Café des Beaux-Arts is a Parisian-style French bistro at the corner of Larkspur and El Paseo in Palm Desert. It gives visitors a flexible French dining stop, with breakfast on select days, lunch daily, Sunday brunch, and dinner nightly.

French Bistro Favorites

The menu highlights duckling à l’orange, roasted rack of lamb Provençal, and savory crepes. Additional menu sections cover soups, salads, pastas, seafood, poultry, meats, and desserts, offering broad choice within the bistro format. A bar list and wine and champagne selections round out the available drinks, whether you are stopping for a meal or settling in longer.

Patio Views and Bar

A climate-controlled outdoor patio is positioned for people-watching with Parisian ambience. Indoors, the elegant bar has cozy booths, a U-shaped copperplate bar top, and a small-bites menu. Together, those spaces let you choose between watching El Paseo activity from the patio or taking a more tucked-in seat at the bar.

Plan Around the Season

Reservations can be requested through the link on the restaurant’s menu page, a practical option for meals on El Paseo. Café des Beaux-Arts operates on a seasonal schedule, so check ahead in the hottest months. That quick check is especially useful when you are building a Palm Desert dining plan around a particular meal or day.

Add this bistro to an El Paseo stroll when Parisian ambience, French classics, and a patio or cozy bar setting fit your Palm Desert plans.
