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

Mel Griffin

Love their donuts, pizza and focaccia. Totally gluten free and delicious

Albert Randle

Food was very good, especially with Celiacs disease!! Owner is absolutely insane but in a good way, kind of difficult to describe. Highly recommend.

Jeannie Davis

Amazing flavors!! Got 1/2 a dozen, my absolute FAVORITE the strawberry!!! Gluten free!?? The texture reminds me of sticky rice more than a traditional donut. So very very delicious!!! I'll be back!!! It's a smaller place, not a lot of seating - I think there is more outdoor seating than inside, perfect for summer!! Service was friendly, and fast! I would highly recommend if you love pastries and are gluten free and or dairy free!! You may need to park a block away, WORTH IT!!!

I do not have celiacs and am not gluten intolerant. The chicken strips are one of the best chicken I've had in my life, gluten-free or not. They were so moist yet crispy and crunchy; I would come back for just the chicken strips. But the beer too! My partner and I had three different kinds and loved all of them. If you're in the area, gluten-sensitive or not, stop in! It's amazing.

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Portland. So many delicious vegetarian options.

My gluten free dreams came true. I haven’t had fare food in at least eight years. To finally have found a gluten free restaurant that serves corn dogs and funnel cakes that taste 10/10 was just the best thing ever. The corn dog was sweet, crunchy, salty, and flavorful. The funnel cake was sweet, soft on the inside and crunchy and chewy on the outside and exactly how I remembered from my childhood fare days. Super quick service, my food was ready in 8 minutes.

wonderful service, celiac safe, and great live music!!

Alex

This is the best vegan and gluten free food in Portland! Please open another location in SE!! I’d be here every day if it was closer.

Ale Vega

Bamboo Sushi is hands down one of my favorite spots in the city, their great food, service and atmosphere is pretty consistent. Also as a GLUTEN FREE girly I love feeling so safe and comfortable with the menu!

Owners are wonderful. Messaged with owner Deepak. Made sure my concerns were addressed regarding gluten cross contamination. I wish this restaurant was in Seattle.

100 percent gluten free menu, and good drinks. They have taco specials, I picked the seafood option. The tacos were good, very fancy with the ingredients. I wish I had tried the meat tacos as well. The passion fruit margaritas was also good.

R. Gerard Lester

I live in the neighborhood and have been meaning to give this place a try since they opened. Everything was delightful. They found a way to make injera gluten free so no excuses for you gluten avoiders. Even my parents loved it! The service was helpful and classy. Drinks and wine--yes! Don't wait, treat yourself to an easy night out at Abyssinian Kitchen!

Kim Guttinger

Delicious brunch options!

Andrea Farnum

I really wanted to love Via Chicago, especially as someone managing both gluten and dairy allergies. I built my own medium pizza with the gluten-free crust and the vegan cheese combo (Daiya and tofu ricotta). Unfortunately, it just didn’t hit the mark for me. The crust was thinner and a bit tougher than expected (definitely not worthy of the Chicago style title), but the biggest issue was the cheese… It was so heavy and overpowering that it completely overshadowed the rest of the pizza. Being from Chicago, I fully understand that Chicago style pizza has a lot of cheese, but when you’re working with alternative cheeses, certain alterations need to be made because they simply DO NOT cook the same as regular cheese options. The texture ended up being more slimy than satisfying, and there was more cheese than crust. There was actually more cheese than anything else, including the toppings that I added (pepperoni, pineapple and supposedly onion, but I didn’t see or taste that on the pizza) Ultimately, I understand that allergy-friendly options are often more expensive, but when I’m paying $35 for a medium pizza, I at least hope I’ll want to eat the leftovers. Sadly, that wasn’t the case here. While I appreciate the effort to offer gluten-free and vegan options, I don’t think I’ll be returning. If you’re looking for great gluten-free and vegan pizza in Portland, I’d highly recommend Boxcar instead, they do it Detroit style and they do it right!

