Top 9 Brunch locations in Carmel-By-The-Sea

I love the atmosphere there. It is always fun to chat with barmen and the owner. You can actually talk there and hear each other. The restaurant have very big variety of drinks. Desert is my favorite there. I tried gluten free chocolate cake and raspberry cream Brule. It was a pure pleaser. They make me to forget about the diet)

What an experience! The view from Pacific’s Edge was breathtaking, especially as the sun set right next to us. Definitely make a reservation in advance and, if I may suggest, do so for at least 30 minutes before the sun is scheduled to set that day. The view and the sunset make an incredible combination. 🌅 Besides the view, the food was amazing. I ordered the short rib, one of the entrees that was marked “gluten free” on the menu. As I picked up my knife to cut into the meat, I realized it wasn’t necessary as the meat completely separated just with the fork. The portions were just the right size. The experience was expensive, but worth it for a special occasion or “treat yourself” event. Our server was fun and connected well with us. He also took us a photo! We did find it a bit weird, though, that we weren’t offered anything to drink except for water. We didn’t receive a drink menu or wine list, but it was probably better to save money anyway!

We loved our visit! Very friendly for gluten free people (though we are sensitive and not celiac). We had the artichoke appetizer, butter chicken biryani, and lamb Rogan Josh. We love Indian but usually stuck to told masala and butter chicken... These were delicious new discoveries!

Very friendly staff willing to accommodate not being able to have gluten. We were with a large group so it was a limited menu. The half chicken was delicious, would have been better with green beans or something similar just to cut the richness. It was very loud in the room with 25+ people, but that's the only complaint. Will have to go back for the risotto .

Delicious! Such a treat. Loved the brisket grilled cheese on gluten free bread. The grilled cheese with ham was good but could use some mustard to add to the flavor with a little bite. Only other suggestion would be to get a filter so that customers be given water.

An excellent place for good food and great service. I had the bacon cheeseburger and it was absolutely amazing. The bacon is sweet and savory. The patty grilled to perfection. The onion marmalade brings the whole thing together. My wife had the veggie burger with a gluten free bun. She said it was one of the best she has ever had. Wait staff are attentive and very friendly. I can't recommend this place enough...a must visit if you are in the Carmel area.

Breakfast was delicious! I'm celiac and was able to order a Denver omelette with potatoes as a gluten free option. So good and I didn't have any gluten contamination. The fresh pressed apple juice is really good and not too sweet like others. Can't wait to go back next time.

If you are ever in Carmel, you have to stop by for their deserts! They also have a wide variety of gluten free options.

Good food! Portions are big! A little pricey. We ate outside, and they had heaters next to the tables, but it was still pretty cold. But we opted for that, since the wait was going to be about 20 minutes for inside. It looked pretty small inside, but inside and outside was full, so it looked like a popular restaurant! All the ordering is done via scanning the QR code that is on the paper, that is on the table. My husband wasn't a fan of that, but I didn't mind so much, because I don't like touching dirty germ-covered menus. The waitress seemed a little stressed out, but still friendly. She had to take the orders on a tablet, and it seemed to be giving her trouble. My red potatoes were seasoned with yummy flavors, with my "create your own" omelette. I eat gluten-free, and the waitress provided corn tortillas with my meal, instead of bread. (They do not have any gluten-free bread products.) My husband really liked his biscuits and gravy, and the brisket chili. (The waitress told me that it was not gluten-free, so I did not have any.) They we're out of grits, so my husband wasn't able to order them. He opted for fruit, in lieu of the grits. A side of bacon was seven or eight bucks! But at least it was four big slices of bacon. My husband's coffee was not very hot, and the second serving made his coffee cold. When I brought it up to the waitress, she apologized, and poured it out on the plants; and a different person brought out a fresh serving, but then it was near-boiling hot.
