garlic break, steak, some pasta and a couple of small pizzas. They had a couple vegan and gluten free options, the steak was perfect for someone with lactose intolerance. They are dog friendly and you can bring you pup with you!!

This one is for all the burger bougies out there. After you've shopped for that Gucci belt buckle and got Carbon fitted for the central coast lifestyle, you can drop the pretension and get a proper burger at Camel Burger Bar. There are grass-fed beef, bison, and wagyu options lavishly outfitted with some Carmel appropriate toppings. I tucked in for a roasted poblano with brie and pickled red onions and found it to be everything I need from a burger. Gluten-free folks, beware the French fries are not gluten-free, which is always the silliest mistake restaurants make. The good news is, the sweet potato fries are, and they are tasty. Once you've finished being a spectacle for the nearby wine tasters wishing they could trade their vanity for a bite, you can confidently climb back into your G-wagon on 22s, or more likely your space grey Tesla and drive away feeling like a Carmel rock star. Anyone can get steamed carrots and salmon, or pasta carbonara, but how many leave Carmel after taking down a $20 Grilled Cheese Burger?

Great little Vietnamese restaurant serving up fresh and tasty meals. The flavours are not like those traditionally found in Vietnam, however by North American standards it's pretty good Think - more fake hot or sweet sauces and overpowering sauces, understandably preferenced in this part of the world. FOOD: Overall good - the pho was absolutely delish as were a few of the stir fry's. The chicken stir fry was gluten free which was a nice treat. They have a number of vegan and vegetarian options too. STAFF: Friendly, helpful with dietary requirement recommendations and efficient. ACCESSIBILITY: All on the same level, wheelchair, pram and walker friendly, with toilets located at street level around the corner. OVERALL: Would recommend and we've been back a few times.
