Restaurant Etiquette and Dining Tips: 6 Tips For Dining Out
Be Vocal: Speak with the Manager, chef or server. Introduce yourself, and don't be shy. Let them know you are gluten-intolerant or Celiac and that your meal needs to be prepared a specific way. Explain to the staff that you are gluten-free, that you acan get very sick in their restaurant. The key is to get your special needs conveyed to the chef preparing your meal. If your waiter seems uninterested or doesn't know, then ask to speak with the manager. Yes, this IS necessary.
Ask Questions: Always ask specific questions about any menu item, how something is prepared, if something is floured lightly or deep fried, or if a food is marinated. Any cause for concern-ask away.
Ordering: Order plain, less saucy dishes when dining out at a non gluten-friendly restaurant. The simpler the dish the better off you will be. Ask for your meal to be prepared separately using separate utensils. Your pasta needs to be cooked in pans that have not touched gluten. Most waiters will tell you it will take longer, and that's ok. Ask for your items to be prepared away from gluten items.
Ask about Flour Dusting: Many restaurants use flour to coat poultry and fish as well as fries and other foods. Always ask if there is flour dusted on anything you my be ordering. You can also ask the waiter to confirm with the chef.
Do Not Hesitate: to send back a dish if it is made incorrectly! It is their mistake and they need to be more attentive to your needs. That is their job. You could end up getting super sick! You don't need that!
Thank Your Server:-Remember they are new to this too.

Is there any flour, batter, bread crumbs or breading?
Are the noodles made from rice or wheat?
Are the wontons and dumplings made from wheat?
Is the pan dusted with flour?
Is the tortilla 100 percent corn? And are they made in-house? If so are they fried with contaminated items?
Is the goat cheese fried? crusted with bread crumbs?
Do the buckwheat noodles have any wheat in them?
Not all buckwheat noodles are gluten-free
Does the Quinoa or rice come from a Mix or is it homemade?

Hi Julie! I just wanted to share with you an exciting new gluten-free restaurant called Vien that opened up in the West Village. Everyone in my office has been crazy about it and it's absolutely delicious. It's like an Asian Chipotle where you can customize your bowl with a base of rice, quinoa, salad or noodles. The concept is amazing, food is delicious, I think your gluten-free readers would definitely be interested to know about it! It's located on 220 Varick Street (corner of Varick and Downing. Check out their menu on their website - www.vienrestaurant.com
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie!!
DeleteThank you so much for this wonderful addition!! I am so grateful you found my blog because I had not heard of this new spot. I actually called the restaurant today and spoke with Mark the owner who was so lovely!! And he informed me that everything is 100 percent gluten free (minus the beer). That the kitchen is a dedicated gluten-free facility, including sauces, GF soy sauce etc. That there is no gluten on the premise. Even the oat's they once used were of course certified gluten-free. It was so great getting this information because so many people feel that there are not enough Asian restaurants that are perfect for the Celiac person or even someone with a gluten-related intolerance. So i cannot wait to go and try! I am super excited!! Thanks again!! xx
