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

Mom Greenwich

This restaurant is the absolute best… Safe, good friendly… I can’t say more positive things about it. Anyone with celiac or gluten sensitivity shouldn’t walk there you should run!!

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.

Definitely a dive bar. Menu was clearly labeled GF. The French fries were great!

We visited Portland for the weekend and really enjoyed Orange Bike. We had someone in our group who has Celiac Disease and after hearing about Orange Bike we made our way over. Great beer, great people, and a great gluten free lobster roll. We even bought some cans to go.

Domonique

Great service. They have gluten- free lobster rolls! The lobster was okay.

Meredith Reed

Great options if you are gluten free!

Brad Petersen

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.

Courtney Kelm

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!

Patty Hall

The staff is always friendly and the food is delicious and VERY gluten friendly!!

Chin Down

Great food and atmosphere, kid friendly, gluten free options for most the menu.

Jai Patel

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!

Benjamin Senecal

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.

Olivia Overton

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.

Nathan Jensen

Gluten free lobster roll flight was amazing! 3 different types of lobster roll with a well toasted gf bun

Kris Hanna

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

Becca Olach

Cool Portland hotspot, has lots of seafood options. I am gluten free and had some choices there! Staff is accommodating to allergies!

Julianne

We love the crispy, light gluten free fish and chips! Even the chips (homemade fries!) are extra delicious!

Elle Hurley

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.

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

Molly McCown

Absolutely love this store - many unique gluten free items. And the staff is very kind.

Alannah McMahon

I had a great experience here, I was sure to ask a lot of questions following some confusion on here. Our server informed me that all of the batter they used for frying food was gluten free, and I had a gluten free lobster roll which was marked. I felt safe and that my celiac disease was fully understood. I had no reaction and staff seemed very competent in allergens.

Shannon Murdoch

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.

Bren Cueni

We both loved our pizzas. The Gluten-free one was quite tasty and the hubby loved his.

Brianna

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.

Realllyyy good pizza. The staff was very friendly. They have gluten-free options. It's expensive but it was worth it.

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!!

Shara Marquis

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.

David Gikoshvili

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.

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

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.
