Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Colorado

A very nice place for breakfast and lunch. The stuff is very knowledgeable about Gluten sensitivity and other allergies. We have two daughters with Celiac and we felt very safe to try new foods. The curry chicken salad sandwich was really good and the Mediterranean fries were delicious. They bake really good GF jabeta. we will come again.

Jessa Crisp

Wowwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best place I’ve been too as a celiac!

Christopher Cannon

Another great trip to Federal! The food is always delicious and lots of gluten free options.

Briana Jara

Food and service were amazing! Sam was our server, and she’s great. Lots of gluten-free options! The bread is probably the best GF bread I’ve had, and the pasta was good, too.

Ian Hildebrandt

Now that they have animal protein it is a game changer! Chicken and braised pork. 100% gluten free menu. Really great food.

Nicole McKenzie

Great atmosphere to enjoy the wonderful food! Awesome gluten free options!

Gini W

This place is my favorite restaurant. Everything is unbelievable and even my non-celiac husband loves it!

JoAnn Vilagi

Absolutely the best gluten free beer I've ever found.

Sammy C

They have soooo many gluten free options and they all taste amazing! We will definitely keep coming back!

Lindsay Johnson

Highly recommend this restaurant for a tapas dinner. Everything we tried was delicious and added bonus that it's gluten free.

Christopher Bielinski

Very good food, very good service and a neat atmosphere. Lots of vegan and gluten free options (we had both in our group).

Sarah Cradeur

the only thing on the menu that is not gluten free is literally a single hamburger bun that you can ask not to be on your food. this place is amazing and tempura?! GLUTEN FREE TEMPURA?!?

Ariane Volk

Absolutely fantastic! All day weekday happy hour with $5 mimosas (special with pomegranate liquor!) and bloody Marys, and almost everything can be made gluten free. The gluten free Cinnamon pancake was just out of this world delicious. Bravovado toast was a treat. Can't recommend this place enough.

I am celiac and was so excited about this place. The chicken is good, I really can’t complain when i find a place that I can eat at a not worry. The thing that bothers me is the price of the GF beer. It is the most expensive compared to any bar I have ordered it from. $10? Really? I know what a 4 pack costs. I’ve been to the brewery in golden, it’s local and you’re telling me you can’t price it better for your celiac gf customers??? $8 a beer is a profit, $10 is crazy! How do you support a community but overcharge tremendously on locally made beer? I can’t sit and enjoy beer and chicken there. Two beers is $20 on top of the cost of everything gf being up charged. Give us a break on the beer. That is crazy to me! I am so sick of people taking advantage of the GF upcharge? That’s done with now.

Conner Lyapunov

the food was pretty okay!! unfortunately they were out of all of their lemonades which was a bummer :( otherwise they’re good with gluten free accommodations (on pizza and and sandwiches)

Tom Green

Great food, great service, excellent gluten-free options. A little bit noisy.

Erik Aldeborgh

Very lively place, with great menu of creative dishes. Entire menu is gluten free so no worries here. Not your typical Tex-Mex kind of place. I had the birria entree that came with a large bone marrow side with several soft corn tortillas and delicious rice and beans. Very attentive waitstaff who knew the menu inside out. Parking can be a significant issue.

Anna Tumadottir

Top notch food. Quick and friendly service, Corey was attentive and helpful with modifications. Especially great spot for those with restrictions, options for vegan AND gluten free needs. New favorite: hibiscus green iced tea 🍵🧊

Casey Grace

Everything is truly gluten free and it's a great bakery for those with Celiac Disease. Their donuts are so delicious. They are dense and moist, even after bringing them home. The staff is awesome and always friendly!

William McColm

One of Denver’s finest restaurants & the best sushi! Wonderful service & they easily accommodate my celiac needs.

Kelly Rice

I used to work here and I would not say this is a celiac safe place to eat. That was five years ago and they could have changed their practices since then, but when I worked there they had shared production areas and fryers. They are very allergen friendly, but as a celiac, I wouldn't risk it.

