An Exclusive First-Look At Coachella’s 2023 Food Lineup

An Exclusive First-Look At Coachella’s 2023 Food Lineup

Coachella is a music festival. We all know that. But on the low It’s also secretly one of the best food festivals in the country. And while there are plenty of reasons to be psyched over this year’s musical lineup (Bad Bunny, Rosalía, Frank Ocean, Björk, and BLACKPINK in a single weekend Sold!) the food lineup is equally hype-worthy with Michelin-starred and award-winning restaurants and innovative chefs making an appearance across the festival grounds.

This year, Coachella-goers can enjoy elevated eats from lauded chefs like Max Boonthanakit and Lijo George of Camphor fame, who are bringing a full-service pop-up restaurant and casual walk-up window to the VIP space; experience an exclusive and intimate 16-course omakase and sake pairing by Chef Phillip Franklin Lee in a super secret sushi speakeasy; grab one of the many slices of pizza from NYC and LA pizza hot spots like Prince Street Pizza, Ronan, and Forever Pie; indulge in classic comfort foods with a culinary spin, like the 4 Cheese Baked Mac & Cheese topped with BBQ Pulled Pork at Big B The Chef; grab a Tijuana-style street taco and a craft margarita from Tacos 1986; drool over Szechuan Garlic Noodles from the famed Bang Bang Noodles… It’s an “all bangers all the time lineup” from some of the best culinary curators in the game.

The full food lineup is absolutely stacked but it wouldn’t be a music festival without great drinking spaces right Whether you’re after inventive cocktails, craft beer, wine, coffee, smoothies, or cold-pressed juices, Coachella has you covered. The festival is even setting up a fully non-alcoholic bar in partnership with LA’s The New Bar, which will stock a curated selection of alcohol-free spirits, wine, beer, and RTDs. On the flip side, the festival has planned multiple speakeasies from award-winning bars, offering a respite from the festival vibe as you’re transported to New York City’s PDT or the Miami Vice-themed Sonny’s By Attaboy.

We’re going to tell you where to find all of the food and how to access these speakeasies in a bit, but we can’t preview the food without telling you about Coachella’s 8th annual pop-up dinner series, Outstanding in the Field, which has a stacked lineup of its own. Located in Coachella’s VIP Rose Garden, festival-goers will get the chance to enjoy a full-service, four-course, family-style meal from a rotating cast of chefs where you can sip on Aperol cocktails, beer, and wine while enjoying a stunning sunset in Coachella’s most tranquil hideaway. A $350 ticket (available here) will get you a welcome cocktail, and exclusive access to the VIP Rose Garden on the day of the dinner.

Here is the Outstanding in the Field lineup for both weekends:

Outstanding In The Field — WEEKEND 1

Outstanding In The Field — WEEKEND 2

To help you navigate both Coachella weekends (April 15-16th and April 21-23rd), we’ve listed every single food and drink vendor at the festival (in alphabetical order), what to expect, how to score tickets to the most exclusive events, and where to find them. Let’s dive in but be warned — you’re about to drool on your phone or keyboard.
