Chi Chi (sometimes Chi-Chi) is a Latin American restaurant at Hotel Avalon in Palm Springs, California. Operated by restaurateur Tara Lazar, the restaurant has indoor and poolside seating.
Description
Chi Chi serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and has a lobby bar with signature cocktails. The Michelin Guide described the restaurant as a "chameleon-like Cali-Latin eatery morphing from daytime casual bites to a cocktail-driven gourmet experience at nightfall". The Daily Bulletin described the food as "Mexican regional fare with some Peruvian overtones" and said: "Black, gray and white marble accents with lots of greenery and hanging straw lamps provide a chic romantic ambiance in the patio-covered area, which is quieter than the al fresco dining area."
The food has also been described as "soulful Latin standards with a dash of cheeky California wellness", and as "flavorful California fare". The brunch menu has included Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, a hash with pork belly, and brioche French toast.
Reception
Fodor's called the restaurant "stylish". Business Insider said the food is "worth a try" and recommended the açaí bowl for breakfast.
