Gluten Free In Miami, Florida

[Ms. Celiac]

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on gluten free restaurants and/or health food stores in Miami, Florida? I'm going to be visiting the area (specifically South Beach) soon and wanted to make sure I knew of some gluten free places beforehand.

Thanks!

I am not very familiar with the South Beach area, but i do know that there is a Pizza Fusion in teh North Miami area that has gluten-free pizza. When I you coming to Miami? I will try to get more infor from our local celiac support group. you can email me directly at ticap13@bellsouth.net

It has not been my experience that South beach is very celiac friendly, but maybe some of this has changed more recently? In fact, even before I went gluten free, I was never really impressed with much of the food on Lincoln road and some of it on Ocean Drive. However, all of the Publix grocery stores that I've been to have had at least some form of gluten free section, if you'll have access to cooking facilities. If you have a car, as the last poster suggested, Pizza Fusion in North Miami is good, and it's right next to a Publix grocery store. Also in North Miami/Aventura is a P.F. Chang's and a Houston's, both of which can accommodate celiacs. Also, if you'll be staying there a while, there's a Whole Foods just north of the Aventura mall (about 30-40 minutes from South Beach depending on traffic). Also, in Miami Shores (which is north of South Beach), there is a great little restaurant called the Village Cafe--you may want to call ahead to see if they can still accommodate celiacs, but when I was living in Miami Shores, I used to go there all the time for lunch and dinner, and they seemed very knowledgeable about gluten-free issues, and I never got sick eating there.

I heard that "Pasha's" in Miami beach has a gluten-free menu. Other than that I was told the usual- ask the waiter, speak to the chef, steak houses are usually a good option, etc... If I come across more information I will keep you posted.
