Matchbox
A fantastic little bistro cum pizzeria with wood-fired ovens on South Palm Canyon Drive. Order Angus beef and brioche mini-burgers, crabcakes, or one of the delicious (and huge) 14-inch pizzas. It does take-aways, too.

Las Casuelas Terraza
Head to 222 South Palm Canyon Drive for one of the region’s most popular and lively haunts for Mexican food. The bartenders here make mouthwatering margaritas and there’s often live music; try to get a table on the terrace.

El Mirasol
Located at 140 East Palm Canyon Drive, this is a great, inexpensive Mexican restaurant – it's always a good sign when you hear that lots of local chefs flock here after their own shifts to pig out on tasty enchiladas.

Tyler's
Voted one of the top five burger places in California (and that’s against some pretty tough competition), this fun little joint at 149 South Indian Canyon Drive is the best place in town for homemade burgers with all the trimmings.
