Gluten Free Restaurants in the Seattle Area

If you are gluten free in Seattle there are lots of restaurant options for you.  I admit, with a toddler at home I am not as likely to go out to eat as I used to, but when I do here are the places I frequent.  Please let me know your favorites and I’ll add them to the list!

Kirkland

Café Veloce

An Italian restaurant in Totem Lake, Café Veloce offers gluten free pizza and pasta in addition to their regular menu.  We especially like this place because it is full of motorcycles (inside the restaurant), and my son loves wheels, so it keeps him entertained.  http://www.cafeveloce.com/

Rikki Rikki

Rikki Rikki is a sushi restaurant located in Park Place Center in Kirkland. It can be packed on weekends and in the summer.  I like it because they offer wheat free tamari sauce as an option (you have to ask for it though, it’s not what’s on the table).  Before I discovered this I used to travel with my tamari sauce when we went out for sushi.  Their sushi is excellent, though it can be pricey. http://www.rikkirikki.com/index.php

Garlic Jim’s Pizza

Who doesn’t love gluten free pizza delivered?  Garlic Jim’s does it well, and if you are lucky enough to have a coupon it isn’t even that expensive.  http://www.garlicjims.com/home/

Bellevue

Maggiano’s Little Italy

This is by far my favorite place to eat out gluten free in Bellevue.  They offer gluten free pasta options, and if you’re looking to make something else on the menu gluten free they will do whatever they can to accommodate you.  Tell them you are gluten free when you arrive and they will have a chef come out to talk with you about your order to make sure it’s right.  Oh, and if you order one of their classic pastas, you get a second one to take home. I love leftovers! Definitely call ahead to make reservations on the weekend; it can be a long wait otherwise. http://www.maggianos.com/en/Pages/home.aspx

P.F. Chang’s

Another decent Asian restaurant located in Bellevue Square, they also can be packed in the evenings, especially on weekends. I love their gluten free lettuce wraps and flourless chocolate cake. http://www.pfchangs.com/index.aspx

Redmond

Family Pancake House

While they don't have the best service, they do offer gluten free pancakes and chicken strips. Since I have a hard time eating breakfast out, this is a nice option. http://www.familypancakehouse.com/

Seattle

Anita’s Crepes

Located in Fremont, Anita’s Crepes offers gluten free crepes. It’s a small restaurant in a home on Leary Way. Definitely call ahead and make reservations. http://www.anitascrepes.com/

Five Fish Bistro

Yippee, you don’t have to drive to Portland, Oregon for gluten free fish and chips anymore!  Five fish bistro is on Capitol Hill.  They offer gluten free fish AND chips, as well as sandwiches.  http://www.fivefishbistro.com/ffm.pdf

Blue Moon Burgers

Burgers are one of those things I have always craved since going gluten free, and I was so excited when Blue Moon started offering gluten free burgers and fries. They also make an excellent milk shake. http://bluemoonburgers.com/

Flying Apron

I’m not in love with this bakery, but if you’re in Seattle and looking for gluten free baked goods this is an option.  Their stuff has a healthy spin on it, and they tend to use a lot of bean flour which I think can have a funny aftertaste. http://www.flyingapron.com/

Monroe

Guilt Free Goodness

My favorite bakery, hands down, is Guilt Free Goodness in Monroe.  They offer gluten free breads, muffins and cookies, and they also have some vegan options.  In addition they do special orders for cakes.  http://www.guilt-free-goodness.com/

Tacoma

Friesenburgers

It’s definitely out of the way for me, but if I’m passing through Tacoma I always stop by this hole in the wall for a burger. It’s located right near the Tacoma Dome, and they make a dang good burger if you ask me.  http://www.friesenburgers.com/
