Gluten-Free Restaurants in Monterey, CA

“We ordered our lemon raspberry wedding cake with buttercream frosting from Parker-Lusseau Pastries, and it was everything we dreamed of — absolutely delicious and beautifully made!
From the start, working with Anne was a wonderful experience. She was extremely responsive via email and made sure all of our requests were fulfilled. The team was so accommodating and ensured our cake would be ready and perfect for our special day, which gave us such peace of mind.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how good the cake tasted — light, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness.
Side note: Their almond croissants are incredible — we’re obsessed. We’ve already decided to come back on our one-year anniversary to pick up a mini version of our wedding cake and relive the magic of that day.
Huge thanks to Anne and the whole Parker-Lusseau team for making our celebration so special!“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year.

“Adorable and romantic spot with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The entrees were quite good—especially the eggplant agnolotti and the short ribs, both perfectly prepared and full of flavor. A highlight was the special peach and arugula salad, which was fresh and beautifully balanced. For dessert, the profiteroles were outstanding—light, airy, and indulgent.Recommended for a memorable dining experience!“

“Layers was the best decision for our cake needs at our wedding. I was so excited when cake tasting, I bought about 40 cupcakes to take home so my family and friends could also try! We loved our simple wedding cake- it was so incredibly easy to coordinate with Hilary. Thank you Layers!“

“Highly recommend this place. We started out with the Tapas (calamari and the burrata) which was so good! Then we had the paella. It takes 30min to prepare which they told us about and it was disclosed on the menu too which I appreciated. This paella was literally the best paella I ever had EVER. ! Absolutely delicious!!!!! Shareable too! I had the Spanish Margarita for my cocktail and that was delicious too. Left completely stuffed. Definitely worth it.“

“Very nice and friendly place to have a dinner date.“

“Picked up food to go last year and it was really good. So happy that we found this place again! Ordered garlic parm and spicy fried chicken wing plates, lemongrass chicken and beef meatball pho. Also ordered strawberry and melon boba milk tea and Vietnamese coffee with egg cream. Food and drinks came out quickly. Customer service was great. It was so good that we ate and drank everything! We will definitely come here again when we’re in the area.“

“The food is over-the-top good! Because there is a lunch buffet- I never have to worry about being late going back to work- and I like the affordability :)“

“I had a late breakfast here the other day, and it was exactly what I had in mind. The food was absolutely delicious! They ensured that I had everything I needed, and my coffee mug was always full.

I’m not a picky person when it comes to interior or exterior design, or even the type of music is playing. I only care about the food and service, and they did great 5/5!“

“Do not sleep on Chows Szechwan Restaurant!

My party and I (6 of of us in total) were on a standby/waiting list for a table at a near by restaurant. We waited 35 (like we were told) and returned to then be told it would be ANOTHER 20 minutes to wait! So we left and decided to head to Chows, and oh my god am I so happy happy we eneded up there!

Each person ordered a main, a side of chicken fried rice, some potstickers and a bowl of white rice. We had some beers, some sodas and an iced tea. The food was AMAZING, the service was cheery and fast, and the prices were very reasonable.

I would recommend Chows to anyone looking for a tasty group meal!

“I have loved Ikes sandwiches since my first taste a couple of years ago. Fresh, innovative and delicious...what's more to like? This visit to the Monterey location was beyond exceptional exceptional. We were visiting with a group of students and ordered 35 sandwiches from Ikes on Door dash. After hitting the Pay button, we realized that the time for the order to be ready suddenly changed from 30 minutes to over 3 hours. We needed to hop back on a bus in 2 hours, so this was definitely not going to work for us. The Doordash bot was no help so we panic-called the store. Unbelievably, they had our HUGE order ready to go in an hour. And, all of the orders were correct! The hungry students were all full and happy! We were blown away by this feat of customer service. Ikes is truly the best. You have a customer for life, Ikes!“

“Visiting from out of state. Stopped by and oh my word. The food is so good! Definitely recommend this place.“

“Found this gem randomly and I am so glad I did. The bartender was so nice and helpful. The fish tacos were amazing and exactly what I was looking for. All of the staff were so nice and attentive. An extra shoutout to the gentleman outside who was so nice and definitely the reason why I ended up going in.“

“Great food and very friendly staff. Looking forward to going 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“

“exelent service and the food it's grate.“

“I am from Michigan took my family here. Food was great, people were great and very fun. kept us entertained while we waited for our food. I left my backpack full of souvenirs there and they mailed it all the way back to Michigan. Very thankful.“

“Great spot on the wharf!!! A must go to for amazing Italian dishes!!!“

“Had a great meal and our server Jose was a pleasure. Food service was quick and as always there are options for everyone as the CPK menu is huge. I would say 1/3 of the restaurant was open at lunch, so no wait. They seemed to be staffed appropriately and this was a Monday at 1pm. No complaints and only compliments. There is outdoor seating with heaters if that’s your preference.“

“Nice place, very nice environment will definitely come back“

“Don’t let the low star rating stop you from enjoying the best food in the area, appetizers are amazing and the food and drinks are top notch. Yes it’s pricey, but so is everything else in the area!!! My wife had the crab special and I had the ribeye, BEST food we have had in 5 days! I would like to add that Jeffrey was a great server and made sure we enjoyed our dinner.“
