Restaurants - Celiac Friendly
Boston has a growing number of dining establishments that are catering to those on the gluten free diet. The Celiac Center is providing this list as a useful resource in finding "celiac friendly" locations; however, the hospital is not endorsing any particular establishment. This list was revised as of April 2009. Please check back periodically for new additions.
Found a good celiac-friendly restaurant? We would love to hear about it. Please contact: Melinda Dennis mdennis@bidmc.harvard.edu)
