Established in 1980, Anton & Michel has consistently maintained an award-winning reputation for true excellence in the art of fine dining. Warm pastels, elegant decor, and the sparkling "Court of the Fountains" harmonize to create a serene and romantically intimate retreat. Casual elegance and old world charm coalesce in an epitome of "the Carmel experience". This is a very special place that will garner the top spot on your "must return to" list.

Anton & Michel has also received high praises from Zagat Survey, extolling it as Carmel’s long-standing paean to gracious Continental fine dining. Additional descriptions collected from Zagat comments include: old-world resort town dining at its best … well-trained staff treat you like royalty … patrons make a special trip for the tableside service and spectacular flambé desserts … the tastefully decorated dining room overlooking the beautiful courtyard featuring reflecting pools and soothing fountains is the best in town for a romantic lunch or dinner before a stroll along the beach … and … devoted diners declare “it doesn’t get any better than this.”

Ultimately distinctive, Anton & Michel is "...probably the best dining experience in downtown Carmel" (as quoted in Wine Spectator).
