Indoor and outdoor seating is available, and you don't need to worry about advance dining reservations, because Nomad Lounge only accepts walk-ins. We like to arrive at Nomad Lounge right before they open at 11:30, but on both days we visited Disney's Animal Kingdom, they opened at 11:00. </div><span></span><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSd3eRceqeJ-B7dWK7kwryWLFUXA0wpoMWHB65I6ITCCB3T1jjX4iX08Gi06ENr9P8SdGWBeYKWpxz-b6OJjCTl5m0mCUiCfRDmn5Tmx1x0O3lHSH0inU5OvytoA_i67IHbPPTPkJvuiya/s2048/IMG_4428.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSd3eRceqeJ-B7dWK7kwryWLFUXA0wpoMWHB65I6ITCCB3T1jjX4iX08Gi06ENr9P8SdGWBeYKWpxz-b6OJjCTl5m0mCUiCfRDmn5Tmx1x0O3lHSH0inU5OvytoA_i67IHbPPTPkJvuiya/s640/IMG_4428.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When we visit Disney World over Thanksgiving Break, we usually sit outside, but in the summer, we like to take advantage of the air conditioning.

All major allergens are noted on their menu, which you can view on Frontera Cocina's website <b><a href="http://www.fronteracocina.com/menu/food/" target="_blank">here</a></b>.<br />

My husband ordered chips and salsa for us to share. I had a few chips, which are made in a dedicated fryer, with the herby salsa verde, but I did not eat too many, because I did not want to fill up on chips before the rest of our food arrived.<br />

The queso fundido is served with warm corn tortillas. We like the queso dip at <b><a href="https://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2019/06/jock-lindseys-hangar-bar-disney-springs.html" target="_blank">Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar</a></b> in Disney Springs, and the queso fundido at La Hacienda de San Angel in Epcot, but Frontera Cocina's is our favorite. You can also order it with chorizo, which we have never tried, because we love it as is,<br />

For an entree, my husband and I shared the Carne Asada with red chile-marinated Creekstone Black Angus steak, black beans refritos with cotija cheese, caramelized plantains with queso fresco, tomatillo salsa, and warm corn tortillas. You can also add mojo garlic grilled shrimp to this dish. Our steak was cooked perfectly, and I really enjoyed it with the tomatillo salsa. I am usually not a fan of black beans, but the black beans refritos with cotija cheese were really good.<br />

Our two favorite side dishes at Frontera Cocina are the arroz con plantains (white rice with plantains and cilantro) and the fried plantains with cotija cheese, minus the crema. My daughters shared an order of the rice with plantains in July, but because plantains were included with our entree, my husband and I decided to skip the plantains with cotija on this visit.<br />

Frontera Cocina also makes great guacamole. The mango guacamole in the photo is from one of our trips to Disney World last summer. It is not currently on the menu, but you can still order verde guacamole and bacon guacamole.<br />

I regretted not ordering dessert at Frontera Cocina, because I did not enjoy the mini bundt cake I bought after dinner at Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC in Disney Springs. Frontera Cocina offers Mexican vanilla soft serve and ancho chile chocolate soft serve, which I would have loved mixed together. </div>

Overall, we had a great meal and great service at Frontera Cocina, and we were happy with the social distancing inside the restaurant. Dining outside is also an option. We did save 20% off our meal with our Tables in Wonderland card.<br />

You can read more about Frontera Cocina, make advance dining reservations, and view their menu and hours on <b><a href="https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/disney-springs/frontera-cocina/" target="_blank">Disney's website</a></b>. We usually use OpenTable to make advance dining reservations for Frontera Cocina, and I recommend using Frontera Cocina's website to view their <b><a href="http://www.fronteracocina.com/menu/food/" target="_blank">menu</a>, </b>because they note major allergens in each dish.<br />

We have dined at Morimoto Asia many times since it opened in The Landing area of Disney Springs in 2015. Like the restaurants in the Italy Pavilion at Epcot, and The Edison, Maria & Enzo's and Enzo's Hideaway at Disney Springs, Morimoto Asia is run by the Patina Group, which does a great job accommodating its gluten free customers.<br />

Because they are not Disney-owned and operated, Morimoto Asia does not have an allergy-friendly menu, but dishes with an asterisk on the menu are naturally gluten free, or can be modified to be gluten free.<br />

For a starter, my family and I shared an order of the Morimoto Gomuku fried rice with chicken, pork, shrimp, and vegetables. I had the duck left off, and the house sambal sauce served on the side. We all loved the fried rice with a side of the apricot sweet chili sauce we requested. I like spicy food, but the sambal sauce was too spicy for me.<br />

Our server talked me into trying the the Morimoto Buri-Bop, a dish chef Morimoto won Iron Chef with. Morimoto Buri-Bop is a Korean style yellowtail rice bowl, served in a hot clay pot, finished with egg yolk. I was a little worried about the fish, because I am not a huge fan of tuna, but when our server mentioned that the Buri-Bop is a little bit sweet and a little bit spicy, I had to try it, because I love sweet and spicy Asian food.<br />

My parents both ordered the Buri-Bop too, and loved it. We each had our own server prepare it table-side for us, searing the fish on the hot clay pot, and mixing the raw egg in with the rice. I seared my yellowtail on both sides, because I do not like raw fish. I was told to let my rice cook for a bit in the hot pot, so it would get crispy.<br />

I would not say that I loved this dish, but I really liked it, and I am glad I tried it. I think if it had been served with a different kind of fish, I would have enjoyed it more. Not pictured is the sauce served on the side, which added a little sweetness to this dish. I preferred the fried rice, but would order both dishes again on future visits.<br />

Dessert options at Morimoto Asia were limited to vanilla and chocolate gelato, due to the pandemic, so we walked down to Amorette's Patisserie. I did not plan on having dessert with my family, but after talking to a chef, I felt safe ordering her favorite dessert, the Amorette's Rose, which features a chocolate biscuit with dark chocolate mousse, and raspberry sauce, which is in the center of the dessert. My daughters and I ordered the same dessert, and loved it. In some ways, it reminded me of the African triple chocolate mousse at Sanaa, which also features a gluten free chocolate biscuit on the bottom. The Amorette's Rose was one of the best desserts I had at Disney World during our trip in July.<br />

Overall, we enjoyed our dining experience at Morimoto Asia. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was great, the food was delicious, and we were happy with the social distancing of tables. I was also happy that we saved 20% with our Tables in Wonderland card. If you are going to dine at Disney Springs, I suggest visiting during the work week, when it is not as crowded. We also found crowd levels much lower in the early evening around 5:00, when we like to dine.<br />

I mobile ordered our meal in the My Disney Experience app. If you do not see allergy-friendly options listed, click on "See All Categories" or keep scrolling to check for allergy-friendly choices. You can not mobile order if you have more than one food restriction, and not all quick service restaurants at Disney World have allergy-friendly options available for mobile order in the app. In the theme parks, you should be able to mobile order gluten free options at most quick service restaurants, but at the resorts, plan on talking to a manager or a chef. Talking to a manager is always an option at the theme parks. Just speak to the cast member guarding the door, and yes, cast members are literally guarding the doors to quick service restaurants during the pandemic. They want to make sure people do not enter restaurants until their food is ready, but I was allowed to enter restaurants when I needed to speak to a manager or chef before placing my order.<br />

When you mobile order, confirm with the manager or chef that delivers your food that it is gluten free. Allergy sticks and different color trays seem to be standard at quick service restaurants in the theme parks.<br />

I took this photo on my iPad this morning at home. You do not have to be at Disney World to see the allergy-friendly options that are available to mobile order. In the app, click on Mobile Food Orders, then Create a New Order, then choose the restaurant you are interested in, so you can see their menu options. You can also view gluten free options at quick service restaurants on Disney's website, on specific restaurant pages, if allergy-friendly menus are available.<br />

On this visit, I decided to order the Southwest Salad, a dish I have been eating at Backlot Express since we moved to Orlando in 2008. To accompany it, I also ordered chicken strips and fries, which I shared with my family. My husband and daughters split two orders of the Tatooine Two Suns Hummus, which is not gluten free, because it is served with pita bread.<br />

I really liked the black bean relish and the vinaigrette dressing served on the salad. I cut up my chicken tenders and put them on top of my salad, which was a great way to eat it. As far as the fries go, they were your typical Disney fries that I am so thankful to be able to order, since I so seldom find french fries made in a dedicated fryer in California. I definitely prefer the gluten free chicken nuggets I had at <b><a href="http://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2019/06/pinocchio-village-haus-magic-kingdom.html" target="_blank">Pinocchio Village Haus</a></b> in the Magic Kingdom, and <b><a href="http://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2020/07/primo-piatto-disneys-riviera-resort.html" target="_blank">Primo Piatto</a></b> at Disney's Riviera Resort, but I did enjoy my chicken tenders at Backlot Express.<br />

Overall, we all enjoyed our lunches, and will probably dine at Backlot Express again when we return to Disney World in November and December. Indoor and outdoor seating is available, and we found the tables to be socially distanced well.<br />

Beaches & Cream Soda Shop is a boardwalk-style ice cream parlor, and it recently underwent a renovation, so the restaurant is much larger than it used to be, and we were happy with the social distancing of tables.<br />

Definitely make advance dining reservations when your booking window opens if you want to dine at Beaches & Cream. It is a very popular restaurant, and reservations can be hard to come by. The To Go window was open when we visited, but I forgot to take a picture of the menu.<br />

We ate a pretty big lunch at Disney's Hollywood Studios earlier in the day, so my husband and I decided to split an Angus beef burger with cheddar, and fries. Beaches & Cream now has a dedicated fryer in the restaurant, which was not the case before the renovation.<br />
<br />

<br />
Yes, there is a gluten free bun hidden underneath the burger, and the lettuce & tomato, and it was very good. I loved my Angus burger, which was the only hamburger I ate at Disney World during our two week trip. I liked it so much, I regretted splitting it with my husband. The fries were just ok though, and I found myself wishing that I had ordered a side of watermelon instead. I am just not a fan of most thick cut fries, so I would skip them the next time we dine at Beaches & Cream.<br />

I had recently read in the Facebook group <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/448115108907206" target="_blank">Gluten Free Disney</a></b> that allergy-friendly desserts were no longer being made in the back at Beaches & Cream, and that there was a risk of cross contamination. Our server Matt told me that they no longer have to make allergy-friendly desserts in the back because of their bigger kitchen up front, and he assured me that I did not have to worry about my ice cream being scooped from a container where there could be cross contamination with gluten.<br />

The No Way Jose sundae is not listed on the allergy-friendly menu, but I have never had a problem ordering it at Beaches & Cream. It features chocolate and vanilla ice cream, peanut butter and chocolate morsels, peanut butter and hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry.<br />

<br />
On this visit, I asked that my sundae be made with vanilla ice cream with dairy, with no chocolate ice cream. I was a little shocked when it came out, because it did not look like what I am used to. The presentation is usually pretty spectacular, but they are now serving the No Way Jose in a banana sundae boat, because they are short on the big glasses they used to use.<br />
<br />

<br />
Even though it was not very pretty, my No Way Jose Sundae tasted great, and it was the perfect ending to a magical trip. I did share it with my husband, who also ate part of our daughters' sundae as well. Overall, we had a great meal at Beaches & Cream Soda shop. We loved the decor of the renovated restaurant, and the service was great.<br />

