Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots Open Late Across Northwest Washington, Washington

Paige Clark

The pasta was very good — not the best Italian food I’ve had but tasty for sure. My friend who’s gluten free really enjoyed the gluten free pasta as well. The service however was lacking, the server did not check on us nearly enough & we had to repeatedly make eye contact to have him come over to refill our waters (it’s in the 90s outside & probably around 70-75 in the restaurant). We also were not checked on when our food arrived & when he finally did check on us (after 10 minutes & me making eye contact), our request for parmesan was met with a shaker (which is fine & not on him, but maybe something the restaurant should consider improving upon). I’ve worked in the restaurant industry before & I understand busy nights where service maybe be less responsive. However, he paid significantly more attention to other tables in his section (which appeared to only 6 tables total, & only 4 were sat for over half our meal). I’m not sure of the reasoning — my friend & I are younger women in our 20s so maybe he assumed we wouldn’t tip well? Which fine, but also we both ordered drinks & generally tip 30%. Very disappointing & may not come again. Food wasn’t good enough to justify the poor service.

I love Oyamel one of my favorites in the city. When I told our bartender I had celiac he checked and they were able to make celiac safe tortilla chips so I could enjoy the guac. I was so excited. It seemed like if you have celiac and a real allergy they fry some ahead of time so the oil is safe or they can easily fry them a different way either way I was pumped. Aside from that their tacos and everything are amazing!

We planned our entire day around eating here because we saw the excellent reviews and the extensive gluten free menu, so we were very disappointed to discover that their kitchen has been closed since October. The website needs to be updated to reflect this so other travelers don’t make the same mistake.

Food was amazing & our server, Jack, was really great. He helped direct me to the gluten free options, he was incredibly kind and checked in on our table throughout service. We had the Chesapeake eggs Benedict, corn beef hash, and oysters. No complaints whatsoever.

Nina Weissberg

On top of ambiance, excellent books, and superb service, they have great Gluten free choices including fried chicken and fried catfish.

Keya Gal

Lots of choices. Great for large-scale groups with all kinds of dietary needs including gluten free options

Victoria H

Reasonable prices, quick service, and all food is gluten-free. Highly recommend!!

Samantha S.

Love their gluten free pizza! Better than the Detroit style pizza I had in Denver. I have had it twice now and not gotten sick (celiac, eg from cross contamination). Great topping options as well.

Codi Watson

From beginning to the end our experience was more than 5 stars. Kate our waitress was an amazing guide through the night! I am gluten free and felt safe and taken care of. My meal was the best meal I had while in DC! The drink the food and dessert was top notch!

Samantha S.

Ordered take out and the restaurant manager was so helpful with dietary restrictions (celiac: gluten free). Everything we had was so delicious- very fresh flavors and great combinations of flavors. Will definitely be a repeat customer

Matthew Chisholm

Gluten free pizza and stuffed shells were decent but not great

Kobbi Gal

The food was very disappointing. We had the lasagna, the basil chicken pasta. The taste was mediocre, the gluten free pasta was good. The portions, especially the lasagna was ridiculously small. We got cocktail, something with ginger, lemon, honey that was flat and bland. The afogatto was also average. The service was pretty good and the place was packed.

the cozy experience

This restaurant has great atmosphere, really accommodating servers and really beautiful decor. We called ahead they do allow outside cake but we needed to bring our own serving materials so we came prepared cutlery, plates, and knives, but it turns out you only need bring a knife and cut it yourself to avoid the $3 per person cake fee that we learned about upon arrival. (On the phone they just said bring everything and they ended up bringing out plates and silverware??) But no cake fee was incurred so that was nice! THE MENU did a great labeling of dietary restrictions cause our group had a celiac, nuts allergy, and dairy allergy separately which made it hard to share plates and eat family style as intended. However our server didn't know which dip was which on the sampler platter and we had a brave allergic and restriction-less soul figure it out but she wasn't sure other than the fishy one. Also I had a coconut allergy and that ingredient wasn't listed but must have been in some of the dishes cuz my throat was a little itchy when I left. However this is a fancy restaurant and I was disappointed in almost everything I tried. Dip platter was hit and miss the cauliflower was the best but it's hard to mess up cauliflower, the rice seemed like it had cloves in it, I wouldn't have ordered it if I'd noticed that in the ingredients list, the borek was most disappointing of all, and the portions where tiny. The beef noodles the meat was hard. My friend that ordered the lamb kebab seemed most happy and she's the only one who finished her portion without comments. I will say other people liked the borek and maybe Turkish neighbors at the dupont farmers market raised my expectations for that particular dish too high cuz they give me really good and big borek every week lol. Price: We spent 50-100 per person that included a compulsory 20% tip but it would have been in the 35-40 range if we hadn't been covering for the birthday girls portion.

