Chef Emma created a fabulous Thanksgiving meal, served by the most pleasant and helpful staff. The service was excellent, the food was great for our gluten-free, vegan -adjacent diets!! I’d give more stars if I could!!
Love this place. Highly recommend a reservation. We couldn't get a reservation but got take-out & ate at their picnic tables! Saw many people go in and immediately leave because Sinful Kitchen was full up! Their are allergy aware & have many gluten-free & vegetarian options. Our group had the Monte Cristo, a fav, 2 different kinds of eggs Benedict- classic & crab, strawberry waffles, & corned beef hashvw eggs. I also love the BBQ jackfruit. We are not nearby but try to go at least 2x a yr.
Really really great pizza! We tried two gluten free pizzas, the pepperoni hot honey and the chicken bacon ranch. The crust is really good but the highlight was the chicken bacon ranch. Best I've had ever. The location offers beautiful views and the atmosphere was great.
Yosaku in Portland, ME, is a gem for authentic Japanese cuisine. I've been a patron for the last 8 years, and their Teuchi Soba, a gluten-free noodle made from 100% buckwheat flour, is a must-try. Unlike other soba that often contains wheat, Yosaku's commitment to quality is evident. With new ownership, there's been a subtle shift in taste, yet the restaurant maintains its excellent atmosphere and flavors. Their sushi and sashimi selection is extensive, including weekly specials. If you're lucky, you might even get to try their Otoro. For fish lovers, their Hamachi-Kama (Grilled Yellowtail Collar) is a delight, offered at a very reasonable price but in limited quantities.
I literally ordered 2 stacks of the blueberry gluten free pancakes and neither survived. And these were not skimpy stacks. They were the perfect treat to have on my birthday. Delicious coffee and so many other yummy pastries and gluten free options! I would go here every morning if I lived in Maine! Absolutely incredible!
Atmosphere, staff, and food were all amazing. We are a gluten free family and usually limited menu choices - Not here! There was a wide variety of gluten free items on the menu! We ordered the fish and chips, fish sandwich, braised short rib, cottage pie, and pickled onion rings. All were amazing! The batter for the fried items is always gluten free and items fried in a separate frier.
Food is excellent! Orange Bike gluten free beer is crisp and refreshing. Gabriela’s smile is refreshing and welcoming. She was kind and offered different beer selections. Very accommodating!

The Butcher Burger did a great job cooking the burger. The toppings went together well and produced an overall good experience. They offer gluten free buns that are a good size and taste good. The table seating is only outside with all the indoor seating being either at the bar or facing out the window. The inside does smell a bit smoky with all the cooking happening in the building, so you may want to eat outside if that bothers you.
Wow this place was really awesome! There was a ton of hype online about them so I was a bit skeptical…but wow did they deliver! What I appreciated was how good the gluten free and vegetarian options there were - it’s a small menu so I’m glad we had some choices. I got the mapo tofu and my girlfriend got a lamb ramen that they made gluten free. The non alcoholic drinks were really fun and whimsical as well! Would recommend!

Highly recommend for all your taco needs! Incredible atmosphere, tasty food and drinks. There are vegetarian/vegan friendly options as well as allergy-friendly options. The soft and hard taco shells are made with corn and are gluten free! Can't wait to return!
Our waitress was very friendly and attentive to my gluten allergy. She went above and beyond to explain the products and options on the menu I could have. The pesto sauce was the best we’ve ever had and it did not disappoint! The whole staff was very friendly and the food presentation was fantastic.
Lovely stop for a hearty breakfast, bring your appetite. The staff are super helpful and friendly. So many delicious choices on the menu. I’m gluten intolerant and they easily answer my questions. It’s always nice as a gf person to have multiple options to choose from. I had the shrimp and grits which was delicious. Heavy on the oils though and to be fair I prefer a red sauce on mine. My husband had the special which was lighter on the oils but a big meal. He loved the fried artichokes. We sat at the bar right away and by the time we left there was a lot of people waiting for tables outside. Coffee was great, fresh & I liked that she asked if we preferred a single or double shot. Over all we’d go again in a heartbeat to this small intimate restaurant
I really wanted to love this place! I've heard great things. Unfortunately, it wasn't a memorable experience. Most of the dishes tasted very similar, including everything from the baba ganoush to the tuna and the beef. We ordered the tasting menu hoping for a variety, but ended up receiving two of the same dish from different servers.
