Great for a higher end dinner, but our favorite time to go to Gastrognome is for brunch or lunch. Sit outside on the patio and relax (with a mimosa if you are so inclined). Right in the center of the village, great people watching and scenic view of Suicide Rock.

Some of the most bizzare yet delicious pizza combinations you've ever seen along with all the classics you love. Cooked in fire roasted in a brick oven, we recommend this for kids and parents as they have an arcade in the back and serve a selection of beer. The Signature Hawaiian Pizza with cashews and ginger is amazing for those who dare to try.

Essentials
There are two grocery stores in our small town, but be sure to check-out our Farmer's Market every Sunday (see more information in the city advice section below).
When you walk to town from Idyllcreek you will come right up on the shopping center where Fairway Foods is. They are a little pricey as you would expect in a mountain town but have a great produce selection and most things you would need in a pinch. Wine selection is limited but you can always bop by the wine shop that is kitty-corner across the street.

Arts & Culture
There are many art galleries in town, some of which so small that they could not be recognized by address so I added the names here: Studio one-eleven, Singerton Fine Arts, The Courtyard Gallery, Idyllwild Living Room Gallery, and L'Image Art Galerie. Finding them is part of the fun!
