Must Eats in Carmel-By-The-Sea & Monterey Bay | Best Restaurants Food Guide 

I literally just made a map of all your rec's. Bucket List eats by Jimmy & Babs!!!

Thanks for the suggestions! We watched your video last month to get an idea since we had a trip planned to Carmel-By-The-Sea. We just went last week. On your recommendation, we tried Alto which we enjoyed. I got the chocolate croissant, my husband got the fruit strudel.Yummmmy! I am laughing as I re-watch in order to comment my thanks, as I realised we sat at the same table. We also tried La Bicyclette. I am going to venture to say- it was the best restaurant I have ever enjoyed. And it was the experience as much as the food. And I have been to Paris and most other major cities. Now. It may have been the ambiance or the fact that it was lovely to enjoy with my husband- but wow. So good. You are right, the gnocchi was incredible. I had the Jardin de Printemps. Whilst the fish was a tad overcooked- didn't matter- once you put it in the sauce it was outstanding. Every restaurant isn't going to cook things 100% perfectly all the time, so I am understanding of it. Plus, did I mention the sauce?? :D Something we thoroughly enjoyed that was not on your list was Carmel Bakery in Carmel By The Sea on Ocean near the mall. Oh my gosh. Now, I am normally keto-ish (except on vacation) and a small person- but I could have easily eaten like 4 of their pastries all by myself. And their coffee was just fantastic as well as the ambiance of the place. Delightful. You are sitting so close to others that it's nice to have a conversation with strangers, which we adore. Anyway- sorry for the book- thanks for your excellent insight and suggestions!

I live here and every place you went is a regular stop for me ! Good judgment in your picks
