I did love it. Everything was so charming. I loved our waitress. Beautiful atmosphere with heated lamps and pretty lights. Very good gluten-free pasta. Even crayons and paper with activities for the kids. I would have liked more gluten-free variety but what we did order was fine, and even filled me up without meat. (I would've liked meat hahaha). The waitress was very patient, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Great Mexican that caters gluten free and vegan at same time.

Ken Kumayama

A solid choice for breakfast or lunch. Their breakfast dishes are good, but I recommend trying their arepas and chais (there are a few different options). GF-friendly, for folks who are gluten sensitive.

🥂 Tamarine Restaurant & Gallery 📍 546 University Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301 Originally, I just wanted to eat Vietnamese food to cool down because the temperature was rising. But when I entered the restaurant, I found out that it was #Michelin recommended! The appetizer is a four-course platter Tamarine Taste (serves two) Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls, Tea Leaf Beef, Taro Root Rolls, and Papaya Salad. Serves two. Shrimp & Pork Spring Rolls Fresh rice paper rolls filled with shrimp, sous vide pork, bean sprouts lettuce mix, and mint with a hoisin sauce. It contains mint and fish sauce. Taro Root Rolls Vegetarian. Crisp rolls filled with taro root, carrots, mushrooms and glass noodles, served with plum chili sauce. (Cannot be made gluten-free) Vietnamese fried spring rolls Tea Leaf Beef Gluten-free. Ground beef, onion, garlic and tamari wrapped in a wild tea leaf, grilled and served with chili fish sauce. Less commonly seen tea rolls Papaya Salad is paired with something similar to beef jerky, which is a bit salty and hard to understand😣 Tiger Prawns & Garlic Noodles $39 Grilled tiger prawns wok-tossed with egg noodles, Parmesan cheese, oyster sauce, Fresno chile-garlic, & Vietnamese cilantro. The popular garlic noodles, the prawns have been peeled for us to make it easier to eat. Clay Pot Cod $31 Gluten-free. Alaskan black cod caramelized in onion, garlic, black pepper and molasses. Ah Jun loves cod cooking, but it is rare to see this kind of cooking in the United States. Most of them are Japanese miso fish. Service 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 When I made the reservation, I accidentally chose to celebrate my birthday, so I got a sorbet as a gift. The berry and coconut ones are very rich🥥 A high-quality restaurant that I would like to visit again. I haven’t found it before working in #paloalto for almost half a year🤨 #winnie_inbayarea #winnie_eat #infatuation #infatuationsf #bayarea #bayareafood #vietnamfood #vietnamesecuisine #bayareaeats #bayareafoodie #salad #shrimp #noodles #prawn #cod #michelin #birthday #sorbet #San Francisco Food #United States #food #foodie #Vietnamese Food #Bay Area

This place has a great happy hour, nice ambiance, and the Margaritas/chips and salsa are so so good!! Spicy Shrimp and chicks tinga tacos are delicious! A couple gluten and dairy free options (ask for no crema) .. Friendly staff and clean bathrooms! I’m never disappointed with this place!

Love love love. The food is so flavorful and well prepared. The perfect amount of spice. Such a great meal especially with the gluten free options.

I highly recommend trying the gluten-free crust here. It’s a bit smaller, but it’s definitely more flavorful for me and my friends who tried it.

Brad C

Had a wonderful experience here and we loved our waiter francisco. The food was delicious and I loved my chicken marsala done in a gluten-free style.

Rahil Arora

Best sandwiches with gluten free and vegan options.

Ray Finch

The best gluten free pizza I've had.

Miles Alderman

I’ve never been so satisfied with a salad… and they were so good with allergies. Even gluten!

Samir Jain

Barry Snowden

Arrived ahead of schedule and the gluten free pizza was better than I expected

Ben

Delicious but very expensive. Catered for gluten free and vegan at the same time. Great stuff. Thanks

Jackie

A post-Dish hike Palo Alto staple. Love the gluten free granola and thick consistency of the açaí bowl. We go for the gorilla and the trailblazer.

Amir Shevat

Very nice casual family friendly place. Good flavors, big portions, reasonably priced, paleo and gluten free options.

Upscale dining place perfect for special occasions or business meals. The cementum tavuk / chicken skewers was really tasty. Tenderloins were great too. Chilean sea bass was delicious. However portion size for cocktails and wine was less and could be improved we felt in the group. They had recent Grammy winner Jamie Davies playing jazz at the time. So if you’re lucky you might end up listening to your favorite artist too. Would recommend the dumplings 🥟 if you can do red meat, but beware as it can be spicy. You may refer to their event schedule on their website. Definitely recommend the place for food. Lots of street parking available in and around the block. The staff was kind enough to help if any item was gluten free.

Milkshakes. You really don't need to get anything else. I love the chocolate milkshake with added banana or the coffee-flavored one. They are mostly gluten-free, I think. Oh the strawberry one is excellent, too. You can buy little bags of tokens as a gift for friends that are fans of the milkshakes. I wish I was still running so that I could have one every week.
