Top 50 Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Havens Across Chicago

Ron BY

We really loved it!!! The shrimp Po'boy was really good, the 3 egg omelet with avocado mesh was delicious and the Falafel was amazing!!! I wish there was a dine-in option. Finding a 100% Gluten free place is tough. Wheat End Cafe is doing a great job, serving real food and not just pastries. We will come back for sure.

Went in on a Monday night. Very busy and sat at the bar. Wxplanes to the bartender our allergies, I’m celiac and my wife is allergic to cilantro. Placed our orders and the kitchen manager, Manny, came out and discussed our orders and issues and talked us through what we would enjoy within our allergies. The food came we wished we had ordered 2’nd’s !! Delicious

Sylvia Smith

Excellent gluten free options, including blueberry pancakes!

Grace Ward

Delicious Americana with a cozy vibe. We had a yummy lunch and appreciated the variety of gluten free / gluten sensitive options. The grilled cheese and tomato soup was amazing.

Bre

Best gluten free breakfast in the city.

Claire Nelson

Elizabeth was a fantastic server and very helpful with my dietary restrictions! I am gluten free and dairy free.

Charlotte Slater

I initially visited this restaurant for its gluten-free options, but it exceeded all expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, incredibly satisfying, and left me eager to return. I dined here multiple times during my visit and always left happy and fulfilled. The service was consistently friendly and professional.

Can’t see a brunch menu for them?

Nicholas Sanchez

Very bed establishment. Very accommodating to my celiac girlfriend, and food was delicious as always.

Giselle Ballesteros

Dedicated Gluten Free kitchen, and the food was delicious! Raspberry mojito was amazing. Alligator dip was so good with amazing baquette toast, hard to beleive it was gluten free, the texture of the baguette was amazing. The gumbo had perfect amount of spice. The chicken wings were the best. The fettucine had such great texture for a gluten free pasta, totally nailed it. Loved chatting with Chesa! The atmosphere, decor, music, waitstaff, food were all wonderful.

Alun Williams

Knowing that everything is safe for me as a Coeliac made the experience and delicious food even better. I’ve been twice already and I’m sure I’ll be going back.

Michelle Raclaw

Chase was amazing! Made my sister’s bday dinner special & gave special attention to the gluten-free choices to make sure the dishes were gluten-free. 10/10! Highly recommend Aba!

Emili Bennett

Favorite restaurant in Chicago. Never disappoints! Always accommodates gluten free allergy.

Rachel Dawes

Went back-to-back mornings, delicious GF breakfasts, separate GF menu, food and beverages were excellent. We had Jack as our server both mornings and he was excellent, provided great options and understood gluten allergy options well.

Nicole Boelkins

The best gluten free pizza I have ever had!!! The drinks are also very good, and the service is good too. They have good mocktails as well! Will be coming back!

Whitney Dreher

This place was so good!! I got the chorizo and cheese taquitos and they were fantastic. The drinks were all pretty good and the price wasn’t crazy! Would 100% go back

Meghan Simon

This crew is so lovely and kind! I came for a chicken sandwich and fries (all gluten free AND delicious which is a DREAM) and left with a Shake of the Month which was chocolate covered strawberry. Thanks guys 🥰

Laura McKee

Great gluten free, vegan, and delicious food. Kind people. Nice space

C. Lor

I am so happy we stopped here for dinner. The staff were knowledgeable and so kind to me when I told them of my gluten and dairy allergies. Service was amazing and the food was sublime. I missed eating Italian for fear of cross contamination but they reassured me pasta were cooked separately. What a lovely place! I will be revisiting when I'm back in town. Edit: Forgot to add, my husband got an Amaretto sour and he said it was the BEST one he's had.

Merve Naja

Ramen is delicious! They have rice noodles for gluten free. They also have Sapporo on tap, Two Brothers gluten free beer and few other gluten free options as well. Ramen are huge. It gets very busy on weekend nights but service is fast. We ate sitting at the bar and it was fun.

Kris Hamacher

Food is excellent, lots of gluten free options suitable for someone with celiac. Service is great, but it's very loud and overly crowded. Tables are extremely close and people are often yelling at each other, which isn't how I like to brunch. If you go early it's not as bad.

Esme Burrows

Just okay, not remarkable. Some dishes were good, nothing was spectacular. Gluten free pasta was undercooked and over salted. Staff were wonderful and very attentive.

Eva Gandhi

I had a great friend share these with me so cannot speak to the price but OMG best gluten free “baked” dessert I’ve had. I feel so good after eating it and it’s still sweet. Truly perfect. I think the best flavors are the date one and the banana bread cup. And it’s vegan, yay!

Hailey Weeg

Food was amazing! Great gluten free options

Matthew Foster

Delicious food. One of the most flavorful fast food places I have tried in a long time. Made fresh to order, delivered quickly and accurately, and great service made the visit enjoyable. Also, a completely Gluten-Free restaurant. I had the Sweet BBQ bowl with chicken, and would gladly order it again.

Phil Cole

Rock music, best burger I've ever had and Gluten free buns, fries and wings!!! Go you won't regret it!

Sasha rodriguez

Absolutely delicious! Celiac/Gluten Free friendly. I appreciate the customer service, fresh ingredients, and gluten free sauce options. The space is clean and welcoming atmosphere. Excited to go back soon!

