Remember when “gluten-free” was an unfamiliar term? Flash forward to 2021, when grocery stores label everything, even the most obvious non-gluten items (we all know there is no gluten in avocado). All of this is to say: gluten-free food is part of our existence, rightfully normalized, and delicious, too.
For individuals who have celiac disease — when the body’s immune system is allergic to the proteins found in wheat — cooking at home can sometimes seem safer than dining out. The same goes for people who are gluten-intolerant or choose to avoid the ingredient for other health reasons. But celiac or gluten-intolerant individuals need not struggle in finding a wonderful gluten-free menu in Los Angeles. They’re about as prominent as one would expect, and these days, restaurants do far more than gluten-free baked goods. From handmade pasta by a Westside Italian restaurant to an abundance of gluten-free fried chicken, here is a guide to 16 places to eat gluten-free in Los Angeles, presented from north to south.
Note: this map doesn’t indicate whether restaurants use separate facilities/tools for gluten-free dishes; diners should inquire to individual restaurants for specific dietary concerns.
