“ I was originally going to go to Pangaea for sand dabs. I crave these and was disappointed to find that restaurant jam packed. I walked around the corner and saw live music at this venue, also with food that looked delicious, also priced well below other places in the area. The proprietor found me a table next to the fire and the band. I had a great time and got out of my comfort zone to find a new favorite spot in Carmel. ”

“ It's a simple cafe with both indoor and outdoor seating. I enjoyed my breakfast burrito here, and loved that it came with guac. My friends tried their steak and eggs and their eggs benedict, both of which looked delicious and filling. Staff was attentive and helped us get seated right away. It has a very homey vibe and interior. ”

“ Wonderful food, Rima was so hospitable and a warm, inviting environment. 10/10! Highly recommend ”

“ Went to the Village Corner Bistro for the first time this afternoon and certainly not my last! Our experience and meal were both wonderful, the menu was incredible, there was something for everyone! Service was quick, and our server Rima was very attentive and helpful! Thank you to the staff at Village Corner Bistro I look forward to my next dining experience! ”

“ We stopped in for breakfast, and it was lovely. The patio atmosphere is so cozy and comforting. I especially appreciated the owner coming table to table and checking on each guest and having a lovely conversation and imparting some Carmel history. The banana pecan pancakes were absolutely delicious and my partner loved the breakfast burrito. ”

“ Pleasantly surprised at how delicious Village Corner Bistro is... My Mom and Dad previously dined at Village Corner Bistro and raved about their dinner. With that being said, my Dad suggested we go to an early New Years breakfast yesterday morning and everything was so good. We walked in just before 10, and they weren't busy, but definitely not slow. We were seated immediately, and drinks ordered. The menu isn't huge, but has selections for everyone. I had the veggie Benedict. OMG...YUMMY! Probably the best Benedict I have ever had. And the breakfast potatoes were delish too. My husband had the breakfast burrito (also pictured), and my Mom and Dad both had other tasty items (bacon and eggs and an omelette) too. I would 100% have breakfast here again. Plus, the service is excellent too. I should also mention a very cute detail that the bistro does that I have never seen before. They put your check in a little book. So unique... Looking forward to trying other items on their menu. My Mom is still talking about the flatbread pizza she had a few weeks ago, and the pasta with clams my Dad ordered...lol! ”

“ We spent 2 days in Carmel which we had breakfast twice at the amazing Bistro. Food was great. The place is beautiful. Rima was the best server we met in long time. Shemade us feel like we are regulars! Highly recommend to try their turkey sussage and their bitter orange jam. ”

“ We visited Village Corner Bistro during the 4th of July weekend earlier this year. We were mesmerized by the ambiance and the wonderful staff. We had to drive around to get some parking and then there was some wait because it was a long weekend but yes it was totally worth it. What we ordered: We got an Eggs Benedict as well as a Chicken Sandwich. The verdict on the food itself is a full 5 on 5! The food was too good, it looks delicious just sitting there on those plates and it didn't disappoint us at all. The food was just perfect and I cannot stop praising it! The Service: Awesome food was coupled with terrific service, the hosts and serving staff were very courteous as well as jolly! They kept checking-in with us at regular intervals and overall they all seemed happy. We observed their interactions with regulars and non-regulars and it was refreshing to see. They offered drinks on the house while we were waiting outside for our table (I think it was Bloody Mary or Mimosa). What we saw: Now this is where things get even better, the whole establishment looked so intimate and cozy, it was noisy like any other busy place would be but there was something about the decor, the setup and the general vibe of the place that we loved. All in all, it could get over 5 stars because they hit every single checkbox on my review sheet. ”

“ This was my second time visiting Village Corner Bistro, and I love it so much! It's a great spot for traditional brunch and lunch, with quick service, indoor and outdoor seating, and great vibes. The customer service is excellent too. They have amazing iced teas and fresh-pressed juices. I had the lox bagel, and I was shocked by the portion size--it had more salmon and cream cheese than I knew what to do with (but of course, I boxed it up!). The salmon was so fresh and made for a perfect lunch after a big morning walk. My boyfriend had the French toast, which was delicious and homey, with just the right amount of cinnamon and sweetness. I highly recommend checking this place out for brunch or lunch in Carmel. There's something for everyone on the menu! ”

“ Village Corner Bistro is conveniently located in the heart of Carmel's business district. Family run, staff are welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Seating inside or on the covered patio. I found the menu to be varied with something for most tastes. I enjoyed my Huevos Rancheros very much. The prices are reasonable for the area. The clientele were a mix of locals and tourists, everyone relaxing and enjoying the pleasant and relaxing surroundings. ”