Elias Herrera-Mishler

I don't typically trust restaurant pizza with my celiac, but their website is clear about their Gluten Free procedures, so I felt pretty confident about eating here. I got a margherita with pepperoni. The crust was good. The dough is made in-house, and is stretched (in a separate area, with separate toppings) like a normal pizza crust. My gluten eating mom actually preferred the Gluten Free crust over her normal one. That being said, don't order your pizza "extra crispy" if you don't want a heavily charred crust. Overall, it was REALLY nice to have a fancy restaurant pizza that I could trust. This place is Celiac safe, if that's why you are looking at the reviews.

Isabella Perez (Bella)

It’s order at the front, then they bring items to the table for you. If you like Kombucha, they have a rotating homemade Kombucha flavor which they make very well. I always leave here with my tummy feeling great. I do think the portions are on the small side, so come here if you want to feel light after eating. So many delicious gluten free options, and the staff are attentive to your dietary needs which I really appreciate

Anne Namuth

This place is dedicated gluten free and they have several breakfast and lunch options. The staff was super friendly. Lunch was a little pricier than I anticipated. But was worth being able to order anything on the menu.

First time coming to ‘El five’, my partner and I were first sat in a very awkward table on the edge of the restaurant- thankfully they were accommodating to moving us out to the patio. We were initially asked if we had any allergies (my partner has a gluten allergy and another allergy as well- any consumption of either causes severe debilitating migraines, blacking out, and loss of appetite for at least a week) we were made aware of which options were gluten free- the server was more than knowledgeable about the ingredients and advised us of the fact that they use the same fryer for both gluten and gluten free options. If you have celiac, I would avoid getting food here. We initially were looking to get the eggplant fries which say they’re “gluten free” but yet are not guaranteed. Our server gave us a recommendation based on allergy preference. When the food came out we weren’t sure what we had ordered since we had to switch our initial pick so we were not dealing with any cross contamination. They ended up bringing out the wrong dish to the wrong table and unfortunately my partner consumed a good majority before we were made aware the mistake happened. If you are gluten free or have any sort of allergy definitely be weary of ordering and double check before consuming. They ended up not charging us for our meals thankfully- unfortunately that doesn’t change the mistake made but the gesture was appreciated. On the bright side, the drinks were good and the people working at there were very nice- just be cautious and ask twice. ** Update- definitely a major concern for anyone with celiac, not worth it for the price or the possibility of being served food containing an allergen without them triple checking that they’re doing everything right. Our bill totaled $160 for two people. The only reason we went here was for the abundance of gluten free menu items advertised, which they clearly cannot truly provide. You would think they could afford to have a separate fryer to actually accommodate the allergies that are LABELED MENU ITEMS LISTED AS GF. I hope someone within management/ownership realizes the detrimental effect that this caused and will make changes to the way they prepare/serve food. I have been to restaurants with no gluten free options that were able to accommodate us no problems and no worries after the fact. Don’t waste your time or money.

Scotty “Marbles” Merrill

Love this place! Great pricing, tasty food, and they've done a wonderful job with gluten-free (for Celiac). Definitely our go-to breakfast spot!

Erin Lester

We love their special cheese/Teo and gluten free vegan option as well.

elsa eager

this place is very good. every thing is gluten!! I got there chocolate cake it was delicious.

Jason Kittle

Disappointed and not really worth the $$$. I could make gluten free better at home and get more for the same money. $10+ for two items

Isabella Perez (Bella)

The food took a long time to arrive, and when it did, my brisket sammy and tater tots were cold. The gluten free bread here is not that good- it’s dry. The candied pork belly wedge and the hotbox mac and cheese were both very good. The restaurant was really cold, and the music is super loud. While the food was decent, all the other factors make it a 3 star.

