Absolutely fantastic! They have fresh gluten free pasta that is out of this world delicious. My daughter and I stayed there for 2 hours enjoying drinks, appetizers, salad, pasta and dessert. All gluten free and wonderful! The service is a perfect blend of attentive and allowing you to have your space. I have eaten here three time so far. I will be back anytime I am in Carmel. Did I mention fresh made gluten free pasta!!!

Today, I treated my colleague to lunch at the Village Corner in Carmel, a charming restaurant nestled just around the corner. As soon as we stepped onto the patio adorned with vibrant flowers, we immediately felt a sense of relaxation and joy. The tall gentleman warmly welcomed us, setting the tone for our delightful experience. Throughout our meal, our waiter's kindness and professionalism were evident as he checked on us multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the restaurant serves breakfast during lunch hours. I decided to indulge in the eggs Benedict and the gluten-free pancake, both of which left a lasting impression with their unforgettable flavors. Overall, the Village Corner surpassed our expectations with its excellent service and delectable food. It's truly an exceptional dining destination that I highly recommend to anyone seeking a memorable culinary experience.

I got the leg of lamb. That was some “last meal on earth” level tasty food. Pretty sure the sauce has gluten in it and I’m allergic but I didn’t even care. It was worth every moment of suffering in the days to come. I live 6 hours away but I’m definitely coming back

Wow. We came here for my husband’s sixtieth birthday. What an absolute delight! The care shown by the chef and staff was so superior to any experience I have ever had. My daughter has celiac disease and the chef prepared each item safely for her, even the bread pudding. We are a foodie family and my daughter thought she would never have another extravagant meal again. Wow. What a gift. And during the pandemic! The meal itself was done so incredibly well. Each course an experience in itself. We have eaten at three star Michelin restaurants and I dare say that what they lack that Aubergne has is soul. The deliciousness was prioritized over the extreme gastronomy. The food was scrumptious and unique. I cannot remember ever enjoying a meal as much. What more can I say? Thank you!

Restaurant The Pocket in Carmel, California, is a beautiful place as an option to eat in Carmel! It also has the option to eat outside which is very nice and comfortable. They have heating outside if it's cold. They can prepare dishes to be suitable for celiac or gluten free, such as pasta! I recommend for others, the gnocchi and the salad with Shrimps! They are really big and very fresh! The dishes range between 18 and 60 dollars (the meat) I recommend!
