restaurant for gluten free, dairy free vegetarians in downtown dc

[Anonymous]

Meeting a family who are gluten free, dairy free vegetarians, somewhere in downtown DC, probably near the mall or Penn Quarter. They eat fish. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Rasika? (You'll want a reservation, though).

Also check out Founding Farmers--they have a decent vegetarian section on their menu.

Zengo has excellent options for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets. It's right by the Chinatown metro, so not too far from your preferred location.

The term is pescetarian, not vegetarian. Vegetarians do not eat any meat including fish.

Yep, they're not vegetarian. You could also try Busboys and Poets.

Thai or Japanese. You could try Momijo for Japanese or Royal Thai. There's also a Burmese restaurant on 6th street.

+1 Zengo has a separate gluten-free menu that is almost as big as their regular menu. They are very accommodating.

Much of the soy sauce sold in the US has gluten in it.

Indian food is a good bet.

Also, here are some recs from Urban Spoon:

Ugh, what's the point of living if you don't eat any of those?

Jaleo would probably work.

You do realize that people with celiac can ultimately die if they continue to eat a diet full of gluten. If given a choice of living over not being able to eat glute, which one would you pick? I certainly hope you never contract a debilitating illness during the course of your life.
