Chez Panisse

Incredible experience! Not labeled, but Waiter walked me through everything that is gluten free and even checked with the chef to be sure. Had the pork loin dish - one of the best dishes I’ve ever had!

Chez Panisse has just advised that they refuse to accommodate gluten allergies in the restaurant. If we want to eat there we have to eat in the cafe.

This is the first restaurant of this caliber that I’ve ever encountered such inflexibility. So disappointed.

This legendary restaurant is incredibly accommodating to GF customers. We ate in the upstairs cafe, and the server was extremely knowledgeable about everything on the menu and what could be altered. They were quick to offer me a specially made off-the-menu dish that was GF and vegetarian (and delicious!). My celiac daughter vacuumed up every bite of her halibut. This is a true destination meal, so make a reservation and treat yourself!
