Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore After Dark in New Orleans

Anthony Slaughter

The food was awesome! And Henry is the man! His recommendations were the selections that I went with and he took care of me with regard to my gluten allergy. I went with the red fish and it was so good. It was the perfect end to my 60th birthday celebration in the Big Easy.

Jess and Eric were absolutely fantastic! Their service was top-notch from start to finish. My wife has Celiac disease, and they were both incredibly knowledgeable and attentive when helping her find safe and delicious options. We truly appreciated their care and attention to detail. Thank you for making our experience so enjoyable!

If you're gluten free and missing muffalettas, the muffaletta pizza on gf crust is worthy.

Christopher Davis

We sat out in the air conditioned front section and Christy took great care of us! We were looking for some yummy gluten free options and Sophia’s pizza was really great. Next time we will try the gf pastas. Christy was awesome and the kale salad was my favorite - definitely try the kale salad.

Victoria recommends the steak tacos to her fellow gluten free eaters.

I was hoping for a good meal away from the French Quarter, but we got so much more. The entrees were SOOO good, they truly took us by surprise. I’ll remember the chicken and the shrimp dishes for a while. I rarely order dessert, but after an entree that good, I needed to see what dessert offered. The Salted Peanut Pie was delicious. Only thing of mention was about the lack of gluten free dessert options - typical ice cream and sorbet offering.

I ordered the Vegan Lover Pizza, which I’ve gotten several times before, only to have a different employee tell me that it’s not actually vegan unless you order it with the gluten-free crust??? Wildly misleading! Apparently, the regular crust has butter in it. I am so thankful that other employee let me know. Sad and deceived.

Upon returning from the swamp to where we were all hungry, so we had the bus drop us off on canal street. We dined at Olde Nola Cookery a family-owned gem nestled right on Bourbon Street in the heart of the French Quarter. Its motto—“Cooked by Locals, Spiced with History”—captures the spirit of the place perfectly, they also accommodate gluten-free which is an added bonus! The menu is a celebration of classic New Orleans fare: think Cajun and Creole staples and their much-loved gator bites. Seafood is a standout there, we had dishes like blackened alligator salad, gluten free crab cakes, tender half rack pork ribs and shrimp po’boys. They also offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, which is a thoughtful touch for a city not always known for dietary flexibility. The atmosphere is quintessentially French Quarter—colorful, a little rowdy, and full of character. With three dining rooms and a balcony overlooking Bourbon Street, it’s a great spot for people-watching or soaking in the sounds of the city while enjoying a meal If you’re ever in the mood for a meal that feels like a love letter to New Orleans—bold, soulful, and just a little indulgent—Olde Nola Cookery might be your spot.

Great pizza! I ordered a gluten free vegan pizza that was fantastic.

Maegan Pollard

We had a great time dining in for a company dinner. The service was fast and our server, Sirius, was an excellent host. He was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I forgot to take pictures but the food was delicious! And the cornbread was probably my favorite thing I ate. My co-worker is also gluten free and was able to enjoy a lot of food and even the charbroiled oysters! Would recommend!

We went here specifically for gluten free food. The owner was there and super friendly. We ordered gluten free fried green tomatoes, shrimp, crayfish, catfish, pickles, and fries. The coating/breading was light and airy. We were the only ones in the restaurant. It was a little awkward, quiet, and dark.

Laura Foster

I am gluten free but the others with me were not. The charbroiled and raw oysters are amazing! And they're gluten-free except you have to ask for bread on the side. I probably did not order the right thing, but I had the grillled shrimp which were meh and the fries that were nice. for gluten full people, the beignets were a hit and also the gumbo and bisque

Becca Chapman

best gf fried chicken and fries ever! and wonderful cocktails 😁 I have celiac and I am always safe here

Erin Carriel

We wanted Fabulous local food and Sylvain’s did not disappoint! We had the Pappardelle Bolognese and Striped Bass which were both delicious, we also had the Fried Cauliflower which was a wonderful surprise!! Our server Chris was knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. They were able to accommodate my gluten free restrictions, including dessert…a coconut crème brûlée! The ambiance was intimate and beautiful, we loved everything about this restaurant and highly recommend it!

I love getting the chicken avocado wrap! I have a little day date with my dog here on their outside seating often. I love that they offer gluten free and vegan options on their menu so I can bring my friends too

Rhys James

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.

