Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Palm Springs, CA

ado ort I highly recommend that you go and experience this restaurant next time you are in the Palm Springs area. As you can see by my pictures, Broken Yolk Cafe as in the touristic part of Palm Springs massage, I was expecting to pay tourist rates. To my surprise, my meal was very well priced. The quality of my meal I want to say whats excellent except for one thing that they did not have fresh hot sauce or French salsa other than that it was a very good quality. I had a chorizo omelette. It was a really good choice I enjoyed very much.

Ryleigh E This was my first time at The Heyday. I can’t say better things about this place! I’m a dirty Martini girl and honestly a little picky. When I say this was THE BEST martini I’ve ever had. I’m serious. Rachael is the most amazing bartender and Taylor had incredible service. Our burgers and fries were amazing. We’ll definitely be coming back!!!!!

Gautam Singh I am now a fan of Jhonny Costa. Delightful Experience, Amazing Food, every item was cooked to perfection. I loved their ambiance. There is limited street parking but a parking block just nearby which has ample spaces. The food, the bread, the shrimp, the pastas were one of the best which I had in Palm Springs. I would surely come back here every year.

Karen Schiavelli Absolutely delicious brunch food and drinks. In particular the short rib benedict was perfectly cooked, super yummy, and unique. The service was also excellent and vibe energetic but not too loud. We loved our experience!!

Ann Nguyen We were looking for a place to eat near the museum and found one with a LIVS yellow sign. We charged our Tesla nearby and walked to the restaurant for brunch. The place has a fresh yellow concept with a nice fountain at the front entrance. The lobster roll is delicious, with crunchy bread and a tasty signature sauce. The cheese blintz is a great option for a sweet breakfast. Service is good, I love this place!

Frederick Wolfe We were a party of nine and had a wonderful dining experience at Miro’s last night. A variety of menu items and the Sea Bass special were ordered and every dish was excellent. Bryan B was our server and provided the best service I have received in Palm Springs over the past twelve years. Bryan was terrific. The young lady at reception could not have been nicer. Miro’s was exceptional in every way (especially for a large party). We are still talking about our dining experience at Miro’s for all of the right reasons. A great value considering the experience.

Paul Hughes Wow. That was soooooo delicious. I laid me down some Beet Salad (goat cheese on baby arugula lettuce with garbanzo beans, pine nuts & Meyer lemon vinaigrette) with legit ice tea, sitting in the shining hot sun, and served by the lovely and delightful Kristin. So great, and so thank you!

Marianne - Italianwifey Dinner on our last night in Palm Springs was at Bar Cecil. A friend gave me a hint to go early to sit at the bar. We arrived a half an hour before the restaurant opened to find we were put on a waitlist for bar seats. Yes, the bar seats had a waiting list for 1-1/2 to 2 hours! Restaurant reservations are booked 14 days in advance and are difficult to get one or two of those coveted seats. So what’s a little 2-hour wait after waiting for 10 hours at O’Hare to get to Palm Springs after our flight was cancelled. The wait was worth it! Bar Cecil is an intimate restaurant with a fun and colorful decor with great artwork that offers delicious food and creative cocktails, including a $50 caviar martini. Hubby and I started with wine while we waited and then ordered cocktails at the bar once seated. An old-fashioned for him and a bees knees for me. Hayley made them perfectly. We started with the bread service with to-die-for date & sage butter. We shared the steak tartare with a truffle aïoli and potato chips. I loved the thin salty potato chips with the fresh and tender raw steak. My husband had the pork chop with au gratin potatoes and broccolini. He loved it and I kept on snagging tastes of his potatoes. They were outstanding. I opted for the black cod for dinner served with collard greens and delicata squash. The cod was moist and flaky and melted in your mouth. We had every intention on getting the lemon tart for dessert, but we were stuffed. Next time! I did bring the uneaten rolls and butter back to our hotel to enjoy tomorrow. Bar Cecil is a Michelin-rated restaurant in Palm Springs and lives up to the hype.

Brittany Mashburn We had a great dinner here! Was able to make a reservation ahead of time for 7 people. Food was delicious and the guys were friendly. The outdoor seating and heaters were a huge plus!

Todd Schwiesow This is a great example of a well managed restaurant. I wish there were more like this! It starts immediately when you walk in and notice the pleasantly elegant yet understated decor. The tables, the glass and silverware are all beautiful. The service is prompt and exceptionally professional. There is an interesting original cocktail menu and a decent wine selection. The menu is concise and creative, balancing traditional offerings with new ideas. Our table tried a variety of the offerings from the salmon to the schnitzel. It was all good! The smaller size menu still has enough variety for everyone to find something they like. The desert options are also quite tasty. If youre looking for elegant European food in a lovely setting you must attend! Reservations recommended.

J N (NJ) If you’re seeking a refined yet relaxed spot in Palm Springs somewhere that accommodates good food, decent drinks, and a friendly vibe, The Thirsty Palms is a strong choice. It might not be ultra-fine dining, but it delivers excellent value and an enjoyable experience. For your visit: go early to secure a terrace table, perhaps settle in for happy hour, and let yourself enjoy the blend of comfort and Palm Springs charm!

Konstantin Goldin Celebrated two birthdays, and a 30 year wedding anniversary. What an amazing warm place. Very welcoming. We got helped by Caesar and Thomas, they have been very hospitable, attentive. And - wow - Caesar gave my mother a chocolate bar for her birthday. This was obviously coming from him personally, and it really made my mother very touched. We got two complimentary Boston cream pies, and they have been delicious. Wish we had room to other other pies, they all looked very delicious. Unfortunately - we had no room! Highly highly recommend!

Mike Nicastro Very nice restaurant in downtown Palm Springs. Great atmosphere, food and service. I had the grilled chicken sandwich on sourdough bread, and my wife had the Jimmy Bs Classic Burger, both very tasty. We will definitely go again.

Zara Wells Such a great experience from start to finish. The food was incredible, every dish was flavorful, beautifully done, and clearly made with care. The vibes were just as good: warm, fun, and the kind of place you immediately want to come back to! Elizabeth was our waitress and she truly made the day! She was so kind, helpful, and genuinely fun, with the perfect balance of attentive and relaxed. She gave great recommendations, kept everything flowing smoothly, and added such a positive energy to the whole experience. This place absolutely delivers on food, service, and atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back, highly recommend!

Craig Mohn This is a pop-up, so check ahead to see if they are open. Hard to find, it was located in a bar in building on the corner. Food was beautifully presented and very good. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. The shrimp and avocado dish that everyone else on Google has recommended had a nice slightly spicy and quite tart sauce. I would order it again. The blood orange flan dessert was really, really good.
