Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Philadelphia

R Adler

Best restaurant experience I have had in so long. Delicious food, chill atmosphere and kind/accommodating waitstaff. I’m celiac and I felt taken care of and didn’t get sick after the meal. It’s been a week and I’m still thinking about the Dry-fried Spicy Steak Slices Seasoned With Cumin and all the other amazing dishes we had. I cannot wait to go back next time I visit Philly <3

We have been to Charlie's multiple times and always enjoyed delicious food, great drinks, and awesome service each time. I wanted to specifically highlight that this an amazing place to go for people with food allergies. We went a few weekends ago with my MIL and our family, and we had made a reservation ahead of time that noted my MIL's significant food allergies (corn, gluten, wheat, and dairy). Before we came, they did extra cleaning of the restaurant to avoid cross-contamination and management had briefed the team and our waiter on her allergies. When we arrived they had a special menu prepared for her with all the items she could eat so we didn't have to ask about every one. We ordered lots of food and we all loved our dishes. As each dish came out the waiter noted which had allergens and which didn't so we could easily make sure she got what she needed. She had no reactions and said it was one of the best meals she's ever had. Thank you so much Charlie's for making this so special for us! We will be coming back every time she visits.

hallie was amazing - we are fully gluten free and she was so accommodating and confident in the menu.

Can't go wrong with this selection, they're nachos de La casa is off the hook. My wife has celiacs and most items on the menu can be made gluten free.

Went on a Thursday night and sat in the patio. Music was playing. They have happy hour till 7. Great 3 dollar tacos. And a huge portion of the menu is dairy, gluten free or both. Really delicious food

Mexican food with a dedicated gluten-free fryer, which was awesome. Food was excellent, as was the service. It’s loud but didn’t bother us.

Bernadette Thomas

Quaint little restaurant bar atmosphere. The menu is awesome, but very few options for a celiac gal like myself. The curry deviled eggs were amazing. Gluten is a whole vibe there, so those who can, enjoy!

I chose the vedge experience to try 3 dishes and desert for $65/person. All the plates were not only uniquely thought through and delicious, but also presented like works of art. I really enjoyed the creative balance of flavors they used from only plant sources that even mimicked non-vegetarian dishes I've had before. Menu rotates seasonal so I will be returning soon and is well accomodating for gluten free patrons. An experience well worth trying

Great service and food. The spicy guacamole is delicious and the dirty veg tacos are great! Our favorite by far though was the mango Panna cotta paired with passionfruit sorbet. Amazing! The outside seating area is lovely! they also have lots of gluten-free options!

Jennifer Amodei

Great service. Delicious food. Enchiladas and plantains are my go to. Also gluten free for my celiac girlfriend!

I am a new lover of Veda! After coming here with a friend over the weekend I decided to return for lunch this week. I was so happy to find out they had specials for restaurant week! The fish pakora was so good I literally wrote home to mom about it! As someone with dietary restrictions finding a place to eat can be hard, but Veda has loads of clearly labeled gluten free options. Their fish is sumptuous and flavorful. I also got the fish moylee and the sauce was so good I could swim in it! I totally enjoyed everything I had. Everything tasted very fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Apart from the food the service was wonderful. My waiter was kind and attentive at every point throughout my meal. It’s great when food tastes good and even better when service stands out. My waiter, Khemraj, was so kind and helpful I will make it a point to stop by again sometime this week when he is working. Do yourself a favor a stop by Veda. Whether you’re by yourself, on a date, or with a friend- you’ll be glad you did!

My husband and I decided to come here yesterday for a last minute night out and we have 2 complaints - 1. The menu on their website reads as if they have gluten free pasta and pizza options because both sections are not marked with the “cannot be made GF” asterisk. I am gluten free so this was a let down. I definitely recommend management update the website to be more clear. 2. Our cocktails were bad. We each had one of the signature cocktails and felt like they were unusually sweet. We then got 2 dirty martinis and they were very bad. We had asked the waitress if they were served in chilled glasses and she said yes but that was not true. The martinis we received were warm and not dirty. Could barely drink them. Our food was tasty and the service was good so I hope next time is better on the cocktail front!

Philip Brownridge

Good food and the menu is labeled gluten free. Good drinks and lots of beer choices but none of the beers are gluten free. Nice staff

Everyone was wonderful! Our waitress asked the chef if he could make a meal I wanted gluten free, and they did! It was amazing! Both my husband and I had wonderful time!

Maria Laurenti

An amazing spot for gluten free AND gluten eaters! Get the cheese curds - you’ll thank me later!

Linda Ferro

Beatrice was fabulous! Highly recommend & my GF pizza was great & Celiac Safe’!! Thank you!