Jeanne Weyers

Wonderful establishment!! Great service and the food is delicious! The gluten free crust is the best … taste is the same as a gluten crust. Thank you for making it taste “normal”! 😀🍕😀

As someone with celiac I really appreciate a dedicated gluten free kitchen. However, the options here are underwhelming. Got the pulled pork fries, which are just fries, pulled pork, and a sauce. Would be much better if there were more ingredients for a little more flavor, and honestly I would hope for a little more for $15

Emilee McKelvey

Loved that we were welcomed as soon as we walked in the door. After learning it was our first time eating here, our host gave us a comprehensive rundown of the menu, crowd favorites, and let us taste test each of the beverages (all of which were tasty and could easily become a fresh cocktail). They have the sampler option, with five mini tacos, or you can order them individually for $3.50+. Highlights: the horchata, the homemade corn tortillas, the barbacoa taco, the shrimp taco, and of course the fact that everything was gluten free for me to enjoy. I will definitely be a frequent regular customer!

Bryana Peterson

Absolute BEST place to get Pupusas. The people are soo nice and the Pupusas are amazing and gluten free! I’m a celiac, and have not gotten sick eating here. I just wish they had a way to leave a tip when you pay with card because the people working absolutely deserve it! Note: they are made fresh, so if in a rush, I recommend calling, but we never mind waiting!

Kim Guttinger

Love having a 100% gluten free sushi spot to eat at, and such good vegetarian options as well!

Rachel Holland

these people know what they are doing! everything is well marked and dedicated GF fryer. kind and thoughtful staff. we make a special trip to Portland, just to get the fried chicken here.

Annie Marie

The owner makes everything in house, down the mustard and ketchup. Each item is incredibly flavorful and custom. All items are clearly labeled with allergens, and there is a dedicated GF fryer. I have celiac disease and am very sensitive, I had no problems eating here. Highly recommend trying a mix of everything by way of the sides! Hands down best GF meal we’ve had out in Portland!

Leah Goeres

If you need gluten-free, vegan treats, this is the place! The lemon bar was delicious!

Coldplunge Bryan

Gluten Free Waffle Cones FUREAL

Ashley Grunwald

Absolutely amazing food! The burger was awesome the fries were on point. The chicken tenders were a little over cooked but lots of variety for gluten free options. The Marionberry lemonade is on point! I will definitely be back. Delicious food and great service! They even have an outdoor eating area.

Discovered this place on Tik Tok by a previous guest. Placed this on my must do - to do list to come to when adventuring on my 10 day Oregon roadtrip. Very hard to find places that are “true healthy” restaurants when traveling. Stopped in solo 5-30-25 post breakfast hours but before lunch. Was greeted by Cash - SO NICE, great personality!!!! suggestions were made but ultimately I decided to have the Vegan “tuna” chickpea salad sandwich. I had already had breakfast but wanted a light lunch before going hiking. (Had kitchen cut in half for me to take remainder on my hike). Loved the bread (almost sure and hoping it was gluten free) that was toasted lightly but not so hard it was like a crouton. The side soup was a vegetable type soup. Wow! Seasonings were on point with the sandwich and the soup. Bathroom was clean. ONLY THING that had me sad was no souvenir sticker. I travel all over the US frequently and enjoy collecting stickers. I don’t need cups, shirts when traveling. Please consider getting stickers. If I ever come back to Portland area. Hands down you will have a repeat customer coming back. Thank you!!

We went with Verde Cocina as the caterers for our wedding and could not be more pleased with the decision. Literally everyone came up to us to rave above the food. Having the EVO grill there made for a fun addition to the reception and also really made people feel like they were getting the most fresh high quality food. The cocktails were grabbed up almost immediately. Our only regret there was not buying more cocktails. The first bite of crab cake we got after hours of photo taking and wedding stuff will go down as a top 5 bite of food i've ever had. the sentiments were shared by many. Verde Cocina being a gluten-free restaurant and being very sensitive/aware of dietary restrictions was such a massive relief for us and for guests. Arro(in charge of the catering) was so quick with communication, extremely personable, and made the menu selection process a real joy. He's also just a nice guy, by the time we'd actually gotten married he was so excited to say congrats. Probably more that could be said, but I would just say if you are still looking for a catering option, just contact them. It will be worth exploring.