Skipper Canteen's allergy-friendly menu lists options for people with gluten/wheat, milk, egg, soy, fish/shellfish, and peanut/tree nut allergies. If gluten/wheat is listed under a dish on the menu, it does not contain gluten. I was given a paper menu on our first visit, but on my birthday, our server told us that everything on the menu can be made gluten free except the cachapas appetizer, and a few desserts.<br />

On our first visit, I shared an order of the Falls Family Falafel with my family. This appetizer is always consistently good, and I love the edamame hummus it is served with.<br />

I am a fan of the Dr. Falls' Signature Grilled Steak and the Sustainable Fish, but on both visits this summer, I ordered my favorite entree at Skipper Canteen, the Tastes Like Chicken Because It Is. This crispy fried chicken is naturally gluten free, and it is served with jasmine rice and seasonal vegetables. I find the chili glaze that comes with this dish to be too overpowering and often salty, so I asked for it on the side, along with a side of sweet and sour sauce, which is way better with the chicken and rice.<br />

We were super sad that two of our favorites at Skipper Canteen were off the menu this summer. We love the secret menu Brazilian cheese bread, and the Quick Sand dessert, which you can read about in my <b><a href="https://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2019/10/jungle-navigation-co-ltd-skipper.html" target="_blank">previous review</a></b>.<br />

I was happy though, to see another interesting gluten free dessert on the menu. Panna-Connie's Congo Lime Delight features lime panna cotta served with mango-lime sorbet, fresh fruit, and a Brazil nut cookie, which I think was the crumble on top. Overall, a very good dessert, and a fun mix of flavors and textures.<br />

We had originally only planned to visit the Magic Kingdom twice during my 50th birthday trip, but the day before my birthday, I switched our theme park reservation from Hollywood Studios to the Magic Kingdom, because our best park days were definitely the ones we spent in the Magic Kingdom, and I wanted to have my birthday lunch at Skipper Canteen. We love the Magic Kingdom, but normally, wait times for attractions can be very long, but that was not the case during the pandemic in July. The longest we waited for any ride on our three visits was 35 minutes for Splash Mountain.<br />

Here is is folks, the back side of the Tastes Like Chicken Because It Is! Sorry, I just can't help myself...lol. We all ordered sides of the sweet and sour sauce on this visit, and skipped the chili glaze. That breading on the chicken is just so heavenly! I know a lot of people like to go to 50's Prime Time Cafe in Disney's Hollywood Studios for gluten free fried chicken, but the fried chicken at Skipper Canteen is so much better, and it is naturally gluten free, and there is no need to pre-order it.<br />

<br />
For dessert, I decided to switch things up a bit. The Monkey Bites, a dessert on the kids menu, is gluten free, but I am not a fan of chocolate covered bananas, so I asked our server if I could get the Monkey Bites with caramelized bananas instead, which are part of the the Kungaloosh dessert. My modified dessert consisted of caramelized bananas, whipped cream, gluten free pistachio sponge cake, and mini meringues. The meringues, and the bananas with the whipped cream were delicious. The cake was a little dry, but also good. Overall, a fun birthday dessert!<br />

I mobile ordered lunch for the girls in the My Disney Experience app, but the only gluten-friendly item listed was the Roasted Endorian Chicken Salad, which I did not want to order, because I do not like ranch dressing. </div>

<br />
While I was in the app, I also looked at gluten-friendly options on Docking Bay 7's breakfast menu. If you have celiac, I suggest you talk to a chef before ordering the Tuggs' Overnight Oats. I have never found a restaurant at Disney that uses certified gluten free oats.<br />
<br />

<br />
When we arrived at the restaurant, I asked to speak to a manager about gluten free options, because I knew from previous visits, that other dishes on the menu could be modified to be gluten free. The manager took me inside the restaurant and brought out a chef for me to speak to. He recommended the Felucian Kefta and Hummus garden spread, minus the pita. The chef said he was also able to modify the pot roast to be gluten free, with different sides and no gravy.<br />
<br />

<br />
I ended up choosing the Smoked Kaadu Pork Ribs after the chef said the sauce was slightly sweet and spicy, a combo I love. The cabbage slaw it is served with is gluten free, and not mayonnaise based. It had a nice vinegar based dressing on it that I enjoyed. The ribs were good, but I definitely had to pick through a lot of small bones while eating them with a fork and a knife.<br />
<br />

<br />
The blueberry corn muffin the ribs are usually served with is not gluten free, so I chose a side of vegetable mashed potatoes instead. The mashed potatoes contained peas and corn, and they were the perfect side to eat with my ribs.<br />
<br />

<br />
As I mentioned before, I mobile ordered for the girls, but could have ordered their food when I placed my order inside the restaurant. Three of the girls ordered the Endorian Fried Chicken Tip Yip, which is not gluten free, and really enjoyed it. My daughter Emma ordered the Batuuan Beef Pot Roast, but thought it was just ok, because it did not have enough sauce on it. She did not order the gluten free version without gravy. The chef told me that if I ordered the pot roast, he would add some pan drippings to it to replace the gravy.<br />

We were happy with the social distancing of the tables inside Docking Bay 7, and we observed cast members cleaning neighboring tables after other guests left. Both tables and chairs were wiped down well between parties.<br />

During the pandemic, menus at Disney World restaurants are limited. I never had trouble finding something to eat, but it was disappointing at times to see favorite menu items disappear. When we dined at Docking Bay 7 over Thanksgiving Break, I ordered the Surabat Shrimp & Noodle Salad with chilled shrimp, marinated sweet potato noodles, and vegetables.<br />
<br />

<br />
I enjoyed this dish, but much preferred the version I had at <b><a href="http://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2019/10/disneyland-fall-2019.html" target="_blank">Disneyland</a></b> last fall, because it had a sweeter sauce on it. I was really disappointed that I was not able to eat the Outpost Popcorn Mix at Star War's Galaxy's Edge, because of closures. This is my favorite popcorn at Disney World, with the maple popcorn at the Canada Pavilion in Epcot coming in a close second. I love the mix of the sweet blueberry lemon popcorn with the spicier red chili lime. Hopefully, Kat Saka's Kettle will be open again later this year when we return to Disney World.<br />

Overall, we had a magical trip to Disney World, and it was great to spend time with family, and not have to cook for two weeks. We also loved the low crowd levels, and short wait times for attractions.<br />

My family had to use the QR code provided by the restaurant to view The Wave's dinner menu on their phones, but I was given a paper allergy-friendly menu. If you see something on the menu that you are interested in, and it is not marked as gluten/wheat friendly, ask to speak to a chef. I often find that dishes can be modified to be gluten free if you ask. I did not speak to a chef before we ordered, because every entree except for the gnocchi was labeled safe for wheat/gluten. Because of the pandemic, Disney is offering limited menus, but it was great to see five entrees I could choose from, including the grilled beef tenderloin, herb-roasted chicken breast, pork tenderloin, sustainable fish of the day, and tikka masala.<br />

It took me a while to get my gluten free rolls, because our server was from Chef Mickey's, and was unfamiliar with some protocols at The Wave. She was super sweet though, and whenever we asked a question she could not answer, she went and checked with the kitchen.<br />

My Bloomfield Farms rolls were heated well, and I loved that they were served with salted butter. I hope all Disney restaurants are now serving these amazing rolls. They are the only rolls I encountered on our recent two week trip to Disney World. The Boomfield Farms rolls are an improvement from the brands previously used at Disney-owned and operated restaurants, but like other gluten free rolls, they do need to be heated properly.<br />

For an entree, I chose the pork tenderloin with smoked cheddar grits, coffee barbeque sauce, roasted broccolini, and chermoula. The pork was super tender, and perfectly complimented by the grits and barbecue sauce. My mother and my husband ordered the same dish, and loved it. The grits were just heavenly!<br />
<br />
When we were done with our entrees, a table was seated next to us, and there was definitely not six feet between my husband and another guest. They were about two feet apart, back to back. I did ask to speak to a manager. She apologized, and told me that no one should have been seated at that table, but did not move them. We did put our masks back on, and only took them off briefly to eat dessert. Overall, we did feel safe at Disney World with all the protocols they have in place, but we did have a few incidents that made us uncomfortable. At Mama Melrose's, when we were seated at a table too close to another party, we asked to be moved. It became our habit after the first few days to keep our masks on in restaurants when we were not eating, especially when talking to our servers, because it would be safer for them, and safer for us.<br />

<br />
I had not planned on ordering dessert, but when a chef stopped at our table to answer a question for my mom, I asked about gluten free desserts. He offered me flourless chocolate cake, and I asked if it could be served with vanilla ice cream. It was super rich, but very good with the ice cream. I always make sure I ask for whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to go with flourless chocolate cake at Disney World. I love chocolate, but sometimes it needs something less rich to balance it out.<br />
<br />
All eight members of our party loved their meal at The Wave, and we will definitely return on future visits. My parents and nieces actually dined there again a few nights later, while we had dinner at Frontera Cocina in Disney Springs. The gnocchi were a bit hit with my gluten-eating daughters and nieces, and my mom loved the cauliflower tacos so much, so had them on both visits. The gnocchi and tacos are not gluten free. I think we often avoid The Wave, because of the dark atmosphere without natural light, but the quality of food they serve makes it worth a visit.<br />

Tuesday night, we had reservations for dinner at Kona Cafe, but no one was overly excited by the menu, and we had eaten a big lunch at Nomad Lounge at Disney's Animal Kingdom, so we changed our plans. My husband and I decided to eat at AbracadaBar on Disney's BoardWalk, while our daughters had dinner elsewhere with my parents and nieces.<br />

AbracadaBar is a cocktail lounge that serves alcoholic beverages and bar snacks. The bar snacks, which are available after 5:00, are made next door at Trattoria al Forno.<br />

We would never have thought to dine at AbracadaBar if we had not seen large bowls of fries being carried by our table at Trattoria al Forno the night before. When we asked our server about them, she told us that they were for AbracadaBar, but said we could also order them at Trattoria al Forno.<br />

The Abra fries are usually served with Parmesan cheese, truffle oil, and Meyer lemon aioli, but we ordered them without the aioli. Trattoria al Forno does not put anything with gluten in their fryers, but I did have our server check with the chefs before ordering my food. The Abra fries were some of the best fries I have ever had at Disney. It is amazing how a little Parm and truffle oil can take your run of the mill Disney fries, which are always good, up a few notches. They were definitely the best fries I had on this trip.<br />

<br />
Because I felt we should eat something more than fries, we decided to try the charcuterie plate with assorted meats and house-pulled mozzarella. It is gluten free if served with gluten free rolls. My husband had gluten-filed bread from Trattoria al Forno on the side. Because my rolls were not heated well the night before, I had our server request that my Bloomfield Farms rolls be heated very well, and they were just perfect. I am loving these new rolls, which I had not tried until our visit in July. They are much better than the Ener-G and Deanna's rolls served at Disney restaurants in past years.<br />

My husband and I arrived at AbracadaBar shortly before 5:00, and ate at a table outside. It was hot, but the cold drinks we ordered, the shade, and the breeze made it bearable. Signs on the table promoted social distancing, so we did not have to worry about anyone sitting too close to us.<br />

We did notice that the BoardWalk was much busier later in the evening, but it was pretty deserted while we ate at AbracadaBar. There is a good chance that we will dine at Trattoria al Forno when we stay at Disney's BoardWalk Villas in November, so I am sure we will be ordering those amazing Abra fries later this year. We did save 20% at AbracadaBar with our Tables in Wonderland card.<br />

