Chew This Up

Twenty years ago, I grabbed a window seat and was ecstatic to see “everything” on my way to Seattle. About an hour in, I just wanted off. Everything was shaking. I was wearing my Dr. Pepper. My window was flashing with lightning. I was wondering how this fell under the term “vacation.”

Ten years ago, I wanted to see the new penguin exhibit at the Woodland Park Zoo. So, I traveled 3 hours by plane to see them. I was wearing a poncho and was the only person walking around. Either all the animals transferred to another zoo, or we were all cold.

This sounds depressing, right?

When my friend Emily told me she was moving there, I couldn’t believe it. My food partner who always makes me laugh was leaving, and I was devastated.

But, I knew that I was going to have to try one more time.

And, I’m so glad that I did. Because I found the best gluten-free restaurants in Seattle.

The Pink Door, A gluten-free friendly restaurant in Seattle

The Pink Door restaurant is hidden. You are looking for a Pink door, but it’s in the alley. If you get lost, as we did, keep looking, it’s a great find!

As an Italian, I’ve tasted hundreds of antipasto plates. And, The Pink Door, makes a very memorable dish. Plus, it’s gluten-free.

The Pink Door offers gluten-free pasta dishes, and they are full of flavor. If you’re looking for pasta, this is the place to try.

If anybody asked me about the best gluten-free restaurants in Seattle, I would remember The Pink Door.

STOCK – a good gluten free restaurant in Seattle

Stock was a recommendation from our tour guide, and it was the perfect meal after a wet kayaking trip.

I remember Duck Pho like it was yesterday. Warm, hearty, gingery, and savory. Almost makes me want to fly 3 hours to get Pho.

Want to meet me there tomorrow?

Niche Gluten Free Cafe And Bakery – one of the gluten-free friendly restaurants in Seattle 

I found Niche Gluten Free Cafe and Bakery on a google search before I arrived in Seattle. I was impressed that a small town had a dedicated gluten-free bakery. And, I knew that I would be safe eating ANYTHING that I wanted on the menu.

I did my usual routine of ordering three meals, and I searched for the largest table.

The Sweet Bacon Waffle is the best thing on the menu. It’s like dessert, but it’s labeled under breakfast so you can eat as many as you want.

It’s safe to say that Niche Gluten Free Cafe And Bakery will be my first view when I look out my window seat on my next trip to Seattle.