The food here is phenomenal. Our server was so knowledgeable and provided excellent service. They had several gluten free options. Highly recommend this place!

Emily Hart

I absolutely love this place! We were in DC on vacation for a week and I ate here almost every night. I always got gluten free pizzas here and they are delicious and the gluten-free crusts are easier to chew than other places I've tried and are a good flavor; you wouldn't know it was gluten free unless someone told you. They are extremely friendly and that also made me want to come back! When I come back to DC, I'll be back!! 🥰 Thanks for the pizza!

We enjoyed a great dinner at Joe's. We were able to get a last-minute reservation while in town for one night. The food was excellent, but the service was top-notch, and I would give our server, Jeffery, 10 stars if I could. First, they were extremely accommodating with my extensive food allergies. My son and husband have no food allergies, so they got to enjoy a lot more than me. I opted for the grilled seafood platter that came with scallops, lobster, and shrimp and for a side sautted mushrooms. Everything was made gluten-free, also dairy, soy, peanut, and treenut free. It was hearty and delicious and I don't often enjoy a meal so much, especiallyseafood. It's hard to find places that can accommodating me. My son got filet with crab Oscar and my husband a ribeye with bearnaise. They shared a mashed potatoe and a lobster mac. Jeffery was attentive and funny, and we enjoyed his stories. It made the experience even better. We are looking forward to eating there again next time we are in town.

Kriston László

Best fast food restaurant in the USA, plus points for the gluten-free bun, but the service is terribly slow...

Gwyn K

Had a great time here! I have celiac disease which can be very stressful when traveling. This place was suggested to me as they have protocols to avoid cross contamination. After placing my order a manager came over and said my waiter had let her know that I have an allergy/sensitivity and that they take it ver seriously. She said they work hard to ensure there is no cross contamination and that my food would come out with a red flag to confirm it is gluten free. This made me feel very comfortable as I didn’t even ask to talk to anyone they just did it! I had gluten free rigatoni alla vodka which was good. I was so happy with the service that I came back today for breakfast and had some of the best home fries I’ve ever had! Highly recommend this place, food, staff, and atmosphere are all great.

Sarah Van Brackle

Was looking for somewhere to eat between going to Smithsonian’s. We needed somewhere with gluten free options and the gluten free crust was very good! (I can’t speak to if it’s celiac friendly) limited seating but we were looking for a quick stop, so this was exactly what we needed.

Alyssa Woods

The menu is well marked for allergies. I order takeout and come here fairly often and never get sick as a symptomatic celiac.

I enjoy the Royal for relatively celiac safe gluten free brunch. I haven’t tried their evening food options, but they do have lovely cocktails. It is a QR code type place, so fellow celiacs should ask for the gf menu before ordering and mark their dishes with gluten allergy/celiac. I’ve approached the counter before with questions and staff were chill and helpful. Good brunch spot, good first date spot on quiet evenings. The food and drinks are consistently tasty. I usually get one of the arepas for brunch. They usually seem to use Oatly, though I ask each time I order a coffee drink that has milk. Note, it is quite loud inside at busy times (and occasionally loud outside from sirens passing by). Recommend reservations for busy times.

Olivia Brown

The chocolate torte is so incredibly delicious! A must-order! I am gluten free and they are very accommodating. The chocolate torte is gluten free, in addition to many of the pastas. We ordered the gluten free sausage and broccoli pasta, which was very good. The sausage is not spicy (which I like).

