Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
At last year’s Washington DC Gluten-Free Expo, the most exciting piece of news to emerge from the event was that the DC area was getting its first dedicated gluten-free full service restaurant: Little Beet Table. A New York City export, Little Beet Table serves up seasonally inspired fare in the rare restaurant environment that is completely free from gluten. Not only can they cater to celiacs and other gluten-intolerant diners, they have […]
In exploring around London, I marvel at the sheer variety and abundance of gluten-free options on offer. I don’t think I could ever run out of restaurants and cafes to try, and it’s truly the most gluten-free friendly city I’ve visited in all my travels. On my last night on holiday, I made reservations at Indigo at One Aldwych, a completely gluten and dairy-free restaurant that serves up fare inspired by […]
Only a 45 minute drive from DC, Annapolis may be close in proximity but is a nice getaway from the city. I’ve only been to Annapolis once before back in 2015, so when my dad came to visit last month, I suggested the short drive over to this bayside city for a Saturday excursion. Of course anytime I visit another city, whether new-to-me or a familiar locale, a big part of any […]
Of course I couldn’t travel thousands of miles to the UK without seeking out one of Britain’s most iconic food pairings: fish and chips. After crowdsourcing recommendations for the best gluten-free fish and chips eateries via social media, Oliver’s Fish & Chips in Belsize Park quickly made my short list of restaurants to visit. Not only do they have an abundance of gluten-free options, but they dedicate each and every […]
Here in DC, Jose Andres is one of the district’s most beloved residents. Not only are his restaurants excellent and very allergy-friendly (I’ve reviewed Oyamel, Jaleo, and China Chilcano), but Andres is the founder of World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit organization to empower and strengthen communities around the world with education, training, and social enterprise. Of his many restaurants, Jaleo is definitely a crown jewel, and features an exciting menu of […]
Cooper’s Hawk Restaurant is a chain that I have heard quite a buzz about in the gluten-free world. I’ve read other bloggers’ glowing reviews and have seen positive reports on Find Me Gluten Free, a website and app I use religiously. That being said, I approached this dining experience at Cooper’s Hawk with dread, because I have eaten there once before (years ago) and it was one of the worst dining experiences […]
While visiting Cincinnati over the President’s Day weekend, my grandparents wanted to go out for dinner with my dad and me. After some searching, we decided that Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurant in Kenwood would be a good place to go out because they had an expansive gluten-free menu and lots of choices for the gluten, and non-gluten eaters in our party. When I arrived our waiter brought out the restaurant’s […]
I originally wanted to order the shrimp a la plancha, but dairy proved hard to avoid in the coconut curry lime sauce. The waitress offered to have the kitchen prepare the shrimp without the sauce and I agreed because eating shrimp is such a treat for me. The shrimp had a lovely spicy flavor, which was enhanced by a squeeze of lime juice. The four shrimp were large and plump- […]
In my last post- I shared the allergen menu from Jaleo, a Jose Andres restaurant with locations in and around Washington D.C. Now, here is my full recap of dinner at this upscale restaurant that takes Spanish tapas to the next level. Arriving to Bethesda around late afternoon, I dropped my bags at my hotel and ventured right back out a couple blocks to Bethesda Row, a shopping center with […]
When I first started out on a gluten-free diet, I would have never guessed that one day I would be able to eat at chain restaurants with my new dietary restrictions. One by one, chain restaurants have introduced and updated their gluten-free offerings, and have proven that they can serve up gluten-free fare right alongside more gluten-laden offerings. What’s really nice about chains is that they provide consistency across city […]
