💡 Ouray Celiac Tips

  • Brown Dog Pizza has a GF crust — best in town for celiacs who want pizza. Shared kitchen, so ask about cross-contamination.
  • Caravan Middle Eastern — many naturally GF Middle Eastern dishes (falafel, hummus, kebabs) but no dedicated GF menu. Ask about preparation.
  • Ouray Hot Springs — no GF food at the pool facility. Eat in town before or after your soak.
  • Seasonal closures — some restaurants close in shoulder season (Oct-Nov, Apr-May). Call ahead.
  • Near Ridgway and Telluride — see our Telluride guide for more options nearby.
