What Restaurants Will Be at Disney’s Cotino Bay in Rancho Mirage?
Cotino, the first Storyliving by Disney community, is taking shape in Rancho Mirage as one of the most ambitious developments the Coachella Valley has seen in years. The residential side of Cotino will offer million‑dollar homes, a major addition to the local real estate landscape. But for most locals, the real impact isn’t the housing — it’s what Cotino means for the Palm Springs and Coachella Valley food scene, which is about to see one of its most significant expansions in a decade.
The centerpiece of the project is Cotino Bay Beach, Dining & Shops, a public waterfront district opening in Spring 2027. Set around a dramatic turquoise‑water lagoon, Cotino Bay will introduce a walkable dining and shopping promenade positioned to become a major new culinary destination in Greater Palm Springs. For locals, visitors, and food lovers across the valley, the restaurant lineup is the headline: a curated mix of Coachella Valley favorites, regional expansions, and new concepts debuting exclusively at Cotino.
Below is the complete breakdown of every confirmed dining and food‑related business coming to Cotino Bay.
