GF Dining in Santa Monica

Santa Monica's guide is focused: two picks, both excellent at what they do. Modern Bread and Bagel is a 100% dedicated GF bakery that locals consider the best GF bagels in the city. Rustic Canyon is a Michelin-recognized, James Beard-nominated farm-to-table restaurant where the daily-changing hyper-seasonal menu can almost always be adapted to GF.
