theBEAT/The Edit/Celiac-Friendly · Washington, DC

Celiac-Friendly dishes in Washington, DC, with receipts.

Dishes from kitchens that publish a dedicated gluten-free facility or a written cross-contact protocol — a different and higher bar than a gluten-free menu.

All 8 carry a published first-party source — the venue’s own material or a named supervising authority, with the page and the date we read it. The 6 highest-rated are below with their sources; the other 2 are in the app.

Read this first. Each line below records what the venue itself published, on the date shown — it is not a certification and not a guarantee, and we do not call kitchens. Menus, suppliers and kitchens change after we read them. Confirm with the restaurant before you order — always, and especially for an allergy that can send you to hospital or an observance you keep. And ask specifically about cross-contact: a source can tell us what is in a dish and still tell us nothing about a shared fryer, grill or prep surface. Unless a venue publishes a dedicated facility or a written cross-contact protocol, assume shared equipment and say so when you order.

The other 2 are in the app.

We publish a sample here — enough to show you exactly how a receipt works and to let you check one yourself. The full celiac-friendly list for Washington, DC, every other dietary lens we carry, and the filters that combine them live in the app, which is free to install and free to browse.

Every dish here earned its place by publishing something we could read and store. We do not label a dish because it looks right, and we do not write down what a kitchen tells us on the phone. When a venue publishes nothing, the dish stays an open question rather than a quiet green — which is why our lists are shorter than they could be, and why the part that is here holds up.
