Leonore Restaurant

Passing through VA and stopped here because typically arepas etc are gluten free. Called prior to find out about their knowledge of gluten contamination .Knowing that wings were put on a plate and then into the oven I needed to have them. Delicious! Everything I ordered was tasty ! My husband who is not celiac ordered a sandwich which they packed separately also says a lot about how they handle gluten . He also commented on how delicious it was ! Wish I could return for more!

I went with 2 celiac. Almost the whole menu in GF although some is not labeled. I had a GF margarita pizza and and a salad. My son had an arepa type sandwich with pulled beef and my husband had a beef stew. All GF, fresh and delicious! No GF desert but worth the trip. Great service too!

Tried the ‘Reina Pepiada’ Arepas with plantains on the side. Delicious and not too large. Plenty of delicious filling. They offer gluten free pasta and pizza crusts as well.

Limited options for gluten free food but still super delicious! Make sure to ask your waiter if they recommend anything that could be modified to be gluten free (example mussels without the bread).

Tried calling ahead of time and they would not divulge what measures they took to prevent cross-contamination. Very rude service and decided that if they treated someone asking about an allergy like this they probably do not take it seriously.

The Tajadas appetizer was delicious; sweet plantain & nata (salty cream cheese-like). The Arepas were stuffed full and amazing. Gluten friendly and the staff were knowledgeable and helpful with how to make other dishes GF. Lots of options for GF.

The food was soooo good! Most of the Venezulan food is naturally GF so they don't need to take any precautions with it. It was exciting to be able to order from so much of the menu.
