Greater Lafayette GF Restaurant Guide
REMEMBER: It is always wise to ask at the restaurant about Gluten Free items or ingredients and/or to call ahead and speak
with the chef. This list was compiled by group members based on their experiences. NO ONE can assure you of a safe meal. Please use your own judgement. Links go to the most current allergen information on the company's site.
Chick-fil-A: chargrilled chicken and most sides and dressings are GF,ask for nutritional info.
Chipotle: except for the flour tortilla, all items are GF. Let server know to change gloves and wash work area first to avoid cross contamination.

Hei Sei: sashimi and sushi (no tempura, fake crab, eel, fish roe, or kampyo) ]are mostly GF, salad dressing is not GF; bring your own soy sauce. Almost all other sauces and dishes have gluten.

eel, tamago (egg),fish roe or kampyo) or sashimi and bring your own soy sauce.
