La Copine - Yucca Valley

My wife and I were sat the bar which overlooks their prep/grill area. And while we were definitely satisfied with our orders we couldn't help but wish that we would've ordered one of everything! The food is amazing. We had the shrimp roll and the rockfish cake.

This is hands down one of the best restaurants in the country… it’s an experience. The somewhat remote and semi wacky (tho just “the usual” hi desert environs ; location, the smart service, but mostly the beautifully inventive and delicious twists on American classics done with love and care. I hate driving, but I will happily get in the car for this. It is a truly special place I hold dearly to my heart. During Covid they kept it going with take home meals and sangria, etc. and entertaining Instagram stories. Literally was one of the brightest spots during that time period for our family. Their authenticity and commitment are the best absolutely love the whole team and experience. If you are within a 3 hour driving distance I am telling you it is a must. Make it a trip by going to pioneer town too or make it a weekend and also go to Joshua tree.

Nothing makes me or my belly happier than the little trip up the hill to see the wonderful Claire and Nikki at La Copine. My favourite place to eat in the US !

I mean the fooooood makes this place over the top! With a revolving menu and freshest of choices for ever palette I've never had anything but delicious meals from start to finish. Thank you for bringing it each and every day from hostess to cooks it was marvelous! Make sure to get the fried eggplant though with extra tomato chutney!!!

Elite. Burrata toast, burger, and fries are a must. Best restaurant in JT.
