San Diego Restaurants

[lrsmetak]

Hello,

I am completely new to this board, and I am new to the whole Celiac's thing. I am traveling to San Diego the beginning of July (2008) and I am hoping to find some fun local flavor of San Diego that is gluten free (I'm hoping to avoid the chain restaurants like Chili's and fast food). Does anyone have any recommendations on where to eat out and have a great vacation experience, but also maintain my new gluten-free lifestyle? We will be in San Diego quite a bit on our trip, but our hotel is located in the Escondido area. Any suggestions in either of these two areas or in between would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

click here for a Open Original Shared Link, they have some restaurant listings. In my experience there aren't that many non-chains with gluten-free menus in San Diego, but most of the we-make-the-food-here restaurants are able to accommodate gluten-free diners if you self-identify and are willing to educate them a bit.

Also, search on this site for "san diego" there were a few older threads with some ideas.

Have a great trip!

I read a review, and went to, "The better half". Restaurant is excellent, small, nice atmosphere, but pricey! Chef comes out and talks to you about gluten free, seems very knowledgeable.

I like Ranchos in North Park. Cilantros Live also has quite a few options (expensive vegan food - but good). Ki's in Cardiff is also one of my favorites (the veggie burger is made with millet and is gluten-free - I usually get the veggie burger tacos).
