I have had to travel to DC a few times, and have usually not had any trouble
eating when I focus on the downtown restaurants. They all seem to be quite
aware and willing to accommodate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whole Foods Market is in DC.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IF you like Mexican - Definitely try Austin Grill - they have a lot of locations in the DC area - and they have been gluten aware for a long time - I went to the one in Old Town Alexandria. Look up their locations on line. It's a kid-friendly place also and not at all expensive.

at union station across from the capitol. You can get GF pizza at UNO's pizza. It's upstairs from the main lobby. Great pizza and GF beer( Redbridge).
Also in the basement at the food court, the Indian restaurant is Gf except the bread(nan).
Lots of places to eat in DC.

there is a great group in the area http://dcceliacs.typepad.com/<http://dcceliacs.typepad.com/>
they have ALL the restaurants listed- when I visited my aunt there it was a life saver!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My favorite restaurant was the buffet at the Native American Museum. They mark which foods are gluten free and they are deliscious! There is a Legal Sea Foods at Crystal city I think it was. They have a website to find locations. They had gluten free rolls!
