Turkish chef and sushi-obsessive Engin Onural is one of Palm Springs most-namedropped restaurateurs, and his Scandinavian-influenced Sandfish – all blond wood, polished concrete and industrial lighting – is a must-visit for any lover of top-notch Japanese cuisine and world-class whiskey cocktails.

The Ace Hotel’s prime location and divine swimming pool, poolside restaurant and refined diner make it a worthy stop on any Greater Palm Springs itinerary. Perhaps pop in for breakfast and sip a Stumptown coffee alongside a chia pudding, or come late and have a Pisco Sour in the Amigo Room cocktail lounge.

In the mood for a slap-up Mexican meal, made using the freshest local, organic ingredients, and some of the finest cocktails you’ll find this side of LA? From its Instagram-worthy shrimp taquitos and bursting-with-colour baja bowls, to an outstanding short rib burrito and sugary churros to round things off nicely, this neighbourhood joint won’t disappoint.