Tara Premenko

This celiac loved having gf fish & sweet potato fries! Oh my gosh-my hubby got the Prime Rib …he’s still raving about it! Margaritas were big & super tasty too. We’re traveling through but so thankful to the Atly App for fun, safe places like this! I highly recommend 😎

Kristina Williams

So things to note about this place is that if you are Celiac and cross contamination is an issue the actually options for your are much lower than what is labeled Gluten Free. I will say that was pretty disappointing. I’m new to this and was really excited thinking there were so many options only to find out most of them were technically not celiac safe. (Guess this is something I’ll be getting used to.) With that being said, still had a wonderful experience. Great drinks, the staff is top tier and the server was super clear and helpful explaining what was actually safe for celiac. What we did get was delightful. Absolutely worth going to just make sure you clarify with your server on what will have cross contamination and what won’t even though it’s labeled GF.

Ryan Martin

This place is great if you have a dairy allergy as most things are vegan by default. If you have a gluten allergy you have to be careful as they do not have have a dedicated gluten free fryer. The killer for me is that I have issues with gluten dairy and soy. They had very few dishes available that could accommodate my soy allergy. Caprese pizza with cashew ricotta. It was ok. I was devestated I couldn't have the chicken and waffles. Great cocktails.

Ron BY

Great food. Great service. They place was really busy when we came, but the atmosphere was really nice. I'm not an expert on Mexican food, but everything we tried was really good. As a family with Celiac, it felt really nice to know we can enjoy any dish with no concerns. we will come again.

I can’t over emphasize how amazing our time was here. We let them know in advance it was our wedding anniversary and there wasn’t a single staff member we interacted with that didn’t make a point to tell us “Happy Anniversary.” - it was so lovely! They even gave us a special Anniversary menu! Every single sip and bite was exquisite. We’ve been to Italy and we’ve eaten true Italian food- this is the real deal. But what really seals this as a “must go” is the service. Brittany, our server, was so amazing. She made us feel welcome and appreciated. She was extremely knowledgeable and truly elevated our experience. Brett and Connor were both extremely helpful as well. Connor was our sommelier recommending the perfect bottle of wine in our price point. I nearly forgot to mention that I’m gluten feee and Brittany made sure that everything I ate was safe. She knew the menu top to bottom. Overall, 11/10 ❤️ Brittany tipped the scale!

Rashelle L. (R. Lavi)

My friend and I definitely got sick from this place. It felt like a gluten crash. It was terrible. One if us ordered the bison and had no idea it was raw, the waiter didn't say anything and it wasn't written anywhere. The waiter would not take it back for something else. He was clear we would be charged.

Patricia Wilson

I ordered the French toast, gluten-free breakfast and ordered my eggs over hard and the edges were so crispy. I had to cut it with a knife. The bacon was too crispy. The French toast was good however. Service was good. She was very attentive.

William Boland

Feels like an authentic French Cafe, good service and the food was tasty. They’re able to make Gluten Free Crepes and I got the Toscana which was very good. It felt a bit heavy as it was a big portion which left me more than satisfied. A bit pricey with a double espresso and one crepe plus tip coming in at over $25 but Id go back. Parking can be dicey!

Austin Keys

This was my favorite spot in town to meet friends for good food and good beer. I've met a lot of new close friends at trivia night. Loved the staff, the entire environment and the overall energy of this location. They had the best Karaage in Denver!! Unfortunately, I noticed a big change in the energy and quality of the location under new ownership. The food menu was cut to a much smaller menu. They no longer had sports playing. The hours they were open were reduced. The beer used to be gluten reduced and was why I came here (gluten intolerant.) I had an incident last week after going to happy hour and got really sick. After talking to some of the staff I was informed they no longer reduce the gluten in the beer since the new owner took over. You can't just stop removing the gluten in the beer and not even tell the regulars or ppl coming in. Someone could have a serious reaction and be hospitalized. Luckily I was better after a few days. The new owner has now laid off all the staff and it's turned into an Indian food buffet (yak and yeti.) I went into a yak and yeti one time a few years ago and walked out due to the rudeness of staff, smell and lack of cleanliness of the establishment. I'm very upset spice trade is gone. This new owner destroyed spice trade. This is a great loss to the community and the memories we have all shared. My heart goes out to the great staff. Thank you for all the great memories! ❤️🙏

Spectacular food! The staff were super friendly and attentive and were able to accommodate for a severe gluten allergy. We had the Vodka Penne (with gluten free pasta), and the sausage french bread pizza. Both were really tasty, lots of flavor. We also ordered one of their gluten free cannolis and a piece of strawberry cheesecake to-go and were very pleased with both. I am not gluten free but my wife is, and her pasta and cannoli didn't taste any different from traditional recipes! I would actually order it myself. The restaurant had a cool atmosphere. It's a pretty small place (only 10 or so tables) with family photos on the walls.

