GG's Bistro - Laguna Beach, California

I can’t say enough good things about this place! As a Turk, finding food that actually tastes like home is rare, but GG’s completely nailed it. The flavors, the freshness, the way everything just felt so right—it was exactly what I’ve been craving.

The restaurant itself is super clean, and the people working there (I’m pretty sure they’re the owners) are the sweetest. They make you feel so welcome, like you’re sitting down for a meal at a family friend’s house.

And the location? Absolutely stunning. It just adds to the whole experience. But the real game-changer? They serve Turkish breakfast on Sundays. If you’ve never had Turkish breakfast before, trust me—it’s the best breakfast experience you’ll ever have. Endless little plates of deliciousness, fresh bread, cheese, olives, honey, tea… I could go on forever. I’m already dying to come back and try it.

If you love good food and good vibes, go to GG’s. You won’t regret it!

Stopped by GG’s Bistro for lunch on a Saturday and had the Sultan platter—a mix of kabobs that were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We asked to replace the rice with salad, and they made the switch with no fuss, which we really appreciated.

Sitting outside on the patio was a great choice; the heaters kept it comfortable even with the cool ocean breeze.

The service was quick, and everything felt thoughtfully done. It’s a place that genuinely cares about the details, from the food to the experience. Would definitely come back.

Lovely Turkish Breakfast for 2 to share . Service was great and food was too. I think the my definitely charge too much for a little side of yogurt the size of the palm of your hand and should tell you. It came to a $12 charge almost a whole meal and the sides were tiny.

They should definitely let you know otherwise everything else was great.

GG's Bistro in Laguna Beach also offers a delightful breakfast menu, particularly on weekends. The breakfast options are diverse, catering to various tastes.

Their breakfast menu is complemented by fresh juices, coffee, and a variety of teas, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed morning meal with an ocean view.

GG’s is amazing! I have celiac disease and ate here all week. The food was homemade, fresh, and tasty. I also appreciated how the staff helped me customize my meals based on other foods I was avoiding due to being on the Autoimmune Protocol Diet. The staff recognized us and were eager to recommend new things for us to try. My husband has no dietary restrictions and agreed that GG’s was the best in Laguna. Francesca told me on the first day that they have been catering to special dietary restrictions for over a decade. They also have a big “Celiac Restaurant” sign on the patio facing the road.
(fish & chips, ravioli, and bolognese were my husband’s, they are not celiac safe but GG’s may have GF pasta available.) Thank you, GGs. We’ll be back!
