Posana is not what you think of when you think of gluten-free dining. This beautiful contemporary American restaurant's chef and co-owner, Peter Pollay, wooed his wife Martha through cooking. When she was diagnosed with celiac disease, his first instinct was to get in the kitchen and cook. After amassing a variety of recipes, in 2009, Pollay opened Posana as an ode to Martha — with a focus on seasonal, local and sustainable foods. His wife is not the only one who's benefited. The lobster mac 'n' cheese is a fave.

Cheddar-chive biscuits, carrot muffins, chocolate doughnuts and orange-cranberry scones don't exactly sound gluten-free, but that's exactly what's on the menu at Wheat's End Cafe in Chicago. Owners Amelia Fonti and Susan McMillan are serious about their celiac safety. The two started cooking gluten-free when a close friend was diagnosed with celiac disease. Around the same time, Fonti learned that she too was gluten-intolerant. The result was Wheat's End Artisan Foods, a 100-percent-gluten-free food company, and Wheat's End Cafe, a friendly haven for coffee anytime and gluten-free brunch on Sundays. Prosciutto Benedict on a gluten-free English muffin, anyone? Yes!

Cafe Gratitude, a transplant from San Francisco, is all about giving thanks — to the world, to the environment, to your self. That spirit of being generous and grateful every day translates to a menu that honors the earth with a dedication to local farmers, sustainable agriculture and environmentally friendly products. The organic, vegan menu is also mostly gluten-free. Try the Open-Hearted (gluten-free pancakes made with buckwheat and flax) or the "I Am Fortified," a tasty quinoa or brown rice bowl with sprouts and vegetables.
