Dining room at Cafe des Beaux Arts, Palm Desert, CAThis restaurant’s most distinguished feature is its pleasant wraparound patio looking out onto one of Palm Desert’s busiest corners. The French bistro fare within includes an average---and sometimes better than average---array of traditional bistro dishes, including rabbit Dijonnaise and the house specialty bouillabaisse. The long and inclusive menu features standout items such as a very acceptable lamb Provençale and duck with fig sauce. These and other dishes demonstrate that the chef-owner’s heart is in the right place, like his location, so relax and enjoy the street life.