Service also felt a bit disorganized. When we ordered, the server asked about dietary preferences, but the person who introduced himself at the start of the meal left halfway through, and we didn’t have a consistent point of contact after that. We asked for gluten-sensitive options but no one followed up during the meal. It was confusing, especially when pita was brought out and the server seemed unsure why I was asking about gluten-free items. I can't say this seems to be a safe option for folks with celiac.
It was also uncomfortably hot inside. The air conditioning either wasn’t working or couldn’t keep up with the July heat, which made the experience less enjoyable.
I’d be open to giving this place another try - maybe it was just an off night - but unfortunately, this visit didn’t quite live up to the hype, especially given the price.
My sister has a gluten allergy and the staff was incredibly rude when we inquired. They advertise a whole GLUTEN FREE fry options but the fryer isn’t a separate fryer. So why advertise it as GF and then get rude when asked about it?
We were so excited to find this breakfast spot with gluten free options! The mini waffle with poached eggs and hollandaise was a delicious treat!! Home fries were gluten free, grilled just right and oh, I can’t even explain how great the California omelet was! Came hungry, left satisfied, and have leftovers too, all for a reasonable price. We will certainly be back! Thank you, Darcy, for a great experience.
The food and coffee are delicious. Prices are great. Gluten free friendly, vegan and vegetarian friendly. Only taking a point off for no high chairs. I think we'd come a few times a week if they had them
If I had the means to hand out Michelin stars, Twelve would get 3. My entire experience was nothing short of absolutely phenomenal. Our waiter, Andrew, was extremely and entirely knowledgeable. He was also insanely helpful with guiding me towards the gluten free options of the menu. Always had a smile and was very welcoming and attentive to us as well. The food was like nothing I have ever tasted before. Each course was full of flavor and came out beautifully with a brief description of what was in front of you. The mussels were to die for, along with the steak. I can confidently say that this was the best meal I have ever had in my life and although I live 4.5 hours away, I would drive the 9 hour round trip to eat at Twelve any given day. Thank you to the wonderful staff and the chefs for making this not one of, but THE best dining experience of my life.
Tiqa is one of our top three favorite restaurants in Portland 🙌🏼 the people & food there are incredible. We love the lounge area, it is so cozy to eat and have drinks. You can't go wrong with their bar high tops, lounge or outdoor seating. This place is phenomenal! We always leave 'feeling' good which speaks to the high quality of Tiqas ingredients and authenticity. I am Gluten Free and have no issues eating here!!
Great little place to enjoy some super tasty food. Has a vegan and gluten free menu. Items are also marked with how to make them vegan, gluten free, and pescatarian. Good sized portions, friendly staff, and nice quiet atmosphere. If I am in the area again, would definitely return.
The food at this place is amazing. I had a gluten free pizza and it was one of the best pizzas I have ever had. It did not even taste or look like a gluten free one. So much flavor. Great service as well. Highly recommend, will definitely go back.
This place was good but at about 3 pm they were out of stock of a lot of their menu (almost all the sausage variations, some hot dogs, and some sides). They do have gluten free buns typically but they were out when I went so I just had to have the hot dog without a bun.
The best tasting espresso I've had in Portland - don't sleep on this! Homemade corn tortillas and knowledge of Celiac. Cocktails are unique, staff are chill, and tacos are delicious. Thank you for the quality experience!
I was in Portland on a work trip and had a lunch date with one of my colleagues, we were on a mission to find a lobster roll (when in Maine, right). I have celiac, so at times it can make my food selection a bit harder but Boone's didn't disappoint.
We started with scallops, unfortunately we were too busy eating them before I realized I hadn't snapped a picture, they were cooked to perfection, they had just the right amount of sauce and I only wished there were four of them so we didn't have to share the last one.
