Johannes Restaurant, Palm Springs

Foodies flock to this stylish but unpretentious downtown Palm Springs restaurant for the cosmopolitan pan-Asian-Austrian cuisine of chef-owner Johannes Bacher. From a single storefront space in 1999, it’s expanded several times over, a testament to his palate-pleasing dishes like the roasted organic beets and grapefruit salad with fig dressing, goat cheese and roasted pistachios. His Thai shrimp curry is too good to be true—and if you love Wiener schnitzel, welcome to nirvana. His signature “Wiener Schnitzel Lover’s Menu” lets you choose your own sauce, including caper, lemon, parsley and butter or Calvados, apple and cream. Oh, and the wine list is spectacular.
