Gluten-free Chinese food in San diego

Gluten-free Chinese food isn’t easy to find. Besides P.F. Changs, there aren’t a lot of restaurants where you can find gluten-free versions of your favorite noodle dishes or entrees such as beef with broccoli and moo goo gai pan. Well, if you live in the San Diego area, you are in luck.

Del Mar’s Rendezvous Chinese Fusion Cuisine is a destination for gluten-free eaters! They have an extensive menu of gluten-free dishes, and also have vegan and vegetarian choices.

They offer koonyaku noodles (in addition to rice noodles). These are actually a Japanese root vegetable, from the taro family. These noodle substitutes are high in fiber, low in calories, and they taste amazing. When you’re anywhere near San Diego, give this place a try.  *Tip: Wednesday and Sunday are half-price wine nights!

Downtown San Diego’s Bice offers Gluten-free pasta

On a recent trip to downtown San Diego, I met up with some of my family who lives there for dinner. We went to Bice, a nice Italian restaurant that has an extensive wine and cheese bar. Being gluten-intolerant, I usually avoid Italian places, but I did a quick scan of the menu beforehand and saw some fish and meat dishes that sounded safe.

The restaurant is modern in design and has a nice bar area. When we were seated, I scanned the menu and noticed on the bottom that gluten-free pasta was available. Great new for me! I ended up ordering the homemade marinated, quick smoked salmon, which was covered with acacia honey and pink peppercorns and served with brussel sprouts for a starter. And for my main, I chose the Capellini alla Cacciatora–or pasta, slowly braised, free-range chicken with wild mushrooms and tomato sauce–gluten-free of course! Both dishes were excellent.

I cannot recommend this place enough for anyone gluten-free in San Diego who wants to dine at an upscale Italian establishment and enjoy pasta.
