Top 50 Gluten-Free Restaurants Across New Orleans

great place to go if you are celiac! Tons of options and you get delicious spoon bread while you wait for your food.

My 7 year old daughter is a celiac. It’s not so easy to find glutenfree food for a celiac kid. Bit we were happy to find this place: my daughter took the glutenfree fried chicken with glutenfree waffles. She really liked the waffles also the chicken but it was a little bit to spicy for her. I took a glutenfree seafood Po boy and really enjoyed it. Even though I‘m not celiac the Po boy was delicious

This was my first time visiting this establishment, and I have to say my experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The service was warm and attentive, and the food? Simply amazing. Every dish had such bold, unique flavors, and I really appreciated the wide variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options on the menu. I ordered the Crab Scramble with vegan eggs, which was packed with flavor. I also got a side of the bison sausage it was my first time trying bison. While I personally prefer chicken or seafood over red meat, the sausage was still well-seasoned and tasty, with subtle notes of onion and bell pepper (not sure if that was intentional, but it worked!). My mom ordered the Shrimp and Grits, and I got to try a bite and wow. It was a flavor explosion. I've never tasted anything quite like it before rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. We all shared the Bananas Foster Pancakes, which were sweet but not overpowering, with a unique flavor that really stood out. I also tried their Iced Matcha Latte delicious and classic in taste. If you're looking for a traditional, less-sweet matcha, this is the one for you. My cousin ordered the Cat Daddy Biscuit, and once again great flavors, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was on point. My aunt went with the Bearcat Breakfast, a more traditional option, but she swapped in the bison sausage, and it paired beautifully with the eggs and potatoes. The only downside? Parking can be a bit tricky, and there might be a wait ours was about an hour. But trust me, it’s absolutely worth it. Next time I'm in New Orleans, I’ll be back without a doubt!

I was hoping for a good meal away from the French Quarter, but we got so much more. The entrees were SOOO good, they truly took us by surprise. I’ll remember the chicken and the shrimp dishes for a while. I rarely order dessert, but after an entree that good, I needed to see what dessert offered. The Salted Peanut Pie was delicious. Only thing of mention was about the lack of gluten free dessert options - typical ice cream and sorbet offering.

Caroline Trettin

I ordered the Vegan Lover Pizza, which I’ve gotten several times before, only to have a different employee tell me that it’s not actually vegan unless you order it with the gluten-free crust??? Wildly misleading! Apparently, the regular crust has butter in it. I am so thankful that other employee let me know. Sad and deceived.

Upon returning from the swamp to where we were all hungry, so we had the bus drop us off on canal street. We dined at Olde Nola Cookery a family-owned gem nestled right on Bourbon Street in the heart of the French Quarter. Its motto—“Cooked by Locals, Spiced with History”—captures the spirit of the place perfectly, they also accommodate gluten-free which is an added bonus! The menu is a celebration of classic New Orleans fare: think Cajun and Creole staples and their much-loved gator bites. Seafood is a standout there, we had dishes like blackened alligator salad, gluten free crab cakes, tender half rack pork ribs and shrimp po’boys. They also offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, which is a thoughtful touch for a city not always known for dietary flexibility. The atmosphere is quintessentially French Quarter—colorful, a little rowdy, and full of character. With three dining rooms and a balcony overlooking Bourbon Street, it’s a great spot for people-watching or soaking in the sounds of the city while enjoying a meal If you’re ever in the mood for a meal that feels like a love letter to New Orleans—bold, soulful, and just a little indulgent—Olde Nola Cookery might be your spot.

There aren’t many gluten free options. It’s kinda our fault since we thought a seafood restaurant would have more fish options that weren’t shellfish. The service was great and welcoming. It was really really loud inside though there were few people dining at the time. It was $20 for a standard burger with a bag of chips. I kinda think that it was overpriced.

Laura Foster

I am gluten free but the others with me were not. The charbroiled and raw oysters are amazing! And they're gluten-free except you have to ask for bread on the side. I probably did not order the right thing, but I had the grillled shrimp which were meh and the fries that were nice. for gluten full people, the beignets were a hit and also the gumbo and bisque

Becca Chapman

best gf fried chicken and fries ever! and wonderful cocktails 😁 I have celiac and I am always safe here

Erin Carriel

We wanted Fabulous local food and Sylvain’s did not disappoint! We had the Pappardelle Bolognese and Striped Bass which were both delicious, we also had the Fried Cauliflower which was a wonderful surprise!! Our server Chris was knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. They were able to accommodate my gluten free restrictions, including dessert…a coconut crème brûlée! The ambiance was intimate and beautiful, we loved everything about this restaurant and highly recommend it!

Rhys James

The gluten free menu was great and had plenty of options. I had seen there used to be gluten free gumbo however there isn’t anymore. I had jumbalaya instead which was okay, but slightly bland. It’s also quite noisy inside and the AC was on high so it was cold. I think the outside patio looked lovely and would recommend sitting out there. Otherwise service was fine and lots of good food options.

Maxwell Reitman

Excellent food, the fish and grits was perfect and the maduros really elevated the dish. Finding a place down here with a nearly fully gluten free menu can be tricky, but Besame's careful menu planning makes it so your celiac friends don't have to choose between deliciousness and safety.

