Many of America’s greatest restaurant chains serve patrons in the Boston area. Click on these restaurant names to find out what is available: Outback Steakhouse, its subsidiary Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Chili’s, Fresh City, and Legal Seafoods.
A gluten free menu is available on Wednesday evenings at The Boynton. This restaurant also serves gluten free pizza and beer daily. To examine this menu, go to the website of the Boston Celiac Support organization. You’ll need to scroll through a lot of general information about gluten free dining to get to this information.
A list of “celiac-friendly restaurants” is available from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center; which is certainly a trustworthy source of reliable information.
Boston may be your home base during a tour of New England. You may be interested in my article "Gluten Free Restaurants in New England" or in my articles about gluten free dining in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts (outside Boston), Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
I hope you enjoy Boston and all of New England! I’m looking forward to my fall leaf peeping tour in early October 2007.
Wagamama’s, the new asian restaurant in Fanueil Hall, offers a couple gluten free options, plus gives you ideas of how to substitute in other dishes. I am not sure if they offer this in the restaurant, as I”ve only ordered take out, but here’s the link with all the info. Enjoy!

New! Gluten-Free beer at The White Horse Tavern in Allston, MA
I was hoping to spread the word to the celiac community in Massachusetts that The White Horse Tavern in Allston, Ma is now carrying the Anheuser-Busch Gluten-free Redbridge beer. They are in the process of changing the menu, and as a server there with celiac I have been encouraging them to offer more for others like myself. As it stands there are no meals on the menu that can be confidently labeled as gluten free; simply due to any contamination obtained from the kitchen. I myself am very sensitive to ingesting gluten and have yet to have experience any symptoms from eating food there; I feel confident in encouraging others on a gluten-free diet to give the White Horse Tavern a shot. In order to encourage more attention to those with GF diets, I strongly believe that it is very important to support businesses which make an effort to cater to this crowd.
And as always, if anyone has any questions I am always there to help!
