Every year a new dining craze explodes across the Valley and in 2010, gluten free dining took center stage. Numerous restaurants throughout the Phoenix area have now added gluten-free options to their menus to accommodate diners with celiac disease or specific wheat allergies. Instead of avoiding the bread, pasta and pizza, now diners can enjoy the best that carbs have to offer while, remaining gluten free. By going gluten free, these restaurants have managed to turn these formerly food no-no’s into a big delicious yes.
Nourish
Nourish is the ultimate dining destination for a vegan, lactose-free and gluten-free friendly menu.

Though Nourish can accommodate any diet restriction, the dishes are so varied and delicious that it you won’t even miss the gluten, promise!
