While walking around cannery row, I was surprised to see how many restaurants had gluten free menus. From sit-down joints to quick-service cafes, there were almost too many options! We finally decided on The Fish Hopper, where I feasted on macadamia crusted tilapia with roasted vegetables & glazed sweet potatoes. The papaya mango relish was divine - it went perfectly with everything on my plate.
My lingering sweet tooth led me to Lily Maes Cinnamon Rolls, where I found a selection of gf pastries, including scones, muffins, and of course, cinnamon rolls. A peanut butter cookie jumped out at me, so I bought the last one. I devoured it too quickly to snap a photo, which is testament to its spot on taste.
No trip is complete without some sort of shopping, but I've never been a huge fan of spending my money at high end waterfront stores . Vintage shopping is more my scene...and I was extremely lucky to stumble upon The Cannery Row Antique Mall. Located in a rustic barn-style warehouse, this place is a must visit. I could have spent an entire day browsing the vintage travel posters, delicate jewelry, and 1920's cookbooks. Not to mention the precious tea sets and cute antique dollhouse furniture!
To my amazement / dismay, I found out that there was a second level when we were leaving. A whole second floor filled with one-of-a-kind finds?! I will definitely be back to explore!
What's your favorite spot for a great weekend getaway?
I love you, Dani.
ReplyDeleteI've eaten at The Fish Hopper in Monterey; did not realize that they had a gluten free options; thank for the info. And also letting us know about the Cannery Row Antique Mall...we will certainly stop there on our next trip to that area!