I’ve heard a lot of great things about Middle Child from random Social Media posts and decided to stop bye to see what the rave was about. When I walked in, it was SUPER PACKED and after trying it myself, I can see why. During my visit I tried the Strawberry Milk Matcha, Pastrami, Egg, & Cheese, and “Olivia’s Big Pancake” and long story short, it was all delicious. Although it was very packed, the staff still made sure that I was comfortable and it was very clean. One of the things that stood out to me the most was an employee named Jason. He was the person who placed my order at the register and he was very kind and informative. Another note I’d like to add is that the Menu is very easy to read and even has color coding on items that were vegetarian friendly and have the option to be gluten free. I’d give them 10/10 stars but I can only give 5 haha.

Abby Mueller

Loved it!! Everything we ordered was amazing especially the steak lamb small plate and the steak frites! Service was great and almost everything could be made gluten free.

I've been eating at Rybrew for the past several years - it is by far my favorite sandwich and bottle shop in Philly. A variety of vegetarian options, gluten free bread, and fresh soup every day which has never let me down. Their salads are a meal - even a traditional hoagie eater like me didn't mind eating my greens here! They have an excellent selection of beers/ciders for any palette, with rotating specials/deals/favorites to help guide you. Their baked goods are great, too. That carrot cake cupcake is well worth the calories.

Katharine Neuman

Absolutely perfect meal with our family here. A few of us are gluten free and they were incredibly helpful and we could eat most of the items on the menu. The pad thai and curry were amazing, as well as the steamed veggies with the peanut sauce. Great prices too.

Katrina Smith

The fries are awesome! Both crab fries and sweet potato. The wings are gluten free, but not the boneless ones. No gf wraps or buns for sandwiches.

Dwight Odland

Had a wonderful evening (2.5 hrs) at Amada. Great variety of shared tapas (including gluten free), yummy wine, and excellent and caring service by Amaris in the bar area. Highly recommended!

We were visiting Philly and wanted to experience the whole Rocky experience. I surprised my hubby with a reservation here with some friends for a birthday celebration. We heard opera periodically throughout our dinner & ended with an opera happy birthday seranade. The food was really delicious & both SAD diet visitors & multiple dietary restrictions people can have a good time together here. I was able to eat gluten free and vegan: mushroom risotto, broccoli rabe, and vegan chocolate ice cream for dessert. So a delicious complete meal. The hubby got eggplant rollentini that he enjoyed. Our friends got the veal that they both enjoyed. We also went to the bathroom upstairs where we saw the Rocky pictures & the Adrian’s sign that they called the restaurant in the movie. Our friends said the upstairs is open for drinks at the bar on weekends.

I had another incredible dinner here yesterday. The experience from start to finish was wonderful. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. I have to eat gluten free as a result of a medical diagnosis and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. I will definitely return to Fork again soon.

Great seafood, generous portions, and a welcoming vibe – just a bit off on timing We visited Positano Coast after catching a show at the Arden Theatre, and one thoughtful touch stood out right away: they offer a 10% discount if you show your Arden ticket stub, such a nice incentive for theatergoers looking to continue the evening with a good meal. The food was excellent across the board, especially the seafood dishes, which were clearly made with very fresh ingredients. As someone who requires gluten-free options, I felt well taken care of the staff was knowledgeable and careful about what I could and couldn’t have. That kind of attentiveness is always appreciated and helped me enjoy the night more fully. We started with appetizers, and everyone at the table had high praise for them. A particular highlight was the fried spicy calamari, my husband and kids raved about it. I couldn’t try it myself due to gluten, but it was clearly the star starter. The portion was very generous and perfect for sharing honestly, more than enough for several people to enjoy. When it came to entrées, the portion sizes again impressed us. The lamb chops, ordered by my husband and one of our sons, were perfectly cooked and incredibly tender. I had the salmon, which was flavorful and well-prepared, though it could have been warmer, a detail I suspect was due to some timing issues in the kitchen. That leads to the few small service hiccups: our appetizers didn’t arrive all at once, so some of us were eating while others waited. A side dish also came out quite late, almost as we were finishing our mains, which interrupted the flow of the meal. The atmosphere is stylish yet relaxed, with a lovely view of the city. It’s also very family-friendly, and the staff was welcoming to our kids, making it a great choice for both family dinners and adult nights out. We capped the evening with a dessert, the cheesecake, ordered by my son. It was beautifully presented with delicious sauce accompaniments and perfectly creamy. He and my husband shared it and raved about every bite. A sweet ending to a very enjoyable meal. In summary: Fantastic seafood, gluten-free friendly, and generous portions in a stylish setting. Just a few service timing issues, but still very much worth a return.

My fiancé and I stopped in last night for happy hour and had a lovely time. The margaritas were delicious. We got the three dip app, and each got a few different tacos to try and loved everything! Our waiter was so knowledgeable about gluten allergies and so helpful! We will back often!