According to Disney's website, the restaurant, "takes its name from the Italian name for Mickey Mouse." We originally booked Topolino's for both breakfast and dinner on our first full day staying at Disney's Riviera Resort, but we ended up canceling our breakfast reservation, because the menu did not look that interesting to me, and it is currently the priciest breakfast on property, because it is still a character meal.<br />

We were the first customers in the restaurant, and because we had a party of eight, we were seated in our own private room, with this great view.<br />

My family had to scan the QR code the restaurant provided to view Topolino's menu, but I was given a paper copy of their allergy-friendly menu, which they dispose of instead of reuse. I rarely ask to speak to a chef, but I wanted to see if other dishes on the allergy-friendly menu could be modified to be gluten free, so a chef was brought to our table. Whether I speak to a chef or not when we dine out, I always make it clear to our server that I have celiac disease, and that I have to eat gluten free.<br />

The chef I spoke to said that he could modify the Classic Sole Meuniere for me, so that it would be gluten free. I think it was just a matter of leaving bread crumbs off the top of the dish. Sorry, when I don't write down these details right away, I find myself forgetting them when I go to write a review a few weeks later. The braised lamb shank was not marked on the menu as gluten-friendly, but I was told that it is gluten free without modification. I did not ask about the pasta dishes, but I am sure that Topolino's Terrace has gluten free pasta available, like other Disney-owned and operated table service restaurants. My husband loved his ricotta antipasto so much, I later asked our server if it could be made gluten free, and he said it can be if served with gluten free bread.<br />

This was my first experience with the new Bloomfield Farms rolls that Disney started to introduce late last year. I had them at several restaurants, and they are definitely better than the Ener-G and Deanna's Gluten Free rolls that many Disney restaurants used to serve. I ate them with the house-made salted butter they brought to our table. The bread course at Topolino's is served with olive oil, which my dad really loved, but we always request butter too. The Bloomfield Farms rolls are incredible when heated properly, which was my experience at all Disney restaurants with the exception of Trattoria al Forno, where I often send back my bread when it is not heated well. </div>

I was so happy that I chose the Classic Sole Meuniere with sea beans, capers, lemon, and petite potatoes. This was one of my favorite entrees during our two week trip. The fish was super fresh, it was seasoned well, and I loved all the butter it was served with. My philosophy has always been that everything is better with butter. There is a reason my family called me the butter queen when I was a little girl.<br />

The side of petite potatoes reminded me of the salt potatoes my mom used to make when I was a kid. Salt potatoes are small potatoes boiled in a pot of heavily salted water. They were so delicious eaten with some of the butter I had leftover from my bread.<br />

I had the pistachio mousse for dessert, which is naturally gluten free, and includes chocolate cake, lemon curd, and Morello cherries. The chef I spoke to told me that the cake on the bottom is flourless. This dessert was not overly sweet, and not too heavy after a big meal. Sorbet and gelato are other gluten free dessert options at Topolino's.<br />

I loved my bread, entree, and dessert at Topolino's Terrace, and it ended up being one of my favorite meals during our stay this summer at Disney World. We all thought that the restaurant was beautiful, and the service and food were excellent. Several gluten-eating family members ordered the rigatoni as their entree, and loved it. My daughters shared the braised lamb shank, and said it was very good. We did save 20% on our meal with my Tables in Wonderland card.<br />

It was pretty late by the time our flight landed, so we decided to dine at our resort instead of visiting Disney Springs. While we were driving to Disney World, I mobile ordered dinner for my family from Primo Piatto, a quick service restaurant at Disney's Riviera Resort. Allergy-friendly options were not listed in the My Disney Experience app, so I asked to speak to a chef when we arrived at the restaurant.<br />

Because of the pandemic, Disney wants all guests to mobile order, and cast members are stationed at the door of every quick service restaurant making sure orders are ready before guests enter the restaurant.<br />

I was always able to enter quick service restaurants and speak to a manager or chef when I said I needed to place a special diets order. I did mobile order though, whenever possible, to save myself time. When I mobile order, I always double check that my food is gluten free when it is delivered by a manager. Allergy sticks and different color trays are used by most quick service restaurants.<br />

Chef Ariel offered me several gluten free options, like salads, sandwiches, and I think she mentioned pizza too, but as soon as she said she could make gluten free chicken strips, I knew that was what I wanted to order, and I asked her if they could be served with Primo Piatto's Romano and herb fries. Chicken strips are on the kids menu, but I ordered an adult portion.<br />

Most Disney restaurants serve gluten free chicken tenders, so I was shocked when Chef Ariel brought out my food, and I saw the <b><a href="https://www.usfoods.com/great-food/featured-products/meat-seafood/gluten-free-breaded-chicken-chunk-raised-without-antibiotics.html" target="_blank">chicken nuggets</a></b> I love from <b><a href="https://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2019/10/columbia-harbour-house-disneys-magic.html" target="_blank">Columbia Harbour House</a></b> and <b><a href="http://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2019/06/pinocchio-village-haus-magic-kingdom.html" target="_blank">Pinocchio Village Haus</a></b> at the Magic Kingdom. My husband said they were just as good as the gluten-filled chicken strips my daughters ordered. My nieces tried them later in the trip at Pinocchio Village Haus, and said they liked them better than the gluten-filled chicken nuggets they ordered. The breading is so perfectly crunchy, and it tastes great too.<br />

My Parmesan fries were just as amazing as my nuggets, so this was pretty much the perfect first Disney meal of our summer 2020 trip. There is no where around where I live in California that I can get a meal like this, and I don't make fried food at home, so it was a real treat. I could have shared my chicken nuggets and fries with one or both of my daughters, because there was so much food, and I do not like to eat a lot that late at night.<br />

Primo Piatto has three flavors of gelato that do not contain gluten. They are made by Muse Gelato, a local company that supplies many Disney restaurants.<br />

We absolutely loved our stay at Disney's Riviera Resort, and it might be our new favorite resort at Disney World.<br />
<br />

I love riding the Disney Skyliner, which has a station at Riviera. It allows for easy access to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.<br />
<br />

We really loved all the artwork around the resort and in the rooms, and everything was so fresh and new, because Riviera just opened in December.<br />

Disney's BoardWalk Villas have long been one of our favorite Disney Vacation Club resorts, but after moving to BoardWalk, we all wanted to go back to Riviera.<br />
<br />

We had a one bedroom villa at both resorts, a splurge for my 50th birthday trip. This allowed us to easily eat breakfast in our villa, and we had more space, and could do laundry in our room. We got a great deal on the one bedroom at Riviera, which we booked through my friend <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/heathermiddleofthemagictravel" target="_blank">Heather Wilkinson with Middle of the Magic Travel</a></b>, who also eats gluten free. We used our DVC points to stay at BoardWalk, which is one of our home resorts. We got used to our room at BoardWalk after a few days, and had a great stay there, but the rooms are bigger, and much nicer at Riviera.<br />

You can read my friend Sarah's review of Primo Piatto on her website <b><a href="https://www.glutenfreedairyfreewdw.com/primo-piatto-dinner-review/" target="_blank">Gluten Free & Dairy Free at WDW</a></b>.<br />
<br />
You can read more about Primo Piatto, and view their menu and hours on <b><a href="https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/riviera-resort/primo-piatto/" target="_blank">Disney's website</a></b>. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I know they do have gluten free breakfast options, but we only had breakfast at a restaurant once on our two week trip to Disney World, because there is only so much food we can eat in one day, and we prefer to dine out for lunch and dinner.<br />

If you have more than one allergy, you cannot mobile order, so ask to speak to a manager when you arrive at the restaurant.<br />

Regal Eagle has so many gluten-friendly options to choose from, I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to eat.<br />

After being at Disney World for almost two weeks, I wanted something lighter, so I decided to order the Power Greens Salad with Chicken.<br />

I knew that Regal Eagle had allergy-friendly garlic toast, which was included with other menu items, but I did not see the option to add it to my salad or order a side of it, so I asked to speak to a manager when we arrived at the restaurant. She told me that it was not available anymore as a side, but that she would make some for me. </div>

Overall, I thought this was a great salad, and I would definitely order it again the next time we are at Epcot. The fruit was super fresh, the dressing was amazing, and I always love dried cranberries on a salad.<br />

I did want a healthy lunch, but it is hard to resist french fries when I have a chance to eat them at a restaurant. Thankfully, my daughters were with me, and they ate most of them.<br />

The main reason that I wanted to dine at the Regal Eagle was to try their allergy-friendly garlic toast, and it did not disappoint. I was impressed with the thick slices of bread, the buttery-garlic taste, and that the bread itself tasted as good as the gluten-filled bread I used to be able to eat. It really was quite heavenly! I just wish I could buy the Bloomfield Farms bread and rolls Disney has been using at my local grocery stores.<br />

I loved the new theming and decor of the Regal Eagle and we felt comfortable with the social distancing of tables. If you feel safer eating outdoors, that is an option too.

For dessert, we walked down to the France Pavilion to have macaron ice cream sandwiches at L'Artisan des Glaces. The chocolate is available all year, along with a seasonal flavor, which is strawberry in the summer.<br />

My daughters both had strawberry macaron ice cream sandwiches after lunch, while I chose to hold off and have a chocolate one later that day after dinner. It was the best macaron ice cream sandwich I have ever had at L'Artisan des Glaces. Maybe it tasted so good, because it was so incredibly hot!<br />

We did visit Epcot twice on our recent trip, and the first day, I did sample some gluten free dishes at the Epcot Food & Wine Festival, which you can view on my Facebook page <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/358168717561160/posts/3341589789219023/" target="_blank">here</a></b>. They were all good, but I did not enjoy dining outside in the heat. My tip for dining at the Food & Wine Festival this year is to be there when Epcot opens at 11:00 to avoid crowds. I know it is a little bit early to eat, but you will find more places in the shade to eat your food, and there will be less people around, which makes social distancing easier.<br />

The last few months we lived in Orlando, our Saturday morning tradition was to stop at Port Orleans - French Quarter to eat gluten free beignets with dipping sauces for breakfast, before heading to a Disney theme park. We had been eating gluten free beignets at Disney World about once a month for years, but once the dipping sauces were introduced, we wanted to have beignets for breakfast every week.<br />

In the past, gluten free beignets had to be ordered at Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory, the quick service restaurant at Disney's Port Orleans Resort-French Quarter, but now, they are available at neighboring Scat Cat's Club Cafe from 6:00 am until midnight.<br />

I really love the change, because the lines at Scat Cat's Club Cafe were short every time we stopped in, I did not have to brave the crowds in Sassagoula, and there was no need to wait to talk to a chef. Every time we ordered gluten free beignets at Scat Cat's, the cast member at the register wrote our order down on a piece of paper, and delivered it to the kitchen. My beignets were always delivered to me by a chef, and there was no guessing whether they were gluten free or not, because they were not Mickey-shaped. My daughters have tried the gluten-filled Mickey beignets, but prefer the gluten free beignets.<br />

The first night we stopped in, we asked for the secret menu gingerbread beignets, which have gingerbread spice mixed in with the powdered sugar. Pumpkin spice is another seasonal flavor you can ask for in the fall, but they were not available over Thanksgiving Break.<br />

I ordered my beignet burger without cheese, lettuce, and the pickled onions it is usually served with. All I wanted to try on it was the bacon jam, which was delicious. I know it sounds weird to eat a hamburger on a beignet, but the combination was pretty incredible. I would never get a burger on a bun again if I could have it on a beignet instead. I really enjoyed the burger itself, which was nice and thick, and the steak fries it was served with were really good too.<br />

