Aubergine Restaurant at L’Auberge
Executive Chef Christophe Grosjean's cooking philosophy is built on spontaneity. With farmers delivering products daily to the Aubergine kitchen, Christophe and his team focus on making the most of these natural, fresh products.
Diners have the opportunity to create their own three, four or five course menu by choosing from a variety of dishes progressive in flavors. Or, guests may ask the chef to create an exclusive tasting menu, whereby a diner's only decision is to trust Christophe and his kitchen team as they guide guests through a gastronomic journey.
The intimate 12-table Aubergine restaurant features an underground wine cellar that was constructed beneath the inn's courtyard to house the restaurant's 4,500 bottle collection. The wine list features great wines from around the world but especially wines from Monterey County, California and France. The restaurant is open seven days a week from 6:00 - 9:30 pm. Please visit our website at www.laubergecarmel.com or call reservations at 831-622-5907 for more information
Grasing’s Restaurant
Chef Kurt Grasing has developed a menu that reflects stylist simplicity by using ultra fresh ingredients gleaned from California’s Carmel coast and Central Valley. Dishes are displayed in modest fashion that belies the intense combination of textures and flavors. The award winning wine list consists of an eclectic variety of California wines at reasonable prices. When the sun is out, enjoy Carmel dinner outside on the pet friendly patio for a true Carmel Dining experience.
