Finding a few minutes for a sunny spin on the Ferris wheel, making time to move to the music of a mid-afternoon show, running into friends and chatting, spending a half hour lounging in a shady spot, and repeating it all again: While the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival can seem to rock a relaxed vibe, it possesses a go-go spirit.

It's no surprise that the foodie character of Coachella has continued to be on the up-and-up over the years, with acclaimed chefs and well-loved restaurants, from Los Angeles and beyond, regularly appearing at the springtime festival.