Run to this restaurant. The dishes are so delicious with lots of flavor and balance spices. Prince is very patient to explain the recipes, the used ingredient and the history of this Ethiopian cuisine. In addition 99,99% of the dishes are gluten free.

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.

Jaime Fancher

Yum! Went here twice on our vacation, so good! Gluten free waffles were perfect. Customer service was excellent!

George Fields

Jerry Rogers

Food was excellent we took our food to go so I don't know how it was inside. My wife has a gluten allergy she said the gluten-free pizza tasted great which is hard to do would go back

I cannot have gluten or seed oils due to severe allergies, and this restaurant was very accommodating with their steak and working with me on sides because it's very difficult to eat out sometimes. The New York strip was cooked. Absolutely perfectly service was fantastic and the restaurant was very clean.

Kira Branscum

Really good gluten free pizza! Staff were friendly and nice!

Beyza

As an Ethiopian, I can attest that this restaurant is definitely serving great quality authentic Ethiopian flavors! Great for vegetarians and gluten friendly. I can compare this food to the standard of my own family cooking. The waitress was also nice and knowledgeable in the dishes. Give it a try!

The food was very tasty with good sized portions -- I had the cheese enchiladas and my partner had the street tacos in jerk chicken and adobo. The jerk chicken was incredible. The music was super loud, which I wasn't a fan of, and the servers were laid back, which I don't mind but some people don't like. There were a lot of drink specials and an abundance of vegetarian options on the menu, and eating gluten free was very easy. We'll definitely be back.

I placed a take-out order for gluten-free pad thai. When I arrived, the system wasn't working properly and they had not received my order. The host took my order and apologized. It was ready in about 5 minutes, which was incredibly quick. The flavors were robust and very authentic. Thanks for the great food, service, and gluten-free options!

Get the chicken, bacon pizza and substitute the red sauce for the butter garlic. Amazing!! The staff are friendly for sure. The place is small so if you have a large group it may stick you in the back near where they make the dough. The gluten free is not made in house but is really good. The chicken wings are also fantastic. We had ours with BBQ sauce. They were crispy and meaty. For two sodas, pizza, and wings came to around $50 with tip.

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 👌🏻

Helen Crotty

Great deal for the Quarter. Gluten free safe!

Vanina Di gallo Downie

It's our first visit to New Orleans and we chose this place for dinner and we had an excellent experience. The food was incredible, super tasty and fresh. And the great thing is that they have several gluten free options. The dessert was 💯 cheesecake and cream brulee

Michael Minuto

Great place. Gluten-free options for pasta and pizza. Some other menu items could be gluten-free, but you had to ask, they were not marked. They had one of the best GF pizza crust I ever had. I look forward to trying other menu items. Points off for a wobbly table and chair.

So the place is cute and the staff are incredibly kind and friendly, but unfortunately, I had a really bad experience. I am gluten free, got their little gluten free menu, told the waiter I'm gluten free, ordered the grilled oysters, and it came with bread. I asked the waiter if the bread was gluten free and he said yes. I ate the bread, it was delicious, and then the waiter came back and recommended I eat the oysters with the crackers(I'm new to oysters and I asked how to eat them), but the crackers are clearly made with wheat. So I asked again, is the bread gluten free? He said yes. I said, are you sure? Because I already ate some. He scurried to the back and asked the chef and sure enough, it's normal bread. He was panicked, I told him I won't die, and then told me to get to a CVS asap. He still made me pay for my drink after I said I wouldn't pay for the food. I didn't argue because I just needed to get out asap and I'm non-confrontational. Celiac disease isn't like lactose intolerance. I get sick, for days sometimes. This experience sucked so bad and I'm so upset because I'm only in nola for 2 more days and I'm going to be feeling weak and nauseous the rest of my time here. Again, the staff was so friendly! But he needs to know more about common allergies.

Becky Morgan

This was a great find in a recent trip to New Orleans. The food and service were amazing. They were able to point me to several gluten free options. I was able to eat any of the specialty oysters without breadcrumbs. The red snapper dish was also gluten free and delicious. The cocktails were fun, too.

Heather Moon

The falafels are excellent. The humus and tahini are so fresh. I’ve been twice in 3 days and will go back at least a third before I leave NOLA. They are very knowledgeable about gluten free options as well. If you want freshly made and excellent food you can feel good about eating, then I highly recommend Cleo’s.
