Top 12 Gluten-Free Bars to Unwind in Encinitas

Thomas Kirby

The server was amazing. Very understanding of celiac and it sounds like they take it very seriously. She explained to me they use separate utensils and very familiar with what is needed to keep celiacs safe. She said she’s worked there 10 years and no one has got sick on her watch. Sushi was very tasty. Didn’t feel sick after eating here. Would throughly recommend to celiacs!

Here for the first time. Ian serving is. Wine is very well priced for the quality and the food very good especially for us liking Gluten free options which they have many! We have rebooked again later in the week.

I’ve been here 20-30 times. This restaurant is being mismanaged. It used to be great. But now, hit or miss. Menu displays GF symbol prominently and I am gluten free. Awesome! But lately the wait staff often says they’re out of GF bread. Kinda puts a damper on the GF mussels when there’s no bread to sop up the sauce. Last night, the waiter said they were out of GF bread, but then he said he looked and they had some. It wasn’t the yummy flat bread from the last time I was there, but it was something. Makes me wonder if they’re actually out when they say they’re out? The waiter was able to find some after he’d been told there was none. My father ordered a glass of Merlot. The waiter came back saying they didn’t have merlot by the glass. I tried to order beef stroganoff with GF pasta. But they were out of GF pasta. GF pasta is shelf stable. This is just mismanagement. Don’t have a menu that offers GF dishes if you’re not prepared to serve them gluten free. It’s also insane to be unable to order a glass of merlot. C’mon…you’re better than this.

Awesome sauces -- try the gorgonzola sauce. The gluten free pasta is excellent. Good wine list.

The coffee box has yummy gf pasties. We have 3 with celiac in the family and are very sensitive.

Such a great restaurant! The risotto, brussels sprouts, falafel ball, kale salad, salmon, and margaritas were phenomenal! Gluten free and vegetarian, friendly! Love the ambience of the outdoor seating area.

Good beer and gluten reduced so my wife can enjoy them as well!

Forgotten Toaster Waffle

Excellent wine, fantastic food, and safe gluten free food. They understand cross contamination risks. Used to be too loud, but they put in sound absorbing ceiling panels and it is good now.

This is the best neighborhood spot in cardiff! Always great staff behind the counter and friends to belly up with or grab a table! Besides the great peeps I love the gluten free tea they serve! Such a nice option because some of us can't drink beer 🙃

I wish I took photos of my meal but I was too excited to eat it!! I have only been to the Carlsbad location of this restaurant and I was also impressed with my first time at the Leucadia location. We had a nice somewhat older gentleman as our server who was very attentive and informative. I had the gluten free penne pesto pasta and it was easily the best pesto I’ve ever had. My sister and mom split the veal parm (it was a large portion, can very easily be split). We celebrated my mom’s birthday and they were kind enough to bring out a delicious cannoli on the house after our meals. There was great live music going on (woman singing and playing piano). Very impressed and even the gentleman on the way out was very nice.
