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

loved everything about this place!

After the acquisition of the business to the new owner, things have continued to slide downhill. This place used to be my favorite however the new owner also does not have celiac and is not aware of the quality required to run this bakery correctly. They've been continually chopping the quality of ingredients and no longer use purity protocol oats as I've gotten sick several times now from them. Additionally, they have an Okay rating in terms of health and food safety after having some incidents.

Absolutely phenomenal food and totally Celiac-safe. A must!

Laura Kelly

This place is a gluten free heaven. A full sized menu of gluten free options. The gluten tortellini is incredible.

Ethan Maiden

This place is a hidden gem. Also amazing restaurant if you have celiac disease. I’ve never gotten sick.

David Otis

Great food and ambience. They have options for vegan and gluten free dishes and a very nice sun room with a fountain that helps provide a great atmosphere.

Nina Rose

Gluten Free Italian heaven. Pizza, Pasta, Ravioli, GARLIC BREAD, and cheesecake just to name a few. Entirely gluten free menu and just amazing 🥲

This was a truly amazing meal!! Fish of the day was Halibut and prepared gluten free. It was so good. My son had gluten free Fish & Chips - first time and is hooked!! We saved room for dessert of a cheesecake that is something we will get again this weekend! Of course gluten free!! Amber was so kind and took great care of us! The place is cozy and great atmosphere!! We will eat again there soon. **To note- my son and I both have Celiac Disease and had no issues. Truly gluten free!!

Portage Bay Cafe in South Lake Union is a gem for breakfast and brunch lovers! The atmosphere is bright and welcoming, with a trendy yet casual vibe. Their commitment to organic and locally sourced ingredients truly shines through in every dish. The Bananas Foster French Toast and berry toppings bar are absolute must-tries—fresh, delicious, and incredibly satisfying. The portions are generous, and the service is consistently friendly and efficient. Whether you’re dining solo or with family, this spot caters to everyone, including vegan and gluten-free options. Outdoor seating is pet-friendly, making it a great choice for dog owners. Yes, there’s often a wait, but the food is worth it! Highly recommend making a reservation if you’re visiting on weekends. A fantastic place to start your day in Seattle! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We are Texans born and raised and was curious about the Mexican Food here in Seattle… we walked over to Cactus and we’re not disappointed! The service was stellar from the start, we were immediately greeted by the manager and walked to our table. We never had a moment of waiting and enjoyed the smiles all around! The vibe was nice and the food was good (I have a gluten and dairy allergy and they were accommodating). Must try (good margs)!

Great food! The burger was one of the best I’ve had in a while, very flavorful and had a really nice texture. The bun was fresh and the blue moon sauce is great. The ranch dressing is from a packet, if that matters to you. I would prefer house made but it was still good. Really appreciate all the gluten free options for my partner with Celiac. I’m not sure if they have a dedicated gf fryer though.

Jomar Dela Cruz

So many great options for sushi lovers, vegetarians, kids, and even picky eaters! (Almost the entire is Gluten Free! 🫨) Servers are so attentive and knowledgeable and entire staff makes you feel welcomed. Food is amazing, highly recommend!!!

Bailey Lesslie

Such yummy sandwiches! Made GF with a biscuit that didn’t crumble or taste dry

I do not recommend this place. Food poisoning. No kids menu. Not accommodating. The waiter not knowing the difference between dairy-free and gluten-free. Unfortunately, that was from our experience at Rock Creek. We dined with a large group (11 people) to celebrate a birthday/wedding. We were seated in a semi private area upstairs in a corner. Which was nice. I called ahead to ask if I could bring individually packed custom cookies as a gift for the couple we were celebrating. They informed me that it would be $3 per person to do that. Needless to say, we didn’t do that. So bizarre. One family in our group had a small child. We were disappointed they didn’t have a kids menu. They offered pasta with butter or olive oil but then tried to sell us the sea bass. We asked if we could go next door and get a hot dog for the little one and they said no. We weren’t asking for much. Just something for the child to eat. The family ended up leaving our party, taking the child next door to eat first- then returning to eat their meal. So inconvenient!! The child has food allergies, but the waiter kept interchanging dairy-free and gluten-free as if they were the same. It was really frustrating to be offered gluten-free food that has dairy in it, when we specifically said the child was ‘dairy-free’. Please educate your staff! Lastly, a couple in our group ended up with food poisoning after the dinner and was out of sorts for days. We will not be back.

The gal at the register was great. Kind, informative and patient, also fun! My biscuit was great- so thankful for a good gluten free biscuit!! The sandwich was tasty and I wish I could grab these more often. Outside, you order at the window and wait for your to-go order. Not really seating- which I didn’t realize in advance.