Ashley Steimel

Filomena is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in DC. Everything about it is delightful - the food, the service, the ambiance. Decorations are always changing for the season and so fun. The burrata appetizer is seriously one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, and they have delicious gluten free pasta. Love, love, love!!

Jess Peck

Obsessed with this place. Was in Dulles for two weeks and managed to get down to DC twice and went to District both times. I had their breakfast tacos the first time and their regular tacos and chips/guac the second time. You order on kiosks which is fun and easy and get to choose between like 25 different topping options. Their corn tortilla tacos come double wrapped and all bundled up together so they taste authentic and delicious. I got pretty much all the toppings. Their medium salsa is to die for. They have impossible chorizo and an option to select Gluten Free which was amazing. The guacamole was flavorful with a nice hint of lime. I love a good taco but these tacos were life changing🤌🏼

Julie Collins

MJ welcomed us so warmly & our sunlit table became a family moment we will treasure. The food is exquisitely prepared & served … egg white frittata in the iron pot, gluten-free options as well. Delish drinks! Boys loved their chicken & waffles … and MJ’s instincts on making special moments is unmatched. A new favorite!

Tiffany Cruickshank

I would usually rate this restaurant higher. I have been to a different location before and had good service as well as they have gluten free options. This time after moving apartments I did a pick up order. I was excited for the lamb burger with the gluten free bread. My boyfriend got a burger and roommate got a Cuban panini. I would say the food was okay a 3.5 but my issue is how my boyfriend was treated when getting into the restaurant. I sent my boyfriend in because I was driving. Told him to pick up the order with my name on it. He texts me asking for confirmation. That’s okay because a guy is picking up a girls order. He comes to the car and says the guy “looked him up and down and told he needs to show proof”. I understand the asking for proof but it’s the tone. It’s the way you ask for things, the attitude you have. My boyfriend is North African/Arabic and it’s GIVING RACIAL PROFILING. So imagine being emotionally exhausted from moving in the DC humidity and heat and then someone makes you feel like that at the end of your day. All to have a sub par burger.

Sophia Kressy

Nothing is quite like Pisco y Nazca! Our server Yohanna was fabulous and attentive, helped me with gluten free choices! The food is, as always, incredible and innovative. Whenever I’m in DC I have to come here! Worth the hype.

BC S

The food is quite good. I really enjoy the oysters Rockefeller as it is one of the first I have seen that is gluten free and tastes good. Typically I order the steak frites which is always good. The other times when I have ordered things such as the chicken sandwich and schnitzel, I have not always been pleased. I believe the chicken sandwich is juicy, but a tad bland. For the schnitzel, it is definitely not traditional. I saw the idea of what was being put out, but it did not fully resonate with my palate. Nonetheless, I hope to be back soon for a couple drinks and oysters.

Charlotte Kropf

I had to double check two different times to make sure this was actually gluten free… genius! Thank you!

Anita Deal

Wonderful staff- extremely helpful. The Butter Chicken was to wonderful and what can I say about Gluten Free Bailey’s Cheesecake!!!

Went to Silver for the first time. Dined at Sliver Diner many many times. Went for my kids bday lunch with Mom, sister and grandma. Went around 3pm after lunch and before dinner so it was pretty empty. Ordered lots of food, apps , entrees, gluten free stuff for my kid and ultimately subdaes. Service was great, The young but experienced waitress memorized our order without writing down like 15 + items and said she won't forget anything and she was right! The food was good and fancied up a bit from Sliver Diner. Burgers were good but seemed much smaller than the Diners version. Same with Sundaes which I was expecting large glass filled with ice cream, hot fudge and whip cream but for a smaller bowl with a brownie with ice cream on top. It was good, no complaints but you can downsize the food a bit but not the dessert ! The chimichurra chicken wings are unique and really good! They took care of us well , even grandma enjoyed the food which is unusual. Lastly they brought out a candle for my kid without having to ask. We will be back , without the kids next time !

I had heard many good reviews and had wanted to try this restaurant for a while. The restaurant is a nice place to have dinner with friends, enjoy a date night, or have a drink at the bar by yourself. I really liked the ambiance and atmosphere of the restaurant, and the service, food, and drinks were good. I also appreciated that they had many vegan and gluten-free options. Our waiter recommended the 40-layer lasagna, and it was good. I will definitely be back for drinks and to try other items on their menu.

