10/10. Can’t wait to go back for lunch. I felt safe eating here and consider GG’s celiac safe. They took excellent care to prepare wonderful safe and vegetarian gluten free food for me.
This place offers the most disappointing gluten free experience I can at this moment ever remember ever had. The selection of items that is free from gluten containing ingredients is fantastic. You look at the menu, and you realize you might be able to have things you haven’t tried in ages. Then at the counter you’re handed a waiver of liability, strongly discouraged from trying any “gluten free” food, and refused any information about the actual efforts made to keep gluten free ingredients gluten free.
I understand that it’s hard to keep a gluten free kitchen. I understand not wanting to be sued, but why refuse to provide any information about the gluten free practices you keep in the kitchen? I rather suspect those practices are in fact quite good! After all, they have many excellent looking dishes they clearly put thought into. Why not let customers know what precautions you take, how they might fail, so they can make an informed decision rather than stonewall, refusing to give up helpful information.
I really wanted to like this place. The ambiance is cute even if outlets are scarce, and I haven’t felt so excited at the prospect of trying gluten free versions of foods celiacs has denied me in ages. But in the reasonable attempt to protect themselves from personal injury liability they unreasonably denied me information I need to make an informed decision, so at this point I’d need a promise to improve their communication and, honestly, a free meal as apology before I gave this place another chance.

Yummy brunch spot in downtown Laguna! Has everything you’d want to eat for brunch and great gluten free options. I got the Mediterranean plate & loved it!
This place is amazing…if you don’t have celiac. I ate here prior to my diagnosis. I spoke with them this past year and they said there is flour everywhere and would not consider their place celiac safe. There are a couple of celiac safe restaurants in Laguna, Nicks Mexican and another one and the same building complex. Both make delicious celiac safe gluten free food.
Delicious food and incredibly friendly service. I also found a new favorite tea there (Coconutea), which they offer through a local tea maker. Highly recommended spot! Gluten-free friendly.
Not celiac-friendly, as the menu might have you believe. Though the menu offers multiple items that claim they can be "prepared gluten free upon request," this statement is false because items labeled GF are cooked in the same oil/fryer as foods containing gluten. Additionally, items on the menu that come with bread or toast are made GF by simply removing the bread with no alternative grain replacement.
So yummy and healthy (Delicious and nutritious):). Grass fed, vegan friendly, keto friendly, gluten free. Seed oil free. Such great service- it’s like a community feeling in this place.
Delicious food, fresh ingredients and options for allergies
If gluten free (gf) the corn tortillas and tortilla chips are not safe due to cross contamination. The burrito bowl is safe and is delicious.
The staff takes allergies seriously and cares about their customers.
The restaurant is conveniently located across from public lot 5 and has street parking.
Favorite place to chill and eat in Southern California. Good food, draft beer along with view and SoCal vibes is hard to beat!
Highly recommend the fish tacos and ceviche along with whatever draft beef they have.
Also for my wife they had some gluten free options including gluten free buns for her burger. Very knowledgeable on the topic.
Rye Goods has been a godsend for Laguna. Great bread & pastries, fresh-milled heritage grain, slow-ferment sourdough, friendly, helpful staff. I am gluten-sensitive but tolerate Rye Goods baked goods much better than most commercial ones.
Gluten-free options I had the salmon it was delicious. And the presentation was beautiful! Our server was knowledgeable about gluten-free options
Hands down, it was the best meal I had on my entire vacation from Palm Desert to Laguna Beach. Thank you for a wonderful experience and most of all for making my dietary restrictions feel normal.
I'm rating this a 5 because it's very rare to find dairy free gluten free dessert! I get the chocolate and vanilla combo with some toppings. Place could be cleaner. The toppings are do it yourself so it's a little messy. The chocolate chips looked wet? The yogurt is pay by the lb (including toppings) Not alot of space inside to sit. Some tables outside.
Went there for Sunday Brunch. Great décor, staff , and food. Lots of gluten free options. Had the shrimp tacos and they were great. The music was very loud so it was hard to talk to the others on the table. Booth indoor and outdoor seating with wide open windows so lots of fresh air. But it was very cold that day, so remember to dress warmly.
For pool food I was impressed. To have Keto friendly and gluten free options and a couple of them at that is amazing. Way to go montage! Enjoyed the ahi bowl sub lettuce for rice and the crudite plate.
Beautiful breakfast dining experience. The staff was very gracious, and paid attention to detail. The food was excellent and they catered to my celiac dietary restrictions.
The Montage property is beautiful and we enjoyed a stroll along the hillside/beach path after breakfast. A special place to make memories.
Celiac friendly