The lobster rolls were great, they accommodated me with a GF roll (no one can make GF bread taste good, this isn't a them issue...convo for another day) and homemade chips had just the right amount of salt. Great choice for lunch!

If you need gluten free this is not the place. It's an afterthought here. Plenty of other options in Old Port to go to...like Ri Ra where you will be safer eating and you have a ton more options than the sad 2 or 3 offerings at this joint
We love Regards - it's always a pleasure to have dinner there. The food is unbelievable; it's always creative, inspired, and consistently delicious. My partner is vegetarian, and I am gluten free - they address both very conscientiously (and we have more than enough options). The atmosphere is great, and the staff is welcoming and attentive. Make sure this is on your list!
Perfect place for a super delicious and strong Coffee from Java )! I love experiencing new coffee flavors!! And my breakfast was such a delicious Sandwiches on gluten free wrap!!! The only detail that I don't really like is the "to go" format of the meal! BUT... everything was so delicious that it took a backseat! I highly recommend @Coffee ME!!! 👌🏻
It's an absolute treat to have breakfast with gluten free toast! I had the veggie omelette and it was delicious with a drizzle of their local hot sauce. My husband had the eggs Benedict Florinte and the eggs were perfectly prepared. It was a full house but the staff kept the hot coffee flowing. The kitchen was also fantastic turning out the breakfast dishes quickly. When we left, there was a line of people waiting which is always a sign that the food is worth the wait.
In one word - exquisite! We stopped in Portland for a night on our way to Acadia. This restaurant was one of the recommended places in the podcast we listened to when driving, so we made a reservation on the go, what a successful choice this came to be!
Got seated at the chef's counter - this is a jackpot seat as you see all the dishes come out and the chef was right there, kindly answering all our questions, as did the servers. We are spoiled in New York, but did this place give...
- bluefin tuna crudo GF - the flavors are complex, but not too loud, the fish fresh & buttery
- truffle braised leeks GF - cheesy, loved it, especially the fact that truffle was not overpowering
- fried maine grains polenta GF - this was so unexpected heavenly, we could come back to Portland for this dish alone... the marigold leaves (we had to ask the chef what the little flavor burst leaves were)... fennel.. that crust.. soft melty fluff inside... mmm....
- bone marrow toast - if you're hungry, this will fill you up. It was tasty but we were waiting for a horseradish kick that never came (our expectations are our problem though). It could be that at this point we were just already full and also spoiled by the dishes that came before.
- suckling pig GF - it looks as if it would be too fatty but it's not. It's perfect. It killed the pulled pork for me forever. I don't want to get any pork after this because nothing can beat it.
- goat ragu al forno - the flavors were dancing and merry, a bit too salty to our taste, but it might be just us, otherwise perfection, never had a better ragu!
- jasmine poached pear GF - we don't eat sweets, ordered a desert still, because evidently this is not an ordinary restaurant. For us, this was too sweet to taste any flavors. It could be we're just sensitized to sugar.
We wish we got some veggies on the menu, because they looked fantastic! We definitely will next time we're in Portland.
Lora was a class server, drinks on time, plates cleared out of the way at all times, no delays or wait times for anything, all questions answered, very pleasant manners.
Thank you for working with us on gluten free options (for one of us).
We hired Bird & Co to cater our 100 person wedding and we were so impressed. From the initial inquiry to the wedding day, Emily was very responsive and willing to answer any questions we had. They were even able to accommodate my celiac guests with most of our menu options. Our guests were raving about the food, the staff were all friendly and we couldn't have been happier! Would definitely recommend.
Phenomenal! Service was excellent. The gluten free pasta is TERRIFIC. I got the penne al pollo and I have nothing negative to say about the dish. The portions are large, we got a small and still had leftovers. We will definitely return.
Great little restaurant on Peaks Island. Very friendly staff and the food was excellent. Lots of options on the menu. My son has celiac and they were knowledgeable and accommodating. The Korean Bulgogi was fantastic and all 5 in our party enjoyed the meal and great sunset views of the city. For dessert the Boston Cream Pie and Carrot Cake were both delicious. We will make a point of returning here in the future!
