Carmel Belle

Carmel Belle prioritizes using fresh ingredients from local sources, serving dishes made with high-quality products in a sustainable manner. The restaurant serves poached egg dishes, salads, and sandwiches, with vegan options like tofu scramble and plant-based sandwiches also available.

Chef Gullermo Garcia runs the open kitchen, having been with the restaurant for 10 years. The menu reflects his expertise, with something for everyone to enjoy.

The owners, Jeff, Chantal, and Jaydon Nelson, bring a strong background in the hospitality industry to the table. Jeff has managed restaurants in the Monterey area, while Chantal has experience in the wedding business, and they take pride in owning a Carmel institution.

Organic coffee, juice, and smoothies made with local ingredients are also served. The restaurant partners with Mr. Espresso of Oakland, CA, to source high-quality coffee beans, and the juice and smoothie bar creates refreshing beverages from fresh fruits and vegetables.
