Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Sarasota

Jane Pimentel

The best fish and chips.

Deborah “Debbie” Schultz

The menu mentions asking about gluten-free options, so I asked what was gluten-free. The answer, “everything”. They have gluten-free toast, French toast, and waffles! They also have sugar-free syrup! Having a wheat allergy and being diabetic usually means I have to be very selective. I was amazed at how accommodating this restaurant is. The food was amazing and Phillip was an excellent server!

Chris Jett

Definitely not celiac friendly! You can smell the baked pizza in the air. Yeah nope! How can anybody rate these places as gluten-free friendly. Seriously, just walking in and being there for 5 minutes, my son and I both were symptomatic, and we didn't even eat or drink anything

Angel Portalatin

Great place, food is delicious 🤤 gluten free & vegan. Every time we are in Sarasota that’s our HAPPY 😃 PLACE. Our servers Andrey and Matt were great explaining the menu and advise us options. This was the weekend of Saturday May 3rd - Monday May 5th, 2025.

Colby Troyer

This place exceeded expectations. Excellent food, drinks and service. We started with raw clams and spicy margaritas and then had two pasta dishes for entrees. My partner is gluten free and they offer gluten free pasta which was great! Everything tasted and was presented beautifully. Serving sizes were very generous - I took at least half my entree home! Our server was friendly, professional and quick. We will be back!

Christina Harrold

Picked up my 2 large pizzas, 1 gluten free pizza and a Greek salad one hour prior to closing- the Greek salad was bland and non of the ingredients were chopped- the gluten free pizza was probably the best GF pizza I’ve ever had. My family said the regular pizzas were good. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a good pizzas place.

julia bernadsky

Amazing place! I am vegan and gluten free this place offers everything you can imagine and more! Vegan food is beyond good. I don’t even know how they create such a delicious food! Thank you Ka Pappa! Highly recommend it and I am definitely coming back 🌱

Lindsay Johnson

They have an excellent happy hour! Also the most delicious homemade gluten free pita. The tzatziki dip is the best I've ever had and saganaki is a childhood favorite. Highly recommend this location.

Madelyn Blakewell

obsessed. so good. super classy and cute and homemade pasta was insane. definitely coming back. great vegan and gluten free options as well!

Karin D

My first time here. The perfect choice and a great evening. The food was delicious. I’m celiac as well as having a dairy allergy. My waitress Julia couldn’t have been more accommodating. She made sure my meal was perfect. Very friendly and professional. Top notch service! Brian the manager was excellent. He too made sure I had the best service as well as making me feel like family while there. I was celebrating my birthday and he went out of his way to make the evening a great one for me. Great restaurant and great staff. Highly recommended :)

Spencer Hehl

Good food, good prices, well maintained, great staff/service, excellent gluten free options/support.

Jordan is an amazing bartender!! The gluten free pizza is really great too! Definitely recommend

Corene Vaillancourt

Most gluten free options on a delicious menu than we've seen in a long time. Gluten free CRAB CAKES!!! Who makes those?! This place does and they are excellent! The Gluten free pans Cotta dessert was one of the best gf desserts I've ever had. Service was wonderful and the atmosphere & decor are top notch. If you are looking for a very special restaurant...you've found it!

Justin Oliva

GLUTEN FREE SAFE!! First off, I never write online reviews but I feel compelled to do so with Stiks. This restaurant has quickly become one of our favorite spots to eat at in Sarasota. The food is always made fresh (and fast), everyone is always SUPER friendly and the place is decorated with a very chill vibe and ALWAYS kept clean. Both my wife and daughter have Celiac disease and cannot tolerate any cross contamination. I'm here to tell others with the same disease that this place is very safe for you to eat at. They've never been cross contaminated here and we always enjoy the food. This place IMO is a hidden gem in Sarasota and especially for those that wish they can eat this kind of food but fear cross contamination. I highly recommend you give it a try, you won't regret it!

Jim Gentsch

Outstanding Mountain omelette! Solid gluten-free options. Also the smoked salmon Benedict was spectacular!! Great spot for breakfast food.