Jeff E

Wow! Amazing homemade tortillas. Incredible gluten free choices.

Tara Alsaidi

Start to finish, Rangoon bistro was the most wonderful experience! Excellent customer service started with a helpful call about hours, dietary restrictions, etc., and carried through to friendly banter with the chefs over absolutely delectable dishes. The tea leaf salad and very large dumpling were the highlights of an all around delicious selection (and are both gluten free!). We live out of town, but may start making the trip to Portland more regularly to try new items on the rotating menu! Thanks to everyone at Rangoon Bistro for an unforgettable evening!

So, uh, I'm not gluten free, but some of my best friends are, and this place is just perfect. Crispy, seasoned tenders, no gluten, great fries, killer slaw, just the total package and it's awfully close to Raising Cane's quality. But you can have it with a beer outside and go get carne asada fries after. You want this. Don't keep your side chicks a secret.

Doe

Yummy! Everything is gluten free except the bread, even desserts! ❤️

Phil Morrow

Friendly gluten free restaurant with an excellent selection of food, ciders and cocktails. It’s so reassuring to know they use quality ingredients and really care about their product. My only suggestions are to have a slightly more affordable can beer selection and to make sure food isn’t too hot as I burned my mouth unbelievably bad while eating a chicken sandwich.

Kelsey Konsen

Choosing to sit in the bar area during a busy, rainy Saturday was the right move. We were able to immediately get a seat and service was fast despite how busy they were. I tried their gluten free beer and it was really good - so many others are terrible. My husband loves their IPAs so he was in heaven.

Christine Lee

The food was delicious! We are from out of town, and we'd never been to Boxcar Pizza before. I am gluten free and vegan, so finding good pizza is tough. This was THE BEST vegan, gluten free pizza I've ever had! They also had Cheesy Garlic Bread that had a gluten free option. Simply amazing!

Barbara Stettler

Excellent celiac-safe food!

Marissa Stewart

Gluten allergy means I haven't had a waffle cone in a MINUTE, this was a fantastic treat. So many delicious choices

Anna Henning

It was a nice restaurant with good atmosphere. The staff themselves were the standout - they treated us really well and with kind attitudes. I went because I had heard they had lots of Gluten Free options, but would have liked to see more options than there were.

Ben Browne

The food: top tier The employees: delightful The atmosphere: casual, fun, upbeat, low-key As a celiac with a strict gluten free diet, this place is heaven. As a person who appreciates quality product/services, even more so.

Karen Butler

The gluten-free pizza is one of the best I have ever had! So glad to find this place when my husband and I were in the area for a convention. Thank you!

Kyla Pickard

The only unpleasant thing was bumping into someone when I got up from the table to use the restroom. The area is small and my booty is not. The food was AMAZING! Especially if you are gluten free. How do they get the cardamom french toast so thick? And the flavors *mwah.* I also tried the gluten free eggs Benny and it was very tasty too. Apparently there are yummy gluten free biscuits out there folks, and this is where they are hiding! Also the location is cool too because there are 2 vintage stores right next door basically. All the staff was very friendly too =^.^=

The Beet Rueben, The Walnut Chorizo Quesadilla, The Utopia Dream Salad, The Gilt smoothie, Garden Scramble…Love this place! And I feel safe coming here with my Celiac Disease which is huge.

Mary League

Lois K

Cassi Smith

Celiac safe food that tastes delicious! The staff was also friendly. Had a great experience

Ren Prince

Had a lovely dinner here with my girlfriend! The food was great and our server, Joe, was incredibly kind and welcoming. I also have celiac disease and he took excellent care to make sure my food was gluten free. Cannot recommend this spot enough!

Andrea Levy

Very busy, in a slightly crowded space, my friend and I waited about 20 minutes for a table. She had the egg scramble and I had a breakfast sandwich. Sides of potatoes were good and grits excellent. My sandwich was decent, with some nice flavors, should have gotten the bacon. The scramble was huge and full of veggies. Waiter was very nice and helpful dealing with my friend's gluten issues. This wasn't my 1st time here, but 1st in a while.
