Experience a taste of Europe in Palm Desert at our family-owned restaurant, where we serve authentic German and Balkan/Mediterranean cuisine. Our talented chefs, Blanka and Milka, create homemade specialties like tender schnitzels, savory Cevapcici, hearty goulash, and comforting cabbage rolls, all made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Each dish is prepared with care, evoking the time-honored recipes that your grandmother might have used. For instance, our goulash simmers for hours to develop its rich flavors, while our sauerkraut is meticulously fermented over a period of 30 days to achieve perfection. Whether you dine indoors or on our lovely covered patio, you’ll enjoy a cozy atmosphere.
Recognized as one of the top 47 restaurants by USA Today, Alps Village is perfect for any occasion—special celebrations or casual meals with loved ones. Join us for a delightful experience, complete with a curated selection of wines and signature cocktails! We can’t wait to welcome you!

    Alps Village is a great German/European restaurant with truly authentic dishes. It’s where I go to get my fix of schnitzel, goulash, and other European dishes. It is casual and family friendly and the service is always good. I definitely recommend making reservations on weekends or during busy times such as during the tennis tournament. We visit the Palm Springs area annually and always make a stop at Alps Village!

    We come for the pretzel appetizers but stay for the best German made meal in SoCal. Always busy here for a reason. And always great servers who are awesome.

    Overall experience was very good. My wife’s dinner was a little salty for her taste but the waitress dealt with that with no problem. We would definitely return.

    We have been to this place many times and love it. We have enjoyed many dishes from all parts of the large menu. In fact I cannot recall a single dish that wasn’t enjoyed and appreciated until this visit. Someone at our table ordered a fondue appetizer. Each of us who sampled it thought it was not good. I would humbly suggest that, instead of taking it off the menu which would require reprinting, just make it better. Use real melted cheese instead of the disappointing cheesey sauce that was so unappealing. We will enjoy many more meals there. Without the fondue.

    Surprisingly small piece of veal in the weiner schnitzel for the price. Also I’ve had many better tasting pretzels. The soup was good, but did not come out hot, although they reheated it. The waitress was difficult to find and didn’t come nearby often to call her over to the table. I’ve had many better experiences at Alps.
