21 Best Salad Restaurants near Carmel By The Sea

“Simply delicious—the flavor and variety of the pizzas are spectacular. The crust is thin and delicious, just like in Italy. I highly recommend the garlic bread; it’s like a slice of heaven. Plus, they offer gluten-free pizzas, which meant my nephew visiting from Argentina could eat happily. We really enjoyed dining here with my family from Argentina; it is highly recommended and a place to return to again and again whenever you visit Carmel.“

“Love this place. But depending on staff, welL? Signature burger requested as rare. Severed like leather. Gets reserved tables requests wrong most times. Beet salad with two tiny beets? Not good. Still, a strong recommendation.“

“An unexpected highlight of our recent visit to Carmel! Warm, welcoming, fun vibe, great food. There are places one just doesn't insist on veggie options. 🤫“

“Amazing food. Amazing atmosphere and wonderful service.“

“Pasta dish was good, salad a little funky with sardines on top (but still good) wine was good as well. While the bread was very good and hot, paying 12 bucks for it was ridiculous. Service was slow for a Sunday night. We still had a good meal and enjoyed our time.“

“Excellent atmosphere and food“

“I am from Seaside and I have to tell you this has to the best breakfast in Monterey County by far I will return“

“I wanted to write the perfect review but I won't be able to do that. The people there were so nice and so warm. The location is in an old house in historic downtown Pacific Grove. But I can't let this go, the prices were high (as expected) and then they did the old trick of, "Did you want chorizo with that"....without telling you it's a $6 upcharge for two teaspoons added on top of your $17 plate of chiliquilies. So for $23, you get a full plate, I mean piled high of tortilla chips covered in a homemade red sauce (delicious). A table or teaspoonful of queso fresco per the recipe (delicious), two fried eggs, and sour cream on the side, (awesome). Most recipes for this dish that I've eaten will offer a choice of protein. Chorizo is a very common breakfast protein for this recipe. I would argue that it should be part of the recipe regardless but if you ask people, "Do you want chorizo on that?", many will say yes for the reasons I mentioned above. But when the bill comes watch out. It was a $6 upcharge to my $17 choice of breakfast. If it's an upcharge you have to tell me in advance. "Do I want it?", is one question. "Do I want it for the price you will charge me?", has to be a separate question. If it's some amount that high, an extra 1/3 of the price of my breakfast, then you shoudl feel extremely obligated to tell me how much. Don't make me feel like an a-hole bringing up your sketchy business upcharge practices to you in the middle of a super-packed breakfast/brunch rush when you hand me the bill. I didn't bring it up but I wanted to, very badly. As good as the meal was the experience left a bad taste in my mouth and more than a week later I'm still shaking my head about it. For a place that thrives on tourist and word-of-mouth business, there's no reason for this type of shady business antics which leads someone like me who otherwise really enjoyed this place to go to the trouble of leaving a bad review. I probably won't go back due to this.“

“New to the area and I give them 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ I ordered a combination plate half fried rice half chow mein and salt and pepper chicken extra garlic add peppers…. Very very tasty. I’ve tried other restaurants in the area and this one is my favorite!!!“

“Love that there is more than one vegetarian options. So rare for a vegetarian to get options. Also love the daily specials. My hubs and kids are always happy and more than satisfied with their sandwiches! My daughter loves the ribs!“

“Abigail has made my pizza several times. She has made my experience worth coming back each time. She remembers my name without asking and the items I like on my pizza. The staff at this restaurant is great. The restaurant is always clean.“

“We've been here several times and it's always great. The waiter was incredibly nice, had fantastic suggestions and was super attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. The clam chowder - smakin'. The bread and butter - unusually delicious. The fresh caught sea bass special - meat butter. All was so good. We'll be back again no doubt. Thanks to the team at Domenicos!“

“Tidal was a Starbucks alternative, since we wanted to try something new. Oatmeal latte was excellent! The egg wrap was hot and delicious. The fruit was fresh. I recommend it. 👌“

“Love the character of the restaurant. Being old, I love older buildings and businesses with history. The staff was friendly and shared info about the food. And the food— had the Italian fish soup dish!!! Lots of fish and the broth was just perfect for dunking freshly baked bread. I am from Colorado and try to go to the Monterey area at least twice a year and the Beach House Restaurant is always on my agenda!!!“

“My wife and I came to visit Monterey for the weekend and stayed at the red lion on our second night. The urban kitchen is located on site at the hotel. The owner/host Renee was gracious and friendly. He went out of his way with service. Also the food was delicious enjoyed the artichoke enchilada and seafood soup!! Definitely recommend staying at the red lion and eating at the Urb. kitchen“

“yummy food great customer service. will be back“

“The best fresh food around. I really don’t go out to any other restaurant anymore because of what I have here. I know the quality of the food the way I will be treated and the cleanliness of this restaurant. In 4 years I never had a bad meal or something that is wrong. They have always been upfront about their menu and service. Even if they are busy they tell me and I don’t care about waiting I know it will be worth the wait. Thank you Krua Thai Gregg“

“Just got food poisoning from this location. Drive thru person was also extremely rude and talking to someone on his phone while taking my payment. Never said one word to me , just held out his hand for my card and handed it back to me. No thank you, no nothing... NASTY“

“We were visiting Carmel by the sea and couldn’t find a restaurant in the area with less than an hour wait. We found CPK and it did not disappoint! We had 3 pizzas (BBQ, Margherita & pepperoni) and the Chicken Piccata. Everything tasted great but my favorite was the BBQ pizza. The brisket & sweet BBQ was very tasty! We also ordered the churro swirl dessert and it was very tasty! Our server did take a little while to greet us & take our drink order and we had to ask for refills a couple of times but overall, she was friendly and helpful“

“Love broccoli cheese soup!“