The first morning that we visited Scat Cat's Club Cafe for breakfast, we ordered 12 beignets to share, with several sides of strawberry sauce and chicory chocolate ganache.<br />

In the past, some of my blog readers were worried about cross contamination of the the chicory chocolate ganache, but it is no longer being served near the gluten-filled beignets like it was at Sassagoula.<br />

When my daughters and I had breakfast with my friend Sarah from <b><a href="https://www.glutenfreedairyfreewdw.com/" target="_blank">Gluten Free & Dairy Free at WDW</a></b> a few days later, I asked about the specialty beignets, and was told that all three of them could be made gluten free.<br />

Specialty beignets are just regular beignets with special toppings, but they do not come in orders of three or six like the traditional beignets. Pictured above is a gluten-filled chocolate beignet from the display case.<br />

We all loved the cinnamon-sugar specialty beignet, which I will probably order every time we stop in for breakfast from now on. It tasted like a cinnamon sugar fried donut.<br />

All of my traditional and gingerbread beignets were accidentally put in to go containers, so I took photos of Sarah's beignets instead. Looking at them, it is hard to tell the difference between the two, but you can definitely taste the difference.<br />

There was no way I was leaving Disney World without having another beignet burger. This time around, I asked for the pickled onion, which was served on the side. Lettuce was accidentally put on my burger, but it was easy to remove. My burger was so good with the bacon jam, I did not even put the pickled onion on it. My aunt, who is lactose intolerant, had a gluten free beignet burger without toppings, and a side of fruit. She really enjoyed it too.<br />

I have not had a beignet sundae since we moved to California, but I will definitely have to order one again when we return to Disney World for my 50th birthday in July.<br />

Earlier today, I asked my blog readers on my <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/AlexisGFAdventures/" target="_blank">Facebook page</a></b> if they could pick only one, would they choose beignets or churros at Disney World. The majority choose beignets, and so would I, though I do love the gluten free churros at <b><a href="http://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2019/10/nomad-lounge-disneys-animal-kingdom.html" target="_blank">Nomad Lounge</a></b> in Disney's Animal Kingdom.<br />

By the way, if you are wondering what a beignet is and how it is pronounced, a beignet is deep fried dough covered in powdered sugar, and it is pronounced bin-yay. Beignets are popular in New Orleans, and are traditionally prepared to order, so they can be eaten hot, right out of the fryer. At Scat Cat's Club Cafe, the gluten free beignets are prepared in a dedicated fryer, so there is no need to worry about cross contamination with their adorable Mickey beignets. You can use Disney Dining Plan snack credits for the specialty beignets, and for orders of three traditional beignets. We were able to use our Tables in Wonderland card to get a 20% discount at Scat Cat's Club Cafe.<br />

One of my blog readers asked me if I prefer the chocolate cake with banana mousse or the rice cream with strawberries. That is hard to say, because they are so different, and I have never had them on the same day. Sometimes I am in the mood for chocolate, and sometimes I am in the mood for a dessert with fruit, so my top pick might depend on the day.<br />
<br />

The banana flavor was subtle, and paired well with the chocolate. I will definitely get the cake again when we return to Disney World next summer.<br />

<br />
The rice cream at Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe is another great dessert option. I love rice pudding, especially when it is topped by fruit. The rice pudding part is super creamy, and overall, the rice cream is not overly sweet.<br />

My only issue with this dessert is that there is red food coloring in the strawberries, which I would prefer be left out.<br />

Both desserts are in displays cases with other treats containing gluten, but they are on their own trays, and when I asked about gluten free desserts and ordered the cake, my dessert was taken out of a separate cooler. Both the rice cream and the chocolate cake with banana mousse contain dairy, but I am not sure about other allergens.<br />
<br />
I love the macaron ice cream sandwiches at the France Pavilion in Epcot, and the maple popcorn at the Canada Pavilion, but the chocolate cake with banana mousse at <b><a href="https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/epcot/kringla-bakeri-og-kafe/" target="_blank">Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe</a></b> might now be my top pick for a sweet treat at Epcot.<br />

On Thanksgiving Day, we had breakfast at Kona Cafe, a table service restaurant at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.<br />

<br />
We made advance dining reservations the night before for one reason - Tonga Toast! My daughters, who can eat gluten, love the Tonga Toast at Kona Cafe, and my gluten-eating husband enjoys their pumpkin pancakes, a special they offer for the holidays.<br />

<br />
The steel-cut oatmeal with apple is listed as gluten/wheat friendly, but I highly doubt that Kona is using certified gluten free oats, so I would not order this dish without speaking to a chef if you have celiac disease. I have asked about oats at other Disney restaurants, and have never found one that is using safe oats.<br />

<br />
A few days before we headed to Disney World for Thanksgiving Break, I learned that there was a chef at Kona Cafe making gluten free Tonga Toast. I did not want to get my hopes up, because Chef Josh was making a gluten free version of Tonga Toast at Kona Cafe back in 2014 for a short period of time before being told he could no longer make it. My understanding at the time was that other chefs were not willing to make it, and people were complaining to Special Diets.<br />

We were pressed for time, because of our FastPasses at Disney's Animal Kingdom, so I did not ask to speak to a chef when we arrived, but our server went to the kitchen to ask a chef if I could order gluten free Tonga Toast, and I was excited when he came back and said yes.<br />

When my Tonga Toast arrived, I was definitely disappointed. It did not look like the Tonga Toast in the pictures I had seen on Facebook, and it appeared to be overcooked. Tonga Toast is banana-stuffed french toast rolled in cinnamon sugar and served with strawberry compote. My Tonga Toast was made with <b><a href="http://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2016/11/deannas-gluten-free.html" target="_blank">Deanna's Gluten Free rolls</a></b> instead of bread, which I was not expecting. Once I started eating it, I could not have been happier with my meal. My Tonga Toast was not overly sweet, and I loved the fried bread with the bananas and strawberry compote.<br />

Chef Tony stopped at our table after I had finished eating my meal, and I told him how thankful I was that he was wiling to make me gluten free Tonga Toast. He told me that they were getting so many requests for it, they decided to make a gluten free version. I really hope that it is here to stay this time around.<br />

She said, "This was amazing! Chef Lorraine was awesome, and asked what I really wanted. I asked about the Tonga Toast and she said YEP! She described it more as a Neapolitan style. I actually think it might be better than the regular - especially if you like bananas. She layered 4 pieces of gluten free bread with caramelized banana slices between each layer. So delicious!"<br />

In June, we had breakfast at Kona Cafe with our friends and former neighbors from Orlando. I started my meal with a fruit plate with fresh seasonal fruit. I was really impressed by the selection of fruit, and the presentation. It was also served with honeycomb and boba.<br />

Kona Cafe uses Golden Malted gluten free waffle and pancake mix, which contains soy, and is manufactured on shared lines with several top 8 allergens, but they also had Namaste waffle mix in June, which is top 8 free, and made in a dedicated facility. I do not enjoy the Golden Malted waffle mix, and I do not like that the company does not disclose that it is made on shared lines on their packaging or website.<br />

<br />
My waffles made with Namaste were a little undercooked in the middle, but it was not a big deal, because they were cooked perfectly around the edges, and there was no way I could finish all four of them, so I had plenty to eat.<br />

I asked for a side of strawberry compote to put on my waffles. In June, Chef Tony told me that the recipe had recently been changed to make it vegan, with the addition of coconut milk. It was good, but not as amazing as I remembered from past visits, because I thought it was a little too sweet. Over Thanksgiving Break, it looked a little different, and it did not taste overly sweet to me.<br />

My friend Lorraine ordered gluten free macadamia nut pancakes with macadamia nut butter, pineapple sauce, and a side of turkey bacon. Like the Tonga Toast, the pancakes are not on the allergy-friendly menu as a gluten free option, but the chefs at Kona Cafe will make them for you if you ask.<br />

Lorraine really enjoyed her pancakes, and her turkey bacon looked great. I am not a huge fan of the bacon at Kona Cafe, because it is too thin and greasy. The next time we dine there, I need to remember to order turkey bacon instead.<br />

We bring home ornaments for our Disney trees every time we take a Disney trip. Over Thanksgiving Break, we purchased a Polynesian Village Resort ornament to celebrate adding Disney's Polynesian Villas as our latest Disney Vacation Club home resort, a present for my upcoming 50th birthday. I have not stayed at the Polynesian since I was a teenager, but I am excited to return, so I have easy access to gluten free Tonga Toast!<br />

The service can be very slow at Kona Cafe, which was the case in June, but thankfully, our meals came out quickly over Thanksgiving Break. In the past two weeks, I have heard that Chef Tony, Chef Lorraine, and Chef Carlos are making gluten free Tonga Toast. Only Chef Lorraine is using gluten free bread.<br />

During our trip to Disney World earlier this month, we had breakfast at Kona Cafe. During our two week stay, this was the only breakfast we had at a restaurant. Sadly, with Port Orleans-French Quarter closed, we had a beignet free trip, but my daughters and I love Tonga Toast, so a visit to Kona Cafe is a must. Other days, we had breakfast in our villas at Disney's Riviera Resort and Disney's BoardWalk Resort. We stayed in a one bedroom at both resorts, so we had a full kitchen. If Boma was open, we definitely would have dined there too, but we ended up canceling our breakfast reservations at Topolino's Terrace and Trattoria al Forno in favor of smaller, healthier breakfasts in our room. </div>

Because of the pandemic, many Disney menus at table service restaurants have fewer options than normal. The allergy-friendly menu at Kona Cafe still does not say that Tonga Toast is an option for gluten/wheat allergies, but I told our server that I wanted to order gluten free Tonga Toast, and he did not even question it. In case you are wondering, the macadamia nut pancakes are still on the regular menu, and can be made gluten free if you request them. </div>

It appears that Deanna's Gluten Free and Ener-G rolls are now gone from Disney restaurants, and have been replaced with Bloomfield Farms rolls, which were used to make my gluten free Tonga Toast. I love these rolls, which are gluten free, soy free, egg free, dairy free, and nut free, according to Bloomfield Farms' Instagram account. I would have liked a little more banana in my Tonga Toast, but it was delicious. We will definitely be back during our trips in November and December later this year. </div>

I almost forgot to mention that this was one of the few restaurants that we were not happy with the social distancing of tables. We thought 2 tables were a little to close for comfort, so we wore our masks until our food was served.<br />

In late July, my daughters and I had dinner at Toledo - Tapas, Steak & Seafood, a new table service restaurant on the top floor of Gran Destino Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort.<br />

Toledo is one of the most beautiful restaurants on Disney property, and it has fantastic views from the top floor of Gran Destino Tower.<br />

Toledo features Spanish cuisine, including tapas, and our table happened to be right in front of their tapas kitchen.<br />

Toledo is a Disney-owned and operated restaurant, so they have an allergy-friendly menu that lists options for gluten/wheat, milk, egg, soy, fish, shellfish, peanut, and tree nut allergies.<br />
<br />

If a dish is listed for gluten/wheat, that means that is does not contain gluten.<br />

If you are interested in a dish that is not marked safe for gluten/wheat allergies, ask if it can be modified.<br />

The tapas menu only has one dish labeled as gluten-friendly, but Heather and Heather were able to order the Artisanal Manchego Cheese Vertical without the grissini (breadsticks).<br />

The Artisanal Cheese Vertical features three, six, eight, and twelve month aged Manchego with honeycomb, quince jam, and stone fruit. My daughters and I love Manchego, so we will definitely have to order this dish when we return to Toledo over Thanksgiving Break.<br />

<br />
My main course was good, but not great. My tilefish was cold, and I would have loved more of the Valencia orange sauce. I chose not to send it back, because we were eating dinner way later than we usually do, and I did not want to wait for another entree.<br />
<br />

Heather and Heather shared the scallops entree with fava hummus, olives, harissa vinaigrette, roasted carrots, and yogurt powder. Heather W. said it was one of the top three, if not the #1 dish she has ever had at a Disney restaurant. "Everything was cooked perfectly! The fava hummus and olives complimented the scallops perfectly. The yogurt powder was interesting, but the vinaigrette tied it all together."<br />

Overall, we all enjoyed our meals, and look forward to dining at Toledo again. Views from the top of Gran Destino Tower were amazing, and if we had not been so tired, my daughters and I would have stayed to see the fireworks. Heather W. stayed there one night, and loved her room.<br />

The new Gran Destino Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort is beautiful. Looking at their rooms and lobby, it is hard to believe that it is a moderate resort. Heidi stayed there club level in July, and said that she would recommend it over all of her other club level stays at Disney World.

