Where to Eat

Alice B. is a chic dining spot near downtown Palm Springs, known for combining Southern California’s incredible seasonal bounty with vibrant Mediterranean flavors. Founded by James Beard and Julia Child award-winning chefs Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken, the restaurant is located within the Living Out luxury LGBTQ+ community and open to the public Wednesday - Sunday for all to enjoy. Our brunch and dinner menus evolve frequently with the seasons and our creative dishes have earned us placement in Los Angeles Times’ Best Palm Springs Restaurants and Eater LA’s Best Brunches in Palm Springs. Guests can also visit the bar for seasonal bites, classic cocktails or a glass of wine with live music on select evenings.

Inspired by the extraordinary life of Alice B. Toklas and her life partner Gertrude Stein, the restaurant establishes a welcoming space where culinary excellence, art, and community converge. The inviting bar and dining room reference the iconic mid-century modern design Palm Springs is famous for. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, private events, catering services, and a stylish atmosphere.

Sweetness can come in many different forms but we’re most passionate about our own, tried-and-true recipe. Our toffee is hand-made from grade AA creamery butter and pure cane sugar, one small batch at a time. Brandini Toffee is uniquely delicious and is known for its flavor and soft crunch texture. We do things the right way, not the easy way. This mindset is foundational to our business.
