The Columbus culinary scene continues to push for more locally made and fresh ingredients to prepare dishes that are creative and delicious for all to enjoy.

When you are gluten-free, finding great items you can eat on a menu can be difficult or nearly impossible. Luckily, restaurants like Northstar Café offer carefully prepared, creatively imagined, gluten-free dishes that will have you coming back again and again.

Here are some of our gluten-free favorites to try at Northstar Café.

Buddha Bowl

Make all your GF dreams come true with the Buddha Bowl. Choose between organic tofu or roasted chicken to accompany long-grain brown rice and colorful veggies topped with peanut sauce. This dish is a perfect choice if you’re wanting to warm up (and fill up) before your busy day.
