    Copper pots hang from the ceiling, a bicycle or two lean against the wall, and the wooden chairs are the kind that invite you to stay longer than you planned. This Carmel-by-the-Sea bistro splits its attention between California-Mediterranean cooking and French classics, with a wood-burning oven handling the pizzas and bread. The duck confit and the tarte Tatin suggest the kitchen knows exactly where its loyalties lie.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