The chef I spoke to made me Deanna's Gluten Free rolls with olive oil, salt, and maybe a little garlic to replace the grissini (bread sticks) the cheese plate is usually served with. They were perfectly heated, and some of the best gluten free rolls I have ever had at Disney World.<br />

For an entree, my husband and I shared the Manhattan Steak. The portion was small, but the steak was amazing, especially with the date puree on top. I liked the olive oil mashed potatoes with Manchego too, but I don't think they complimented the steak very well. I would have definitely preferred this dish with another side, like the crushed new potatoes served with the Hangar Steak, or the petite potatoes served with the black grouper.<br />

For dessert, I could not pass up the strawberry mousse Mickey tart from the kids menu that I had on our last visit, and it did not disappoint.<br />

If you have more than one food restriction, you cannot mobile order at Disney World or Disneyland. If you have anaphylactic reactions to food, or more than one allergy, you should ask to speak to a manager.<br />
<br />

I feel comfortable mobile ordering at Disney World and Disneyland with celiac disease. I always check with the manager when my food is delivered to make sure that all of my food is gluten free.<br />

My daughters and I love to dine at Columbia Harbour House and Pinocchio Village Haus, because they carry the best chicken nuggets I have had since my celiac diagnosis 11 years ago.<br />

Other quick service restaurants at Disney World sell a brand of chicken tenders that I have never enjoyed. You can read more about the chicken nuggets sold at Columbia Harbour House and Pinocchio Village Haus on the <a href="https://www.usfoods.com/great-food/featured-products/meat-seafood/gluten-free-breaded-chicken-chunk-raised-without-antibiotics.html" target="_blank"><b>manufacturer's website</b></a>.

One cool feature with mobile ordering is that you can order your food earlier in the day, then go back into the app later to have the restaurant prepare your order.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I have always found the wait time to be pretty short when I mobile order. It usually takes about 10 minutes to prepare my food.<br />
<br />

The app will let you know when your order is ready, but I like to stand near the mobile order pick-up area, so I can talk to the manager or chef delivering my food.<br />

My daughters, who do not need to eat gluten free, love the allergy-friendly chicken breast nuggets, so we ordered two of them with french fries to share. Our food arrived on a green tray, which signifies that it is an allergy order.<br />

The french fries were good, but we came for Columbia Harbour House's amazing chicken nuggets. The breading to chicken ratio is perfect, and the breading itself is super crunchy. We all love to dip our fries and chicken nuggets in ketchup.<br />

After stuffing myself full of chicken nuggets and fries, I decided that I needed something sweet, so I mobile ordered an allergy-friendly brownie. Disney World used to carry OMG...It's Gluten Free Fudge Brownies, which I loved, but now they are selling Sweet Street brownies.<br />
<br />

Being a fan of OMG's amazingly fudgy brownies, I was convinced that I would be disappointed in the Sweet Street brownie I bought, but my daughters and I loved it.<br />

We try to eat the chicken nuggets at Columbia Harbour House or Pinocchio Village Haus at least once every time we visit Disney World. You can read more about Pinocchio Village Haus <b><a href="https://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2019/06/pinocchio-village-haus-magic-kingdom.html" target="_blank">here</a></b>. If you are interested in a healthier option at Columbia Harbour House, try the grilled salmon with vegetables. The salmon and green beans are good, but I love the chicken nuggets too much to pass them up.<br />

We love the service, the decor, and the food at Skipper Canteen, and in the last few years, it has become our favorite restaurant at the Magic Kingdom. </div>

Skipper Canteen's allergy-friendly menu lists options for people with gluten/wheat, milk, egg, soy, fish/shellfish, and peanut/tree nut allergies. If gluten/wheat is listed under a dish on the menu, it does not contain gluten.<br />

Our server mentioned that several dishes that are not marked as gluten-friendly can be modified to be gluten free. When I first visited Skipper Canteen, a chef told me that they only use gluten free tamari soy sauce in the restaurant.<br />

In July, our server asked us if we wanted pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) with chimichurri cream cheese. When she told us about this new menu item, she did not mention that this dish was on Skipper Canteen's Not So Secret Menu. along with several sangria options, and shrimp in a cup. I am not sure if the shrimp in a cup, which features sauced shrimp with coleslaw and lime, is gluten-friendly, but I have heard you get to keep the cute canteen mug it is served in.<br />

<br />
The pao de queijo was pretty amazing, and I am pretty sure they are house-made. We love cream cheese in baked goods, but have never liked it in savory dishes, so we did not eat too much of it, but the chimichurri was great with the Brazilian cheese bread.<br />

My husband and parents will be with us when we return to Skipper Canteen in November, so I will definitely be ordering the Tastes Like Chicken Because It Is, which features crispy-fried chicken served with jasmine rice, chili glaze, and seasonal vegetables.<br />

I love that my husband is always willing to share appetizers and entrees with me so I can try several dishes. The new preparation of Dr. Falls' Signature Steak looks great, so I am tempted to order that too. It is now being served with a caramelized onion puree and red wine reduction.<br />

The rice pudding is so deliciously creamy, and complimented perfectly by the mango sauce and lemon curd. The cookie on top is made with almond flour, which is why this dessert is not safe for people with tree nut allergies.<br />

We also tried the Monkey Bites, a gluten free dessert from the kids menu. The bananas dipped in chocolate and coated in chocolate-sunflower seeds were overripe, which this green banana loving girl did not enjoy. I would order this dessert again though, because I really liked the pistachio sponge cake with whipped cream, and the tiny meringues, which tasted like lemon.<br />

None of the Disneyland Resort Hotels had availability, so we booked a room at the SpringHill Suites across the street from Disney California Adventure. We did not make advance dining reservations for this trip, choosing instead to eat at quick service restaurants.<br />

We bought 3-day park hopper tickets from Undercover Tourist, because I knew we would want to go in the theme parks when we arrived Friday night. On Saturday, the only full day we spent at the theme parks, we added MaxPass in the Disneyland app when we arrived at the park. It is an extra charge, but it is so worth it. Every time we have used MaxPass, including our last Christmas Break trip, we were able to get 8 to 10 fastpasses per day, and avoid waiting in long lines.<br />

The night we arrived, my daughters, who can eat gluten, wanted chicken tenders and waffle fries for dinner, so we headed to Smokejumpers Grill in Disney California Adventure, after we dropped our bags off at our hotel.<br />

Before heading home on Sunday, I ordered an OMG...It's Gluten Fudge Brownie from Smokejumpers to take with us. This used to be the brand carried at Disney World, but most restaurants there now serve Sweet Street gluten free brownies. We ate the brownie a few days after returning home, and it was just as amazing as I remembered. If you like super fudgy brownies, you will love this brand.<br />

We mobile ordered everything we could at Disneyland, because it is a huge time-saver. If you have more than one food restriction, you cannot mobile order. If you have anaphylactic reactions to any foods, I would suggest talking to a manager or chef at all Disney restaurants.<br />

Before heading over to Disneyland to see their incredible Halloween Screams with Fireworks, we stopped at Flo's V8 Cafe to pick up the pumpkin spice classic shake I mobile ordered.<br />

Halloween music was playing, and the lights were changing from one odd color to another, so it was hard to get a normal picture of my milkshake. I so wanted to like it, but I would never order it again. The pumpkin spice classic shake appeared to be a vanilla milkshake with a lot of add-ins, which were not good. After my husband and I both took a few sips, we threw it away. It was overly sweet, and did not have the pumpkin flavor I was looking for.<br />

Saturday morning, we headed straight to Disneyland to check out Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. I brought a granola bar with me, and bought fresh mango in the park. My husband had Mickey waffles at our hotel, and our daughters ate pastries from La Brea Bakery in Downtown Disney.<br />

At 10:30, when they switch from breakfast to lunch service, we stopped at Red Rose Taverne to have pommes frites. Unfortunately, a side of fries is not available to mobile order for a gluten/wheat allergy. I had to wait in line for at least 15 minutes before I could order, because they do not switch to lunch service until every breakfast order has been served, and a lot of people were ordering a late breakfast. The pommes frites with garlic and Parmesan were definitely worth the wait, and I am glad I got two orders, so I did not have to share with my family.<br />

The Yobshrimp Noodle Youngling Salad was my favorite dish at Disneyland on this trip. The portion was not big, because it is from the kids menu, but I loved the sauce on the noodles, which was slightly sweet with a hint of spice. The shrimp were super fresh, and I enjoyed the thin strips of vegetables.<br />

Right after lunch, we stopped at Kat Saka's Kettle to try the Outpost Popcorn Mix, which I confirmed is gluten free, but it does contain soy, and is made with coconut oil.<br />

I have read mixed reviews of the popcorn, but my husband and I really liked it. According to Vegan Disney Food, the flavors are blueberry lemon pound cake and red chili lime. They work really well together, but I did not like the savory red popcorn on its own. My daughters would have eaten all my sweet blue popcorn if I had let them. The two flavors are mixed together, and cannot be ordered separately.<br />

My family wanted sundaes from Ghiradelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop after our three course lunch, so we walked over to Disney California Adventure. The main reason we add the park hopper option to our tickets is so we can eat at both theme parks every day.<br />

My family was not too happy with me when I said I wanted to head back to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge to wait in line to ride Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. You currently cannot get a fastpass for this ride, and the line was huge when we stopped by in the morning. I felt that a 65 minute wait in the afternoon was our best shot at riding it.<br />

I have got to admit that we were all unimpressed. I hope that Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, the second attraction in Galaxy's Edge, is a lot more exciting. Star Tours is a better ride, and I had way more fun riding Hyperspace Mountain later that night. We will probably ride Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run with my parents at Disney World in November, but in the future, our family will definitely skip it without a fastpass.<br />

For dinner, I decided to return to Docking Bay 7 for the Yobshrimp Noodle Youngling Salad, because I wanted something light after all the food I had eaten earlier in the day.<br />

While the app only listed one gluten-friendly dish for lunch and dinner, the actual allergy-friendly menu at the restaurant had two other dishes I could have chosen for dinner. I have heard that the Roasted Endorian Tip-Yip Salad is great, but decided not to try it, because I do not like anything that tastes like ranch.<br />

We did want to see the Halloween decorations and fireworks, and ride Haunted Mansion Holiday, but the main reason we visited Disneyland the last weekend in September was to see the Main Street Electrical Parade before it disappeared again on September 30th.<br />

