For those newly diagnosed with celiac disease, restaurants can be particularly difficult, especially for those
who are shy about asking questions.
1. Don't start out hungry.
- The hungrier you are, the more likely you are to make a mistake. If you must go to a restaurant hungry,
bring some GF crackers to munch on while everyone else is filling up on the rolls.
2. Be familiar with the gluten-free diet.
- This means not only knowing which grains to avoid but also where they're likely to be hidden and the
need to protect yourself against cross-contamination.
3. Select the right restaurant.
- Look for the menu online. (In the column to the left, click and print the gluten free menu and take it with
you). If you're still not sure whether anything safe will be available for you, call ahead, preferably when
the restaurant isn't busy around 2-3pm, and speak with the chef or the manager.
- Note: If you'll be dining at an Italian restaurant, call to ask whether they have GF pasta. Could you bring
your own? Many restaurants will happily prepare your gluten-free pasta and top it with their own fresh
sauce.
4. Tell your server you're on a special diet.
- Don't try to explain your needs to a server who's standing on the other side of your table. Ask him or her
to come closer so you don't have to shout.
- (Celiac disease is not an allergy, but if you think they don't understand, now is not the time to explain
autoimmune. Tell them you can't have wheat or barley, and you are on a gluten free diet.
- Consider bringing along a GF dining card to explain what you can and cannot eat. Cards are available in
a wide variety of languages (Triumph Dining is 1 example).
5. Pick a few dishes on the menu that look as if they might be safe, and ask questions.
- Start by saying something like:" I can't have anything made with wheat & barley like flour, or bread
crumbs, or soy sauce. Could you please ask your chef whether the _______ would be safe for me?"
- Don't assume that anything is gluten-free. Even if a menu item looks safe, you might not realize that the
chef's secret recipe includes gluten.
- Egg omelets can contain pancake batter. Baked potatoes can be coated with flour to make the skins
crispier. Herbal teas can have barley in them. Here are some additional questions to ask:
 | Are your steamed vegetables cooked in pasta water? | |
| Are there croutons on the salad? Can you please leave them off? | |
| Do you make the salad dressing from scratch? What's in it? | |
| Do you make the soup from scratch, or does it come from a can? | |
| Can I see the label? | |
| Has the food been marinated in any sauce? | |
| Do you make the sauce yourself, or is it canned? | |
| Has the food been dusted with flour before being sauted or fried? | |
| Are the French fries made in a dedicated fryer or also used for other breaded products? | |
| Are artificial bacon bits/ meat substitutes used on potato skins and salads? | |
| Are your mashed potatoes from a mix, or from real potatoes? | |
| Do you use imitation crab meat or seafood? | |
| Will the ice cream have a cookie stuck into it? or contains a gluten thickener? |
- You might find it easier to be the last person in the group to place your order. That way you'll know the
server is going directly back to the kitchen and is less likely to forget what you've told him.
6. Caution the restaurant staff about cross-contamination.- Remind the server and the chef that your food must be prepared on a clean cooking surface, with clean
utensils. Many restaurant staffers will not realize the risks of cross-contamination unless these are
pointed out to them. All places stock foil. Ask them if they could cook your entree on a piece of foil
if it is cooked on a grill with buns, etc.
7. Be prepared to eat something that isn't your first choice.- Sometimes nothing on the menu will be safe. Ask if the cook can sauté some plain meat or fish in olive oil
or butter and steam some vegetables for you. It won't be the tastiest meal you ever had, but your goal
should be to eat food that won't make you sick, and enjoy your companions and the fact you don't have
to cook or clean up!

The GF Menu List Below...
...offers you the gluten free menu the restaurant has composed.
Even if a gluten free policy is in place at a restaurant, it does not
guarantee that all chefs and servers have been trained about
cross contamination or hidden gluten.
This list does NOT imply we are recommending the restaurant, but is
a tool to showcase GF dining options for those who travel or
socialize. Each restaurant is underlined. Click it, print out the GF
menu, and take it with you.
Ask appropriate questions about how the food is prepared. Start the
conversation before you enter the restaurant, calling to speak to a
manager in mid-morning or mid-afternoon, not at peak dining times.
If possible, plan to dine before or after the rush. When you arrive,
mention you called earlier, and ask for assistance so that you feel
comfortable ordering. Build a relationship with a location you plan to
frequent.
If in doubt, go without. Read the restaurant tips to the right below
to guide you. Give the group feedback of your experience on the
forms to the right. Should we receive multiple comments on a
particular restaurant, we will post.
