This place is amazing for celiac or gluten allergy. They have gluten-free vegan batter that is cooked in a separate area. I had the Pizza crepe ans the honey bunny both amazingly delicious. The owner was very nice and helpful. Definitely coming back!
Extremely knowledgeable servers and chefs! Delicious food and extensive wine list. Door (not sure how this should be spelled) and Miss Jackie made sure my meal was Celiac-safe. Such a pleasure eating somewhere they honestly care about serving a Celiac patron safely. Highly recommend.
My 7 year old daughter is a celiac. She had the glutenfree waffles and fried chicken. She really enjoyed the waffles but the chicken was a little bit to spicy for her.
I had the glutenfree seafood Po boy and it was really delicious.
Another day we tried the glutenfree version of a Beignet a Calas. It was not really like the βrealβ Beignets but it was a good an nice option to have something sweet for her.
This was our favorite restaurant that we tried while visiting New Orleans! Everything was amazing from the presentation to the variety to the food quality. Norma was patient with us while we decided what we wanted to order and she answered our questions. Itβs great that everything was gluten-free!
The food was awesome! And Henry is the man! His recommendations were the selections that I went with and he took care of me with regard to my gluten allergy. I went with the red fish and it was so good. It was the perfect end to my 60th birthday celebration in the Big Easy.
Youβd likely never know this adorable, plant-filled space on a block bearing a street name no one knows (that feels more like an alley) could be the best thing to happen to your week. Located directly across from one of the two U.S. Court of Appeals loading docks, this oasis quickly transports the diner to a country they may have never visited and may now want to visit immediately.
This isnβt that βMexicanβ place you have in your hometown that mostly serves to pacify the American palate. That isnβt to say it will feel unfamiliar or awkward; you may just realize excessive grease and cheese arenβt required for enjoyment of every item.
With the exception of tortas (sandwiches) and a couple of desserts, everything is gluten-free. Not just in the βno-gluten-containing-ingredientsβ way you may find many places, but instead itβs an environment where staff are trained on cross-contamination (and where they have a dedicated frier). There are also numerous vegetarian and vegan options.
Happy hour is 3-6 weekdays, and youβll definitely leave happier. Then again, thatβs kinda guaranteed anytime you visit.
Do yourself a flavor π and walk right on over from the streetcar or even the French Quarter. Should you take the ferry over here from Algiers? Well, I sure wonβt discourage it!
Come hungry, thirsty, and ready for your life (or at least taste buds) to be improved.
Jess and Eric were absolutely fantastic! Their service was top-notch from start to finish. My wife has Celiac disease, and they were both incredibly knowledgeable and attentive when helping her find safe and delicious options. We truly appreciated their care and attention to detail. Thank you for making our experience so enjoyable!
Omg. This place was amazing. Great cocktails and an abundance of gf Snack/ bar menu options. Including fries, spicy kimchi fries, and wings that were all stunning. My group of 11 literally ordered dishes over and over again to share. The only dish bit be ordered multiple times? The one dish with gluten.
This was my first time visiting this establishment, and I have to say my experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The service was warm and attentive, and the food? Simply amazing. Every dish had such bold, unique flavors, and I really appreciated the wide variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options on the menu.
I ordered the Crab Scramble with vegan eggs, which was packed with flavor. I also got a side of the bison sausage it was my first time trying bison. While I personally prefer chicken or seafood over red meat, the sausage was still well-seasoned and tasty, with subtle notes of onion and bell pepper (not sure if that was intentional, but it worked!).
My mom ordered the Shrimp and Grits, and I got to try a bite and wow. It was a flavor explosion. I've never tasted anything quite like it before rich, savory, and perfectly balanced.
We all shared the Bananas Foster Pancakes, which were sweet but not overpowering, with a unique flavor that really stood out. I also tried their Iced Matcha Latte delicious and classic in taste. If you're looking for a traditional, less-sweet matcha, this is the one for you.
My cousin ordered the Cat Daddy Biscuit, and once again great flavors, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was on point. My aunt went with the Bearcat Breakfast, a more traditional option, but she swapped in the bison sausage, and it paired beautifully with the eggs and potatoes.
The only downside? Parking can be a bit tricky, and there might be a wait ours was about an hour. But trust me, itβs absolutely worth it.
Next time I'm in New Orleans, Iβll be back without a doubt!
One of the few restaurants I've ever been to where I had a drink waiter separate from the waitress, but was also chill with me wearing shorts and a graphic tee. They ask about and seem very attentive to dietary restrictions, so if vegetarian or gluten free or your thing they will work with you. I appreciated the hanging art separating the tables around the periphery of the restaurant as well as the general vibe.
I ended up ordering a couple of cocktails and the Ramos Gin Fizz was like drinking a slice of lemon meringue pie; 10/10 if you're into meringue. That was followed up with a honeysuckle liqueur drink melding blackberries and basil (honey child) that was good, but didn't come close to touching the Gin fizz.
I ordered the fixed price 3-course meal with turtle soup and sherry followed by the best shrimp and grits I've ever had in my life and capped off with the best bread pudding I've ever had as well. Thanks to the waitress for pushing me toward the bread pudding: The toasted pecans and caramel really sent it over the edge and made it an especially sumptuous dish.
Another gin fizz in a to go cup (because French quarter, why not?) and I was off to the next stop!

