My absolute favorite restaurant! The most delicious food, the safest for people with celiac, the kindest staff, the best vibes, most amazing happy hour! I couldn’t recommend a place more!
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.
They take allergies and celiac very seriously here. Although the menu is not marked, you can ask them what is gluten-free. I'm majority of the entrées are. And they have a dedicated fryer and some of the best fries we have ever had. It is one of our go to places and we feel very safe coming here. They've got great protocols in place.
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
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!
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!
This place is a Blast!!! So many games to choose from. It's great to run through a bunch of old classics, or to try a new game before you buy it. When we asked for a particular game they didn't have, they actually went next door to their game shop and opened a brand new game for us! The service really is top notch. And the food! So many amazing comfort food options, and with a huge vegan and gluten free selection too. The drinks are fantastic as well. It's a bit pricey but the fun is worth it and so we keep going back again and again
The staff are very knowledgeable about gluten, cross contact, and celiac! (I’ve heard that the owner has celiac.) Great food, lots of GF options, the menu is well-labeled, and the atmosphere is great (indoor and outdoor seating)! They also have delicious GF desserts. This restaurant is my go-to.

Very celiac friendly! When I ordered gluten free bread for my sandwich, they immediately asked if I wanted them to make it in a separate part of the kitchen. The food is delicious, there are lots of options, and I’ve always felt very safe eating there.
Went here mainly because they have gluten free buns available for the burgers. They have a good selection of burgers and sides. Overall it was a great atmosphere and one of the best places to eat in Manayunk. One area of improvement would be to put more toppings on the junkyard tots. They were room temperature when they came out, so the cheese was barely melted (although they still tasted delicious).
Amazing restaurant with gluten free options. The cocktails were delicious, and the atmosphere was unbeatable. I would recommend a reservation if you plan to go.
If it is a date night for 2, going forward I would have split the salad with my fiance, but we each got our own and it was delicious. We will be back again in the summer to see that menu.
Gluten free options available. Staff is knowledgeable about cross-contamination.
Fantastic meal. The staff was incredibly knowledge about gluten and celiacs and could go through the entire menu telling me what I could and couldn't get. Would absolutely go there again. Best sushi I have ever had.
I chose this place for my 6th anniversary specifically for the reviews I saw for GF homemade noodles + deserts. As a celiac, they sounded delicious. I was extremely disappointed when we got there to find out they only served GF penne (not homemade). The quality of the penne were similar to a cheap GF box of penne, to the point it was impossible to use a fork without them falling apart.
The sauce, however, was delicious and my scallop appetizer was out of this world.
The only desert offered that is GF was ice cream, for the price I could eat ice cream at home and have the same satisfaction.
Our waiter on the other hand was fantastic, quick, and very knowledgeable on what items on the menu were gluten free. Granted, there wasn’t many entrée options that were GF, he was still able to explain without issue.
I don’t think I’ll be coming back to pay for an upscale restaurant for GF penne bolognese.
The best Dinning experience I've had in some time. The service was A1, the food was beyond anything i could have expected. The Atmosphere is very pleasant and enjoyable, They were able to accommodated for my friend who has Celiac, The staff goes above and beyond to make sure your experience is excellent, This restaurant is a 10/10 in my opinion.
Great food and even better service. Our server was very helpful in letting us know which menu options were gluten free (a lot!). We also sat overlooking the kitchen and you could her the kitchen staff confirmed orders with nut or shellfish allergies--I would feel comfortable eating here with a food allergy. The two of us shared four plates and it was the perfect amount of food. The crispy oyster mushrooms were our favorite.
I had been hearing good things about this place and finally got around to going. I’m vegan, my friend isn’t but was willing to try it with me. It’s a really cute theme restaurant with drinks to match. I had the Blobarita and my friend had the Manhattan. Both drinks came out festive, the Blobarita in a monster glass and the manhattan had smoke coming from it.
For appetizers we had the fried eggplant caprese and the carne asada tacos. They were both tasty. I really enjoyed the ricotta in the eggplant caprese. For entrees I had the clams and linguine (with gluten free pasta) and my friend had the spicy bolognese. The portion sizes were large and both of us got to go containers. The clams and linguine were ok the first night, but when I ate the leftovers the next night it was delicious as all the flavors had come together. My friend liked his dish. I tried the italian sausage and sauce and they were good. I gave the food 4 stars since the pasta was just ok the first night.
They charge an automatic 20% gratuity, but it’s in big bold red letters on the bottom of the menu so there is no surprise. The service, food and atmosphere were great so we had no issues. We will definitely be back.
Great place to stop after a walk along the river. We had a reservation for 3 and sat in the back. They have a lovely patio outside but we asked to be seated inside. Nice ambiance with interesting flowers on the table. Upscale. Probably good for a date or a meetup with friends. The food was great. They were well-informed and helpful with our friend's gluten-free restrictions. The cocktails were flavorful and have fun names! Excellent mussels and fried green tomatos. The catch of the day (tile fish) and squid ink fettucine were very tasty. Recommend the strawberry semi-freddo.
Amazing flavors, accompaniments, and execution by two chefs at newer place block away from busy Rittenhouse Square. Less wait than places on the square. Mediterranean influences. Octopus, foie gras, duck. Sidewalk seating and upscale euro tavern feel inside. Can eat healthy here, gluten free, low carb, vegetarian. Decent happy hour food choices. Business related to Maj Hotel on Spring Garden which is also was excellent.
Visited a couple nights ago. Jackson killed it. Witty, informational, funny, professional, quick, he checked all the boxes. Rockstars like that are few to come by these days so watch out BP, I might visit Philly again just to try and recruit him at my restaurant in New York... Just kidding (kind of..). Anyhoot 10/10 service 10/10 food 10/10 atmosphere (I'm a sucker for the dark dining room ambiance vibe at night). The Gluten free menu was no joke, I ordered the Kaluga caviar to start (Jackson replaced the blini with a gf chip), American wagyu and main lobster tail for my entree and they absolutely nailed it! BP, you are delicious! Until next time!!! Ciao!
My husband and I had our elopement dinner/microwedding here in November 2023. Samantha and the whole Royal Boucherie staff gave us the best experience we could have wished for. We planned everything in less than three weeks. Samantha & team were not phased a bit, even as we were adding new vendors to the roster week of (a holiday week at that.) Communication was prompt from the day we submitted our inquiry. They managed logistics with our vendors. They were able to accommodate a gluten allergy and a few other dietary restrictions flawlessly. Every single staff member we interacted with was attentive, friendly, and accommodating. In addition to Samantha, I want to give a special shout out to the hostess who helped us see the space while we were making the decision on where to host and also made sure our “after party” was comfortable and had space downstairs at the bar after the wedding.
We used the upstairs covered patio for our ceremony and the parlor for our reception. We decided not to bring in any flowers because the space is already so green and beautiful.
We received lots of compliments on the food. The staff went out of their way to make sure we, as the bride and groom, were able to enjoy passed Hors D'oeuvres as we were taking family portraits during cocktail hour.
If you are looking for a place to host your 65 or less person wedding in Philadelphia, add Royal Boucherie to your shortlist. They went above and beyond for our day and we cant wait to continually go back to celebrate new life milestones.
Celiac friendly
