Top 34 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Madison

Francesca

Delicious food with great gluten free options.

Eden Schnurstein

Food was delicious, service was quick, and staff were kind. Broad menu of options with large vegan sections. Restaurant can make dishes that are gluten sensitive (though not Celiac safe). Similarly, they are very accommodating for other allergies, and can customize meals easily.

My go to place for brunch! All of the ingredients were so fresh in the omelette. I love the gluten free option for the pancake/waffles and they are so tasty! 10/10. And service was amazing per usual. Venera is the best server!

Julia Rap

Food was delicious. 9/10. My personal favorite dishes included green curry and praham long song. Everyone we talked to recommended the red noodles, so definitely try those as well! I got the foco roasted coconut juice as a drink which was nice but wouldn’t re-order. To be truthful, I only got it because it had boba. The sticky mango rice as dessert was DELICIOUSSSS and a fun cultural food to try. The cream cheese wontons were exquisite. Basic, but delicious. Almost everything here can be made vegetarian and gluten free which is great if someone has dietary restrictions. Overall would definitely recommend this place, especially with parents in town as it is a little pricey for the college student budget. The service was good except they do this thing where you have a table but must go to the front and order every time and then they bring your food out to you. I was not the biggest fan as someone constantly had to get up to go order food, a drink, etc. and it broke conversation. May just be a personal preference though. My final rating is an 8/10 for the restaurant.

Good food and friendly staff. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten sensitive opinions. Tacos and stuffed burrito are great, not the enchiladas.

Great service from host and server, very happy that they had a separate gluten-free menu. Eggs benedict with gf bread was delicious, maybe a little too cheesy but still great

Love going to Otto's for food and music on the deck. They've got curtains and heaters if it gets cold but usually it's perfect on its own. They have a lot of gluten-free and vegetarian choices. Their wait staff are excellent, so friendly and fast that I always have to leave a nice tip. 😉

The servers were very helpful and friendly. I was able to easily adjust my meal for my food allergies- the food was tasty I love cactus! I did not become ill after eating due to cross contamination or anything despite them using a lot of corn in the kitchen which says a lot. Huzzah!! Also they have a very gluten free friendly menu - because they use a lot of corn. The cafe olla was heavenly. It is coffee with jicama and some sort of magical spice that makes it sumptuous and dessert like! The food came very quickly. The restaurant has a reasonable sized dining area and the acoustics were not terrible. It was colorful and clean. I would definitely recommend you check La Mestiza out!

WHO WROTE THOSE GLOWING REVIEWS?? It’s rare for me to leave a restaurant feeling conned, but last night was one of those nights. Positives: We had a parking place right out front, which was great for the person with mobility issues. The tablecloths were clean. My bowl of pasta and chicken had a decent flavor. Negatives: $150 for two people - absurd.That decent flavor cost me $35. The prices are nothing less than exorbitant for what you get. The waiter was simultaneously pushy and absent - can I get a bottle of wine for the table? (The cheapest bottle was $90.) How about those appetizers? (Ugh, ok, if it will make my glass of wine come faster.) 10 minutes for a salt shaker. We struggled to figure out the chaotic multi-section menu, about which our waiter helpfully responded “I’ve already told you what I recommend so you can just order that.” And please, I beg you - if you’re going to extort me, stop calling us “guys”. Two “specials” on their own page, one of which was a $75 twisty slab of steak with a plop of greens next to it. Caprese salad: A handful of basil leaves on a plate with 6 grape tomato halves and an ugly hunk of burrata cheese (which was warm on the outside, refrigerator cold in the middle). Pear appetizer: Same basil leaves, pears in hot milk, something stuck on the bottom of the cute little cast iron pan. Can we have some bread? Oh, sure - and returns 10 minutes later with a seasoned pizza crust - I suppose it WAS cooked in the wood-fired oven, though. Red sauce tastes like nobody tasted it before they served it. Pizza options (which the waiter will tell you is not meal-sized, and by the way, they have a gluten free crust but it’s not good so don’t order that) so weird as to be downright unappetizing. Just. Awful.

Great food, especially the gluten free bierocks!

Burgers are good with a lot of selection and customization options. We go here because they have gluten free options.

