Top 7 Gluten-Free Mediterranean Havens to Explore in Oregon

Gwen Kaeser

This place is excellent for people with gluten allergies. With Celiac disease, there are very few restaurants I feel safe eating at, but Blissful spoon and their night time restaurant Papillon are my GO TO places for trustworthy gluten free food. Everyone should check out Papillon, same location, Thursday-Saturday nights for dinner. Highly recommend this delicious Moroccan food with excellent staff.

Best Lebanese food in the world! Can’t get enough. And great prices. They have gluten free bread!

First time trying Egyptian food. Went with my wife and son, who are both gluten free. We all ordered different meals and enjoyed them a lot. It tasted homemade with quality ingredients. Different spices and flavors were delicious, but not overpowering. If you value good quality food, you won’t regret.

Kelsey Leonard

Love this place! Everything is marked on the menu and their gf pita is delicious! They’ll bring you your own oil with seasonings too for the pita so there’s no cross contact at the table. Def recommend!

Nick Dupont

They advertise that they have gluten free pita bread. That's a lie

Faith Purvis

Was in the area and stopped in for a quick bite - and was very impressed! Their stuffed grape leaves and lentil soup are some of the best I’ve ever had. Sooo perfectly flavorful, I felt both the soup and grape leaves had a more nuanced flavor than at many Mediterranean restaurants I have been to. Just delicious. The falafel was darned good too. I am veggie and gluten free and there was plenty for me to choose from on the menu. I will definitely be coming back!

This place is delicious and comfortable. The tables are well spaced so you dont feel squished. They have gluten free pita bread and are accommodating to celiacs they will make sure everything is clean before they cook to avoid cross contamination. Not to mention the inside decor is cute. 10/10 thanks for providing my first gluten free gyro, I haven't had one in 2 years

Holy shit. Service - amazing. Atmosphere - so warm, inviting, and community oriented. THE FOOD? Blew my mind. The GLUTEN FREE BAKLAVA? I transcended the boundaries of my physical body when I took my first bite. I am now changed forever

Been going here for YEARS. Food is always wonderful. My recommendation is to come for dinner and not lunch, portions are better. Lamb is always perfect and juicy. AND AS AN ENORMOUS BONUS, best GLUTEN FREE PITA EVER. seriously divine. even non GF people find it great… I have to fend them off! The food in Portland is great, with so much verity and new exciting places popping up all the time, but Nicholas will always rank in my personal favorites.

Terry Harper

Always a good meal at Olive garden. I wish they had more gluten free items to choose from.

Marie T

A lovely little place, hours are reasonable. About a 14 minute drive from IKEA. They have been pretty good about making the food gluten free.

I ordered a veggie platter which had tabouli, 2 falafels, hummus, 2 dolmas, and tzatziki sauce. I added a gluten free naan which I had before and it had been good. This time the naan was hard. I took it back to the counter and he had the waitress bring another one to me. It was more chewy than the last time I had it on a previous visit, chewy almost hard but not as hard as the first that one they served. No one came back to check and see if it was ok. The food was ok other than that, not as flavorful as other places I’ve eaten

Natalia Chang

Food was delicious, service was attentive, helpful, knowledgeable and lovely to interact with! They expertly handled my food restrictions (gluten free and no starches/substitute veggies). We ordered the Greek salad and each had the special, which was a filet of branzino with potatoes and roasted veggies (mine was a huge pile of perfectly sautéed spinach with onions and almonds, topped with roasted mixed veggies) in a lemon caper sauce. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area where we have access to delicious food and this was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. I will be back the next time I’m in Portland. So delicious!

Lydia was our server tonight and she took such great care of us, we felt like we were her own kids the way we were chatting it up tonight. She is so personable and fun. The food was spectacular! Nearly everything on this menu is actually gluten free and I was unafraid to eat 90% of this menu! Gorgeous restaurant and actually used to be a speakeasy within the area. Expand your pallet and give the Lebanese tour a chance, it’s a little bit of everything and really gives you the chance to taste it all. Really was the perfect meal for two to share and fills you up. Make sure to mention if you do have a gluten allergy as they can provide you with pita chips so you’re still included in having a dipping item for all the great sauces you will endure. Definitely will be back.