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 Sophiaβs 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.
I was hoping for a good meal away from the French Quarter, but we got so much more. The entrees were SOOO good, they truly took us by surprise. Iβll remember the chicken and the shrimp dishes for a while.
I rarely order dessert, but after an entree that good, I needed to see what dessert offered. The Salted Peanut Pie was delicious. Only thing of mention was about the lack of gluten free dessert options - typical ice cream and sorbet offering.
There arenβt many gluten free options. Itβs kinda our fault since we thought a seafood restaurant would have more fish options that werenβt 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.
I am gluten free but the others with me were not. The charbroiled and raw oysters are amazing! And they're gluten-free except you have to ask for bread on the side. I probably did not order the right thing, but I had the grillled shrimp which were meh and the fries that were nice. for gluten full people, the beignets were a hit and also the gumbo and bisque
Outstanding GLUTEN-FREE fried chicken and salt and vinegar string fries. We sat ourselves in the semi-enclosed private room on the second floor, which was comfortable, allowed us to hear the live music and talk comfortably with one another. The cocktails were delightful and interesting!
We went here specifically for gluten free food. The owner was there and super friendly. We ordered gluten free fried green tomatoes, shrimp, crayfish, catfish, pickles, and fries. The coating/breading was light and airy.
We were the only ones in the restaurant. It was a little awkward, quiet, and dark.

You always hear about the amazing beignets in NOLO but guess what are even better?!? Calas!! I found Cafe Calas when planning our first family trip to New Orleans. My daughter and I cannot have gluten so I was trying to find GF beignets. Instead I found this delightful spot. The owner, Brandon, was so friendly and gave us the fascinating history of the cala. We all really appreciated his passion and of course his delicious treats. The calas were fantastic as was the coffee and coconut water. My only complaint was that he wasn't open every day of our stay!! Definitely go if you are visiting NOLO!
Great restaurant with authentic food and amazing service! Could accommodate my gluten allergy which I sincerely appreciate :-). Steak frites and eggs are fire π₯
Run to this restaurant. The dishes are so delicious with lots of flavor and balance spices. Prince is very patient to explain the recipes, the used ingredient and the history of this Ethiopian cuisine. In addition 99,99% of the dishes are gluten free.

We waited 40mn for a table for a late dinner. The person at the reception wasnt the friendliest but we were hungry. BIG SHOUT-OUT to Paul on the merch side to be kind enough to talk to us while we waited! We finally got a table and ended up waiting 15/20 mn to get a server. Wasnt too thrilled about that. Server was nice and informative on food allergies though. They have a gluten free menu available, but the seasoned fries weren't gluten free, needs updated. We got a burger and a pulled pork sandwich with green beans sub for fries. Overall wasnt impressed with the food specially for the price. Manager came to check on us and we ended up talking about music and tattoos! Memorabilia was interesting on the walls.
It was a busy morning and they said they couldnβt really handle the volume of people so cross contamination was difficult. I had the frittata (I knew I shouldnβt have) and got absolutely smacked by gluten. Iβm sure this place is safe for gluten intolerances or allergies, Iβd be cautious with celiac.
I was super excited to come as you hear and read so much history about this place. It was everything I was told and imagined. The first thing you see and feel when walking in is the history this place has. All the staff was exceptional and on point! And the food, the foor was fantastic. Our table had the fried chicken, which was finger lickin excellence. For one order they were able to make it gluten free for my mom!! The Stewed chicken was absolutely delicious! And the same for the Shrimp Clemenceau. This place is a must come and repeat!!
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 donβt need to be gluten free / vegan or vegetarian or health conscious to have a great meal here!!
A hidden gem on Royal Street. The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond to make my birthday celebration special. The food was sublime. They were so accommodating with my gluten allergy and presented me with a cotton candy birthday dessert. If youβre in New Orleans you must dine here, itβs a truly magnificent experience.
Love these crepes! They are gluten free and have a great flavor and texture. The mango deluxe is amazing but they have a big variety of savory and sweet crepes. They also have a lot of drink options and they make it so easy to order and get points for free drinks.