Robert Lindsey

Had a wonderful family dinner. Great unique dinners that are not at other restaurants. Very accommodative for gluten free selecvisit. Wonderful waitress, Sam. Price was great. Well worth the vusit.

alison stripling

As much as I love Culver's, recently I've been having a major problem as I have to be gluten-free. They forgot about half of my order like the toppings I've ordered and then they forget the condiments. Their food is delicious though that's why I keep going back

Paula Pereira

Great place to eat! I can always count on Bonefish Grill when I'm hungry and need something tasty and filling. I'm gluten free and they have a dedicated menu for us GF peeps. Servers are always friendly and attentive. I always get the sirloin and shrimp with the garlic potatoes. Make sure to try the chimmichurri, it's wonderful with the steak and shrimp! Everyone in my family gets the same thing because it's so tasty. And yes, it's on the gluten free menu. There's also gluten free desserts, there are two you can enjoy: The Macadamia Nut Brownie and the Creme Brûlée. Great atmosphere, service, consistently great food, dietary restriction friendly... What's not to love? This place is a staple for my household.

Kevin Amick

Great place to stop when heading home from Venice. Always a great meal and Gluten free bun option.

Shanna Stevenson (Savvy Snickerdoodle)

Always an amazing food experience. Lots of gluten free options and very accommodating. Their Alfredo sauce is the best I have ever had. So Good.

Tracy Rose

Mckenna was our server and she was amazing! My burger was delish and the gluten free bun wasn’t bad. I sat outside. I likely would t have wanted to eat inside as very loud and cold. I’ll be back for the steak!

Tina B

We had a wonderful time here today for lunch. Loved the menu selections, something for every appetite. The gluten free bread is a quality brand and goes well with a sandwich. The portion sizes are just right for the pricing. We were seated right away and had great service from multiple team members throughout our lunch. The manager Jay, comes right up to your table and says hi, which I love, a nice personal touch which makes you feel welcomed and not rushed. This place is busy! I loved seeing how much fun the staff was having while giving great service. Next time we will sit outside on the water side, it looks beautiful. Definitely a great spot to meet up with friends and family! P.s. the mimosas are fantastic!

Jerry Cisar

My wife and I love Thai food and have been to a ton of Thai restaurants. Living in St. Petersburg, we hadn't tried Isan previously. We will certainly find reasons to drive here again. Outstanding. Also, the menu has clearly marked what is or is not gluten free. Try the Thai Papaya salad. Excellent! Service was outstanding also.

We absolutely loved our experience at Kojo Sarasota, hands down the best sushi in town! Beautiful salon, bar and high tables as well, gets very crowded but still feels spacious enough. The food was outstanding!! Every dish was packed with great flavors and well prepared. You can truly taste the freshness of the ingredients in every bite, which makes the whole experience even better. Great menu, The sushi rolls were outstanding, and the seaweed crunchy taco was such a fun and delicious surprise. We also tried the greens and Brussels sprouts, and they were incredible too, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. The cocktails were top-notch, crafted with high quality products and creativity. On top of that, the service was excellent — everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. The atmosphere is elegant and classy, with a beautiful design that makes it perfect for a special night out. We celebrated a birthday, and Kojo made it unforgettable with a complementary dessert and some bubbly, a thoughtful and classy touch! They also offer a separate gluten-free menu, which is a huge plus. Overall, we had an awesome time, a very unique experience and can’t wait to come back and try other delicious dishes. 5 stars for this great restaurant. Truly the best sushi experience in Sarasota!

Mary Blase

We visited for the first on Mother's Day for lunch. It was not very crowded. The atmosphere and decor were casual. Everything was clean. The server was friendly and efficient. The food was amazing! I had the chicken pesto sandwich, which was a generous size, moist and flavorful. Gluten free buns were available! We sampled some appetizers. The Brussels sprouts were so good, as were the hush puppies, pretzels and house made beer cheese dip. I was impressed at the quality standards. Grassfed beef, sustainably sourced seafood, organic produce and even biodegradable cutlery. And, to top it off, they gave me a complimentary brownie a'la mode with strawberries!! We WILL be back!

