Seattle Restaurants

This page is dedicated to informing the public about restaurants in the Seattle area, and their features. I am most interested in whether they have a gluten free menu and other paleo-friendly options.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have an update or addition for a particular restaurant.

—————————————————————————————————————–

    Local Gluten Free Menus: These restaurants have a special gluten free menu. This doesn’t necessarily mean they are paleo friendly but 9/10 times you can find something good. If they are especially good, I will duel list in the section below.

    • Duke’s Chowder House
    • Romio’s Pizza & Pasta
    • Tango
    • Ten Mercer
    • Portage Bay Cafe

    National Gluten Free Menus:

    • Outback Steakhouse

    Local Paleo Friendly (Casual) (Allergen status unconfirmed. This is mainly a list of restaurants where you can meat + veggies without any obvious offenders.)

    • Amante’s Pizza & Pasta: They offer HUGE paleo friendly salads and are very easy about substituting. They also have a special “low carb” menu with large portions of baked meat and vegetables covered in cheese.
      Low Carb Menu Salad Menu
    • Romio’s Pizza & Pasta: A large selection of “no dough” pizzas and “no pasta” pasta dishes, again basically meat, vegetables, and cheese if you want it. Also dairy free options.
      Low Carb Menu
    • Duke’s Chowder House: Very big salads, fish, and meat options.
    • Gordito’s Healthy Mexican: Low carb option to remove tortilla, beans, and rice and add in more meat, vegetables, and guacamole
    • Protein Planet: The name says it all…various options. Not very tasty but a solid quick lunch takeout option.
    • Greenlake/ Eastlake/ Lake Forest / Crossroads Bar & Grill: All locations have the same menu. Salmon with a side of carrots and broccoli. Sub the mashed potatoes for excellent sweet potato fries or double veggies. Menu
    • Sonrisa Modern Mexican: Fajitas – shrimp, chicken, or steak, sautéed with onions and peppers. Served with pico de gallo, guacamole and salad.
    • Portage Bay Cafe: Awesome brunch selection
    • La Cocina & Cantina: All you can eat Mexican buffet. Many, many options.
    • Lunchbox Laboratory: Build your own, bun-less burgers available.
    • Table 219: Steak, bacon deviled eggs, and more

    Local Paleo Friendly (Fine-Dining) (Allergen status unconfirmed. This is mainly a list of restaurants where you can meat + veggies without any obvious offenders.)

    • Ipanema Brazilian Grill: Rodizio” means you pay a fixed price and get 9-19 (lunch vs dinner) different cuts of meat that have been slow roasted over charcoal grills. They slice a bit off on your plate, and it keeps coming. You go until you are satisfied.
    • Novilhos: Same idea as Ipanema. Little bit more expensive. Little bit tastier.
    • Bistro Turkuaz: Various meat options
    • Ray’s Boathouse: Excellent seafood options
