The Coachella Music and Arts Festival is less than a month away and while many look forward to an amazing weekend of music, celebrity watching, and parties – let us not forget about the fact that Coachella is home to some killer noms.
[adsanity id=11529 align=alignright /]This year, organizers have added 4 pop up restaurants for festival goers to chow down at. Each will be a sit-down, full service restaurant. Each also requires a reservation, which can be done through Reserve. And all 4 pop ups are in the VIP area and available only to those with a VIP wristband. All restaurants will offer a $50 pre-fixed menu consisting of 4-6 course with your booze not included.
Here are the four pop ups and their descriptions:
