gluten-free Restaurants In San Diego

[spinderella]

Hi everyone. I was just diagnosed on 5/31 and have been planning a trip to San Diego. Is there anyone out there who knows of any gluten-free restaurants in that area? Thanks in advance!

I am also planning a trip to San Diego this month. I believe that there is a PF Changs in town, and also an Outback Steakhouse. I have heard that both of these have gluter-free menus available. I'm hoping to find some places that have good, fresh seafood, that will be gluten free.

I hope you have a great time on your trip!

I have had luck at Cilantros Live (in Hillcrest, Chula Vista and Carlsbad), Le Bambou (in Del Mar), Apertivo (in North Park)....hmmm if you tell me which area you'll be in I might be able to narrow it down more. There's plenty of Mexican food, seafood and good health food/grocery stores (Whole Foods, Henry's, Trader Joes, OB People's Co-op, Jimbos). There's also a thread (maybe a couple) that list many more restaruants.

www.glutenfreeinsd.com might help as well.

Yes, that is right about the PF Chang's and Outback...And as luck would have it, I got in the mail today my copy of The Essential Gluten-Free Restaurant Guide and there are several others listed for San Diego:Andre's Restaurant, Buca Di Beppo, Claim Jumper, Corvette Diner, Flemings Steakhouse, Mimi's Cafe, Napa Valley Grille, Roy's, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and Uno Chicago Grill. Many of them say that they don't have a gluten-free menu but say to either make reservations noting gluten-free and to remind the server upon arrival. If you are interested in knowing specific addresses, now that I have this book, I can let you know. I hope you have a great trip too!!!

I am not too familiar with the San Diego area but I can tell you that we are at the Hilton on Mission Bay. Does that help at all? Thanks for the tips about the Mexican food and the health food stores in the area. I will keep that in mind. Also, thanks for the link to gluten-free in SD and for your suggestions of restaurants where you have had some luck. Since I am recently diagnosed (just last week), this really helps me!

I am also on my way to San Diego in about a week. We are staying in Del Mar. So any other suggestions for the Del Mar area would be great. We will be spending quite a bit of time at the fair and I am at a loss as to how to be at the fair and what to eat. I understand that Jimbo's will can make gluten free sandwiches. So I thought of going there to get some food to take with me to the fair. But I would love suggestions for where to eat in the evenings. My favorite place is the Japanese Cafe. I am hoping they can make me some gluten free sushi. I have soy sauce I am taking with me in packets.
