The Elephant Bar, located in ABQ Uptown, offers
great food at reasonable prices in visually interesting
surroundings. There are two gluten-free meals on
their recently updated menu, which also includes a
disclaimer indicating that the restaurant cannot
guarantee 100% that your meal will be gluten free.
(This disclaimer is now common at restaurants.)
Pictured here is the seafood option. The trout was
fresh and perfectly cooked and the entire meal was
excellent. Even though it is not listed among the
gluten-free menu choices, I have also ordered the
light and delicious Fire Grilled Chicken Citrus Salad
which is made gluten free by omitting the candied
walnuts and the blue cheese crumbles and requesting
herb vinaigrette in place of the usual salad dressing.
The Elephant Bar is crowded for lunch and packed on
weekend nights. It may be the same on week nights,
too. Fortunately, they take reservations.
Note: do not order anything steamed - they use their
steamer baskets to cook noodles.
