From time to time we are contacted from the owners or managers of various restaurants throughout the United States which offer gluten-free menus and they want to be featured here at Gluten Free Restaurants. Here is one of these occasions, and the person that contacted us did such a great job of providing information that we are printing the following information with the manager’s permission:
Del Mar Rendezvous restaurant has been serving gluten-free dishes for all five years of our existence in the Del Mar California area and I recently created a gluten-free menu (attached) which we have available to our guests in the restaurant and advertise as available on our lunch and dinner menus. We also post the gluten-free menu on our website in both an html and .pdf format, have separate buttons on our computer for the gluten-free menu to avoid confusion, and have either myself or the other manager double check that the items were made as requested by the kitchen before they head to the tables. In order to create gluten-free dishes we purchase a much more expensive gluten-free soy sauce but do not feel it fair to charge more for the plates, even though this affects our margins, so we do not. I look forward to hearing back and being a part of your wonderful resource.
The Gluten-Free Menu is available here or you can download the PDF of the Gluten-Free Menu here. If you’d like to give it a try, a map and directions to the restaurant can also be found here.
Some other notes about our restaurant and our Gluten-Free Menu:
- Our Gluten-free menu has over 40 items.
- We have 18 lunch specials on our Gluten-free lunch menu (11 of which are $9.95 or less).
- We have been making Gluten-Free dishes for the entire 5 years of our restaurant’s existence (and never had a complaint or reported incident of anyone becoming ill from our food, Gluten-Free or otherwise)
- On our computers we have a section dedicated to our Gluten-Free items which specifically instructs the kitchen to make the dishes with our Gluten-free soy sauce and/or make other modifications as needed. Additionally the servers are required to notify the kitchen and one of the managers whenever a table requests a Gluten-free dish as an additional fail-safe.
