Gluten Free at the French Laundry

My husband and I were in Napa for his birthday and I got so lucky with getting TFL reservations the second they became available. This is the first Michelin Star restaurant either of us have ever been to so we went into the evening not knowing what to expect and were blown away! I also have a gluten allergy, and I knew TFL had invented Cup4Cup brand GF flour that I use all the time at home. I had mentioned this ahead of time when the concierge reached out after getting the reservation. I was so excited to know that their menu was very easily suited for GF and that I’d get the same level of experience as my husband. The servers were so knowledgeable and great at explaining any modifications that my dishes had for no gluten. The differences were overall pretty small, such as my quail came with a creamy rice instead of creamed wheat and of course the bread roll was different but probably the best GF roll I’ve ever had. Overall this experience exceeded all expectations and the food was phenomenal. I could not believe how many desserts we received and knowing the care that went into the GF preparations for all of them truly took the cake!
