Whether you’ve eliminated gluten from your diet by choice or necessity, dining out can be a challenge. Many restaurants offer only a few gluten-free options, if any—and often even well-meaning servers aren’t quite sure what qualifies as gluten-free. Thankfully, many restaurants are becoming more attentive to diners with special dietary needs. Nowadays, there are even delicious alternatives for pizza lovers. Below, you’ll find some helpful advice on dining out when you’ve eliminated gluten from your diet.

3 Tips for Finding Gluten-Free Dining Options

1. Check Out the Menu Before You Go

Look for restaurants that offer stand-alone gluten-free menus, or options that may be prepared without gluten. Smartphone apps may help you locate restaurants with delicious gluten-free menu items for every craving, from pizza to pancakes. Look for the letters “GF” beside descriptions to identify your options.

2. Patronize Restaurants That Offer Gluten-Free Options

Restaurants that take the time and effort to create delicious and safe dishes for gluten-intolerant diners are more likely to be cognizant of and attentive to your dietary concerns. Reward them and encourage them to expand their offerings by visiting them often and leaving positive reviews.

3. Talk to Your Server, Chef, or Restaurant Manager

Always communicate to your server when you first sit down that you have an intolerance or allergy to gluten and that you’ll need to avoid any foods that include wheat, rye, barley, and most oats. Emphasize that this includes breading, sauces, or seasonings as well as primary ingredients. If your server seems unclear on the contents of a specific menu item, ask to speak with the chef or the manager.
