Gluten Free Guide to California and Las Vegas: Part 2 - San Francisco

So only a few months since the last instalment... I've made a vow to get quicker at blogging, wish me luck! If anyone can tell me a quick way of getting photos from icloud to blogger, I'd appreciate it.

Here's part 2 of my whistle stop tour of places to eat gluten free in California. First up San Francisco:

Tony's Pizza
This place was busy so we had a little wait but it was well worth it! It was referendum night in the UK and we were watching on with dread as news came through that we would no longer be EU citizens. Luckily amazing gluten free pizza was on the way! It was even fantastic cold the next day before going to a ball game.

Fog Harbour Fish House
After spending the morning on Alacatraz, we headed to Pier 39 at Fisherman's Wharf for a bite to eat and found Fog Harbour Fish House. Fantastic seafood and very accommodating for gluten free too. Fresh oysters and crab and a tuna steak and prawns all beautifully cooked.

Copita, Sausalito
Biking over the Golden Gate bridge was well worth it and at the other side is a fantastic town called Sausalito. We had some incredible mexican food at a place called Copita. Delicious gluten free tacos and the best guacamole I've ever had!

The Pub at Ghiradelli Square
Baked wings at the Pub at Ghiradelli Square
For an all out American feast the pub is the place to go. We definitely over ordered, we should have paid more attention to the look our server gave us! Ribs, brisket, pulled pork - it's all about the BBQ. We started with some baked chicken wings and then all had duo's where you can pick 2 meats and 2 sides!


Proposition Chicken
San Fran really is a treat for gluten free eaters and no more so than Proposition Chicken. Crispy, crunchy, seasoned deep fried chicken of the sorts that coeliacs can usually only dream of! Go for a side of deep fried brussel sprouts too.

Ben Thai Cafe
Final night in San Fran and we headed out for a Thai meal. Tasty classic thai dishes were serve at Ben Thai Cafe and they were good at handling allergies.