My fondest childhood memories are of our trips to Disney World, and this parade brings back all the magic. My family had not seen it since our daughters were little, so we got in the car to drive 6 1/2 hours for a trip to Disneyland that did not even last 48 hours. Was it worth it? Heck, yes! We ended up snagging a great viewing spot near It's a Small World about 10 minutes before the parade started, and I was so happy that my family loved the experience as much as I did.<br />

We headed straight to Cars Land to get some old school fastpasses for Radiator Springs Racers, then rode some other favorite attractions before the park got too crowded.<br />

I had a hard time deciding what I wanted for our last meal at Disneyland. I did consider trying one of the new gluten-friendly dishes at the Lucky Fortune Cookery, but the chefs at my school make amazing Asian food, so I decided to skip it.<br />

I also considered eating at Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill, but in the end, decided to have lunch at Flo's V8 Cafe, because I knew I wanted a Neapolitan milkshake before we left Disneyland.<br />

The buns at Disneyland on this trip were decent, but not amazing, so I decided to take the top bun off my sandwich. The thick-sliced turkey breast was great, and I loved the steak fries too. I had fries three times on this trip, and they were all so good, it is hard to pick a favorite. I am so thankful for the dedicated fryers at Disneyland and Disney World.<br />

My Neapolitan milkshake was just as incredible as I remembered it being. It is not to be missed on any trip to Disneyland. In April, the machine with chocolate and strawberry was broken, so I had to settle for a vanilla milkshake, but it was great too. You can read reviews from our two visits to Disneyland earlier this year <b><a href="http://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2019/05/disneyland-2019.html" target="_blank">here</a></b>.<br />

We also bought 11 Christmas ornaments. With three visits to Disneyland, three trips to Disney World, two Disney Cruise Line cruises, and our Disneyland Paris vacation, we might have to add a third Disney-themed Christmas tree this year if we are not careful. I think we brought home at least 3 ornaments from every trip.<br />

For years, we have been told that a ghost might follow us home in the Haunted Mansion, and this time, the dire warning came true! I have been eyeing the Host a Ghost Spirit Jars on shopDisney for a few weeks, and after seeing them in person, we decided to bring The Bride home with us. It was a little pricey, but it is a super fun addition to our Halloween decorations.<br />

We had such an amazing time at Disneyland, we have already booked the same weekend for next year, but instead of 2 nights, we will be staying 3 nights to make the trip a bit less hectic. We never even had a chance to visit Downtown Disney, because our time was so limited.<br />

Some of my students recently asked me if I prefer Disneyland or Disney World. After our two trips to Disney World this summer, I was thinking that Disney World is better than Disneyland, but it is so hard to choose a favorite. For food, I will always pick Disney World, but the weather is better at Disneyland for most of the year, and I love the MaxPass, which allows you to ride way more rides without waiting in line in one day. Disneyland might only have two parks, but we love how close they are to each other, and to the three Disneyland Resort Hotels. Finally, there are some shared attractions at both Disney World and Disneyland that are way better at Disneyland, like Space Mountain, It's a Small World (especially at Christmas), and Haunted Mansion Holiday.<br />

This past weekend, my daughters and I found ourselves wishing that we were back at Disneyland. Now that we live in California, it would be nice to live closer, so we could visit more often. Oddly enough, we are still annual passholders at Disney World, but not at Disneyland, because financially, it does not make sense for us. We don't spend more than 6 days a year in a Disneyland park, but we do visit the theme parks at Disney World for at least a week, two or three times a year.<br />
<br />
Disneyland might not have the quality of gluten free food that Disney World has, but I enjoyed what I ate on this trip, and I always have a great time with my family at Disneyland.<br />

Nomad Lounge serves small plates and drinks from around the world. It is located next to Tiffins, right outside of Pandora. Indoor and outdoor seating is available, and you don't need to worry about advance dining reservations, because Nomad Lounge only accepts walk-ins.<br />

When we visit Disney World over Thanksgiving Break, we enjoy sitting outside, but in the summer, we like to take a break from the heat, and dine inside.<br />
<br />

Nomad Lounge has an allergy-friendly menu that lists options for people with gluten/wheat, milk, egg, soy, fish/shellfish, peanut, and tree nut allergies. I have been told that everything on the menu is naturally gluten free or can be modified to be gluten free, except the vegetarian sliders.<br />

You can also order gluten-friendly appetizers and enhancements from Tiffins' allergy-friendly menu, so be sure to ask your server for the menu if they do not offer it to you.<br />

I highly recommend the roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon-sherry vinaigrette and crispy shallots, which we had in July when we dined at Tiffins.<br />
<br />

They might have been the best Brussels sprouts we have ever eaten. You can read my Tiffins review <b><a href="https://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2019/08/tiffins-disneys-animal-kingdom.html" target="_blank">here</a></b>.<br />

We rarely drink anything but water, but Nomad Lounge has some fun non-alcoholic drinks.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

One of our favorites is the Balinese Breeze with Mountain Berry tea, simple syrup, and lemon juice.<br />
<br />

I also love the Hibiscus Henna, which features watermelon, hibiscus, and lime juice topped with soda water.<br />
<br />

The chicken satay with spicy peanut sauce and cucumber salad is one of my favorite small plates at Nomad Lounge. I always ask for an extra side of peanut sauce.<br />

<br />
On our first visit this summer, it was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, but the next time we stopped in, the peanut sauce was pretty bland, because it lacked the sweetness I enjoy.<br />
<br />

One of the many things I love about dining at Disney World is that I can order safe gluten free french fries made in a dedicated fryer.<br />
<br />

We always order the truffle poutine at Nomad Lounge, minus the cheese and gravy. I am not a fan of gravy, but I usually love cheese. The Truffle Tremor cheese on the poutine at Nomad Lounge is a goat cheese, and it is way too funky tasting for my daughters and I. We do love the black truffle salt and crispy onions though, why is why these fries are one of my favorites at Disney.<br />
<br />

The Tiffins bread service is not marked as safe for gluten/wheat allergies on the allergy-friendly menu, but it can be modified to be gluten free.<br />

<br />
For bread, Nomad Lounge will provide gluten free papadum, which is crispy and delicious. The fig tapenade it is served with is amazing, and I enjoy the tadka too, which reminds me of a thick salsa. We decided to order a second fig tapenade instead of the spiced coriander yogurt with our bread service, because it is our least favorite accompaniment.<br />
<br />

On our second visit in July, I ordered the Wagya beef sliders with yuca fries and tomato pear jam. Nomad Lounge does have gluten free buns, but I decided to skip them, because they have always served Ener-G rolls, which I do not enjoy. They might have recently made the switch to Bloomfield Farms rolls though, so I might give them a try the next time we stop in. My beef sliders were great with the tomato pear jam, and I really enjoyed the yuca fries.</div>

Last year, we ordered the smoked pork ribs with sweet soy glaze. My whole family misses the honey-glazed, coriander-spiced pork ribs that Nomad Lounge used to make. We were not that impressed with the soy glaze, but might give the ribs a try again when we return to Disney World in November.<br />

One of our friends ordered the Tuna Poke Bowl when we dined at Nomad Lounge over Thanksgiving Break. I have not tried it myself, because I do not like raw fish, but Ed said it was good.<br />

You might wonder why we dine at Nomad Lounge at least twice every time we go to Disney World. The main reason is that they serve gluten free churros! All the churros at Nomad Lounge are made with Cup4Cup multipurpose flour, and this is the only Disney restaurant that makes them gluten free.<br />

The churros themselves are amazing, but they are taken to the next level with the vanilla and chili-strawberry sauces they are served with. I suggest dipping each bite in both sauces. The combination of flavors is really incredible. The churros do contain dairy and egg, and they are also not safe for soy allergies, because they are made in a shared fryer with products that contain soy.<br />

We did not make advance dining reservations like we usually do for table service restaurants, because it was a spur of the moment decision to leave Hollywood Studios, and head to Disney Springs for lunch. We were the first table seated, and the restaurant did not get too crowded while we dined, so you probably don't need a reservation if you want to dine at Jaleo for lunch.<br />

I was most excited to try the shrimp sauteed with garlic, which is gluten free without the bread, but the shrimp did not taste right. I am not sure if it was old, or something else was wrong with it. When I spoke to our server, she had the shrimp removed from our bill. She did offer for the chefs to remake it, but we had already finished the rest of our food, and I did not want anything else to eat except for dessert. My gluten-eating daughters liked the bread that came with the shrimp, which we had served on the side.<br />

We also shared an an order of chorizo with olive oil potato puree and cider sauce. The potatoes were good, but the chorizo was just ok. I had hoped it would be crumbled on top of the potatoes instead of being served in large pieces.<br />

For our selection of three quesos, we chose two of the queso Manchego with moscatel compressed apples, and the sheep's milk cheese with quince paste. We all loved the sheep cheese with quince paste, and the Manchego was good too, but my daughters and I thought that the apples were tasteless. Katie asked me how they took all the flavor out of the apples, and I found myself wondering the same thing.<br />

For dessert, our server told me that I could order flan, or olive oil ice cream with grapefruit, and Jaleo also has sorbet and ice cream. The olive oil ice cream with grapefruit ice and grapefruit was my favorite dish at Jaleo. It was the perfect dessert for a hot day in Orlando. I know olive oil ice cream sounds a little strange, but the taste of olive oil was subtle, and I ate each bite with the fruit or grapefruit ice, so they balanced each other out well.<br />

We did not like Jaleo enough to go back again in November with my extended family, so we canceled our reservation for Thanksgiving Break. That being said, I might be willing to dine there again some time in the future, but probably not for a few years. because there are so many restaurants we like better in Disney Springs. I am glad we tried it, but our meal was pretty hit or miss. Jaleo is pricey, but we did save 20% with our Tables in Wonderland card. </div>

On Saturdays and Sundays, Noglu serves brunch from 10am to 3pm. Go early, because seating is limited.<br />

Their pancakes with berry compote were delicious, but their blueberry crepes might be the best crepes I have ever had.<br />
<br />

We all thought their raspberry crepes were amazing too. I asked for our chocolate sauce to be served on the side, and I am glad I did, because we ate very little of it. My daughters and I will definitely be visiting Noglu again when we are in New York City next summer. I make really good crepes, but Noglu's are definitely better.<br />

At brunch, we also tried a chocolate eclair and an apple tart. Everything was delicious, but all I wanted was more of those incredible crepes. I did buy <b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Good-Without-Gluten-Frederique-Jules-ebook/dp/B00K7VHTSI/" target="_blank">Noglu's cookbook</a></b> when we got home, just so I could see their crepe recipe.<br />

I had a spinach and feta quiche, a canele, and a pear tart, which I really enjoyed.<br />

We visited <b><a href="https://www.erinmckennasbakery.com/new-york-city/" target="_blank">Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC</a></b> before our tour at the Tenement Museum. All of their baked goods are gluten free, vegan, and kosher.<br />

This was my first visit to a <b><a href="https://www.starbucksreserve.com/en-us/locations/new-york" target="_blank">Starbucks Reserve Roastery</a></b>, and I was blown away by how huge it was, and that they had so many food and drink options.<br />

Sadly, safe gluten free options were scarce, but I did have some of the best coffee I have ever had in the United States. On both visits, I ordered a cafe latte made with decaf Costa Rica Hacienda Alsacia, one of their Starbucks Reserve coffees.<br />