Kim Smith

Excellent food and service. They were very helpful with allergies and celiac. Definitly reccomend!

shawn geino

Very personable, attentive server with lots of refills on drinks. Loved that they had a gluten sensitive menu. (Make sure you ask for it.) Had a Reuben with salad. Everything was hot and freshly made. Husband loved the Mayan chicken wrap and West African chicken stew. Delicious 😋 Will return.

Mandy Christman

Great food with gluten free options. Incredible farm to table burgers, locally sourced. Fabulous drink selection. The patio is lovely! The parking is difficult so give yourself a bit more time.

Tammy

Not the Weary I knew and loved anymore. I took my son out for dinner and I went home hungry. We both ordered the bad breath Burger, My son ordered his medium rare and I ordered mine well done with a gluten-free bun. We waited an hour for our food and when it arrived My son’s Burger was cooked well done and mine came with a regular bun instead of gluten-free, my son decided to eat the burger as is, they took my burger back to remake it and put it on a gluten-free Bun. When I got my burger, it was rare not well done like I ordered. It also only had a very thin slice of cream cheese, not the quarter inch slice that it used to have. Definitely not the Bob’s bad breath Burger I remember And loved. At this point, we had been there for an hour and a half and my son had another engagement to go to so we needed to leave. They offered To make my burger again Or give me a refund, I took the refund. The greens were also wilted and didn’t have dressing on them. I Will not be back, this makes me sad but the new Management just isn’t measuring up.

Ivy Hayward

Delicious food! Excellent service, even when I asked about gluten free options. The staff was well aware of allergens and celiac. My only concern was the bathroom was not very clean, but it seemed like it was caused by poor building maintenance more than anything.

Abiztic

They have a good atmosphere for meeting with coworkers after work. However, their menu and food handling does not cater well to those with dietary restrictions. If you cannot eat gluten, you will likely have to deal with cross contamination here.

Carolyn Ruck

We Came here for our anniversary brunch. Irish egg entree was excellent, as was tomato herb soup and grilled cheese on gluten-free focaccia bread. Felt very cared for by staff.

Kiera O'Higgins

The menu is wrong, things listed as able to be gluten or dairy free cannot be!! Server not knowledgeable about menu at all. Everything WAY overpriced for the quality, including drinks. Have fun here!

I decided to get takeout from Tavernakaya because they popped up as a place I could get gluten free fried rice. To make fried rice gluten free, usually the only modification needed is to swap out the traditional soy sauce for gluten free soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos. However, after digging into my fried rice, I discovered that their way of making it gluten free was simply to omit any seasoning at all. It was so bland. I ended up heading over to the nearest grocery to grab some tamari to make my leftovers palatable. By saying that you will cater to the gluten free crowd but then just making a dish devoid of any seasoning or character seems like a cop out - might be better just to not offer it at all.

Lauren Powell

The tasting menu is the way to go. They even had one ready to go that was gluten free. 5 courses plus a few additional tastes the chef selected to highlight in-season produce. The most upscale farm to table experience I've ever had.

Jennifer Gage

If you are allergic to Gluten, THIS is the place to get THE BEST whiskey ever. And it happens to be gluten free because it's from sorghum. Neat is how we do it at home most of the time, but the cocktails were on point delicious! Reallllllllly wish we could still get Queen Jennie shipped to us! Gluten allergies are super tricky with alcohol and I have relied on getting my yearly stash shipped for 10 years now. I realize they may not have control of that (we live in Hawaii now and I think our state no longer allows it) but wanted to mention it. That said the drinks were Fantastic and we were happy to be able to pick up some bottles to take home.

Take out is always hot and delicious. I eat gluten/dairy free and usually order mango chicken. Their biryani tends to be a little spicy for my kids even if ordered mild.

They have great curbside service and hands down the best gluten free crust we’ve ever had. To top off the experience they finish the order when you are five minutes out so the pizza is hot when you get it! Genius

Diana

Came here looking for a chill atmosphere and good authentic Mexican food. We definitely experienced everything we came for and more! Our waitress was extremely attentive yet not overbearing. The food was super flavorful, yet not over salted. We prefer crunchy tacos, and even though that was not available on the menu, the chef went ahead and made crispy tacos out of the soft corn taco shells right on the spot. The portions were very generous, especially for the price. The prices did not break the bank by any means . GREAT freshly made margaritas. Highly recommend the tacos, margaritas, and tres leches. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. We will definitely be coming back!!
