Izakaya Meiji Co.

I eat here all the time. It’s one of my favorite places in eugene! Not a crazy extensive gluten free menu but they have a decent amount of options and the food is so tasty. They also let the kitchen know of an allergy which I appreciate as well. I love it here!

This is a lovely and elegant restaurant located in an old home in the heart of the Whitaker neighborhood. It bills itself as “where country meets western” and is basically Japanese pub grub with a seasonal menu served tapas style.

I would say about 60% of the menu is GF and they are really good about keeping things separate if you tell them. Note…the fryer is not dedicated so be sure and lay attn if you are celiac not to get the fried items…even though they say GF.

I love the miso egg so much I have tried recreating it at home (to no avail). Loved the various “skewered things” & the fish. Lots of vegan options too.

They require proof of vaccination for indoor dining. Outdoor is also lovely! No take out
