Contracorrent Bistró

Rooted in rhythm, not routine

In the hills of Carmel, Contracorrent Bistro follows its own path – guided by the seasons. The kitchen is driven by local harvests, daily craftsmanship, and a deep respect for every ingredient. From house-made garums to local glassware crafted from recycled wine bottles, nothing is wasted; everything tells a story. Even the walls are lined with works made by friends. Front and back of house train together, week after week, in a team built on shared knowledge, curiosity.
