Gluten-Free Restaurants in Tacoma

Gluten-Free Restaurants in TacomaI grew up next to a neighbor who had Celiacs Disease back before anyone knew what that was. It was very difficult for her to find places to eat out in those days. These days, its still tricky, but the rise in popularity of gluten-free diets has made her life a lot easier! If you like to keep your meals as gluten-free as possible, here are a few excellent choices for dining out in and around Tacoma. Pacific GrillWith options for lunch, dinner, and dessert, Pacific Grill has an excellent range of food for anyone looking to avoid gluten! Plus, dont forget that they deliver. Europa BistroHead to Proctor district and enjoy a variety of gluten-free pasta, ravioli and gnocchi (my personal favorite). FriesenburgersFeeling like Fries and a burger? Head to the Dome District and stop by Friesenburgers. They have separate fryers and grill zoning to reduce the risk of cross contamination with other, gluten-filled items, so you can order fries without wondering if they were made in shared oil. Dukes Chowder HouseOne of my favorite chowder places anywhere, Dukes features gluten-free appetizers, salads, burgers, seafood, andof coursetheir signature chowder. Plus, they have some of the most gorgeous outdoor seating available, right on the Sound. Savor Tacoma CreperieWith both savory and sweet crepes in traditional or rice-flour versions, this is an excellent stop for someone on a gluten-free diet. Those with Celiacs should be careful, thoughthe kitchen does not feature a separate gluten-free preparation area. Julies Gluten-Free BakeryLocated out in Puyallup, this little bakery will require a bit more of a drive; but it sure is worth it! Julies only serves gluten-free food, so theres little to no chance of contamination, and her baked goods are regularly compared to and declared superior to even their gluten-containing competitors. With pastries, breads, gelato, cupcakes, granola, croutons, wedding cakes, birthday cakes, and even many vegan options, Julies has it all. These are just a few of my favorite local resources for gluten free food. For a more lengthy run-down of the gluten-free options available around Tacoma, check out this post on Tacoma Foodie!
