Breakfast or lunch? Coffee or cocktails? Wine or craft beer? Apps or dessert? No hard decisions here. El Paseo is an all-of-the-above kind of destination.
As the morning sun washes over the desert, coffee shops, cafés, and local brunch institutions arouse both sweet and the savory senses. Lunch over sandwiches, salads, pastas, or sushi is a prelude to happy hour. Dinner honors European and Asian traditions as chefs flex their culinary range.
The phrase “signature dish” is too limiting for this sophisticated stretch. Restaurants well-known for a signature plate enjoy delighting guests with consistent excellence.

Breakfast and Brunch
At Le Paon
, contemporary French dishes from a chef classically trained at Le Cordon Bleu are nearly always succeeded by a fluffy soufflé. Café des Beaux-Arts
stirs a longing for Paris with a bowl of French onion soup and a quiche
Lorraine.
