We sat out in the air conditioned front section and Christy took great care of us! We were looking for some yummy gluten free options and Sophia’s pizza was really great. Next time we will try the gf pastas. Christy was awesome and the kale salad was my favorite - definitely try the kale salad.
There aren’t many gluten free options. It’s kinda our fault since we thought a seafood restaurant would have more fish options that weren’t shellfish.
The service was great and welcoming.
It was really really loud inside though there were few people dining at the time.
It was $20 for a standard burger with a bag of chips. I kinda think that it was overpriced.
Excellent food, the fish and grits was perfect and the maduros really elevated the dish. Finding a place down here with a nearly fully gluten free menu can be tricky, but Besame's careful menu planning makes it so your celiac friends don't have to choose between deliciousness and safety.
Great restaurant with authentic food and amazing service! Could accommodate my gluten allergy which I sincerely appreciate :-). Steak frites and eggs are fire 🔥
I would give 6 Stars if I could. For an early morning breakfast, there is no other option near the French Quarter. Whole menu available for breakfast.. you can get a curry, a salad or traditional breakfast and smoothie / juice. Menu clearly marked for gluten free and nourishing vegetarian options. Very very delicious and friendly service. Fast and low prices considering all the ingredients. Nice decor and truly an oasis! PS, you don’t need to be gluten free / vegan or vegetarian or health conscious to have a great meal here!!
Kay was probably one of the best servers I’ve ever had! I am Celiac and can’t have gluten. She took her time explaining all the breakfast options and I had the incredible gluten free French toast. The service from every person was excellent, the place is clean and friendly and all five of us had incredible meals!
I cannot have gluten or seed oils due to severe allergies, and this restaurant was very accommodating with their steak and working with me on sides because it's very difficult to eat out sometimes. The New York strip was cooked. Absolutely perfectly service was fantastic and the restaurant was very clean.
Excellent choice for dinner. Top notch service, unique drinks, and a great ambiance. Gluten free options. We tried both raw and charbroiled oysters. Yum! I had the risotto. It had a bit of a kick. Husband had pasta. So good!
Boris was a fantastic server! He helped me feel safe and cared for regarding my celiac dietary restrictions. The food was excellent and quick! Would definitely eat here again!
Great service. Amazing food. Loved the atmosphere. Really enjoyable gluten-free options!
**Edit** Would love to come back but that's a long trip from Western Canada! Lol
I ordered from M bistro because they have gluten free options and the staff it’s not only knowledgeable about celiac disease, but very accommodating and flexible. I had a gluten-free cheeseburger with gluten-free bun the first night and the second night I had gluten-free pasta with chicken. (and actually, they realized that the pasta that they were originally had gluten in it so they remade my whole entire meal without me having to worry about it and told me what happened.) 100% would recommend if you have celiac disease or are on a gluten-free diet for health reasons.
Great place. Gluten-free options for pasta and pizza. Some other menu items could be gluten-free, but you had to ask, they were not marked. They had one of the best GF pizza crust I ever had. I look forward to trying other menu items. Points off for a wobbly table and chair.
The falafels are excellent. The humus and tahini are so fresh. I’ve been twice in 3 days and will go back at least a third before I leave NOLA.
They are very knowledgeable about gluten free options as well.
If you want freshly made and excellent food you can feel good about eating, then I highly recommend Cleo’s.
This was a great find in a recent trip to New Orleans. The food and service were amazing. They were able to point me to several gluten free options. I was able to eat any of the specialty oysters without breadcrumbs. The red snapper dish was also gluten free and delicious. The cocktails were fun, too.
I’m vegan and the options were not very good. The smoothie was full of ice and not blended very well. I got a sandwich on gluten free bread and because the bread was gluten free it doesn’t hold like normal bread. But most restaurants with gluten free bread know to toast it so it doesn’t get soggy. They did not toast the bread and it was soggy.
It's basic food with a casual atmosphere. Decent amount of options on the menu that can accommodate kids plus gluten free options. Music was up so loud conversation was very difficult but everyone was friendly yet not overly attentive. Having 8 different items on the menu nothing was bad but nothing that was great either. Stop in and expect to get full at a fair price.
This is, quite literally, one of the best, if not the best places to eat in NOLA for this price range. The menu has something for everyone...vegan, gluten free, sweet tooth, savory. My favorite breakfast place in the world, and I am super snobby about breakfast. Probably the only place in the world where you can get homemade ice cream and donuts, gourmet coffee, draft beer, frozen mimosas and coffees alongside a funky menu that includes the perfect breakfast burrito and fried cauliflower bites that taste like general tsos chicken. You will want to come back to this place as soon as you leave. So freaking delicious... ALL DAY!
Delicious. Luckily stumbled across this gem unexpectedly. Some of the best breakfast we had during our stay over a week. Gluten and lactose free options. Everyone in our 8 person group, including kids were very happy.
Great food. Had a separate menu for gluten and dairy allergies with almost everything included from the regular menu, so awesome choice if you have an allergy.
Delicious food and pleasant service. We actually went back a second time since we enjoyed it so much. The crepes, pancaked and breakfast sandwich was all good. They had yummy gluten free pancakes the first time but unfortunately not the second.
Nicci is amazing! I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease, and he fully understands cross contamination. He walked us through the menu as to what was safe and gluten free. He was so nice and accommodating! The vibe and drinks are amazing!
