Nutritional Disclosures
Monterey Restaurants Are Offering Healthier Menu Choices,
Accommodating Special Diets such as Gluten-free and Low Fat, and are Eliminating
Unhealthy Ingredients such as Trans Fat and MSG.
Nutritional information is a must for anyone trying to make healthy choices, but only restaurant chains with 20 or more locations are legally bound to disclose nutritional facts.
Monterey restaurants are once again ahead of the industry by voluntarily disclosing some key nutritional information that consumers need – especially those with special nutritional requirements – so they can make better, healthier choices.
By scanning the restaurant list below, you will discover that they are focused on quality, healthy meals. A testament to their commitment is their willingness to exclude MSG and trans fat from their menus, and include many gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly entree options.
Although all of the listed restaurants deserve much praise, the standout in this category is Esteban Restaurant. With 75% of their entrees vegetarian and an unparalleled 25% vegan, they are creating one of the healthiest menus on the Peninsula.

Explore1.com's social responsibility category is organized three sections:
1) Organic, Natural & Conventional; 2) Nutritional; and 3) Environmental. The rationale to use three separate subcategories is for display purposes rather than based on topics or issues. There is a significant overlap between categories.
This page demonstrates how Monterey restaurants are committed to providing their customers with tasty, healthy menu options. All responses below are voluntarily provided by each restaurant. There was no independent validation of their responses.
