Brasserie Liberté brings a rare kind of peace of mind—it's a dedicated gluten-free facility right in the heart of Georgetown. You can finally settle in for a proper French meal without that gnawing worry about cross-contact, and honestly, that's something celiacs just don't get to say often enough. Their menu is loaded with classic comfort—think steak frites, croquettes, and even crusty bread—all made safe for us, right down to the fryer and kitchen tools. If you've been missing out on French bistro fare (hello, crème brûlée!) because of gluten fears, this spot delivers freedom on a plate—no side of anxiety required.

American

The Grill offers a rare sense of calm for celiacs—it's a 100% gluten-free facility, so you can let your guard down and actually enjoy the meal instead of interrogating every dish. The menu reads like a love letter to classic American favorites, with crab cakes, steak, and that legendary baked cheese—all safe by design. Staff are well-versed in celiac needs, and their allergen protocols shine through attentive service, even if the fryer situation has varied over time (always worth confirming specifics on fried items). It's the kind of place where you don't just eat—you relax, laugh, and savor dessert without a second thought.

Pow Pow brings a breath of fresh air to the DC plant-based scene, especially for gluten-free folks craving something bold and satisfying. While it’s not a dedicated gluten-free facility, the kitchen takes celiac concerns seriously—think clearly marked menu items, a dedicated gluten-free fryer (hello, crispy fries and fried vegan chicken!), and staff who genuinely know their stuff. There are whispers that someone behind the scenes has a personal connection to celiac disease, which always sets my mind a little more at ease. If you’re tired of salads being your only safe bet, Pow Pow’s hearty bowls and inventive flavors might just restore your faith in fast-casual dining—just don’t be shy about double-checking cross-contact protocols when you order.
