Nestled in a residential neighborhood on Mission Street, three blocks north of Ocean Avenue lies a slice of "Old Carmel". Originally founded in 1958 by Yvan Nopert and his family, Chef - Owner Kericos Loutas carries on the traditions of superb Country French Cusine and personalized friendly service. A local favorite for casual fine dinning in a romantic atmosphere, L'Escargot offers visitors an alternative to the "tourist experience". The menu changes frequently, as do the specials. A three-course prix fixed Bistro Menu is offered nightly. The excellent cuisine, friendly service and the warm, romantic dinning room will remind you why you came to Carmel.
