Chef Emma created a fabulous Thanksgiving meal, served by the most pleasant and helpful staff. The service was excellent, the food was great for our gluten-free, vegan -adjacent diets!! I’d give more stars if I could!!
Really really great pizza! We tried two gluten free pizzas, the pepperoni hot honey and the chicken bacon ranch. The crust is really good but the highlight was the chicken bacon ranch. Best I've had ever. The location offers beautiful views and the atmosphere was great.
Delicious vegetarian and gluten free food. Always a challenge to find somewhere that offers both vegetarian and gluten free and Green Elephant delivers. I had the summer rolls, super fresh and light. Then the Thai green curry. Tasted wonderful and also felt healthy. A treat. The chocolate orange mousse cake looked amazing as well. Very nice staff as well. Highly recommend.
Yosaku in Portland, ME, is a gem for authentic Japanese cuisine. I've been a patron for the last 8 years, and their Teuchi Soba, a gluten-free noodle made from 100% buckwheat flour, is a must-try. Unlike other soba that often contains wheat, Yosaku's commitment to quality is evident. With new ownership, there's been a subtle shift in taste, yet the restaurant maintains its excellent atmosphere and flavors. Their sushi and sashimi selection is extensive, including weekly specials. If you're lucky, you might even get to try their Otoro. For fish lovers, their Hamachi-Kama (Grilled Yellowtail Collar) is a delight, offered at a very reasonable price but in limited quantities.
Atmosphere, staff, and food were all amazing. We are a gluten free family and usually limited menu choices - Not here! There was a wide variety of gluten free items on the menu! We ordered the fish and chips, fish sandwich, braised short rib, cottage pie, and pickled onion rings. All were amazing! The batter for the fried items is always gluten free and items fried in a separate frier.
Food is excellent! Orange Bike gluten free beer is crisp and refreshing. Gabriela’s smile is refreshing and welcoming. She was kind and offered different beer selections. Very accommodating!
Let me start by saying I have Crohn's disease which has led to me needing a gluten free diet/lifestyle.
Pizza has been a rocky road ever since going gluten free because nothing has really been worth it. However, this pizza may single-handedly be the best gluten free pizza I've ever had. We helped a friend move into their new home this weekend in Portland and ordered Portland pie co for dinner after we were all done moving. It was the best decision ever.
My boyfriend and his friends are all gluten lovers - they got a garlic crust with cheese, pepperoni, caramelized onions, pineapple, and burnt ends and they all LOVED it. Bonus points for the side of hot honey that they drizzled over the pizza.
The two gluten free friends in the group (me included) got a pizza with half feta, pepperoni, and broccoli and half feta, pepperoni, caramelized onions, and green peppers. I am so sad my boyfriend and I live in Boston, because this would be a constant place we hit up for pizza. The pizza was nothing short of perfect and may just land as the best place for gluten free pizza in my heart.
My boyfriend rates the gluten pizza as a 9.5/10
I would rate the gluten free pizza as a 10/10 easily.
We can't wait to return to Portland for more pizza!
This is our "go to" Chinese restaurant.
Excellent food. Plenty of yummy gluten free options. Great service. Very easy to order.
Zen's has been providing us with an exceptional experience since we came to Portland about 5 years ago.

The Butcher Burger did a great job cooking the burger. The toppings went together well and produced an overall good experience. They offer gluten free buns that are a good size and taste good. The table seating is only outside with all the indoor seating being either at the bar or facing out the window. The inside does smell a bit smoky with all the cooking happening in the building, so you may want to eat outside if that bothers you.
Wow this place was really awesome! There was a ton of hype online about them so I was a bit skeptical…but wow did they deliver! What I appreciated was how good the gluten free and vegetarian options there were - it’s a small menu so I’m glad we had some choices. I got the mapo tofu and my girlfriend got a lamb ramen that they made gluten free. The non alcoholic drinks were really fun and whimsical as well! Would recommend!
So glad we decided to eat here—good service, even better food. Panang curry was flavorful and mildly spicy, and the chicken was very tender. The tofu pad thai, which was served like an omelette, was also excellent. Gluten-free options were plentiful and clearly marked. A little on the pricier side, but we got what we paid for.

Highly recommend for all your taco needs! Incredible atmosphere, tasty food and drinks. There are vegetarian/vegan friendly options as well as allergy-friendly options. The soft and hard taco shells are made with corn and are gluten free! Can't wait to return!
Our waitress was very friendly and attentive to my gluten allergy. She went above and beyond to explain the products and options on the menu I could have. The pesto sauce was the best we’ve ever had and it did not disappoint! The whole staff was very friendly and the food presentation was fantastic.
Had a fantastic dinner here with friends. They got the dumpling flight, lobster rangoon, and the bao buns. All were amazing and they loved trying all of the different dumplings—a really nice sharing option and super fun date idea. I got the mango salad and curry. Also all fabulous. I am veg and celiac and they were super accommodating and thoughtful about gluten free and cross contamination. The server Michaela was really helpful and warm!! Would for sure go back!!
Amazing food! This place is so good. So many options on the menu. There's gluten-free stuff. There's vegetarian stuff and it's just so good. I've been to Thailand twice and the food is just as good here as it is there. Amazing restaurant 20/5 love it recommend the ginger noodles with tofu
I really wanted to love this place! I've heard great things. Unfortunately, it wasn't a memorable experience. Most of the dishes tasted very similar, including everything from the baba ganoush to the tuna and the beef. We ordered the tasting menu hoping for a variety, but ended up receiving two of the same dish from different servers.
Service also felt a bit disorganized. When we ordered, the server asked about dietary preferences, but the person who introduced himself at the start of the meal left halfway through, and we didn’t have a consistent point of contact after that. We asked for gluten-sensitive options but no one followed up during the meal. It was confusing, especially when pita was brought out and the server seemed unsure why I was asking about gluten-free items. I can't say this seems to be a safe option for folks with celiac.
It was also uncomfortably hot inside. The air conditioning either wasn’t working or couldn’t keep up with the July heat, which made the experience less enjoyable.
I’d be open to giving this place another try - maybe it was just an off night - but unfortunately, this visit didn’t quite live up to the hype, especially given the price.
Love the gluten free pizza but hate the smell! I can’t believe the ventilation is as bad as it is. My clothes and hair smell awful. Will never eat-in again.
My sister has a gluten allergy and the staff was incredibly rude when we inquired. They advertise a whole GLUTEN FREE fry options but the fryer isn’t a separate fryer. So why advertise it as GF and then get rude when asked about it?