Paradiddle 218

we got the shakshula with gf toast, enchiladas, and chilaquiles!! it was amazing and they put an allergy marker for celiac.

Elena Dowin Kennedy

Excellent cider and food. As a celiac it was wonderful to have so many gluten free options. I tried the cauliflower wings, fried pickles, shrimp and grits, and paella. All were excellent, but if I had to choose the paella was the standout. Trying many ciders the Vibes from the Orchard and E-phoria were the standouts. Both were uniquely flavorful, crisp, and not overly sweet. We sat outside as a group of 7 with little kids and they had a blast moving about outside, but service was slow.

Haleyanne Freedman

Amazing arepas. Always good quality food. Not super fast but it's worth the wait. Gluten free

Marlene M

Really good, healthy options, generous portions, gluten-free and vegetarian options too. Alex was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely eat here again.

Dori D

Always a wonderful experience. We shared a salad, pasta course, main course & dessert ; everything came already divided which was so nice. My guest has a gluten allergy and we had plenty of options, no problem

Lee Mariño Clyne

Delicious food with gluten-free and vegan options. Small shop, but worth the visit!

Frank Haviland

There was a 2 hour wait to get into Au Cheval; and many people we talked to highly recommended we go there. They said it was an amazing burger, and we needed to try it out. So... we waited our two hours and wandered other establishments, wondering what this burger would be like. Firstly, hype is a dangerous thing, especially in the food industry, and when we were finally allowed to enter and eat we noticed that the menu was down to Earth and there wasn't anything too crazy or unique... But.... I tell you what, it was a delicious hamburger, and the place reminded me of a nostalgic diner feel with a modern hipster take; it was highly enjoyable to be there and to just experience your meal with whoever you chose to share it with. They took their food and their reputation very seriously; they paid attention to every detail, and they were highly aware of food allergies and how to navigate the menu for people with Gluten Allergies like myself. The hamburger was delcious... complimented with their in-house "Dijonaise" sauce. The coffee was amazing... but what made our experience even better was when my buddy asked for some real cream for his coffee. Our waitress proceeded to go into the kitchen and to make a fresh blend of milk and cream to ensure that he could thoroughly enjoy his meal and coffee. The food was tasty, the staff was great, and you could tell that everyone who worked there cared about the customer experience and the reputation of the restaurant. Highly recommend you grab a bite when you can. Allergy friendly options are available.

Beth Cummings

I had one of their gluten free grilled cheeses from their stand at the farmers market, 10/10 it was absolutely delicious!!!

Roy

Great gluten free Detroit style pizza!

Kareena

Great spot — highly recommend! Beautiful decor and ambiance with solid drinks and food to match. What we ordered: Whipped feta with truffle honey — delicious Feta pistachio pesto Gluten-free spiced beluga lentils Drinks were great too. If you’re into something on the sweeter side, try the Lavender Knees Bees. All around, 10/10

Deyton Chance

this was the most delectable experience ever!! all the food was so fresh it felt like i could taste its source. my friends and i were taking photos of our amazing meal and then…the manager comes over and asks if we would want to tag them in a post with one of their desserts on the house!! of course we agreed and not only was the dessert amazing but it was also vegan and gluten free along with many of the options on the menu. my friend who is vegan and gluten free and she said there was plenty of options for her and the staff was extremely accommodating! our waiter also went through the menu and explained everything in through detail since it was our first time. so overall 100/10 experience!!

julie macy

Everything about this cafe is charming, including Caesar. He makes your dining experience very personal, and the food is prepared right before you in an open kitchen. The atmosphere is very cozy, the food was delicious, and the experience was outstanding. This place is truly unique. They even offer gluten free pierogis!! This was the best dining experience on our Chicago trip.

Victoria Winslow

We chose this dinner spot for the gluten-free options and it did not disappoint! The service was friendly, we were seated right away on a Saturday night, and they had plenty of celiac-safe food options. The pizza was some of the best I've had. We'll definitely be back!

Kimberly Ruffin

Call in an order to go for four people. Got home and realized the labels on several of the trays were wrong so then had to do a mix and match to figure out if we actually got what we ordered. I'm come to find out that we actually had the food we ordered they just mislabeled the lids. Thank goodness we didn't have to walk the 25 minutes back to the restaurant from where we live. The food was good that chicken was amazing it was a tender and soft my husband's snake was great on his bowl it just seems that they put quite a lot of rice rather than the vegetables in order to make the bowl full. It would be nice if there was more vegetables in the bowl than just so much rice. I was thankful for the gluten-free naan it was rather hard and even microwaving it with a soft wet towel did not bring it back to life. The yogurt sauce on the side was best rather than putting it all over the salad. Would eat here again. is a bit spendy.

Olivia Guzzardo

Fantastic vegan ice cream that everyone will love! Great gluten free options as well. Love that they have rotating flavors. The staff is always nice and helpful. This weekend was really hot and they kept the line moving quickly. A must try!

Ramona Carter

I could not go to Chicago without trying deep dish, pizza! I am gluten-free, and they had an excellent option. I will say that, for the most part, I ate the toppings and the sauce, but they were really good. I enjoyed the sauce a lot!