The menu described the flavor profile as sparkling acidity balanced by citrus and milk chocolate flavors. That is definitely right up my alley.<br />

While we were in New York City, we visited the GROM at Columbus Circle. This location is now 100% gluten free, but I am not sure if this is the case at their other NYC shops, so be sure to ask before you order.<br />
<br />

I was excited that the Columbus Circle GROM now has gluten free cones like their gelaterias in Italy. I was told that they made the change last summer.<br />

On our last visit to GROM, I had panettone, tiramisu, and Crema di Grom. I enjoyed all the gelato flavors I tried over Christmas Break, but the panettone might have been my favorite.<br />

We love their classic brownies, but have not tried their chocolate chips cookies, vegan zucchini bread, or vegan banana bread.<br />

Another day for lunch, we shared two build your own bowls, a side of sweet potatoes, and a brownie. My daughters ordered a bowl with salmon, brown rice, double sweet potatoes, and avocado bean dip on the side.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Seriously, The Little Beet makes the best sweet potatoes ever! I love their crunchy skins.<br />
<br />

The Little Beet does offer bowls and sandwiches for breakfast, but I arrived after 10:30 the one morning I stopped in, so I could not order a hot breakfast. Thankfully, I was able to buy yogurt and granola, and a cinnamon sugar donut. The donut and yogurt were good, but I wish the yogurt would have been a little sweeter.<br />
<br />

<br />
Before we headed to the airport to fly home, I had a bowl with kaffir lime chicken, brown rice, shaved Brussels sprouts with Pecorino, sweet potatoes, pickled onions, and avocado bean dip. I should have ordered the sweet chili garlic sauce instead of the avocado bean dip. It is spicy, but adds so much flavor.<br />

We decided to build our own bowls. You get to pick a protein, three grains and veggies, two garnishes, and a sauce and crunches (crispy shallots, coconut crack, lentil crisps, or veggie crisps).<br />

I chose curry chicken, sweet potatoes, basmati rice, slaw, watermelon radish, pomegranate, and crispy shallots. The sweet chili sauce was so good, but spicy.<br />

I was surprised when my daughters chose baked falafel for their protein, which they did not love. Other protein options on the day we visited were grilled chicken, turkey meatballs, grilled salmon, slow braised lamb, and curry tofu.<br />

Before we went to Inday, we visited Eataly NYC Flatiron. We have also visited Eataly stores in <b><a href="http://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2017/06/gluten-free-in-chicago.html" target="_blank">Chicago</a></b> and Florence, because we love Italian food.<br />

I do a lot of research before we travel. For this trip, my best resource was a Gluten-Free Globetrotter post called <b><a href="https://glutenfreeglobetrotter.com/glutenfreenyc/dedicatedglutenfreenyc/" target="_blank">Dedicated Gluten-Free in New York City</a></b>. I also follow a lot of gluten free New York City and travel bloggers on Instagram, and I use the Find Me Gluten Free app. My friend Amanda has some great New York City reviews on her blog <b><a href="http://www.glutenfreedairyfreereviews.com/p/new-york-restaurant.html" target="_blank">The Gluten & Dairy-Free Review Blog</a></b>.<br />

Next summer, I am excited to visit <b><a href="https://www.modernbreadandbagel.com/" target="_blank">Modern Bread and Bagel</a></b>, which opened shortly after our Christmas Break trip. I can't wait to try New York-style bagels in New York City!<br />
<br />
What are your favorite places in New York City for gluten free dining?<br />

Tiffins, which features international cuisine, is located right outside the entrance to Pandora - The World of Avatar.<br />

When we visit Disney's Animal Kingdom, we usually dine at Nomad Lounge, because we love their small plates, drinks, and gluten free churros.<br />

During our 8-night trip to Disney World in July, we spent three half days in Disney's Animal Kingdom, so we decided to give Tiffins a try again, because we had not dined there in two years.<br />
<br />

Tiffins, like Nomad Lounge, is a welcome respite from the heat on a hot summer day. After weekly visits to Disney World for the eight years we lived in Orlando, we feel no pressure to rush around when we return in the summer and over Thanksgiving Break. We usually eat at table service restaurants, because we enjoy the slower pace, we feel the food quality is better than most quick service restaurants, and there tends to be more gluten free options.<br />
<br />

Tiffins has an allergy-friendly menu that lists options for people with gluten/wheat, milk, egg, soy, peanut/tree nut, fish, and shellfish allergies.<br />

There were so many gluten-friendly dishes that I wanted to order, but without my husband there, there was only so much food we could eat.<br />

My daughters and I decided to share everything we ordered, except for our drinks and desserts. We had dinner reservations at <b><a href="http://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2018/07/stk-orlando-disney-springs.html" target="_blank">STK</a></b> in Disney Springs, so we tried not to overeat.<br />

<br />
We all had a Balinese Breeze with mountain berry tea, simple syrup, and lemon juice. It was not as sweet as we prefer, so our server brought us some more simple syrup. My other favorite non-alcoholic drink at Tiffins and Nomad Lounge is the Hibiscus Henna with watermelon, hibiscus, soda water, and lime juice.<br />
<br />

<br />
The Tiffins Signature Bread Service is not listed as gluten-friendly on the allergy-friendly menu, but it can be made gluten free if it is served with papadum, which is crispy and great for dipping. We loved the fig tapenade it was served with, and I also enjoyed the tadka, which is like a salsa. The online menu says the bread service is served with Indian-spiced tomato chutney, which I assume is the tadka. The coriander yogurt was decent, but we did not each much of it. When we ran out of the fig tapenade, I asked for the pomegranate oil that was being served to other tables with gluten-filled bread. When we ordered the bread service at Nomad Lounge the next day, we skipped the coriander yogurt, and asked for two sides of fig tapenade.<br />

<br />
The Selection of Artisanal Cheeses can also be modified to be gluten free if served with papadum. We don't like goat cheese or blue cheese, so those were left off at our request. The chef took off another cheese because of possible cross contamination issues. That left us with only two cheeses, but we enjoyed them both. The plate had more papadum on it, but my daughters grabbed a few pieces before I managed to take a picture. My only complaint about this dish is the small amount of sweet accompaniments that were on the plate. I think they were honey and some sort of berry jam. They were great on the cheese, and I should have asked for more. I also enjoyed the spiced pistachios that were included on our cheese plate.<br />

For an entree, we decided to share the Crispy Sadza, which is a crispy corn cake with chermoula-infused seasonal vegetables, chakalaka, and corn emulsion. This dish can be ordered with or without the pork belly, which we skipped, because it is too fatty for our taste. The crispy corn cake was delicious, and I really enjoyed the vegetables and sauces on the plate. I would definitely consider ordering this dish again on future visits.<br />

We also shared an order of roasted Brussels sprouts with sherry bacon vinaigrette and crispy shallots. They were some of the best Brussels sprouts we have ever had. I loved that they were slightly sweet, and they were cooked perfectly. Thankfully, they can also be ordered at Nomad Lounge.<br />

<br />
One of the main reasons we dined at Tiffins was to try their Halo-Halo dessert with sweet potato ice cream, raspberry-ginger beer sorbet, condensed milk ice cream, coconut crumble, and lime pate de fruit. The flavors and textures on the plate were all so interesting, and I loved the presentation. We all agreed that the condensed milk ice cream was our favorite, followed by the sweet potato ice cream. My daughters and I do not like coconut, so we asked that the coconut crumble be left off. I am not sure what our crumble was made out of, but I liked it, so I asked our server what was in it. When he returned from the kitchen, he told me that it was made with sweetened condensed milk, but seemed confused about what else was in the crumble. Oh well, maybe I was served the coconut crumble I did not want, but he did not want to admit it. Here and there, it had a small hint of coconut taste, like coconut milk does at times, but it did not taste like shaved coconut, which I avoid.<br />

Overall, we really enjoyed our meal at Tiffins, and look forward to dining there again on future trips. When we were given our check, we received this adorable piece of artwork to take home.<br />

You can read more about Tiffins, view their menu and hours, and make advance dining reservations on Disney's website <b><a href="https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/animal-kingdom/tiffins/" target="_blank">here</a></b>. Tiffins is definitely a great options for gluten free dining at Disney's Animal Kingdom if you can stomach the prices. Thankfully, we were able to save 20% with our Tables in Wonderland card.<br />

Mobile ordering is available at Disney owned and operated quick service restaurants at Disney World and Disneyland.<br />

If a quick service restaurant has an allergy-friendly menu, you should be able to mobile order if you have only one allergy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
If you have multiple food restrictions, or if your allergy is not a top 8 food allergy, you will need to speak to a cast member at the restaurant. At table service restaurants, you can talk to a chef about your dietary needs, but at quick service restaurants, you can ask to speak to a manager.<br />
<br />

In the celiac community, there is a lot of talk about gluten-friendly versus gluten free. At Disney World and Disneyland, gluten free options are listed as gluten-friendly on their allergy-friendly menus. There are disclaimers on menus, because Disney does not have dedicated gluten free kitchens. That being said, I feel very safe dining at Disney theme parks and resorts. The appropriate precautions are taken to keep food safe, but like anywhere, nothing is guaranteed, so advocate for yourself, and don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions.<br />

I feel comfortable mobile ordering at Disney World and Disneyland, but I always double check with the cast member who delivers my food to make sure that my meal is gluten free.<br />

The Electric Umbrella would usually not be my first choice for a quick service meal at Epcot, but I was excited to try the vegetable quinoa salad with cauliflower, carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, edamame, and agave lime dressing.<br />

My daughters wanted to eat at La Cantina de San Angel at the Mexico Pavilion. They do have safe gluten free options, but I was not in the mood for Mexican food.<br />

Sadly, I recently found out that the Electric Umbrella is closing this winter. Disney's website says that, <span style="font-family: inherit;">"n<span style="background-color: white;">ew dining options will be available in the future, featuring a variety of food and beverage selections."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">With Epcot's Liberty Inn closed for refurbishment, gluten free quick service options are much more limited, but you can still find a safe meal at <b><a href="http://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2015/09/sunshine-seasons-epcot.html" target="_blank">Sunshine Seasons</a></b> in The Land, <b><a href="http://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2018/09/katsura-grill-epcot.html" target="_blank">Katsura Grill</a></b> in the Japan Pavilion, and <b><a href="http://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2016/02/la-cantina-de-san-angel-epcot.html" target="_blank">La Cantina de San Angel</a></b> in the Mexico Pavilion. </span><br />

As I mentioned in my <b><a href="http://www.alexisgfadventures.com/2019/07/paris-gluten-free.html" target="_blank">Paris post</a></b>, I do a lot of research before traveling to Europe, or on any vacation. I always use the Find Me Gluten Free app, and reviews from fellow bloggers, if they are available. For Barcelona, my favorite posts were written by <b><a href="https://glutenfreecuppatea.co.uk/2018/07/14/gluten-free-in-barcelona-spain-dairy-free/" target="_blank">Becky Excell</a></b> and <b><a href="https://theglutenfreesuitcase.com/2018/09/23/barcelona-the-gluten-free-suitcase-guide/" target="_blank">The Gluten Free Suitcase</a></b>. I also like to read restaurant reviews on TripAdvisor once I decide where I might like to dine, and Instagram can come in handy too. I follow a lot of 100% gluten free restaurants, and bloggers who travel internationally. The Find Me Gluten Free app has a great filter for dedicated gluten free restaurants, and it is useful for finding restaurants that are nearby when we are out sightseeing. I could have eaten at all 100% gluten free restaurants in Barcelona, but when traveling with a group of 12 people, and you are the only one that needs to eat gluten free, that can be difficult.<br />