Crystal Dunning

Amazing food and (as if possible)even better service!!!! Also it has a ton of Gluten Free options!!!! A must go to for sure!!!

Lauren Harris

This was so good. As a celiac, it’s always difficult to find sushi. Rolls were fresh and staff were knowledgeable. There are more limited selections available but if you’re not picky, this is a great spot. Would highly recommend.

Lauryn Christean

Food was wonderful! Excellent option for groups that need to accommodate Vegans, Carnivores, Gluten Free & Dairy Free!

Melissa Bitz

Hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant in Seattle. I've tried so many dishes and love all of them. there are so many options for different diet restrictions such as vegetarian and gluten free. It's one of the few celiac-safer restaurants that my loved one feels safe to eat at too.

MaddiezMunchies

Only a couple dishes could be made gluten free and none of the desserts could really be modified to gluten free. Even so the pasta sauce was delicious and made up for the lack of options. We had a dessert red wine (recioto della valpolicella) that was absolutely delicious, the chocolate notes were mouthwatering. Even so for the price and the serving sizes I probably wouldn’t go back, especially if you have a food allergy.

Anna Tennis

Some of the best Indian food I've eaten (although if you're white and want heat order extra spicy rather than spicy). I do think the slightly higher prices are worth it for the food quality. Excellent service. Excellent gluten free and vegetarian options.

Brian McIntosh

We found this little gem while we were out and about. We came here because it had good ratings and gluten-free alternatives. The gluten-free bun was exceptional as was the burger. The service was very friendly. We will be going back the next time we're in Ballard.

Rayanne Kruse

Great seats and atmosphere. Server was attentive but did not overly linger. Food was ok. Chowder is star would probably just stick with that next time. Lots of gluten free potions including gluten free desserts.

Caroline Chow

Green papaya salad was our table's favorite. Other highlights include the crab fried rice and the pad see ew. I found the tamarind pad thai to be too sweet and not with sour. This was a great restaurant for a large group (13 people) and also celiac friendly. Warm, efficient service with great recommendations. Would recommend and return for more tasty food.

Evan Eves

Ceviche so good it will make your face sweat. Crispy gluten free empanadas. Owner and staff are very friendly. I'll be back.

Dillon Rivera

Food was decent. Appreciated that they have a lot of gluten free options. Their potatoes were mushy when I wished they were crispy. Good eggs benedict though!

Derin Çayır

The food was delicious and the portions were huge!!! The atmosphere was hectic even early in the Sonday morning. But I will recommend here for a quick breakfast. Also tons of vegetarian and gluten-free options!!

Avery McCall

Lots of GF options and most servers very knowledgeable when you mention you have an allergy! Have loved the food every time

Saggio Ricercatore

Great spot for a snack, dinner or after-work happy hour. Classic or creative taco options for mom and pop or pop-stars looking to impress with their delish Insta pix. Korean BBQ Beef,Bacon Cheeseburger, and Buffalo Chicken tacos were inspired and will keep me coming back for more. The mocktail that riffed on Pina Colada is a most refreshing treat. Server was very accommodating and thoughtful. Gluten or dairy free and vegetarian requirements easily accommodated. Free street parking available within a block or three in a neighborhood that is very walkable, with delightful boutiques and street art, and feels safe day or night. Ask about spice levels as there are a few surprises (refried beans were muy caliente) with heat levels not marked on menu.

Origins Unity LLC

Great cafe in belltown! Organic and super clean ingredients. The owner was very nice and helped me order for dairy free. They have many gluten free and vegan out also do halal meat. Service was excellent and the atmosphere very comfortable. Plenty of seating and a good array of healthy options on the menu. Plenty of street parking and easy walk from public transit. Bathrooms available.

Ash

Highly recommended place to eat when visiting Seattle. Plenty of Gluten Free options on the menu for anyone with coeliac disease. They have a seperate fryer and preparation area too. The GF burger buns were amazing. Thanks for lunch!

Granger

This is the best place in the Seattle surrounding area to go for fish and chips, especially if you need to eat gluten-free! Always amazing!

Katherine Looney

Absolutely fantastic. Very gluten friendly, lots of gluten free options and gf pita is even available and the flavors don't suffer for it. Wonderfully accommodating staff. If you get the grill for 2-3 with friends you will have plenty of food and probably still take some home. Fantastically filling. Most Seattle restaurants aren't worth the prices they charge, but this was the first one I've been to in a minute that was really worth paying for both the food and experience. Will be back.

Jules Chapman Sin

Dia de Los Muertos themed Mexican restaurant in Fremont that had vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free options and a great bar! They also have choices of outdoor seating.

Maytrelli Segovia

Loved this place given they have lots of dairy free and gluten free options!! I really enjoyed being able to make my own pizza and not worry about food allergies / restrictions! Will be back next time I’m in town!!

