Going To La!

[DragonQueen]

Well, soon Im gonna be going to LA and I was wondering what places are gluten free (dairy free to).

ok, lets just say "safe" places, any safe places where I don't have to worry about contamination???

Im gonna be staying in a raddison hotel next to LAX. I'd be sooo happy and grateful if someone could give me a list or tell me some nice places to eat. Thanks everyone

There is a PF Changs in the Beverly Center.

The Stinking Rose on LA Cienaga, they don't have gluten-free menu, but if you call in advance, they will accomodate and even let you bring your own bread to enjoy with the roasted garlic appetizer (YUM)

Solar Harvest 242 S Beverly Drive Has Gluten Free items on the menu and can make any sandwich gluten-free, they keep Food for Life Bread handy. Only open til 9pm though. Super Yummy.

Ruth Chris Steakhouse on S Beverly Drive, super accomodating, has a gluten free chocolate cake.

La Fe 1525 West Sunset, fresh mexican food, fresh fruit drinks. Only one owner speaks english, I recommend having a spanish dining card.

A Votre Sante 13016 San Vincente Blvd @26th Fabu Risottos. some of thier desserts are only "wheat free" not gluten-free.

For IN and Out. Order your burger "protien style" do not order with sauce or grilled onions. Ask them to cook it on a seperate grill away from the buns. They keep a clean grill open for this. French Fries and Shakes are safe.

Baja Fresh will be friendly (helps if you have a card) I usually talk to a manager and they make something special for me.

we checked out the Solar Harvest 242 S Beverly Drive , it was really good , thanks , the owner came out and helped us order, she was very knowledgable about celiac. She said her friend has celiac and helped her when she was making up her business plan and menu. It was very good, and we felt very safe eating there.

Another great find was Julianos Raw, I am dairy free also and there is no dairy, soy gluten. He was very nice and came out and talked to me and my mom, after I explained to the waitress that I had celiac disease. I am very picky and would have preferred cooked meat in and out burger, but this was really different and good. His philosphy is that my body was just smarter at an earlier age to reject the gluten and dairy, and that eventually everybody has problems (health) because of it. He suggested that i stick with the all raw, I would if I could have somebody cook me his gourmet meals everyday, otherwise it would be pretty hard to stick to it.

I'm glad you had good eats! A Votre Sante is great. I can't do raw foods, they just go through my system like gluten. Its great when people are freindly though
