Philly Gluten-Free Friendly Restaurants?

Hello-

We're traveling to Philly for my cousin's graduation from Bryn Mawr this weekend. We'll be staying in King of Prussia, but will have a car. Any recommendations for gluten-free friendly restaurants? My son is 3 and has Celiac Disease, so ideally the restaurant is semi-kid friendly.

Thanks!

Check out the restaurants listed on the Gluten Free Philly website.

Also, I recently wrote to Varalli, an Italian restaurant on Broad Street near the theaters, and received the following reply:

We can accommodate your special diet. Just inform us of your dietary restriction when making your reservation. We hope to see you soon.

Hi Brooklyn,

Yes! If you'll be in the King of Prussia area (I used to work there),the area has a large number of chain restaraunts in the area that have gluten free menus and items, like Uno's. And you'll be within a short drive of a lot of other places. (Just beware of I-76 and driving that road around dinner time - you'll be in a parking lot). But definitely check out the site Ken posted. That'll get you off the beaten path.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese s...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Kirkland brand (at Costco) is gluten-free and is 2,000 IU.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also...

I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.
