Nearly everything on the menu — including the chips — is gluten-free! Their new printed menu doesn’t show GF menu items though, strangely. The waiters were confused that nothing was labeled and had to go back to consult with the old menu. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.
I almost put four stars but then felt guilty. The reason being the portion sizes seem small for the price, but I'm going to add the caveat that I live in a rural area, where things are dirt cheap. So it's likely my bias. That aside, the food was great. I got a ham and brie and they had gluten free bread which is always exciting. Gluten free is well marked on the menu. overall, a nice little lunch spot.
Extremely delicious food! Was in the town for the weekend and stopped in for brunch because I saw this restaurant was exclusively plant-based. I got the gluten-free savory waffles (under the brunch menu waffles 2 ways) which could quite easily be the tastiest breakfast I’ve ever had. Was able to eat outdoors and enjoy the weather too ☀️ Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back and try some more!
I've been here several times for lunch and dinner, it is always astoundingly good. I have gluten sensitivity and they always accommodate me very easily and I always feel like I have a lot of options on the menu. Some stand out dishes for me are the potato cake with smoked salmon, the trout amandine, and the chocolate mousse. If you're going for dinner, the pork chop is a very solid choice, but it's hard to go wrong with basically anything. I would say the risotto is okay, maybe a little under-seasoned but I can't really find anything else to fault this place for. All of that said, it's somehow still pretty easy to just walk up and get a table on a seemingly busy night. I don't know how they do it in such a small kitchen but it's awesome. If you're looking for a high quality place to go for a lunch or dinner in a medium price range then this is the place, one of my favorites in Charlottesville after living here 5 years.
This was such a quaint spot to stop into while browsing the Downtown Mall area of Charlottesville! It’s a little hidden and we stumbled upon it by accident, but I believe that adds to the charm of the place. It’s on the top floor so you will need to walk up steps and I didn’t see an elevator for those with mobility concerns. At the top you’re greeted by a Bedouin themed area with both table and chair seating and traditional Bedouin style seating (low tables and cushions for seats). There is also a private seating area in the back with similar Bedouin style seating and a few outdoor table/chair seats.
Although it has varying tea options, there were a decent amount of food options as well. The restaurant is vegetarian with a decent number of vegan options as well. They do also have the option to add salmon to some of their dishes if you prefer meat protein. Vegetarian/Vegan/Gluten Free options are labeled on the menu so no need for guessing. We ordered Blossoming Tea, the Smoked Salmon Sandwich with a side of Dahl, the Coconut Cardamon Cake, and the Vegan Spice Cake. First time trying dahl so for those who also haven’t tried it before, it’s made of lentils so tastes like a grainer porridge. We enjoyed the spice cake but found the Cardamon Teacake a tad dry. The Smoked Salmon Sandwich was wonderful.
As a tea enthusiast this was a great visit, but this is also a must visit if you just want a cool place to take a break or if you want a cozy spot to eat. Will visit again if in town.

Always a great go to for work lunch. They deliver over to the clinic making it super convenient. My favorites are the remarkable sandwich on gluten free bread and the soup of the day (changes each day so I call ahead to ask). They have several gluten free options. Always delicious!
Very nice atmosphere for a comfortable dinner with my two children and husband. Food was fresh, good quality, and well seasoned. The staff was very friendly, and it’s a really nice refuge from the downtown Charlottesville.
Hummus was re absolutely delicious, and so is the falafel.
Gluten Free
Food that will literally make you cry of happiness. With so much flavor, an absolutely fantastic wine selection, and such a great friendly and outgoing ambience, Fleurie is my new favorite restaurant of all time. Gluten-free choices abound too. I’d give it 6 stars if I could. Highly recommended.