Very impressive place. The service we received was exceptional (thank you Sandra)… knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive without being the least bit overbearing. The food was AWESOME. After a week here in Portland, I had filled up on local haddock and cod and lobster… so I had the swordfish which was *excellent*. Servers on a bed of cassoulet beans, just lovely and tasty.
Our server was knowledgeable about the food and made dealing with my wife’s gluten and dairy allergies no big deal, just like it was a routine request. She had the scallops which were gorgeously seared and tasty.
Oh… if you love bread (like I do) have the anadama bread. OMG, a light drizzle of molasses and sweet butter. Crazy good.
Deserts were also excellent: I had the Indian pudding (awesome)… my wife the GF/DF sorbet. And they have real espresso that’s truly legit.
Solid five stars. Fine dining, where you feel comfortable in jeans and a T shirt, but are guaranteed to get a first rate meal.
Yup… highly recommended.
We were so excited to find this breakfast spot with gluten free options! The mini waffle with poached eggs and hollandaise was a delicious treat!! Home fries were gluten free, grilled just right and oh, I can’t even explain how great the California omelet was! Came hungry, left satisfied, and have leftovers too, all for a reasonable price. We will certainly be back! Thank you, Darcy, for a great experience.
The food and coffee are delicious. Prices are great. Gluten free friendly, vegan and vegetarian friendly. Only taking a point off for no high chairs. I think we'd come a few times a week if they had them
As always, Fore Street does not disappoint. The food, atmosphere and service were spectacular. Our server made navigating my gluten sensitivity seamless by going through each menu item with me at the start. Not to miss when visiting Portland!
One of the best meals I’ve ever had. I’m gluten free and there were several options! Exceptional quality that is evident from the presentation to taste. The restaurants in Portland are fantastic but I’d vote that this is among the best. Tapas style but the portions were larger than I expected!
If I had the means to hand out Michelin stars, Twelve would get 3. My entire experience was nothing short of absolutely phenomenal. Our waiter, Andrew, was extremely and entirely knowledgeable. He was also insanely helpful with guiding me towards the gluten free options of the menu. Always had a smile and was very welcoming and attentive to us as well. The food was like nothing I have ever tasted before. Each course was full of flavor and came out beautifully with a brief description of what was in front of you. The mussels were to die for, along with the steak. I can confidently say that this was the best meal I have ever had in my life and although I live 4.5 hours away, I would drive the 9 hour round trip to eat at Twelve any given day. Thank you to the wonderful staff and the chefs for making this not one of, but THE best dining experience of my life.
100% plan on returning to ViA VECCHiA. I will be bringing a ring to propose to either the Lumache or the waiter. I can’t decide which was better.
All the cocktails were out of this world! Pasta (gluten free options (yay!)) was cooked perfectly. I want the bread and butter to be my best friend. And the beets small plate was the ideal appetizer to prime the palette.
Highly recommend, I will be telling all my friends who visit Portland.
Tiqa is one of our top three favorite restaurants in Portland 🙌🏼 the people & food there are incredible. We love the lounge area, it is so cozy to eat and have drinks. You can't go wrong with their bar high tops, lounge or outdoor seating. This place is phenomenal! We always leave 'feeling' good which speaks to the high quality of Tiqas ingredients and authenticity. I am Gluten Free and have no issues eating here!!
Came in several hours before our reservation and the Leeward team was happy to accommodate us at the bar. Ended up loving the bar team so much we stayed and enjoyed our entire meal there. Good food, great cocktails, even better service. Excellent gluten free options as well. Hope to be back soon!
Great atmosphere! Made a reservation via Opentable for a late lunch. Wide range of food option for the size of menu. Lots of gluten free options available such as pizza dough, buns, and they use a separate fryer for fries. All good pictured we got GF. Staff was very helping in finding out information on our food allergies to ensure our meal was safe!
GF potato pizza was delicious. The crust was very herb’y.
GF bun was actually soft! We enjoyed the BBQ chicken sandwich but did ask for more sauce as it was a bit dry overall. Fries were delicious.
House chips and onion dip were great! Savory and GF.
Great little place to enjoy some super tasty food. Has a vegan and gluten free menu. Items are also marked with how to make them vegan, gluten free, and pescatarian. Good sized portions, friendly staff, and nice quiet atmosphere. If I am in the area again, would definitely return.
The food at this place is amazing. I had a gluten free pizza and it was one of the best pizzas I have ever had. It did not even taste or look like a gluten free one. So much flavor. Great service as well. Highly recommend, will definitely go back.
This place was good but at about 3 pm they were out of stock of a lot of their menu (almost all the sausage variations, some hot dogs, and some sides). They do have gluten free buns typically but they were out when I went so I just had to have the hot dog without a bun.
