If you follow a gluten-free diet, you know the struggle of ordering out at restaurants. You’ll be happy to know that there are some delicious options in and around Wilmington—and that we’ve decided to list a few that are especially yummy!
Fork N Cork Burgers
If you’ve been in Wilmington for any amount of time, you’ve (hopefully) had a Fork ’N Cork burger. They are some of the best in town. Thankfully, they carry a gluten-free bun option that has an amazing taste and texture. No, really. It’s some of the best gluten-free bread we’ve had.
Baked Goods at Cravings
Aptly named, Cravings has all the baked goodies, and we can’t stop thinking about them. They have an extensive menu sans gluten, including cookies, protein muffins, cinnamon buns, donuts, chickpea blondies, black bean brownies, cake, and even biscuit mix! Their healthy menu covers all your cravings, gluten-free and guilt-free.
Pasta at Nicola’s
Nicola’s is famous for its homemade pasta, and there’s a good reason for it. They serve a few gluten-free pastas, like Bucatini all’Amatriciana, Penne Vodka, Pappardelle, Pasta Al Forno, and Penne Pesto. And truly? You can’t go wrong. Thank goodness wine is gluten-free, because you’re going to want to pair these with a glass!
Pho Basil’s Glass Noodles
Is there anything better than a big, filling bowl of pho at Pho Basil? Those glass noodles are so good, you forget they’re gluten-free. And with the weather turning colder, we don’t need to tell you that this is about to become a weekly craving.
Brunch at Drift Coffee + Kitchen
Few meals provide a better start to your day than the breakfast, brunch, and lunch options at Drift Coffee + Kitchen. With several locations in and around Wilmington, Drift has quickly become a local staple. They offer gluten-free options on their extensive menu, which includes sandwiches, breakfast bowls, pastries, platters, and more!
Ceviche at Savorez
Ordering ceviche at Savorez for lunch feels like a total splurge that is still healthy. While they offer different ceviches seasonally, check out their menu staple the langousta y coco. This lobster ceviche is served in a citrus coconut ginger marinade with avocado, cilantro, onion, and red bell pepper.
Buckwheat Crepes at Our Crepes and More
Order your favorite crepe (sweet or savory) at Our Crepes and More off Oleander Drive and ask for a buckwheat flour crepe. Folks online say they’re as good as what you find strolling the streets of Paris, and while we can’t speak to that, we can confidently say you’re going to be thrilled with your choice.
Lovey’s Market Hot Bar
Lovey’s Market is a local haven for anyone with special dietary considerations. Their hot bar includes an array of antipasti, proteins, greens, and the tastiest cooked veggies.
