Egg, sausage, fruit and English muffin was delicious!

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!

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!

The food was incredible! So well seasoned and fresh. Had many gluten friendly options. Excellent place for healthy and delicious dining!

The gluten free menu was great and had plenty of options. I had seen there used to be gluten free gumbo however there isn’t anymore. I had jumbalaya instead which was okay, but slightly bland. It’s also quite noisy inside and the AC was on high so it was cold. I think the outside patio looked lovely and would recommend sitting out there. Otherwise service was fine and lots of good food options.

You’d 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 isn’t that “Mexican” place you have in your hometown that mostly serves to pacify the American palate. That isn’t to say it will feel unfamiliar or awkward; you may just realize excessive grease and cheese aren’t 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 “no-gluten-containing-ingredients” way you may find many places, but instead it’s 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 you’ll definitely leave happier. Then again, that’s kinda guaranteed anytime you visit. Do yourself a flavor 😉 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 won’t discourage it! Come hungry, thirsty, and ready for your life (or at least taste buds) to be improved.

I go here several times a week. Chili Avocado Toast on GF bread is a go to. Vegan scramble is great, too. Don’t miss out on the dirty lemonade! This is a great little local cafe with gf options available. I don’t have such a severe issue that I need to worry about cross contamination, so I can’t say that it’s celiac safe, but it works for me!

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.

Great restaurant with authentic food and amazing service! Could accommodate my gluten allergy which I sincerely appreciate :-). Steak frites and eggs are fire 🔥

Averie Boutwell

We only waited like 15 minutes. Very good service. Food was amazing. Not very pricy either. 10 out of 10. You can customize your burger , hotdog, ETC. You can sub a gluten free bun too. Definitely recommend 👌🏻

If you love macarons, you'll love Sucré. It's our go-to for gluten-free desserts. The macarons are delicious (don't sleep on pistachio) and the gelato is excellent. I love the toasted almond, it tastes like marzipan ice cream. The space can be a little loud, but it has a very cute vibe, and they're open until midnight, making it a good spot after dinner. Don't skip this one!

Emily Hamman

Good gluten free & healthy selections. Relatively quick and friendly service. Smoothies are large for the cost.

Danielle Fuentes Johnson

As some with multiple, severe food restrictions, Lamara was a wonderful surprise. Almost everything is gluten-free, and I had numerous dairy free and mammal free options as well.

Terri Elder

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.

Christyn Randon-Bethune

Fresh. Inventive but not overpowering in the sense that the ingredients themselves are really honored in the dishes. Clean, very sweet staff (they’re not overpowering either but very helpful) and - big bonus for me, a celiac - there were literally no restrictions, save for a quick swap of soy sauce for tamari. I repeat: I WAS TOLD I COULD ORDER ANYTHING I WANTED. Ordering sushi is tough for a celiac between the sneaky omnipresent culprits of soy sauce and imitation crabmeat. I had a roll with crab in it and wasn’t poisoned for a week because it wasn’t faux crab! It was real crab! I could have cried! The 90’s tunes made my heart sing, along with the beautiful handmade ceramic dishes. I love everything about this place and will be back a bazillion times (probably).
