Eating Gluten-Free at Kapnos Kouzina
Kapnos Kouzina is one of my favorite restaurants in the Washington DC area. Their Greek food is incredibly delicious. My parents even said the Greek food here is some of the best they’ve had — which is saying something since they used to live in Greece!
It is so easy to eat gluten-free at Kapnos Kouzina. They don’t have a gluten-free menu, but the waiters have all been able to help me navigate the menu to find what is, or can be made, gluten-free. And they always check with the chef to make sure everything is gluten-free. It’s a little more difficult to eat dairy-free. Many of the dishes contain yogurt, or feta cheese. So we usually get at least one dish that ends up having dairy. I don’t eat here all the time, so I don’t worry too much about the dairy!
Kapnos Kouzina is in Bethesda, MD. There’s also a Kapnos on the Corner of 14th and W St, NW in Washington DC by the same owner.
Check out the pics below to see what gluten-free dishes I’ve had at Kapnos Kouzina. Most of the dishes are also paleo and low carb!
I always start with Taramosalata, which is carp roe, caviar, and cauliflower. I order it with crudité to make it gluten-free!
Roasted Beets with walnut espuma, grapefruit, and mint. I love beets and the walnut espuma makes this dish so good!
Marinated King Salmon Kebab. So good!
Rack of lamb with crispy baby potatoes, rosemary, and tzatziki. One of the dishes we order that comes with dairy and is so worth it! The tzatziki is so good.
Shrimp Kastoria with gigandes, spinach, leeks, and black garlic.
Roasted Cauliflower with roasted green olive relish, and feta. A great side to go with the main dishes!
