With restaurants embracing gluten-free cooking, it’s easier than ever for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease to dine out in style. Seattle’s gluten-free world is expanding daily, and old staples are increasingly keeping their menus fresh.

Good gluten-free dining can mean pizza, pasta, bread, sweets — everything that seems like it’d be verboten for those avoiding wheat, barley, and rye. While most of the great eats on this list come from truly gluten-free kitchens, some places serving great gluten-free fare do not have dedicated tools. As such, this map denotes which kitchens should be entirely safe and which are great at accommodating. Know of a spot that should be on our radar? Send us a tip by emailing [email protected]. As usual, this list is not ranked; it’s organized geographically.

Itto's Tapas

Copy Link

 With a predominantly gluten-free menu, this West Seattle tapas restaurant, influenced by Spanish and Moroccan cuisine, is an oasis for gluten-free tapas lovers. Start the meal with an intricate cocktail, like the Taza Throb with cardamom bitters, and move on to the plancha grilled beef tenderloin, a house favorite.

This pizzeria, with locations in Greenwood and downtown, is the holy grail of allergen-safe dining. Four separate, distinct menus mean that vegan and celiac friends can finally dine at the same time. Razzi’s kitchen is certified gluten-free (yes, that’s a real thing) and the menu holds a plethora of other gluten-free items, including beers on tap.

The Chicken Supply

Copy Link

Greenwood Filipino fried chicken shop the Chicken Supply is famous for its crackly, skin-shattering gluten-free chicken offerings sold by the piece (stick, wing, drumstick, or thigh). The chicken is marinated in gluten-free soy, lending to its juicy interior and umami flavor profile; the sides, like its tangy pancit and coconut-y collard greens, are also gluten-free, so diners won’t have to pick and choose on what can be eaten on the menu. Pre-order online the day you want to go — the chicken tends to sell out before close.

Umi Sake House

Contrary to popular belief, finding a good gluten-free sushi spot is not always easy, but Umi Sake House in Belltown does the trick. This late-night Belltown destination for sushi, sake, and Japanese whisky offers an impressive list of nigiri and sushi rolls — which include traditional Japanese versions as well as creative American-style specialty rolls like the Dragonfly, made with tempura shrimp, yellowtail, grilled shishito peppers and ghost pepper aioli. Omakase, starting at $50 per person, is also an option. The restaurant also offers more than 60 imported sake options.

Askatu Bakery

Nestled in Belltown, Askatu Bakery serves nut-free and gluten-free lunches, pastries, plus cakes and bread without added guar and xanthan gums. The jackfruit-veggie bao is a warm and savory handheld treat, perfect on the go. Whatever the occasion, Askatu’s nut-free ceci butter cookies are a popular favorite, similar to crisp melt-in-your-mouth Dutch stroopwafels.

Everything on the menu is gluten-free, except postre de maracuya and Pony Malta, a non-alcoholic beverage from Colombia. That makes El Parche a great place for anyone to eat, regardless of gluten sensitivity. The bandeja paisa is reminiscent of a full English breakfast with fried eggs, tenderly cooked pinto beans, shredded beef carne molida, chorizo, arepas, and tajadas maduras (fried sweet plantains). Super-crispy golden-brown empanadas, made with corn dough, are filled with potatoes and cheese or a choice of meats. For dessert, El Parche’s coffee flan tastes like a dense, rich tiramisu.

Cafe Ibex’s menu is not entirely gluten-free; the gluten-free injera (available upon request) is airy and has a light, nutty flavor that pairs well with everything. Ordering a variety of dishes is recommended, and there are many vegetarian options such as misir wot with red lentils or the savory gomen’s spinach. Cafe Ibex’s tibs, a spicy meat stew made with berbere spice, is satisfying and pairs nicely with the gluten-free injera.
