Re: Visitin San Fran next week and need restaurant recommendations

[Guest guest]

There's a huge Whole Foods Market in the South of Market/Moscone Center area, at 399 4th Street. My celiac teen daughter can always find something there to take out when we're in the city.If you want to splurge, try Roy's, a Hawaiian "fusion" restaurant, on Mission near Second Street. Tell them about the allergies/intolerances, and they'll make her a memorable, delicious meal. You'll like it too!You're welcome.DebbieOn Nov 2, 2006, at 3:27 PM, eatlaunch wrote:Hi all!I'm visiting San Francisco next week with my wife and our teenagedaughter who has the following food issues:Explicit allergies:WheatEggsSugar BeetsCeliacsTraveling is always a challenge, unfortunately.

Check out Café Gratitude in the Mission (they have a website) or in the East Bay

(and I think there is another site as well)

True it is raw vegan, but we can eat the

desserts!!

Hi all!

I'm visiting San Francisco

next week with my wife and our teenage

daughter who has the following food issues:

Explicit allergies:

Wheat

Eggs

Sugar Beets

Celiacs

Traveling is always a challenge, unfortunately. We're going to be

staying at near the Moscone

conference.

Can any of you recommend restaurants in or around that area? I'd

really appreciate your help!

Thank you, Kurt

There's a restaurant called Millenium a little closer to 5th and

Market which is supposed to be really good. I haven't actually eaten

there, but thought I would mention since I've heard such good things.

Touted by vegans I think. Have fun in the city.

I'm highly sensitive to cross-contamination so I feel pretty

comfortable referring you to the restaurants I frequent:

Bistro Aix: (not too convenient location-wise for where you're staying)

http://www.bistroaix.com

Range: (unbelievably good and easy to get to from where you will be)

http://www.rangesf.com

Delfina:

http://www.delfinasf.com

Luna Park:

http://www.lunaparksf.com/

Poggio: (in Sausalito in case you want to take a spin across the bridge)

http://www.poggiotrattoria.com/

Thanks!

Hi Cory -- I've no other recommendations at this time as I'm not in the North Bay very often. At Poggio I get the rotisserie chicken (and I substitute potato puree but not because of gluten issues -- i just happen to like mashed potatoes) and I also get the halibut. Both are excellent. Be sure to save room for dessert -- the lemon mousse is to die for. So far the wait staff have been very helpful. There's a waiter there, , who remembers me when I come in, and doesn't mind when I go through the whole drill with him every time anyway )

I did call Sushi Ran (supposedly the best sushi in the Bay Area) and the chef said he wasn't comfortable serving me. I think he was nervous about the flour and batter for the tempura maybe. I might try again and if I do manage to do so successfully I'll let the list know.

Not exactly North Bay, but one place to avoid is the Dry Creek Kitchen in Healdsburg. It was a comedy of errors there through the whole dinner and in the end I ended up getting glutened with hidden soy sauce anyway. (I knew it tasted too good to be GF...)
