Harrisonburg gluten-friendly food tour, stop #1: Table 1888 🥂
I’m still thinking about the beef tartare. I ordered it without bread, and the Dijon mustard and truffle aioli made it an easy 10/10. The chocolate torte with raspberry coulis was another highlight—that coulis is unreal. And if you like port, get the 10-year tawny.
There’s a range of price points, and most plates are gluten-free or can be adjusted. The staff really knew the menu, which made ordering so much easier. They’re also working on gluten-free crackers for the charcuterie boards! And yes, you can buy a round for the kitchen 🫶
A few gluten-free heads-ups: skip the battered fries and crab cakes; burgers don’t have GF buns; and ask whether any charcuterie cheese has a b**r wash. The pork chop can be made GF without the orzo. They bake focaccia in-house, so flour cross-contact is possible—especially important to discuss with the staff if you have celiac disease.
For drinks, I had Sunflowers, but I’d go back for A Study in Scarlet. The Chimney Sweep has b**r in it, so keep that in mind. The crème brûlée is GF if you’re in a dessert mood, too.
Drinks: 8/10 · Food: 9.5/10 · GF experience: 7/10
Where should I go next? 👀
