Greater Palm Springs Restaurant Week returns from June 1 – 17 for 17 days of delicious dining deals throughout the oasis. Of course, every single meal on the list is a deal when compared to what the three-course prix fixe menus would cost a la carte. But with some restaurants offering lunch, special cocktails, wine pairings or meal enhancements, the bang for your buck can really make for a special event.
Let’s take a look at where to sit down to some of the top menu add-ons during Greater Palm Springs Restaurant Week. Tax and gratuity are not included in per person prices, and reservations are recommended, especially on weekends.
533 Viet Fusion
If you haven’t tried Vietnamese cuisine, this your chance! In addition to the $29 menu, Chef Chad Gardner offers an additional upgrade in the appetizer course (Viet ahi nachos, $6); or entrée ramen dishes, red curry coconut broth with chile’d tiger shrimp ($8) or chile braised osso bucco ($12).
Citrus and Palm at Indian Wells Miramonte Resort and Spa
The Miramonte is known for its grounds-to-table cuisine, using fruit from trees, along with herbs and veggies planted around the property. Here, both the $20 lunch and $39 dinner menus include a glass of wine. Lunch entrees include a Mangalista pork steak and grass-fed burger, with dinner offering a petit filet instead of the burger.
DOMO Sushi
Not only a great price of $49, but there are pairings suggestions of wines for the appetizer course, sakes to accompany your entrée and Gekkeikan Plum wine to go with dessert.
