Chez Pierre Bistro is an authentic and most charming French bistro that everybody wished they had in their neighborhood, where Chef Pierre develops his profound love for creative and innovative ideas in his kitchen.
The ambiance is intimate, friendly, his staff always very professional and his charming wife Esther watches over the dining room.
Chef Pierre has the extensive knowledge, passion and respect of the best ingredients from local farmers markets. His cuisine is superb and his daily specials are impressive, unique and follow the seasons.
In the winter you can find his famous cassoulet, in the spring, shad roe and soft shell crabs, in the summer, paella in addition to a selection of wild fish.

Experience a taste of Europe in Palm Desert at our family-owned restaurant, where we serve authentic German and Balkan/Mediterranean cuisine. Our talented chefs, Blanka and Milka, create homemade specialties like tender schnitzels, savory Cevapcici, hearty goulash, and comforting cabbage rolls, all made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Each dish is prepared with care, evoking the time-honored recipes that your grandmother might have used. For instance, our goulash simmers for hours to develop its rich flavors, while our sauerkraut is meticulously fermented over a period of 30 days to achieve perfection. Whether you dine indoors or on our lovely covered patio, you’ll enjoy a cozy atmosphere.
Recognized as one of the top 47 restaurants by USA Today, Alps Village is perfect for any occasion—special celebrations or casual meals with loved ones. Join us for a delightful experience, complete with a curated selection of wines and signature cocktails! We can’t wait to welcome you!

We are open! Come and join us and check out our beautiful new bar and dining area.
The foundation of good Italian cooking is the freshest of ingredients prepared with simplicity, bringing together flavors so no one ingredient overpowers another. Mimmo’s Italian roots begin in his hometown of Bagheria, Sicily. The fresh fruits and vegetables picked from his family’s farm were on the table, or tavola, that night. Our logo of the lemon and lemon flower, or zagara, is a symbol of Sicily’s rich history of growing and exporting lemons, and a reminder of Mimmo’s many memories of lemon picking in his grandfather’s groves. APRIL 30TH 2012 WAS OUR OPENING DAY.
WE ARE OPEN DAILY FROM 5 PM.
HAPPY HOUR ARE DAILY FROM 5PM AT THE BAR.
GIFT CARDS ARE NOW AVAILABLE AT: Mimmospd.com