I had a fantastic lunch here over the weekend! I have celiac, and was delighted to learn that everything on the menu except the pita and the baklava was gluten free. We tried the falafel rice platter and the hummus with veggies instead of pita. Both were delicious and so flavorful! The owner was really friendly as well. I look forward to coming back!

Melissa Mattson

Really good food and huge portions! Great bang for your buck. Almost everything is gluten free.

Les Valsquier

Wonderful Mediterranean cuisine. Lunch time Buffet is a spectacular deal, and most dishes are gluten-free, many also vegan. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, clean, and nicely appointed. The staff is also warm, friendly, very professional, and obviously invested in customer's enjoyment of their lovingly crafted food. Make certain to order the coffee and baklava. Well run establishment, I highly recommend!

I'd give more stars if I could! The staff was very kind, the restaurant was cute, and the food was absolutely incredible. I have celiac disease but there were tons of gluten free options (the gf pita was divine). I also accidentally left my phone in the booth after dinner, but they went out of their way to catch up to me and make sure I didn't leave it behind. A wonderful experience and I will definitely be back.

Amber Throssel

Great food, meat veggie vegan and gluten free options. Great service and atmosphere. Must try.

Mel

Sooo good! Loved everything we got, but the hummus was my fave. They do sauces really well here. They were able to accommodate celiac (gluten allergy) very easily which I really appreciated. For a tapas place I feel like the portions were really good.

Doris Byrd

Anika Laurie

They can do gluten free pitas! I got the donair on a gluten free pita and it was fantastic. And the fries are also gluten free and came out super hot and crispy

We ALWAYS love dining here. They were training today, but were impeccable with the service--especially with 7 of us. It's also been years since we ate at Olive Garden & I was pleasantly surprised that they offered gluten free rotini these days! 10/10 (I knocked off a star due to one time getting food poisoning after eating a tiramisu at this location)

Lauren Wylie

Great catering! Had a fantastic experience catering a dinner for 70 staff and it was delivered. Delivery was ontime and they did all the set up! I needed t have Gluten free & vegetarian options and they had a great variety for the staffs dietary needs. The manager Angela was great to deal with and had great customer service. If you need to feed a lot of people that is affordable - this is the place! Great food & customer service!

Ordered gluten free roting pasta, came out less than half a plate full. This isn't the only time that this has happened.

Kenneth Benjamin

Delicious! House-made dishes excel beyond the ordinary. Sally helped us with our special dietary needs finding perfect options for keto and gluten free eaters. Recommended.

Oh my gosh, I used them for catering for a group of about 35 people. It was so much more food than I had even hoped for, they were on time and delivered it to our meeting space. Multiple people told me it was the best conference food they had ever had. I will *always* use them for future meetings, and I know at least two people who attended my conference used them for catering already! I can’t wait to try a meal at their restaurant. The best Mediterranean food ever, and lots of gluten free and vegetarian options, too!

Elyse Douglas

Very cute spot! The space has a great relaxed vibe & service was top notch. They have gluten free options which is why we drove from Grants Pass to check it out.

Rachael Liddell

We came on a busy Friday night and sat at the bar, we asked for recommendations and the bartender gave us options. We went with the steak & lamb kabobs, and it was the best steak I’ve ever had. I have a gluten allergy and he was very attentive to me. He even offered vegetables instead of pita bread with our appetizer. The staff works hard and it shows, I highly recommend! Try the falafel if you are gluten free, it was amazing.

Better than the tapas I had in Spain! Highly recommend ordering whatever the server recommends. Everything was flavored to perfection, there were so many gluten free options, and the atmosphere is so eclectic and cute. This was the best restaurant in Newport that I’ve been to!

I absolutely can not say enough good things about this restaurant!! I loved every bit of it. It feels nice and up scale as you walk in. Perfect for a nice date night. It has a beautiful blue mix tile floor with a dim lighting but is cozy but still had enough light to talk with my husband and read the menu. Our server was so knowledgeable about the menu and specials. I informed her that I was gluten-free. She gave me a lovely recommendation of sparkling wine to pear with my pork. The food is full of flavor. My husband and I ordered a little bit of everything, and every dish was more lovely than the next. We will most definitely be back! Thank you for everything ❤️
