[upbeat music]
When we travel, we're all about finding food
that reflects where we are.
Fresh, seasonal, truly local.
[Speaker] Which brought us to Carmel-by-the-Sea,
working with Citi Strata Elite℠ and Bon Appétit.
[Speaker 2] It's so easy to eat well here.
The hardest part is deciding on a place for dinner.
[Speaker] You can't go wrong with an evening at Chez Noir.
It's one of those places that feels both cozy and elevated.
My Citi Strata Elite℠ card
makes dining more rewarding.
I can earn six times points at restaurants every Friday
and Saturday from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM Eastern time
and three times points at any other time, like right now.
You can taste how much thought goes into each dish.
Compliments to the chef, yum.
For brunch, don't miss Stationary,
a neighborhood gem
tucked away in one of Carmel's many charming alleyways.
Go for the Chilaquiles
or the potato pancakes with seasonal mushrooms.
[camera snapping]
That's so good.
I didn't know mushrooms can taste that good.
[person laughing]
Good Citi Strata Elite℠,
the card that rewards our lifestyle.