First time here and what a fun place ! I like the variety of baked goods as well as the made to order menu items . They have a good selections of drinks you can order as well ! Food was good And quality ingredients , It was great to feel safe to eat knowing this place is 100% Gluteen free as well as some of the top allergens .

Josh Eaton

Only go here for dessert and cocktails! This place has the samw quality of food as Applebee's. I ordered the balsamic Ribeye and while the balsamic was a nice touch to the flavor of the steak. The cut amd cook was identical to Applebee's. The mashed potatoes were no better than apples bees. My kids ribs and other kids grilled cheese where like Applebee's quality. I was shocked. Adding balsamic to a steak doesnt justified a $10 price increase over Applebee's. The cocktails were really good and they have a separate gluten free menu which is nice. Gluten free souffle was also delicious. I will be back but only for drinks and dessert.

Suann Ditzler

Love this place! This restaurant has a Michelin star, and the food reflects The gourmet quality of that star. I knew this was gluten free, but I didn't expect the quality of the ingredients and the feeling that I was in a true gourmet restaurant. Gluten-free pizza is here are incredible as is the focaccia and the salads. If you want a true experience, come to this place, you will not regret it!

Lo Wood

Great spot for happy hour! And lots of options too. If you’re gluten free - ask for their separate gluten free menu (love to see it!) We did the Sunday all day happy hour and were so excited to try a few new things. It’s still pricey but worth it ☺️

Carlos Hernandez

Had dinner here not too long ago & made sure that there were items on the menu that were gluten free as my girlfriend has Celiac Disease. When we were sat, my girlfriend asked what items are gluten free (to be 100% safe) and he said "just tell me what you want and I'll see." then she asked if he's our waiter or someone else and he said "we all help each other". Ok. Then the wine list arrives and my gf then had to ask the gal helping us with wine what is gluten friendly on the menu. She was SUPER helpful. Clearly the gal that helped my gf with wine confronted 'our waiter' because for the rest of the night, he was overcompensating and being awkwardly talkative. We just wanted our food at that point. Then on top of all of those awkward interactions with our waiter.... he charged us for an extra bottle of wine we didn't drink. I then had to flag down a member of the staff to initiate a return/bill again while our Uber was out front waiting for this. Spent $500 on dinner which was great BUT the experience with the waiter ruined it. Cherry Creek Grill is the better choice, their staff is ON POINT.

Eddie Baisden

Super cozy place, especially at night. For cocktails, this is as good as a speakeasy when you want the bartenders to make interesting drinks. I always want to be surprised and always am with the amazing cocktail creations! As for food, I recommend the French Dip but get the gluten free bread. The roll is better than the regular one. Hope you have as much fun as I do here!

Celiacs, be extremely cautious! I was mistakenly served a regular hazy IPA containing gluten after specifically ordering a gluten-free option. As someone with celiac disease, I was excited to enjoy a beer again and trusted the staff to serve the correct one. Unfortunately, they gave me the Steep Hazy IPA instead of the gluten-free Holiday Hazy IPA. Being from out of state, I didn't recognize the difference right away and assumed it was what I ordered. This kind of mistake isn't minor — consuming gluten can have serious medical consequences for people with celiac disease. The staff did comp my bill, but the error left me very distressed, and there’s no way to know yet what health repercussions I might face. If you have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, I strongly recommend exercising extreme caution when ordering here.

Gluten free flour, but made from wheat— so if you’re sensitive to wheat this will still make you sick.
