Top 4 Gluten-Free Seafood Spots to Discover in Northwest Washington

Maura Postlethwait

I love Oyamel one of my favorites in the city. When I told our bartender I had celiac he checked and they were able to make celiac safe tortilla chips so I could enjoy the guac. I was so excited. It seemed like if you have celiac and a real allergy they fry some ahead of time so the oil is safe or they can easily fry them a different way either way I was pumped. Aside from that their tacos and everything are amazing!

We planned our entire day around eating here because we saw the excellent reviews and the extensive gluten free menu, so we were very disappointed to discover that their kitchen has been closed since October. The website needs to be updated to reflect this so other travelers don’t make the same mistake.

Lots of choices. Great for large-scale groups with all kinds of dietary needs including gluten free options

Great option if you are gluten free! The food is fantastic and the employees are knowledgeable. It’s not really a sit down restaurant, you order at the counter and bus your own place, but it’s real food, sourced from local fishermen.

We enjoyed a great dinner at Joe's. We were able to get a last-minute reservation while in town for one night. The food was excellent, but the service was top-notch, and I would give our server, Jeffery, 10 stars if I could. First, they were extremely accommodating with my extensive food allergies. My son and husband have no food allergies, so they got to enjoy a lot more than me. I opted for the grilled seafood platter that came with scallops, lobster, and shrimp and for a side sautted mushrooms. Everything was made gluten-free, also dairy, soy, peanut, and treenut free. It was hearty and delicious and I don't often enjoy a meal so much, especiallyseafood. It's hard to find places that can accommodating me. My son got filet with crab Oscar and my husband a ribeye with bearnaise. They shared a mashed potatoe and a lobster mac. Jeffery was attentive and funny, and we enjoyed his stories. It made the experience even better. We are looking forward to eating there again next time we are in town.

A beautiful restaurant with amazing views and delicious food. The staff were very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Two members of the party are gluten intolerant so this was very helpful. The drinks were also tasty!

Loved this dining experience! Nigiri was perfect and room temp, which made it melt in your mouth. We got the panna cotta dessert at the end, too, which was the perfect amount. All gluten-free! Chefs were lovely ☺️

Literally the best ever. I'm a gluten-free pescatarian who loves soul food and this place is spot on! Collard greens good, corn pudding sweet and savory and the fish, fried to perfection! The cheesecake really made my day!!! Soo good!

Outstanding fish restaurant - traditional place in a nice residential neighborhood with a really elegant but friendly feel. Love the fresh fish market ambiance as you walk in but the tables in the back behind the wine cellar are just so cool - a quiet, intimate feel beyond the hustle and bustle of DC. Then the service started which was first rate - very knowledgeable and attentive server, described what’s on the menu and what’s special and the goes on to say they can make almost anything they have anyway we want - we tested her on that and she did exactly what she said. And then the food started to come out - first the bread which was hot baked and stunningly good. She had remembered one of our guests was gluten free so before we could ask she brought an amazing gluten free bread substitute for our guest. Then the seafood tower came out - oysters, shrimp, scallops, crab, lobster salad, poke - all delicious. All to be outdone by the main courses - highlights were the sea bass and the halibut. The deserts were a nice way to finish - not quite as great as the fish but still very good. Great cocktails, an even better wine selection not outrageously priced - all in all a fantastic meal and experience.

We were a party of three with one party member having vegan/gluten free dietary restrictions (I called ahead to advise). Everyone has an exceptional experience...food, service, and ambiance. My companion with dietary had an eggplant dish and my other companion had the smoked salmon and scrambled egg dish (both parties want to return for more). We will be back... thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Cheers!