Robert Ivins

Amazing food, staff, and atmosphere. The restaurant was very accommodating to my wife’s Gluten allergy. The smoked chicken was so moist and Gluten free with savory sides to match. It is very difficult to find a restaurant that produces true Gluten free with such amazing quality and taste, yet we have found the diamond in the rough with Yoders!. They even offer a multitude of pies both gluten free and traditional. I have never had a better pie in my life. The answer is yes this should be your next meal!

Matt Donovan

Super great product & Staff, With FushiPoke i know all will be well w/ my gluten-free needs (not just preference.) Creative, clean casual atmosphere. My go to is the no-protein bowl with white rice, daikon, ginger, guac, edamame and housemade spicy mayo, gf spicy soy is a treat any time of day. I've had it many times for lunch or dinner. Leilani, Kennedy, Arlo, Moses, Christian & other professional/accomodating/friendly staff (i forgot names right now) make sure your bowl is stellar everytime!

Their biscuits are out of this world, the best in town! They have regular or gluten free sweet potato biscuits they are both 10/10. Their biscuits and gravy and baked eggs are fantastic! There’s always very yummy pastries and treats in their display case as well. Not crazy about their drinks but the food will knock your socks off.

UPDATE 1/3/25: Ate here 8 times in 5 days. Still amazing. Additional recommendations, ribeye (size and taste align with the price), coconut shrimp and calamari REVIEW 12/29/23 5 stars are few, BUT triple tail deserves it! Back Story: I was craving a grilled chicken sandwich with a gluten free bun and my brain and stomach said “no other option it HAS to be that”. After calling 5 restaurants, being prompted to go online, unable to speak to a real person, or gluten free buns being unavailable it was the restaurant who specializes in seafood who: -Answered the phone -Had the most pleasant and professional young lady take my order -Accommodated all my requests (I’m extra and ask to add or remove a lot of things, I am a Karen after all) -Meal was executed perfectly -Atmosphere and restaurant interior is beautiful and cozy -Quality far exceeded the cost Recommendation - Grilled chicken sandwich on gluten free bun, with fries. Side of honey mustard (for fries) Sweet chili sauce (for the chicken sandwich). Chicken was juicy, GF bun was fluffy No pictures included #ToHungryToTakeaPic ✅ Karen Approved!

jon oliverio

Gluten free options, separate fryer for the fries!!!! Fries and sweet potaro fries are so good the staff are helpful and sweet. Tastey! Happy hour 3 to 5 and thats on most days. Applies to beer and wine only i believe

Mike Oliver

Was there in mid December 2024, sat outside, waiter was great, had burgers (I am GF, had the swiss mushroom on GF bread, no issue, but I am not celiac), burgere were exceptionally good. Espresso Martini also very good. Will be back!

Dave Walker

Classic New York Jewish deli, food, and more. Good gluten-free options available. Pastrami was a little greasy, but had great Smoky flavor. If you like deli pickles, be sure to order - they're good, and they were only .10 for two.

Rachel Isabella

Amazing Thai food!! Got fresh rolls and chicken pad Thai. Always love having delicious gluten free food! Thanks!

Amy B

They sell fresh baked goods. Wonderful and flavorful salads. The gluten free pizza is delicious

Alexandra Archer

The blueberry streusel gluten free keto doughnut was shockingly good. Hard to believe really. My husband had a breakfast sandwich that was also great. Atmosphere inside was calm and exactly what we wanted.

Carrie Dunn

We had Damian as our server, and he was so much fun! They were pretty busy, and I only noticed 2 people taking care of all the tables. Damian, let us give our whole order. He didn't have his notepad as he was only planning on our drink orders. However, he memorized our order, and the order came out exactly as it was given. It wasn't the easiest order, either. My husband and I both got crepes, with mine being a gluten-free crepe. The food and service were great. It's too bad we don't live closer, because this would be a new favorite.

Dory Rohrs

Delicious and cozy. Really friendly staff. My kid and I sat at the bar. Great playlist. Loved the vibe. The Sunnyside burger was huge! They made it gluten free for my kid - hence the toast instead of a bun. She said it’s the best burger she’s had in years! She finished it! And the homemade fries lol! I had the Sunnyside salad. Swapped kale for arugula and I am 💯 percent returning for this zesty, fresh salad! The roasted chickpeas and avocado in lemon are a culinary experience.

