Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Joshua Tree National Park right now.
Dining options in the gateway towns around Joshua Tree National Park are extremely limited—you'll mostly find fast-food outlets and a few casual cafés in Yucca Valley and Twentynine Palms. The exception is the restaurant at 29 Palms Inn, which has an interesting California-cuisine menu that features lots of veggies. Still, you'll have to travel to the Palm Springs desert resort area for a fine-dining experience.
The husband-and-wife team behind this upscale, weekends-only restaurant likes to mix and match culinary cultures, resulting in a world tour for your tastebuds that might include dishes such as ahi tostadas with kimchi slaw or penne slathered in salsa verde. The menu changes monthly, but you'll consistently find attentive service, large portions of high-quality food, and an intimate low-lit atmosphere.
