San Francisco Restaurants

[Peacenik]

Hello all! My family is vacationing in the Union Square area of San Francisco and I am looking for restaurant recommendations. I'm extremely sensitive, and usually don't eat out, but it would be so nice if there was a safe place. My kids really want to eat in Chinatown too, if anyone knows a good place. Thanks!

E&O Restaurant and Bar on the edge of Chinatown and Union Square is a great Asian place with lots of gluten-free options. My husband and I have eaten there multiple times, and have always been pleased with our meals. The staff is fantastic!

There are many other places in the area that can accommodate gluten-free diners, but i think E&O really stands out.

Asian  Box is completely gluten free, although that information is not very prominent on their website.  I haven't been to the SF location but enjoyed the Mountain View location.  It looks like the SF location may be within the Macy's department store.

Mariposa Bakery in the Ferry Bldg. right on the bay.  Mariposa has fantastic sandwiches and salads,  either hot or cold, on your choice of breads or rolls.  Try the chocolate cupcakes!

I had lunch at Nopalito on 9th by Golden Gate park yesterday and they were very helpful and knowledgeable. I had a yummy chicken soup with avocado, corn tortillas, cauliflower, and chipotle pepper. There were also a few other items on the menu that were gluten free. They were upfront about the items I should not have- including letting me know the chips were cooked in the same fryer as flour items. I really appreciate when they know and tell you that sort of thing.
It's the first time I've eaten out since I was diagnosed 6 months ago and didn't feel bad the next day. I will definitely go back. That soup was really good  Open Original Shared Link