I decided to order a small portion of fish & chips. The fish and chips were both super crispy, and I enjoyed the seasoning that was on them, and the side of mango chutney I was given. I was also offered tartar sauce, but I declined, because I can't even look at it without being grossed out. The only downside to my meal was that everything was a little salty. Keep in mind that I love salt, but as I ate my fries, I tried to scrape off as much as I could.<br />

After I finished my fish & chips, my family dined at Gaudim Restaurant, which they found on TripAdvisor. It was also a short walk from our Airbnb, so it was easy to go to both restaurants together.<br />

<br />
I was worried about just walking into a restaurant I was unfamiliar with and asking about gluten free options, which is why I dined at The Fish & Chips Shop. I could not find any gluten free reviews of Gaudim online, and I did not want to take any chances.<br />
<br />

<br />
It turned out that major allergens were clearly marked on their menu, and I spoke to their owner/chef about gluten free options after my family finished eating.<br />
<br />

<br />
My family loved their paella so much, we decided to dine at Gaudim twice, and I was confident I could have a safe meal after talking to the chef.<br />
<br />

<br />
The paella is not naturally gluten free, as stated on the menu, because they add fried onions that are coated in a little bit of flour to it, but the chef made me a safe version without the fried onions when we returned two nights later.<br />

My husband and I shared an order of lamb and chicken paella. It really was the best paella I have ever had. I wish the lamb had been seasoned a bit more, but the rest of it was perfection. I seriously could not stop eating it, even when I was full.<br />

Another favorite restaurant of ours was Out of China, which was also a short walk from our Airbnb. My parents missed our first two nights in Barcelona, because their flight out of Charlotte was canceled, but they dined at both Gaudim and Out of China with us, because we went to both of them twice.<br />

Out of China is accredited by the <b><a href="http://www.celiacscatalunya.org/" target="_blank">Celiac Association of Catalonia</a></b>. Their website does not have an option for English, but I was able to translate it using Google Chrome on my Chromebook.<br />

As soon as I told our server that I have celiac disease, she brought me my own soy sauce, and put a post-it note next to me that signified that I was gluten free. I do not like soy sauce, because it is not sweet, and it is usually very salty, but the "soy sauce" at Out of China was sweet, and not salty at all. It tasted more like coconut aminos or teriyaki sauce than soy sauce.<br />

I was really excited to dine at Out of China, because they have gluten free Dim Sum, something I had not eaten since before my celiac diagnosis 11 years ago. The steamed Hargau filled with shrimp were so amazing, I ordered them on both visits. On their own, they were very good, but dipped in my gluten free soy sauce, they were Dim Sum perfection. They were a celiac's dream come true for me, like so many gluten free sweet and savory dishes I have eaten on our summer trips to Europe.<br />

I also recommend the fried bread, which reminded me of the fried pizza dough I had in Italy last summer. I only ordered it on our second visit, and ate it with pieces of meat from my pork spareribs.<br />

Out of China's carrot cake with cinnamon ice cream was pretty amazing too. My daughters and nieces loved both desserts, but were evenly split on which one was their favorite. My mom let me taste her hazelnut mochi. She also ordered a passion fruit mochi, which was her favorite. It was good, but not what I expected, because I am used to eating mochi ice cream in the United States.<br />

My gluten-eating daughters and nieces loved the mini BBQ pork buns so much, they begged us to go back to Out of China our last night in Barcelona. The adults in our party were happy to oblige, because we enjoyed our first meal there so much.<br />

After doing the Rick Steves Barri Gotic walk from my Barcelona tour book, and visiting the Cathedral of Barcelona, we had lunch at <b><a href="http://www.envillebarcelona.es/en/" target="_blank">En Ville</a></b>, another restaurant certified by the Celiac Association of Catalonia. According to En Ville's website, all of their dishes are safe for people with celiac, and their food is a blend of Catalonian and French cuisine. A review on the Find Me Gluten Free app mentioned that they do have gluten-filled bread if you request it, and it is on their online menu, but everything else is gluten free.<br />

The only menu we were given was a price fixed menu that included a drink, a starter, a main course, and dessert. I did notice other people in the restaurant being served large plates of Spanish ham, so I am not sure if our server presented us with all available options. My brother was told he could not order individual items when he asked. I thought the price was reasonable, but my daughters and nieces had a hard time eating all the courses they were given.<br />

While in Barcelona, I visited three 100% gluten free bakeries. All were within walking distance of our Airbnb. Jansana was closest, and it was my favorite.<br />

Our first night in Barcelona, I stopped at Jansana to have some dessert while my family ordered, and had appetizers at Gaudim. There were so many beautiful pastries to choose from, I had a hard time making a decision. I ended up picking the tartaleta de fruita, because I love fruit, and I miss these kinds of pastries from my gluten-eating days. It was just as delicious as it looked.<br />

I also bought two barretes to go, and a bag of almond cookies, that my aunt and mom devoured later in the trip when I was out sightseeing. The barrettes were some of the best gluten free bread I have ever had, and I am glad I sampled one fresh with some butter when we got back to our Airbnb.<br />

The almond cookies were crunchy, and not too sweet. They were good, but I had hoped that they would be soft inside, and have a more intense almond flavor.<br />

Our last full day in Barcelona, I had lunch at Jansana with my husband. Looking back on these photos, I am wondering why I did not try one of those amazing looking donuts displayed in the window!<br />
<br />

<br />
Compared to the first evening when I stopped in near closing, there were many more pastries to choose from, which made it even harder to decide what I wanted.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUBtkbvYyPNZjUZzalR6V2ka-aYO75YSA125dh2cKStw_FzP12LJriXiqUmCIITHkPSAfERqwodymN20YhgyxGMUKG_zvReM_yLup_PROw-RbrzpFk9FsxmtZvMtDVIUBgQcIcHwzldKSF/s1600/IMG_8571.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUBtkbvYyPNZjUZzalR6V2ka-aYO75YSA125dh2cKStw_FzP12LJriXiqUmCIITHkPSAfERqwodymN20YhgyxGMUKG_zvReM_yLup_PROw-RbrzpFk9FsxmtZvMtDVIUBgQcIcHwzldKSF/s640/IMG_8571.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I had to have something savory, and not just stuff my face with pastries, so I chose a mini quiche with spinach, cheese, and what appeared to be ham. It was quite good, but I wish Jansana offered a few sandwiches on their amazing bread.<br />
<br />

<br />
I asked which pastries were local to Barcelona, because I love to try local dishes when we travel.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw3JamL2fUTiBN0uiEe-PttRkilOhEIFK5XMu67E8WV1mHBJpNKhngajjnkjzZMOpS8riWOKjwW8tiUy6VYBAuBqrkrCMhMF-MsWpTmhrdq3DlwcHkaTJ9seBFIz1OFu9jE6KVmL-1qYFH/s1600/IMG_8572.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1573" data-original-width="1600" height="628" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw3JamL2fUTiBN0uiEe-PttRkilOhEIFK5XMu67E8WV1mHBJpNKhngajjnkjzZMOpS8riWOKjwW8tiUy6VYBAuBqrkrCMhMF-MsWpTmhrdq3DlwcHkaTJ9seBFIz1OFu9jE6KVmL-1qYFH/s640/IMG_8572.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The first one I chose tasted like puff pastry with sugar, and I am pretty sure it had almonds on it. The other local pastry I tried was like a sweet bread with powdered sugar. Both of them were delicious.<br />
<br />

<br />
I had to buy some bread after trying it earlier in the week. The bread that looks like ciabatta was really good. I so wish I could buy bread like this in the United States!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
I also bought a palmera without chocolate to eat later. The pastry itself was amazingly flaky, but the butter taste was a little off for me, making me wonder if it was dairy free.<br />
<br />

During one of our afternoon breaks at our Airbnb, my aunt and I walked to Pasticelia, another 100% gluten free bakery in Barcelona.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
While you are there, you can pick up some gluten free dry pasta. I purchased this brand during our trip to Italy last year at the Rome airport before we flew home.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
Like Jansana, there were so many beautiful pastries, I had a hard time choosing what I wanted to have for dessert later.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Their bread looked great too, but there is only so much food one person can eat!<br />
<br />

<br />
In the end, I decided to buy a nutella stuffed madelaine, and a pastry with apple filling.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
My daughters and I thought the madelaine was really good, and the pastry with apples was amazing. The crust was so delicious, I wanted to keep it all to myself, but when my girls are around, they want to sample all of my food.<br />

While in Barcelona, I also stopped at Amiette Gluten Free Bakery to pick up lunch to go on one of the days my family was buying meat, cheese, and gluten-filled bread to eat at our Airbnb.<br />

<br />

There were plenty of beautiful bread options, and in hindsight, I wish I had bought some.<br />
<br />

<br />
Like the other bakeries I visited, I thought the prices at Amiette were quite reasonable compared to gluten free bakeries in the United States.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
I had plenty of pastries to choose from, but again, I decided to buy a palmera, which I regretted. The palmier (elephant ear) I had in Paris was so good, but the two palmera I ate in Barcelona both tasted strange to me, because they tasted like margarine instead of butter. I loved butter so much when I was a little girl, my family called me the butter queen, and I still love it as an adult.<br />

I really enjoyed the spinach empanada I bought at Amiette for lunch.<br />

My mini chocolate croissant was great too.<br />

The final pastry I chose tasted a little odd to me, like the palmera, so I only ate a couple of bites.<br />

Our last full day in Barcelona, my husband and I had coffee with a friend of his at Galeria Cosmo. My decaf cafe con leche was so good! I rarely drink coffee when we are out in the United States, because I usually don't enjoy it, but I had amazing coffee in Europe.<br />

We visited Barcelona this summer, because our 10-night Mediterranean cruise on the Disney Magic started and ended in Barcelona.<br />

The morning we had to leave for the port, my husband bought some pastries for me from Jansana while I packed. The two with powdered sugar were amazing, but I was not a fan of the one dipped in chocolate, because of the weird butter taste. The pastry on the left had a delicious chocolate filling I really enjoyed, and the one on the right was a favorite that I first tried at lunch earlier in the week.<br />

Up to this point, I had been eating fresh fruit, and Nana Joes ocean beach granola bars I brought from home for breakfast every day in Disneyland Paris, Paris, and Barcelona. Finding quick and easy gluten free breakfast options can be a challenge on vacation, plus I like to start my day with a healthy meal, and I worry about gaining too much weight on long vacations. I don't believe in dieting, so I try not to go too crazy with what I eat on vacation, and I am constantly sharing my food with my family.<br />

I was sad to say goodbye to Barcelona, because there were so many more restaurants and sites I wanted to visit, but that just means that we will have to return again soon. The next time we are in Barcelona, I hope to dine at Ristorante Pizzeria Il Piccolo Focone, which I have heard makes amazing gluten free pizza in a separate space from their gluten-filled pizza. I would also like visit Gula Sana, Ciliadictos, Cal Marius 449, and Copasetic.<br />
<br />
What are your favorite restaurants and bakeries for gluten free dining in Barcelona?<br />
<br />
On a side note, I do not speak any Spanish, but my husband speaks enough for us to get by, and everyone I encountered in Barcelona spoke English well, except for the woman who helped me at Amiette Gluten Free Bakery.Alexis's Gluten Free Adventureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09853821490414497767noreply@blogger.com2
