Top 16 Gluten-Free Spots to Discover in Pacific Grove

The food was absolutely amazing. I had grilled octopus, gluten free homemade bread, and amazing gf homemade pasta. Probably the best I've ever had. I'm not sure what precautions they take but they understood I needed gluten free. I'm pretty sensitive and I didn't get sick. Service was excellent. I'll definitely be back.

My favorite go-to for years. As a kid and a teen we were always at the Bagel Bakery and I thought for sure when the Bagel Kitchen took over I would follow the Bagel Bakery.....until I went gluten free and found the Bagel bakery didnt have GF bagels....and were actually quite rude about it. The Bagel Kitchen embodies the original Bagel Bakery for sure. Kind, friendly staff who remember you, are SO friendly and dont just throw stuff on your bagel....you can tell they make it how they would want to eat it. Its almost my comfort food now.

Tucked yards away from the ocean along Sunset Drive, for starters, Fishwife provides a beautiful breath of Pacific fresh air! The seafood is fresh and mouthwateringly delicious. The menu prices reflect an excellent value. With a full bar, child's plates, gluten free and classic fish choices, there are plenty of options to enjoy and satisfy! The seaside, organic ambiance and atmosphere boasts turquoise accents, wide windows and a rustic stone wall. We loved visiting this intimate restaurant and will again, next time we find ourselves joyously coasting along the 17 Mile Drive near Monterey.

Un pedacito de mi querido Paraguay en Pacific Grove, California. I was lucky enough to discover a beautiful and charming gastronomic cafe while I was traveling in California. From the moment I was greeted “mba'éichapa” and entered to the cafe, the atmosphere conveyed warmth and authenticity, with details that evoked Paraguayan culture and attention that made me feel at home. Just remembering gives me chills. Cafe Guarani is certainly one of those places that cannot be missed when visiting Monterey. Located in the heart of Pacific Grove, California. Cafe Guarani offers a charming oasis of peace thanks to the indoor and outdoor seats. Beautiful place with an incredible garden-patio, full of plants, flowers, trees, they even have a Paraguayan hamaca, very relaxing atmosphere! The decor has a nostalgic vibe, with ñandúti and memorabilia from my country. I felt home, immediately! Liliana the owner and her son Sebastian, were so friendly and welcoming! When we get there the restaurant was closed and after I told them that I’m Paraguayan as well, immediately open the doors for my family and me. The cafe serves delicious Paraguayan dishes and snacks. We ordered the beef milanesa sandwich that comes with fried yuca and alioli sauce, also we had baked beef and vegan empanadas that comes with chimichurri and a gluten free mbejú (Tapioca flour cheese flat bread) with Cocido (smoked Yerba mate) Sooo good!! Everything was very tasty and absolutely delicious! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to feel the real taste of Paraguay in an extremely friendly environment. A place not to be missed! Aguyje Liliana and Sebastian!
