Located on Mission Street between Ocean Ave & 7th Ave, in Carmel California. Mission Bistro Restaurant is owned by Shaheen Alnuaimi. Our history-rich location is warm, charming, and above all cozy. We offer brunch, lunch, dinner, local, and import wines. Chef Matt Zimny sources from Monterey and Santa Cruz County farms and ranches with the goal of serving what is fresh and currently available. At Mission Bistro we do Seafood and Steaks right. Cheers!

    A truly great meal. Service was spot on and the food was fresh and locally sourced. Not an expansive menu but something for everyone and the chef was clearly visible in the open kitchen. I must return for sure.

    We had a great night at Mission Bistro. The food—bread service, crab cakes, and spicy mussels apps, swordfish and bouillabaisse mains—was outstanding. The mussels were among the best I have had anywhere. The portions were very large. The service was helpful and attentive, but not intrusive. It was very quiet on a Saturday night, though I forget how early diners eat in Carmel. We definitely will return on our next visit to Carmel.

    Wonderful menu variety; chef is skilled in delicate entrees and beautiful accompanying flavors in sauces and seasonings. Great wine list to go with menu selections.
