Hi Doris,

 

Enjoy the coast.  It's been a while since I've gone over and I don't recognize any of those places.  My favorite place is a Thai place that is down by Nye Beach.  If you're not familiar with the area, just ask anyone and they can tell you where that is.  Then ask around about the Thai restaurant.  They made me a plate of steamed veggies and chicken with peanut sauce that was worth traveling back for and I will do that again!  This is the same area as the Savory Cafe, so they're all in the same little area.

 

There is a hotel overlooking the ocean (several) that has a cafe that I go to but I've no idea the name so that's no help.  They've done great at salads that are safe with bay shrimp, which I love. 

 

There was a McGrath's Seafood Restaurant.  They have a GF menu (at least the one in Corvallis and in Eugene do).  One tip.  Instead of eating in the dining room, go into the bar and order from there.  It's slower paced and your wait staff will be able to spoil you more.  It has never failed for me with them.  If they make an error they bend over backward to fix it and make it all good. 

 

Mo's has some salad options for GF and I'm not sure what else.  I think they did have a few options.  I'm not a fan. LOL....in my pre gfcf days I was a "Chowder Bowl" fan.  They make a creamier thicker chowder that I preferred.  It's a great debate on the coast the Chower Bowl or Mo's.  The Chowder Bowl made me a wonderful safe salad and was very careful not to make me sick.

 

There is no Whole Foods.  The Fred Meyer has a health food selection with the usual basics.  Nothing extravagant but you can make do there.  ALSO, there is a co-op. http://www.oceanafoods.org/  They are small but had a good basic selection last time I was there and I scored some things our local co-op doesn't carry to try.

 

Sorry I can't help more.  When I do go to the coast, I pack my own food for the most part and stay at a freind's house.  Everyone else is happy with me cooking...or knows how to cook for me so we eat in for the most part.

 

I hope you have a most wonderful trip and if you find a great place with some gfcf options, please post so I'll know when I go over next.  It would be nice to have an option or two.
