    Gluten-free Dining in Newport, RI

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.
    Gluten-free Dining in Newport, RI - The Brick Alley Pub in Newport, RI
    Caption: The Brick Alley Pub in Newport, RI

    If you have ever traveled to Newport, RI then you know there are plenty of great restaurants to choose from. But if you have celiac disease or a gluten-intolerance then you know that dining out in an unfamiliar city is very difficult. Luckily, Newport has many gluten-free friendly restaurants that can easily be found if you know about them. I have comprised a list of celiac friendly restaurants in this scenic, colonial city. These restaurants have responded to a survey that was sent to over 100 restaurants and bakeries in Newport. All of the places listed have also stated that they are familiar with the necessary precautions that come with preparing gluten-free food such as avoiding cross-contamination. I have attempted to verify the accuracy of the statements provided by the restaurants to the best of my ability. If you are a tourist or local, I hope this list can help in keeping your gluten-free lifestyle.

    Conner,

    Thanks for this! There are some restaurants on here that I did not know are gluten free friendly.

     

    To add to your list: Salvation Cafe, Perro Salado, The Fifth Element, and Pour Judgement all have been very accommodating and aware of the needs of a gluten free diet. These restaurants are some of my favorites and my go-tos.

    Thanks for the info!!

     

    Diego's now has a special gluten-free menu that is quite extensive. I had the gluten-free fish tacos, and they were delicious - and didn't make me sick so i know they really were gluten-free.

    Just got back from Newport, Diego's is wonderful they are very knowledgeable and know all ingredients in there food. Eva Ruth's makes the best fresh bakery item I've ever had (try the biscotti, pumpkin muffins and cookies).

    Also accommodating restaurants to try Red Parrot and Benjamin's. Thanks for the article it was a huge help.

    I live in Newport so these are recommendations from my experience. My 2 favorite restaurants who have dedicated gluten-free menus & in my experience are careful with Celiacs: 1) Diego's (diegosnewport.com) - they have a separate frialator for gluten-free even though they change the regular one every day. (Diego's restaurant opened Diego's Bodega (www.diegosmiddletown.com) for take-out and though I've never had a reaction I feel they are less careful/knowledgeable than the main restaurant) 2) The Fifth Element (thefifthri.com) - have the BEST gluten-free pizza and they are even careful about blue-cheese last time I went! Others with gluten-free menu's or accommodate gluten-free (in no particular order) The Mooring, 22 Bowen's, the Smokehouse, and probably all of the other Newport Restaurant Group restaurants Salvation Cafe (amazing gluten-free french toast & pad thai!) Pour Judgement fancy places like Castle Hill, Bouchard's, The White Horse Tavern, Ocean Cliff, Spiced Pear Raw Power Juice (www.rawpowerjuicebarnewportri.com) - falafel, wraps, salads & smoothies A-Market - grocery store with prepared foods & hot soups. List all ingredients and Gluten-free is marked bold. myamarket.com Keenwah - breakfast & lunch. affiliated with A-Market (311 Broadway, Newport, RI. does not have website, visit on Facebook) Lucia's Italian Restaurant - gluten-free pasta Sardellas - gluten-free pasta Tavern on Broadway Caleb & Broad Gas Lamp Grille (gluten-free menu, but bar-food level) Brix - part of Newport Vineyards in Middletown (www.newportvineyards.com/brix-restaurant) These places have permanently closed (so sad because they were all fantastic!!): Eva Ruth's Yesterday's and the Place Tallulah on Thames - but check out the freshest authentic gluten-free tacos at Tallulah Tacos at the Shack in Jamestown

    I found out I have celiac in April 2010 and have incorporated celiac into my Senior Project for High School. My project is to find out the gluten-free restaurants in Newport, RI, so I hope to post something on this website about my project.

    Celiac.com 04/29/2008 - We were unloading our rafting gear at Lee’s Ferry, about to plunge into a 19 day private (self-guided) trip on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Very hungry after a long travel day, people were happily handing around the pizzas that they had picked up en route. I was walking back towards the pick-up truck, looking forward to the gluten-free supper of stuffed grape leaves, rice and salad that I’d stashed on the front seat. My anxieties had been crowding around me all day long, shoving each other like a bunch of rowdy teenagers. I was nervous about big water, scorpions, rattlesnakes, rock scrambling, new traveling companions and, of course, food. To my dismay, the truck was gone, off on a distant errand in town. Suddenly, one, lone sniveling child of an ...

    Celiac.com 05/20/2010 - The weather is getting warm and it's almost that time again-time to go camping! Camping is supposed to be relaxing and fun. Most people camp to escape the monotony of the daily rut, and to get back to the basics. Eating gluten-free while camping is really easy, once you know what to bring and what to avoid.
    Camping trips usually consist of the same easy to prepare foods. Chili, pasta, canned soups, hot chocolate, sandwiches, hot cereal, trail mix and  s'mores are the high-lights of most camping meals. All of those things can easily be prepared gluten-free. In fact, many gluten-free already prepared foods can be used for camping trips. Anything canned or boxed that you normally enjoy at home, can typically be converted to camping food.
    It is important to ...

    Celiac.com 04/16/2012 - Can I eat our at restaurants if I’m on a gluten-free diet?
    Eating out gluten-free is not as easy as it seems.  If you Google "gluten-free restaurants," your bound to find a selection of gluten-free menus and gluten-free yelp reviews.  However, a global definition for gluten-free does not exist in the restaurant world.
    Many times, restaurants, bakeries and deli’s offer gluten-free options like salads (with menu side notes like: order salad without croutons or order meat without bread).  If we define gluten-free as less than 20ppm, then the following factors must be followed to ensure safety from gluten contamination (please note this is only a partial list):

    Celiac.com 06/02/2015 - Consider the real estate saying about: Location, location, location. Now, ask yourself how far would you go for a good gluten-free pizza?
    Or, alternatively, imagine yourself out in the middle nowhere, the middle of the pacific ocean, say, and ask yourself how over-the-top happy would you be to discover a floating bar serving cold beverages and wood-fired gluten-free pizzas?
    I'm guessing you would be very happy. You might even say you were on "Cloud 9." And, if you happened to be in Fiji, you would be correct.
    For Cloud 9 is the name for a bar and restaurant that floats off the west coast of the pacific island of Fiji, boasting a full bar, and wood fired Italian-style pizzas, including, yes, gluten-free pizzas.
    So, if you're lucky enough to find yourself...
