What Gluten Free Options are Available at Public House in Monroe?

Virtually all of our menu can be prepared gluten free. We have a dedicated fryer, grill, toaster, waffle iron and utensils. Our cooks change their gloves and follow all procedures.

We also have gluten free bread, house croutons and pasta. In addition, our pastry chef has at least 1 and sometimes up to 3 gluten free desserts. Let your server know of your gluten sensitivities and they can give you all your options!

Why did you choose to offer such an extensive gluten free menu?

We have a family member with a severe allergies, however it is to fish and shellfish. Over the years, it made us aware of ingredients in condiments, etc. For example, some Worcestershire sauces contains anchovies! So when we started getting requests for gluten free foods, we took it seriously.

What other dietary restrictions does Public House Food + Drink accommodate?

We accommodate dairy free, vegetarian and vegan dining needs! Customers can request Daiya cheese for their meal, and one of their popular vegan dishes is Asian Cauliflower.

Of course always ask our servers if you have a food allergy concern. For example, our french onion soup (as are all french onion soups) is made with beef broth. However some people assume french onion soup is vegetarian.

What kind of oil do you use for frying?

We use soybean oil for all fried foods.

Are there any other unique menu features you’d like my followers to know? 

We use local grass fed beef, and all of our sauces, dips and desserts are made in house.

We partner with many Michigan and local vendors whenever we can. Sometimes it is not possible to get the quantity of an ingredient we need from local purveyors, but we try to support small business. For example, we are able to get pure Michigan maple syrup from Curry Farms in Charlevoix. We serve coffee from local Frenchtown Roasters. Find a list of our partners on our website.

We have a dedicated pastry chef that creates our desserts from fresh, REAL ingredients; butter, eggs, cream, cream cheese, etc. And of course also creates gluten free AND vegan desserts.

I know you have many special events, such as Afternoon Teas and Food & Wine dinners. Are gluten free options available for those events? 

Regarding special events, yes we do offer gf options for all of them! In addition, we happily offer substitutions and additions to any of our menu items, although some may have an additional cost and some do not.
