  ocated in the center of downtown Carmel,  Em Le's is the village's second oldest restaurant.  Known as the "Jewel of Carmel", Em Le's serves breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week. Long a favorite of Carmel locals, Em Le's proximity to the village post office offers an excellent opportunity to enjoy the morning mail and catch up on the daily news. 

       Early morning golfers, on their way to the challenges of Pebble Beach and Carmel Valley, use Em Le's as their provisional headquarters. Whether it be Tee Time or Tea Time, the vintage soda fountain and cozy fireside provide an ambiance that visitors find both enjoyable and relaxing while they settle into a pleasant meal served by friendly hosts. 

       The extended menu offers a bill of fare that is both unique and simple in its content. With surprisingly inexpensive prices, Em Le's is without a doubt Carmel's favorite restaurant. Come and see us when you visit our beautiful village by the sea.
