Check out those adorable furry faces above. I visit the Boston area on a regular basis to see family, and those two adorable pups are part of the package. (Honestly, they’re the best welcome crew.)
Unlike most of the trips I take, I don’t do much research before I head to the Boston area. That’s because several of my relatives there have celiac disease, and they are wonderful at sussing out local spots for me. It makes for an incredibly relaxing time whenever I visit, and I wanted to pass along a few reliable spots in case you find yourself in Boston or its historic surrounding towns.
Elephant Walk: This Cambodian-French restaurant — located in Boston’s South End neighborhood — is a local institution founded in 1991. While not dedicated gluten-free, the menu is full of GF options, plus many that are dairy-free and vegetarian (there are also vegan options). Many of the traditional Khmer dishes are naturally gluten-free and require no modification at all. (Try the Amok Royale, a curried coconut ‘custard’ with shrimp, catfish, scallop and minced crab steamed in a banana leaf cup.)
