Aubergine
Aubergine Review
To eat and sleep at the luxe L'Auberge Carmel is a weekend in itself, but even those staying elsewhere should consider splurging on the inn's intimate, 12-table restaurant. (This is definitely not a place to bring the kids.) Aubergine epitomizes farm-fresh gourmet dining. Chef Justin Cogley's menu offers diners various options; you can create your own four- or five-course menu, for example, dungeness crab with baby beets, abalone with butternut squash, pork in a toasted brioche with apples, citrus tart, and an artisanal cheese plate. You can also ask the chef to design a surprise gastronomic "journey." There's a 4,500-bottle wine cellar.