Kim Connolly

The fish here is so fresh and delicious and they have very generous portions. The server was knowledgeable about allergies and was able to put together a blackened hogfish plate without gluten. My nephew got an ahi tuna sandwich and it was a huge portion of tuna for the price. Very tasty place for a quick bite.

Kate Hazel

AMAZING!! The food was incredible! Flavorful and cooked to perfection. The bakery offered several items including a few gluten free options. Their seasonal menu had a variety of items including apple cider mimosas! Service was superior. Watched a server help an elderly regular customer as though they were family. Very glad we made the decision to stop here today. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Katie Bronge

Our waiter Andrei was amazing! I have celiac and he made sure everything was gluten free. It was the best gluten free pasta and pizza I’ve had! 5 stars!

Mo Bu

This place has a Mediterranean feel and also interior decoration is very Turkey or Greece like .. It is run by 2 turkish ladies who are very friendly and like to engage with the customers. I ordered roasted beef (turkish style) with rice and salad. The rice had orzo in it and the whole dish was very flavorful and tasty. All for $14.95!!!!!!! Turkish coffee with homemade baklava was delicious as well. I saw they were also selling turkish beach towels as well and some candles, lotions and soaps. They offer vegetarian and gluten free food as well. Overall this place is great for someone who prefers to eat healthy and authentic Mediterranean food.

Taylor Keefe

Love this place! Stumbled upon it during my vacation and could not be happier. Great for my gluten free/vegan people. Doesn’t taste like artificial sugars/sweetener; it’s very natural and filling!

Abriel Mauerman

Not too many gluten free options, but they're good and tasty, and they will cook some things to accommodate. They had GF creme brulee as well, which was nice.

jacqueline bates

Ren, our server excellent. For is always good. We come with another couple several times during our yearly visit. I have celiac. I appreciate the selections I have, kale salad, filet mignon, but sadly No dessert. 😢

Lynn Coe

In a town with a lot of great breakfast options this is one of my favorites. Super fresh, gluten free options, great omelettes and the hash brown casserole is amazing. All the staff is really nice. Angie waited on us today and she was lovely. Checked on us often but not too much! She made sure we had lots of ice tea and everything else we needed. We’ve never been disappointed at this cafe!

Jackie Engel

Amber did an excellent job as our server. The food was very good. Lots of gluten free options.

Audrey Ziegler

We’ve visited Jack Dusty at The Ritz-Carlton multiple times and have generally loved our experiences. Our recent dinner in early May was no exception in terms of ambiance — the setting was beautiful and perfect for a relaxing evening. The service was attentive and friendly, which we always appreciate. However, we did notice a dip in the food quality compared to previous visits. It seemed like the kitchen might have been in between seasons or adjusting their menu, which could explain the inconsistency. Additionally, we were disappointed to find no gluten-free/vegetarian options available. In today’s culinary landscape, offering gluten-free choices is quite straightforward for chefs, so it was a bit surprising that this wasn’t accommodated. Overall, still a lovely spot with great service and ambiance, but we hope to see a return to the high standards of food quality and more inclusive menu choices on our next visit.

Nicole Renee Consulting

If you haven’t been to Florence & The Spice Boys at The Landings since Chef Michelle Wolforth has been at the helm, this has to be your next dining destination! Every item on Chef Michelle’s menu is a true gastronomic experience. Each dish is thoughtfully designed and beautifully presented. The harissa roasted carrots, perfectly cooked octopus, and curry mussels were absolutely extraordinary!! The gluten-free pita was also outstanding! This elevated culinary experience was complimented by a wonderful staff in an aesthetically beautiful interior. The food, the service, and the vibe are unsurpassed. Thank you, Chef Michelle!!

Lisa Preuett

We were very pleased with this little cozy cafe located at St Armond in Sarasota. The manager and our server were extremely helpful and friendly. We had a couple of food allergies to navigate and they took great care of us! The service was very quick and our food was delicious. The portions were much larger than we expected. Highly recommend this place for breakfast AND lunch. It was nice that they have gluten free bread available.
