The city of Philadelphia is the largest metropolis of the state of Pennsylvania, it receives millions of domestic and international visitors annually, and The City Hall, Liberty Bell, and Philadelphia Zoo are some notable attractions of this city.

Now, as you know that untreated celiac can advance to a life-threatening level in people with this auto-immune disorder, and only gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, etc.) triggers this allergy, we have carefully constructed a list of some tasteful restaurant of this city, that takes precaution with celiac people.

5. Fox & Son Fancy Corn Dogs
The funnel cakes, corndogs, and poutine (all gluten-free) are just some of the many particularities of Fox & Son, hands-down this place is one of the best bistros in town for someone who has Celiac disease. People with Celiac have to forever suppress their desire to bite some best tastes, if such a case is with you or someone you know, be ready for a surprise. The many reviews told us that even the gluten-eaters couldn’t tell the difference with the gluten-free funnel cakes and poutine at Fox & Son, thus people with this disease should be able to enjoy their first of many things in years if they just pay a visit. Only one fact is unfortunate with this restaurant, it is their opening hours. They close this awesome place pretty early in the evening.

Opening hours: Mon - Sat: 9:30am - 6pm; Sun: 9:30am - 5pm
6. Rex 1516
Editor's Note: Photo taken from the establishment's official social account
If someone wishes to satisfy their taste buds, they should come at Rex 1516. It’s a southern inspired eatery in Philadelphia that has a comprehensive menu, featuring brunch, lunch, dinner, and drinks. The interesting part about this restaurant is that they have most of their Tex-Mex options in gluten-free version too. However please be advised that while taking every caution to not trigger a person’s gluten allergies, they do not have separate fryers for different types of eaters. Thus, it finally depends on the level of sensitivity, although people didn’t report any such complaints. If your Celiac case is worst, simply avoid eating here.

7. The Couch Tomato Café, Manayunk
Editor's Note: Photo taken from the establishment's official social account
Along with people with gluten allergies, we would like to suggest this restaurant to people who are excessively conscious of their overall meals. The Couch Tomato has a clear notion to utilize only the fresh, organic and locally grown produce in this restaurant, thus if their resourcing gets delayed, you would probably have to leave without dining. Everything that they use is natural, free of antibiotic (including meats), as far as their vegetarian supplies are concerned it’s GMO-free too.

8. Slice Pizza
Editor's Note: Photo taken from the establishment's official social account
Slice is another B.Y.O.B (bring your own bottle) type pizzeria on our list, which is gluten-free and chemical-free. This restaurant also utilizes only organic and naturally grown produce, but one step ahead, Slice’s kitchen would only take in free-range animals (chicken and beef). No ingredient in their kitchen is artificial, it’s a must visit restaurant if someone is overly careful about his health. The menu is comprehensive but notable things are pizzas, stromboli, and calzone, of which every pizza can be served in the gluten-free variant.

9. SouthHouse
South house is a restaurant and bar, and this can be an ideal choice for someone searching for New-American taste in Philadelphia. The food customization is the particularity of this place, and people can entirely tailor their food orders, like they can choose their plate, the amount of protein they need, their choice of dip, and can pay the average of the overall cost of that mix. Furthermore, the first thing your server would ask you here is if you have some kind of food allergies, so that they can take precautions. Several types of gluten-free brunch, lunch, and dinners are available.

10. P.S. & Co.
Plenty of restaurant names have been shared on this list, which was rather similar, thus at the final spot of our list, we are taking a special entry - Pure Sweets & Company. This restaurant proudly announces that it is 100% vegan, 0% GMO, fully organic, and lists only the gluten-free items in its menu. The remarkable feature of P.S. & Co. should be its collection of cold-pressed juices, beverages, desserts, and sweets. Since sweets and beverages have hardly any gluten, one can satisfy his sweet tooth as well. All the sweets, cakes, and juices can be customized here.
P.S. & Co.

This list isn’t just for Celiacs
Although the subject is still under trial, some clinical reports have indicated that taking a gluten-free diet helps in the treatment of autism, then there are many types of wheat allergies when people have to eat gluten-free without having celiac, and also bloating or abdominal pain are some situation during which a doctor would suggest to skip taking heavy and gluten for a day or two. It’s a fact that gluten doesn’t worth much in our nourishment, and it is also not at all essential to the non-celiacs. Thus, everyone should try eating gluten-free meals more, it may not be essential but it’s not harmful either.
