This place is amazing for celiac or gluten allergy. They have gluten-free vegan batter that is cooked in a separate area. I had the Pizza crepe ans the honey bunny both amazingly delicious. The owner was very nice and helpful. Definitely coming back!
My 7 year old daughter is a celiac. She had the glutenfree waffles and fried chicken. She really enjoyed the waffles but the chicken was a little bit to spicy for her.
I had the glutenfree seafood Po boy and it was really delicious.
Another day we tried the glutenfree version of a Beignet a Calas. It was not really like the „real“ Beignets but it was a good an nice option to have something sweet for her.
We went here specifically for gluten free food. The owner was there and super friendly. We ordered gluten free fried green tomatoes, shrimp, crayfish, catfish, pickles, and fries. The coating/breading was light and airy.
We were the only ones in the restaurant. It was a little awkward, quiet, and dark.
Not my first time & definitely won't be my last. This time we went because they have started a Saturday "Bottoms Up Brunch", which is the same great food & drinks with the added bonus of one of New Orleans' best burlesque performers, Bella Blue, doing a pole/burlesque performance throughout the restaurant. It was an absolute blast and something very unique. I had the bloody Maria with mezcal - the best Tajin rim I've ever tasted. Apparently the chef's get the chamoy from the same Mexican outdoor market in Texas whenever they're traveling through and it's insanely good. My friend got one of the mocktails and it was also very good. Refreshing with great layers of flavor rarely found in an N/A option.
And on to the next level of how Palm & Pine always gets it right. Between the two of us we have some pretty restrictive dietary needs. I choose a veggie heavy pescatarian diet. My friend has an autoimmune disease that flares up from a long list of things, the two worst being dairy & gluten. Next time you go to a restaurant see if you can find something to eat that doesn't have dairy, gluten, or meat in it...especially in New Orleans...go ahead...I'll wait...no I won't! I'll starve before you find me something. They have quite a few delicious vegetarian & seafood options but no dairy & no gluten together is tough. Our server happened to be the manager, Monica. Not only did she check multiple times with the chef for ingredients but the kitchen was able to swap out a side on her entree to get her something she loved and worked with her restrictions, all while being extremely kind and lovely about it all. All of this with what is supposed to be a pre-fixe menu, which they absolutely didn't have to do. I couldn't tell you the number of times my friend has be told elsewhere "no we can't change anything" and she'll just pick around it or leave off half the items in the dish, which she's used to doing and offered multiple times to do to not make it a hassle for the kitchen. The folks at Palm & Pine just took it in stride and went above and beyond expectations.
Top notch in all categories. Wish I had taken pics but was too busy enjoying the food, drinks, & people.
The food was great the drink selection was small but everything in the menu that we got was awesome. Wonderful gluten free options and helpful staff to ensure a good experience.
