Absolutely the BEST GLUTEN FREE meal! From meatballs & onion rings to pasta and then topped off with the gooey chocolate chip cookie for dessert!

I'm gluten free and they took my restriction very seriously and were so thoughtful and kind! There's gluten free pasta and plenty of dishes to choose from. Customer service was 10/10!!

Our family of 5 had the pleasure of dining at Bavette’s in Chicago last night. From the beginning they were very accommodating. Our server Steven was knowledgeable about the menu and even gave me gluten sensitive subs as requested. He was also kind when my son (8) hit his soda over by accident (we know this is annoying) this was important to us as our son already felt bad about it. His recommendation for the main lobster for our 10 yo son was spot on for what he wanted. The truffle Mac and cheese was a huge hit with everyone. Steaks came out perfectly cooked the entire way through - we ordered 3 different steaks with different requests. Highly recommend and if you get Stevens section I know you won’t be disappointed Jessica

Jessica Horn

Gluten sensitivity but server was VERY knowledgeable about ensuring food safety. Music was amazing. Outdoor dining clean and fun. Highly recommended.

My sister has celiac and hasn’t had fried chicken in over 20 years. She ordered it and was absolutely blown away at how delicious it was. The executive chef came to our table to ask how the meal was for her. The manager spoke with us and was very friendly attentive. She sent us a gluten free dessert to enjoy. This was one of the most enjoyable meals and experience we have ever had. The staff are exceptional.

Good gluten free options for my child.

Janet

Wow! they really have the best vegan gluten free pancake🥞!!! tofu scrambler-eggless was delicious and wholesome. Big portions great value of your money. Amparo managed to take care of many customers with a very kind attitude, calm, charming, knowledgeable and extremely good on what she does. Eric and the rest of the staff are so friendly.

This is a beautiful coffee shop and I’m happy we got to stop in but my only issue is, is that I assumed I would get more help with knowing my options for gluten free drinks. I had email them prior and they told me I’d be able to get help once I was there so that was my plan but once I got up there and asked if the coffee I wanted was gluten free she wasn’t sure so she went and asked when she came back to me she said it wasn’t. So then I asked her if she could tell me what my options were and then she had to ask them again which they told me I could only get a drink with milk, honey and espresso. They were super busy and I was very rushed. The drink was good but I was expecting a much better experience especially when I was told I’d have options. They do have gluten free bakery options but I didn’t get any of those and they do share a case with all the other items so keep that in mind. Lovely coffee shop just probably isn’t the best option for someone with a gluten allergy.

Great customer service. The best, most moist, crave worthy gluten free blueberry muffin I have ever had. I absolutely loved eating it. And will be dreaming of that muffin. Chai tea was tasty, no up-charge for soy milk is awesome.

Heather Kralik

Really enjoyed this place! Lots of gluten free options - baked goods and substitutions. The staff is knowledgeable and even had a binder of laminated menu items with their allergy items listed. The GF lemon bar was excellent and my son enjoyed the Krispy treat. Highly recommend!

Robert Kelly

Nice outdoor seating. Food is very good and lots of gluten-free options. Eddie our waiter was awesome, thanks! One recommendation for management: add Lalo or another additive-free tequila. Casamigos is a big seller but objectively not a good quality tequila

Chris Kraszewski

Good gluten free pizza. The drinks are always good.

Jennifer Berrong

Accommodated me with my celiac disease and worked a way out to have the French toast. They used a gf bun. It was delicious! The best French toast I have ever had!
