Fodor's Choice
To eat and sleep at luxe L'Auberge Carmel is an experience in itself, but even those staying elsewhere can splurge at the inn's intimate restaurant. Chef Justin Cogley's nine-course prix-fixe tasting menu (your only option at dinner, $185 per person) is a gastronomical experience unrivaled in the region.
