I've been coming to this restaurant for about 6 months now. I get sick RIGHT AWAY if I have even the smallest trace of Gluten so I was very excited to try a place where there is no wheat flour in the restaurant. All the other places I've been to in LA have wheat flour in the kitchen and even though they make an effort to accommodate we "GF-ers" it's about a 50/50 proposition as to getting sick or not when I eat at those places and the options are always very limited. At The Addiction I can have EVERYTHING and not worry about being ill afterward. I have explored their entire menu, have loved every dish I've been served, and have never gotten sick. I really can't say enough about how great this place is if you are GF or not. The food is simply fantastic. I discovered their brunch a few months back and have been there every week since...Homemade GF pancakes, chicken and waffles, blueberry muffins...all delicious. While the food here is incredible the one thing I take away with me every time I go is the feeling of reuniting with my humanity. I now have a place I can go where I feel as I did 15 years ago before I was diagnosed as Celiac. I had almost forgotten what that feels like...to be able to walk into a restaurant and be treated like everyone else, to have NO restrictions as to what I can order, to not feel like a kook or a freak, and to not have that nagging concern I may get sick. For this alone I'm eternally grateful for The Addiction Bistro. When you add in the quality of the food and the friendly staff...well...it almost brings me to tears.

Celiac friendly?
