⚠️gluten free EAT OR ORDER WITH CAUTION⚠️So , you’ll WERE my go to place on doordash I even came in to dine with my ex once. I ordered thru uber yesterday the meat wasn’t as tender. Lentils were firm and not cooked thru and potato’s didn’t have the flavor I’ve always loved. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ I found out y’all mfs never gave me gluten free injera any other time I’ve ordered I got hospitalized 2 years ago and around that time was eating yall heavy . On door dash yall lazy mfs made no option so I always put it in the special instructions. On uber last night I put it in the instructions and decided to buy extra. That’s when I noticed the gluten free injera from yall is a coffee brown. Cause my food was wrapped in regular injera even after leaving a note . DO YOU UNDERSTAND YALL COULDVE KILLED ME. IF IN THE SPECIAL instructions they say gluten free injera and you don’t wanna take a loss or get sued HOW ABOUT FIXING YOUR ONLINE MENU MESS. I only review places I have an issue with and this is a serious one . I’m unfortunately going to have to make some phone calls cause I can’t imagine I’m the only one going thru this and this is insane. Y’all have been giving me my allergy everytime I’ve ordered shame on y’all.

Starting with the fact that I’m a gluten free person and while I been at several uncountable number of pizza places in the United States, this is still the best gluten free pizza I ever tried in more than a decade, and all and every single staff member are amazing.

Do not waste your time walking 16 minutes from the station to go to this place because you saw a great review on Google. First of all they don’t open their kitchen till 4pm and secondly, if before 4 you cannot even get a gluten free sandwich. Wont see me again.

The food was amazing at the beginning of the meal but by the end felt more pedestrian. Similarly, the service dropped off as the restaurant got busier. Here's the real rub: my wife has celiac, which we communicated to the restaurant with our reservation. We were told there would be no problem accommodating her. At the beginning of the meal, we felt *very* comfortable with the care the staff was taking--everyone who came to the table identified the gluten-free dishes, which were uniformly excellent through the first three courses of the five-course menu. But when our mains came out, hers (1) was not the thing she ordered, and (2) came with a crumpet. We weren't immediately suspicious about that latter point--the gluten-free bread options thus far had been excellent. But another server passing our table spotted the crumpet and told us that it had gluten, fortunately before my wife took a bite. My wife initially meant to just eat the rest of the dish even though it was the wrong one--but then got concerned about whether she might just have been given someone else's order. We had to flag down yet another server to ask for an explanation for why her main was something different from what she ordered. Finally, the sommelier came over with an explanation of sorts--apparently the main she ordered could not be made without gluten, and so the dish with a big lump of wheat bread was purportedly the gluten-free alternative. No one had told us ahead of time that her original order couldn't be satisfied, and so we were left a bit confused and a bit more concerned. All in all, these were hiccups we would be able to overlook at a restaurant charging a quarter of the price, but this was frankly a deeply disappointing experience at a Michelin-starred restaurant (and at this price point).

Maybe the ultimate romantic restaurant in DC? What a delight of an establishment - cozy, intimate, incredibly chic and exceeded our expectations in every way. The menu is robust and can be modified well to meet any dietary requirements - my wife, who is gluten and dairy free, had no problem putting together an incredible meal. The calamari is one of the best I've had in DC, and we both enjoyed steak frittes and the beef bourguignon as the main course - would highly recommend both. The atmosphere is like none other - the alcoves that allow intimate dining for two are a must to enjoy conversation while still taking in the Parisian chic of the decorations, lighting and other touches that make you a Francophile for the evening. The service was warm, friendly and knew the menu very well to help with the dietary recommendations referenced above. Simply put - if you are looking for a very unique, romantic and quality dining experience, you will not regret Bistro Cacao.

Truly Phenomenal! One of the best meals I've ever had in DC! The atmosphere and vibes are perfect. I love to bring out-of-towner friends here when they visit. Even my foodie friends are blown away. They do a good job of accommodating gluten and dairy free restrictions as well.

I had a great gluten free experience here. The server was knowledgeable and explained the entire allergy-friendly process from order to delivery. They made menu modifications and a manager delivered my meal with additional assurance that it was cross contamination free. Highly recommended for those that are celiac or gluten sensitive.

So good! Top restaurant in dc for me. Love the flavor combinations . Usually fusion isn’t my favorite but it’s so well done here. Pakistani and North Indian food is what i grew up on and these flavors hit so well. So many gluten free options, knowledgeable staff on allergies. Loved everything we tried and can’t wait to come back and try more on the menu. Shout out to Dawn for such great service and being so knowledgeable!

I love this place! The food options are so creative and I love that everything is healthy. They offer lots of gluten free options and I love their giant chocolate/peanut butter cups. I also love the ambiance! Their patio is so cute and heated/enclosed in the winter so you can enjoy it year round. The manager and staff at the location near Union Market are very helpful and friendly as well. My new favorite spot!
