Palm Springs Restaurants
My favorite restaurant in Palm Springs? Well, I happen to like all of the selections below, but I always return to Zin American Bistro.
Zin American Bistro
Right downtown on 198 South Canyon Drive is a very good restuarant with a fine wine list, usually featuring a "zin of the week". Attuned to the Palm Springs community, Zin American Bistro features a Follies Rush Prix Fixe Menu served early so you can get to the show, plus brunch and special occcasion menus. There's an award winning wine list (last time we visited all wines on the list were half price, so we snagged a great Morgan Pinot Noir for $27. Zin offers a great mix of Belgian/American cuisine. We often get the Belgian "frites" as an appetizer; they come with three great dipping sauces. You can get ketchup, but I still can't understand why anyone wants sugared tomates with their fries. Try it the Belgian way. You'll never go back and it won't rot your teeth.

Zini Café Med
Zin has spawned Zini. That's a good thing. Zini might be called a tapas restaurant, where small plates rule. This means you can get a very tasty and very light meal, which is a good thing, especially if you have breakfasted at our next selection, Shermans, where quantity rules.

Shermans Deli and Bakery
Shermans was 2009 Restaurant of the year in Palm Springs. The Kosher-Style restaurant offers great mounds of food, breakfast through dinner. Wonderful quality stuff, except for the absolutely insipid bagels. You'll enjoy eating on the outside patio. Friendly staff. Special on earlybird dinners in the off season, 4pm to 7pm (July thru Oct.).