Alberto Caeiro

Overall, it's okay. The premise is that you realize that this is a bar and not a pure restaurant. Evaluate the food with 4 stars based on bar standards and 3 stars with restaurant standards. Business was very good. There were still many empty seats when I took my seat at 16:55. By 6 o'clock, it was full and people started queuing up. The environment is very good, but there are two problems. First, the music is too loud, which somewhat affects the dining experience; second, there are a lot of fine dust floating in the air, which is very conspicuous in the sun. Taking advantage of happy hours, I ordered a dirty martini. Between vodka and gin, I chose the gin, which was average and not very tasty. Gambas al Ajillo garlic shrimp is not delicious, not very fresh, has a fishy smell of quick-frozen shrimp, is not processed very well, and is far inferior to Jaleo's garlic shrimp. Roasted pork belly is crispy and charred in the mouth and delicious, and the aroma of fat is fully brought out, but it feels too greasy as you eat it, and the layer of aji amarillo sauce underneath can't relieve the greasiness. Flank steak is also delicious, but sometimes the burnt parts are a bit bitter. Eggplant caponata is very cool and soothing, and goes well with greasy pork belly. Jamon Serrano ham is very delicious, delicious and refreshing. Bread is free and tastes average. It's okay to dip it in olive oil. The grilled octopus still tastes like Chinese gluten, which is not delicious. Finally, I want to complain about the price: tapas in Spain focus on cost-effectiveness and affordability, but in the United States, the price is several times higher. Paying a lot of money to eat a small dish, to some extent, loses the original fun of tapas. Japanese restaurants in the United States, especially izakayas, also have similar problems. All things considered, it's worth revisiting occasionally. 2023/9/15

The food is amazing! We had a conference where we rented the whole place and they did 4 courses with 13 dishes. Each dish was a five star dish! I definitely recommend going here! We also had a person with us that can't eat gluten and they made her separate dishes that were all gluten free, making the service awesome too!

Katie Gantley

GLUTEN WATCH: this food was very tasty but beware of cross contamination for items labeled gluten free. I ordered items that were labeled GF and was glutened. That being said, great service and the food was tasty!

Daniel Bogard

Great place great for gluten free (celiac)

Aidan Stephan

Daniel A. Was a great server, he knew what was gluten free, which helped my partner and I. Would recommend him to anyone there. He asked if we were there for an occasion and hooked us up. Excellent job.

Alice Seaman

Loads of gluten-free options, excellent service times and friendly staff. The food was delicious

Elsie Shinn

I’m not usually a huge fan of Greek food (I mean, it’s fine, just not my favorite). When I saw this place makes homemade gluten free pita, I just HAD to try it and I am SO glad I did!! Not only the only gluten free fresh pita I’ve ever had, it was delicious. Everything g my husband and I ordered looked, smelled, and tasted fabulous. Will absolutely eat here again. I’ve you’re not overly familiar with Greek food and want to give it a try, start here! You won’t be disappointed.

Rene Yamin

Great service. Michelle was very nice and helpful. Food was great will many gluten free options.

Annette Smith

Delilah Jade Silverstein (Jade)

Fantastic food and people!! Busy night and the food quality is beyond amazing. They have lots of gluten free options and even served gluten free bread with butter upon request. The service was a bit chaotic because of it being so busy and possibly under staffed. We ended up waiting a long time after the meal to pay our bill and the bill had an error on it, so be sure to check it! That being said, the wait staff were very kind and helpful! Will definitely be back :)

It's a solid brunch spot. Coffee is so-so, but staff is very friendly. I can't eat gluten and appreciated being able to chose an extra side over the bread. It's a busy place but the wait is never too long and the food is good!

Grace L

Great atmosphere and amazing service! Cool place to sit down and get some homework done. I was lucky enough to find a seat right away, but it was crowded- the place seems very popular! I got an iced oat milk latte with lavender and it was very good! I also got a gluten-free chocolate muffin, but it was honestly pretty dry, so I wouldn't recommend it.
