Have any restaurants to add to this list or a review of one of these restaurants? Let us know in the comments below!
I know of a personal chef in Florida that cooks gluten free, and is amazing! – a great option if you live or vacation in the Orlando area. His name is Shane Frisco. He specializes in dinners for two but I assume would probably do other types of requests too. I put his address with this comment but just in case it doesn’t go through, here it is again, http://www.ShaneFrisco.com.
Ok the web address did go through, but made my name a link to his site. Now it looks like his site is my site and I don’t know how to change it. 🙁
Some other chains in Orlando with GF options:
Bonefish Grill on Sand Lake Rd
Whole Foods in Winter Park
Chamberlains in Winter Park and Dr. Phillips
PF Changs at Millenia Mall
Pei Wei on Turkey Lake Rd and E Colonial
Sonny’s Barbeque
Outback Steakhouse (Chocolate Thunder from Down Under is made with a wheat free brownie)
Pizzeria Uno now has excellent GF pizza.
Tijuana Flats enchiladas are very GF friendly
Qdoba naked burrito
5 Guys Fries are in a dedicated fryer – bring your own bun and tell them you have a wheat allergy and they’ll change their gloves
About two months ago a blood test discovered that my problems for the past two years have probably been caused by allerigies to corn, wheat, sesame, peanuts and walnuts. I get sick when I eat beef or pork, so I feel like my food world is closing in on me!!
I wonder what beers people have found to be friendly to a limited diet? And if a beer is made with wheat, is it really enough to make a difference if you’re not anaphylactic? I’m 36 and though glad to be feeling better, missing some of my old favorite snacks and beverages!
Redbridge Beer is pretty good 160 calories and GF

Don’t forget Pizza Fusion…they have awesome pizza and GF brownies! And, there’s a GF bakery , called Liberty Bakery, in Oviedo that has great french bread, pastries, cookies, etc. Also, Carabbas has a pretty good GF menu.
A few months back I ate at Seasons 52 on Sand Lake Road. Evan our server was very helpful, as well as the chef was very co operative in helping me select a gluten free meal. Had lamb and two very fresh vegetables and everything was very tasty. I will go back there again the next time I am in Orlando
Stop by our new bistro, The Entire Menu is Gluten Free, Organic, Vegan, Living, and Non GMOs!
