Charming

Nestled on HWY 111 in beautiful Rancho Mirage. We specialize in Western Mediterranean cuisine bringing forth tastes from Italy, Spain, France and Greece while incorporating local and seasonal ingredients. Our Paella mixta and Spanish Tapas are an exclusive experience in the Desert. Indulge in our tender charred deep water octopus, 3 month house made lemoncello, and other guest favorites.

With our beautiful atrium to enjoy during cooler months, complimented by the sweet sounds of George Christian and his live guitar which features Spanish flamenco and a mix of classic rock, Catalan is an experience to be had.

Hello:), the restaurants very nice and had a great atmosphere as well. It was Valentine’s Day so it was really busy too. The service was great and they really went over and above to make our experience there a rememberable one. The food was amazing and their menu has all kinds of delicious items on it we are going to have to go back to try. I’m looking forward to going back sometime soon and eating some more yummy food. Thanks again to the owners and staff for making our Valentine’s Day a special one!! See you again soon

The new ownership has definitely improved the food quality and service. Excellent menu with truly something for everyone. The mixed paella is generous enough to share and the arugula salad with apple was bright and refreshing. Our server, Abby was very attentive and we will definitely go back often.

Angela (owner) and Renee couldn’t have been more hospitable. I entered with an elderly friend with a walker and they didn’t miss a beat in how to accommodate him to his seat. I had the penne pasta with chicken and mushrooms. Fantastic straight forward dish I would recommend. I also highly recommend the cauliflower purée (cauliflower mash potato) I will go again.
