Dosas are traditionally made from chickpea or lentil flour, but beware. These larger-than-life dosas are like a crepe or a really thin pancake stuffed with delicious fillings. I hadn’t had a dosa since moving from NYC and this meal filled a major craving. If you never ate a dosa, you are seriously missing out. “Dosa specialist serving modern takes on Indian cuisine with a focus on local, organic ingredients.” Gluten-free empanadas to go from Pica Pica Kitchen Here are some empanadas I bought “to go” although I think they lasted all of ten minutes of my 1.5 hour drive home.

Every time I go to San Francisco, I try to swing by. Give me all of the savory, starchy carbs! I’ve been here so many times I’ve stopped counting. I think I could live forever eating just arepas, taro chips, plantains, and empanadas. This 100% gluten-free restaurant is a dream. “Arepas & other Venezuelan eats provide the Latin flavors at this casual spot.” Bonus: they had the best sangria I’ve had in my life! A variety of gluten-free tapas at Bask SF They were listed as gluten-free on the menu but cooked in a shared fryer. I was most impressed when they told me to avoid the brussel sprouts. When I arrived, they went through the entire menu with me to tell me what I could and could not eat. I made a reservation using so the restaurant was aware that I had celiac and a shellfish allergy. I went here with my mom and husband and we ate this Spanish feast for hours. “Contemporary, warm restaurant & bar serving traditional Basque Country fare & modern Spanish tapas.” Destination SF… GF obviously! Gluten-Free Globetrotter Top 5 Gluten-Free Meals We were spoiled with food from around the world in New York City as well as gluten-free options. So every month or so, my man and I jump in the car for a road trip. Another thing that comes with city life is diversity, something seriously lacking in Santa Cruz. San Francisco is not that close to me but I crave city life and I crave good gluten-free food. Sometimes, I feel like everyone around me is eating gluten-free because it is “cool”.Īs I sat down to think about the positive gluten-free experiences I’ve had over the past year, I realized that almost all of my best gluten-free meals have been in San Francisco. I struggle to get people to take my celiac disease “diet” seriously. Of course, this does not apply to every restaurant I have been to but I’ve had many less than impressive gluten-free meals and conversations here. It seems that where I live in Santa Cruz it is more of a trend to eat gluten-free than something taken seriously. Gluten-Free Meals in San Francisco (and one of my favorite pictures I’ve ever taken!)Īfter moving to California from NYC (a gluten-free mecca) last year, I’ve been less than impressed with my gluten-free options.
