Restaurants in Carmel and Santana Row (San )

[Guest guest]

I received the below e-mail from Kim Fanelli who lives back east and recently visited the Bay Area. She e-mailed me the below information regarding a few restaurants she ate in while visiting our area. More exciting options!

Hi ! I wanted to share some great restaurant experiences I had while in your area. We came across some fantastic GF options while there and I didn't have a reaction. First is Sino (sinorestaurant.com) on Santana Row in San . Chef Barney said that he gets 2-3 gluten free diners there every week. He was very knowledgable. He whipped up a sauted Sea Bass with fried shrimp (breaded with tapioca flour, clean pan) in a tomatoe cilantro broth. It was great.

Another restaurant that was AWESOME we came across in Carmel. It's called Julihanh (julihanh.com) and it is a Vietnamese/ French/Asian fusion restaurant. Really casual and cute. The menu is outstanding and the food was wonderful. They have a lot of spring rolls, rice vermicelli, and rice dishes. If I had a place like that where I lived I would go there everyday..I loved it. The complete menus are online to check out.

Thank you again for helping me out. I had a really nice time while there. I'm hoping I can join my husband there again sometime while he is on business. Definitely a beautiful area. Take care!
