Gluten-Free Block Island Guide
My wife and I have visited Block Island almost every year since 2014. To say that we like the place would be an understatement.
Whether you’re coming here for a day trip or a week-long vacation, there are plenty of things to do and places to eat – that’s why you’re here, right?
Listed below are some of our favorite gluten-free restaurants on Block Island. They range from casual to fancy, so there’s something for everyone!
As with any restaurant, avoiding cross-contamination is not guaranteed. Make sure to use your best judgment if you have a severe gluten intolerance.