Sievers

We were a little worried when the menu constantly mentions "organic" and "gluten-free"... Some places like that can be pretentious and the food is often disappointing... That wasn't the case here! The menu isn't smothered in meat, but they still offer plenty of options. Very tasty breakfast, although my boyfriend's egg still had very runny whites - but he didn't mind. The only thing was I wish the server mentioned the berry bar to us. We didn't notice it until we were leaving but apparently there's a berry bar with fresh fruit and cream to make yourself a little parfait kind of thing? I'm not sure because we didn't know it was there, but there's a sign that says "one visit to the berry bar per entree." The food was good enough that we will be back. And that berry bar is going to get some action next time!

Seamus Reilly

Awesome gluten-free pizza!

Stephanie Brown

Great gf options! Would come back

Melina Moore

This is my go-to restaurant whenever I'm on Queen Anne. The owners are so kind and funny, and the employees seem to really enjoy working there. As a former server and manager of a restaurant, this matters so much. I got the spicy green juice, loved it. The French lentil bowl with a poached egg, incredible. And split the gluten free cinnamon roll with a friend, be still my heart. Literally everything is delicious and you leave feeling light and glowy from the good vibes of the food, atmosphere, and sense of community.

Zoe Rohaly

You have to try this place! The atmosphere was intimate but energetic, and the staff was phenomenal. It was a little on the pricier side, but the gluten free pasta options were great and if you saved room for dessert, we HIGHLY recommend getting the affogato! Will be coming back.🙂

S M

The food was very good. Plenty of veggie and gluten free options as well as meat. We tried dolmas, salad, veggie and lamb burgers and harrisa vegetables. They were all pretty good and tasty although I would like a bit more spice or taste on the dolmas. The service was pretty good too. Nice casual place with reasonable pricing. I did not like that there were open messy boxes inside the restaurant. The washroom cleanliness could also improve. Overall, this is a place we liked and recommend and would like to go back to.

Aruna Srivastava

Such a gem! We celebrated our friends birthday here and the staff was so generous and kind. The food was delicious and atmosphere was lovely. A really special spot that even non-vegans will love. Mango sticky rice and mango salad were especially delicious. Tom Kha was delicious as well. Accommodating for gluten allergies.

Dave Ross

Great little burger joint. Burgers we're very good and not greasy. Nice variety of burgers, homemade buns and gluten free options if needed or desired. My wife and I went with our daughter's family and young granddaughters and they all loved the food too. Great shoestring type fries also.

Jessica Probasco

Gluten free friendly pizza was decent. Needed some more sauce and toppings.

Danny S

plenty of gf options clearly marked on the menu. wait staff will bring out tamari once you let them know you're celiac

Timothy Leo

Phenomenal gluten free bread (a full baguette, not the usual extremely-tiny-sliced-bread). The Gooch sandwich was delish

Traci Reuter

Had a wonderful meal here while in Seattle for business. Needed to take clients somewhere nice but also safe for me to eat with Celiac. Menu was clearly marked Gluten Free and both hostess and wait staff made extra notes that I had celiac. There is a decent amount of gluten free options to enjoy and not be left feeling like there’s only one or two things on the menu you can order. Had zero issues after eating and 12 hours later still feeling good. Atmosphere was awesome, oysters were fresh and amazing and the Scallops and Prawns were flavorful and delicious. Great meal and great night out.

Hales Emerson

A few things: 1) loved the affirming environment and good vibes. Happy pride! 2) the wait for food was SIGNIFICANTLY longer than what we were told/what the sign said upon arrival. We even ordered ahead. Instead of 30 mins, it took over an hour to get our food. It was good, but not good enough to take that amount of time to make... 3) the small amount of seating outside consisted of rickety little chairs and tables, which are great for smaller folks, but not inclusive for bigger folks, or those with disabilities. This was disappointing. 4) the gluten free biscuit my partner got was like a dense, starchy, hockey puck. Do not recommend. I think there are definitely some improvements that could be made to this restaurant's operations.

Olivia Walliser

I was in Seattle for a conference and came to Tidal twice because it was so good. The oysters, fish and chips, cocktails, and even desserts were phenomenal. Clearly, because I had to come back for their weekend breakfast (not pictured because I ate it so quickly). A special thank you to Veasita, George, and Manty (I apologize if I misspelled names). They were so helpful, personable, and charming. Next time I am in Seattle I will be back for happy hour! I only wish I didn’t leave before the shuck and sip class, I would have been the first to sign up. Note: AMAZING gluten free options here!

Cat Corbin

Really annoying that I know you have gluten free buns but when ordering for delivery, they aren't an option.
