The Denver recently published a great article “Area Caters to Gluten Free Palates” which includes at least 20 recommendations for eating gluten free in Denver and the surrounding area. I’ve requested the newspaper’s permission to republish it on my site, but I suggest that you click on the title to download it now. Newspaper archives often do not remain on-line for very long.

      Deby’s Gluten Free Bakery and Café (yes, I spelled the name correctly) is probably the most widely recommended celiac friendly establishment in the area. There are branches in Denver, Highlands Ranch. Erie, and even as far away as Casper, Wyoming. I have eaten some of the great foods they distribute on-line. I wonder how they’ll taste fresh from the source.

     Beau Jo’s Colorado Style Pizza has six locations in Colorado and uses pizza crust supplied by Deby’s Gluten Free Bakery and Café. The link will take you directly to their gluten free menu.

   Wholly Tomato will prepare any of their fine sandwiches on gluten free soda bread.

     The Rheinlander Bakery has a dedicated facility for preparing their gluten free products. They also package mixes that they refer to as “Bake it Yourself Cakes”. I like that attitude!

    Abrusci’s claims to serve “the best damned Italian food…period”.  All that plus a gluten free menu — what else could we ask for?

    Twenty restaurants in the Denver area qualified for the Gluten Intolerance Groups Gluten Free Restaurants Program.  Click here for complete information. P.F. Changs has four locations in the area; gluten free dining is always available there.

 Denver looks like a great place to live gluten free. Someday I hope to experience these restaurants in person rather than depending on the internet for information. I’d love to hear from people who have actually experienced these places as well as those who have other places to recommend.
