Aubergine

Carmel-By-The-Sea, US

Classic haute cuisine made modern by way of chef Justin Cogley’s clever combinations of flavour and texture. Paying deference to Californian produce, his eight-course tasting menus sway to the beat of the seasons, changing daily to support the best ingredients available throughout the week. Amid the charming L’Auberge hotel, positioned betwixt Carmel’s dramatic coast and forested interior, it balances a taste for both terrains with aplomb. The comfortable dining room has a lived-in feel that belies the gravitas of the food. From cherry wood-smoked maitake with shiro dashi, and abalone porridge with preserved tomato to triple-seared ribeye with kohlrabi and sunflower miso, expect taste buds to be suitably tickled. An alfresco chef’s table flanked in greenery makes for a special experience on warmer days.
