Seattle?

[amybeth]

We're going to have a couple of days/nights in Seattle on either end of our Alaskan cruise, and I am hoping to get some info.....

We will not have a car, and I think we're staying somewhat close to Pike's Place Market - At Hotel Andra, if you're familiar with it.....

I am gluten-free, my husband is not, although he is allergic to salmon and other oily fish.... any recommendations? Will need some lunch/dinner locations - and possibly breakfast........would like to "splurge" for one evening's meal b/c it's our (belated) honeymoon.....

I searched the site already and saw a few, but because I am unfamiliar with the lay out of the city, I couldn't really figure out which places would be close by....

Thanks!

OMG, it is soooo good!! Try the deep dish gluten-free pepperoni pizza. Buy some of their wonderful gluten-free challah bread, garlic bread and fococcia bread!

Make sure you go there!

p.s. The lady who runs it is a bit eccentric, but she is a gifted baker!!!

DaVinci's is a bit of a drive and may be okay for a casual (pastries and coffee) breakfast, but for nearby (downtown Seattle) restaurants for gluten free lunches, I suggest: PF Chang's, Bone Fish Grill, Wild Ginger, Flying Fish, Ruth's Chris Steak House and Outback. Right in the Pike Place Market area is Chez Shea, which offers gluten free entrees. Call ahead or visit their restaurant to tell them what you need, before you make reservations. You can do that with most of the restaurants I mentioned, because they are within walking distance from the Pike Place Market. Just check the Seattle phone book in your hotel and call for directions. There's also a Whole Foods on Westlake Avenue, a few blocks from the Westlake Center, where you can buy gluten-free supplies for nonrestaurant breakfasts and lunches. PM me if you need more info. I have a list of all the Seattle area restaurants which offer gluten free menus.

Also, if you walk down Pike Place (above ground, towards the original Starbucks, just past it, I think) there's a little bakery, hole in the wall. I don't know the name. And it's just a storefront. But they have gluten free stuff. The apple cinnamon bread was good! (If you've come from the fish-throwing place (on the left) and have passed the knife store (on the right), you've gone too far.)

IIRC, Elliot Bay Bookstore isn't too far from there? They've got Flying Apron gluten-free baked stuff that's quite tasty as well.

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse is a few blocks from there and it's supposed to be really good. I've never been there, I don't actually go up to Seattle a lot, but I've heard other gluten-free people say that they are helpful and the food is pretty simple and made from scratch, so they know what's going in it. Have fun on your cruise!
