Gluten Free In Ft. Lauderdale

[Daxin]

DW and I are heading out on our winter getaway, and have 2 days in Ft. Lauderdale before we head out to sea. We are staying on Seabreeze Blvd and I am wondering if anyone here can tell me if there are any good places to eat near by. I know there is a PF Changs a short way away, but am wondering about other places in the area.

We will not have a car, so will be relying on taxis/water taxi/bus to get around. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, can't help with your question so I hope you'll forgive my posting but please post a review when you get back. I love to cruise but haven't gone since going gluten free. I love to read about others experiences so I can make a good cruise line choice when I venture out on the high seas. What cruise line are you going on?

Thanks!

Holland America. This will be our second cruise with them since I went Gluten Free. They are more than understanding and the staff were very helpful. I was brought the dinner menu at least 24 hours in advance so I could make my selections for the following evening. If we ate at the other cafes etc, we just told them, and my bread/noodles were brought up to that table rather than to the main dinning room.

I did not get sick once. All gluten-free meals were available in the main dinning room, and they had gluten-free bread on the breakfast buffet and sandwich bar so I could go there at lunch as well. I only had to fill out a request form ahead of time. The allow me to choose enough bread/pasta/brownies/etc for the duration of the cruise and they had more than enough. There is a small charge if you go over the allowed numbers, but it is minimal.

If you want to know more, feel free to PM me and I will be happy to chat with you.

My family lives just north of Fort Lauderdale in Pompano Beach. When we go there, we have eaten successfully at Pizza Fusion and Smokey Bones. They are both on Federal Highway and would require a taxi ride, though. I'll see if I can find anything out about what's near you.
