• French • Carmel
Reservations accepted for dinner only.Fifty eight years ago, Elaine and Pierre Boissiere established their eponymous restaurant at its current location, years before Carmel Plaza shopping center was built around it. They sought to offer the city of Carmel-by-the-Sea a relaxing and comforting venue modeled after a European chateau where tables are thoughtfully spaced and fresh flowers, fireplace, candles and soothing musical notes are integral part of the dining experience. The ambience sets the tone for French country food served with a great deal of care for detail and pastries baked daily on premises. It is a testament to their far sightedness that Patisserie Boissiere Restaurant continues to fulfill their vision to this day.

    Excellent meal with outstanding service. Much more interesting than what would be typical in a Mexican restaurant. Portions were generous with plenty to take home. Carlos, our server, guided us wonderfully to the specials of the day and we were very glad he did. We also were visited by the chef, Andres, so it shows how much quality he puts in his meals. Been there twice and I’ll certainly go again

    We have been coming to Carmel, and eating at Anton & Michel for over 20 years. We have always enjoyed it, and our dinner this time was no different. This is a wonderful, and very special, restaurant. The food is excellent, and the service is always great.
