Top 30 Gluten-Free Spots for Bread Lovers in Sarasota

If you want amazing fried fish, check this place out. I haven’t had fried fish since I was diagnosed with Celiac (about 6 years ago). It was amazing. A nice crispy light batter made with brown rice flour. It was great!

The menu mentions asking about gluten-free options, so I asked what was gluten-free. The answer, “everything”. They have gluten-free toast, French toast, and waffles! They also have sugar-free syrup! Having a wheat allergy and being diabetic usually means I have to be very selective. I was amazed at how accommodating this restaurant is. The food was amazing and Phillip was an excellent server!

Great place, food is delicious 🤤 gluten free & vegan. Every time we are in Sarasota that’s our HAPPY 😃 PLACE. Our servers Andrey and Matt were great explaining the menu and advise us options. This was the weekend of Saturday May 3rd - Monday May 5th, 2025.

Definitely not celiac friendly! You can smell the baked pizza in the air. Yeah nope! How can anybody rate these places as gluten-free friendly. Seriously, just walking in and being there for 5 minutes, my son and I both were symptomatic, and we didn't even eat or drink anything

We visited from TN and we can't wait to come back and eat here again. The food is fresh and healthy. So many gluten free options too since my husband has celiac and I am gluten intolerant. The staff are so nice and willing answer any questions you have. Definitely a 10 out of 10 ☺️

I love Simon’s! I’ve been going for years and the food is always amazing! I always go for any vegan specials and the soups are always delicious and unique! I also never leave without a dessert for later! Such a great variety of vegan, gluten free and other items! A huge bonus is that their entire team is incredible! Local- family owned- great options- check them out!

100/10, absolutely excellent. Especially if you have Celiac and have to be gluten free -- they have GOT YOU. This is one of the largest gluten free menus I've ever been able to order from that wasn't a dedicated GF restaurant. We got the drunken shrimp, chicken risotto, and smores budino, and it was so good! There were five or six GF deserts I could've chosen too, which is unheard of. The gluten free bread alone won me over. It was so incredible, even my husband loved it. The wine is delicious -- we joined the wine club and got the seasonal dragonfruit sangria, as well as the white sangria. Highly recommend!! Bonita at the wine tasting bar took care of us, she has the best personality and laugh, such a joy. 🥰 Give this woman a raise! Also Casey W, our waitress, for the great service and taking care of my GF needs. We had such a great experience, we definitely recommend. Top 3 restaurant in the Tampa/St. Pete/Saraota area for us.

Restaurant right on the water with lots of covered and not-covered seats. You can sit and enjoy all the boats going by. It gets busy so expect a bit of a wait, but you can grab a drink from the bar and wait at the picnic tables by the dock. The staff was super friendly, and the food was good. The Cesar salad with Mahi was ok, not great, but the veggie burger was really tasty. And they have gluten free burger buns.

Was there in mid December 2024, sat outside, waiter was great, had burgers (I am GF, had the swiss mushroom on GF bread, no issue, but I am not celiac), burgere were exceptionally good. Espresso Martini also very good. Will be back!

If you haven’t been to Florence & The Spice Boys at The Landings since Chef Michelle Wolforth has been at the helm, this has to be your next dining destination! Every item on Chef Michelle’s menu is a true gastronomic experience. Each dish is thoughtfully designed and beautifully presented. The harissa roasted carrots, perfectly cooked octopus, and curry mussels were absolutely extraordinary!! The gluten-free pita was also outstanding! This elevated culinary experience was complimented by a wonderful staff in an aesthetically beautiful interior. The food, the service, and the vibe are unsurpassed. Thank you, Chef Michelle!!

The CUTEST little breakfast cottage. I just can't say enough good things! Every little detail was just so comforting. From the toy kits handed out to every kid, to the unique salt and pepper shakers on every table, down to the miniature tin watering cans that held your receipt. The vintage feel was just so charming. We arrived at about 9:30 and there were lots of people waiting outside. We assumed the wait would be long, but she said 5 minutes. It was less than 5 minutes and we were already seated with drinks. And our food came out so fast! They have such a quick and organized operation but you don't feel rushed. Ciara was our waitress and although VERY busy, she was so sweet and very attentive to all of her tables. She was very knowledge on the menu and even built me the BEST gluten free french toast since I really wanted the lemon lavender blueberry pancakes but couldn't have the gluten. We noticed she was also bussing her tables! She was really awesome and I feel like she deserves the recognition. We are from Baltimore and we love supporting local. I am so glad we stumbled upon this gem!

Gluten free eggs Benedict was so good we questioned if it was gf. We also enjoyed hash brown patties.

We eat here about once a week for breakfast. Everything tastes fresh and they are so great about customizing sandwiches. Love that they have a gluten free bread option. The Eggstreme BLT is a fave breakfast option. For lunch I really like the turkey club.

We’ve visited Jack Dusty at The Ritz-Carlton multiple times and have generally loved our experiences. Our recent dinner in early May was no exception in terms of ambiance — the setting was beautiful and perfect for a relaxing evening. The service was attentive and friendly, which we always appreciate. However, we did notice a dip in the food quality compared to previous visits. It seemed like the kitchen might have been in between seasons or adjusting their menu, which could explain the inconsistency. Additionally, we were disappointed to find no gluten-free/vegetarian options available. In today’s culinary landscape, offering gluten-free choices is quite straightforward for chefs, so it was a bit surprising that this wasn’t accommodated. Overall, still a lovely spot with great service and ambiance, but we hope to see a return to the high standards of food quality and more inclusive menu choices on our next visit.