Sydney Bonner

We went here for dinner during a bachelorette and it was lovely!! It was a great location- close to anything we wanted to do. It has options for your gluten free, vegan, or vegetarian friends as well. Tyrique was a great server. The team responsible for interior design did amazing!! It is such a cute restaurant. 🤩 The wine was a great price as well. Highly recommend the moscato. Favorite appetizers on menu: truffle fries and cheese dip!

David Gaunt

Really good food, carter's well for gluten intolerant

Tonya Pugh

I did not have a good experience. I clearly stated that I have Celiac disease and that I’m allergic to gluten. The waiter pointed out GF options for me. When I ordered I double checked that my choice was indeed GF. He confirmed. The food came out and smelled delicious. I took one bite and knew I was in trouble. I brought my concerns to his attention and then he said oops sorry that isn’t GF. Can I get you something else? He tried to make up for it by brining out a GF dessert on the house. As soon as I seen it I knew it wasn’t safe and didn’t touch it. To the waiters credit he was overheard talking to the chef about it and told Chef that I had celiac.

We waited 40mn for a table for a late dinner. The person at the reception wasnt the friendliest but we were hungry. BIG SHOUT-OUT to Paul on the merch side to be kind enough to talk to us while we waited! We finally got a table and ended up waiting 15/20 mn to get a server. Wasnt too thrilled about that. Server was nice and informative on food allergies though. They have a gluten free menu available, but the seasoned fries weren't gluten free, needs updated. We got a burger and a pulled pork sandwich with green beans sub for fries. Overall wasnt impressed with the food specially for the price. Manager came to check on us and we ended up talking about music and tattoos! Memorabilia was interesting on the walls.

Jaime Fancher

Yum! Went here twice on our vacation, so good! Gluten free waffles were perfect. Customer service was excellent!

I go for the Gluten free blueberry drops. Wish there were more flavor options and they weren't quite as sweet but the blueberry is pretty tasty.

Jake Bowers

If you've recently lost a loved one (egg, milk, gluten) then this is the place you need to try. They work magic. I don't know how they make brioche or pastry cream without eggs or dairy but they did it excellently.

I cannot have gluten or seed oils due to severe allergies, and this restaurant was very accommodating with their steak and working with me on sides because it's very difficult to eat out sometimes. The New York strip was cooked. Absolutely perfectly service was fantastic and the restaurant was very clean.

Matt Turner

Outstanding vegan and gluten free options. You MUST try a king cake and the hot breakfasts!

Aleksei Moniz Mirov

The food was very tasty with good sized portions -- I had the cheese enchiladas and my partner had the street tacos in jerk chicken and adobo. The jerk chicken was incredible. The music was super loud, which I wasn't a fan of, and the servers were laid back, which I don't mind but some people don't like. There were a lot of drink specials and an abundance of vegetarian options on the menu, and eating gluten free was very easy. We'll definitely be back.

Haley Andrews

10/10 !!! Amazing options for vegans and gluten free. The flavors are beautiful

Tori Emrie

A hidden gem on Royal Street. The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond to make my birthday celebration special. The food was sublime. They were so accommodating with my gluten allergy and presented me with a cotton candy birthday dessert. If you’re in New Orleans you must dine here, it’s a truly magnificent experience.

This is one of my favorite restaurants as a celiac! The only thing I miss out on is the bread. Fries are safe and delicious. Everything else is amazing too

Maggie and Quinn

Bywater Bakery made the cakes for our wedding, and they were outstanding. We had a traditional Chantilly cake and a chocolate Chantilly cake with strawberries, both of which were delicious. The owner, Chaya, sat with us herself to design the cake and made us feel right at home in the bakery. They also made sure to add gluten free and vegan cupcakes for our guests with dietary restrictions. If you're looking for an amazing cake and want to support a great local business, definitely go to Bywater.

This is a great spot for some healthy options. We got the Mexicali salad and Orbit Bowl—both were delicious, fresh, and packed with nutritious ingredients. The golden smoothie was really good, with a perfectly balanced flavor. They had plenty of options if you are vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for those with dietary restrictions or anyone looking for a wholesome meal.

In New Orleans during an historic snow storm today and everywhere within walking distance of our Airbnb was closed, except this little gem of a diner serving delicious breakfasts and sandwiches, with vegetarian and gluten free options should one wish. Really good food and absolutely delightful staff. Definitely worth a visit anytime, but especially appreciated on this rare wild snowy day. Thank you for being open!

Great deal for the Quarter. Gluten free safe!

Alana G.

they have an amazing vegan tofu breakfast scramble!! and gluten free bread options (: (the bread did have egg)

Kyla

Amazing food, great service. My family do from hong kong, and I found the food to be more traditional than most typical Chinese restaurants. We sat at the bar and had excellent service, Charlie the bartender is awesome. Miss Shirley has always been on site, and seems to really take the time to talk to all her customers. Well worth the wait for a table and plenty of places nearby to grab a drink while you wait. My partner has Celiac disease and there are many GF options and the fryer is even safe. We will definitely be back.

Annelise

This place is entirely underrated. It can be hard to get quick meals with my allergies and values regarding food. This Green Fork was perfect. The ingredients in the smoothies, juice, and prepped meals were obviously fresh and high quality. No unnecessary fillers, preservatives, or refined sugar. I got the butternut squash chili and ate it with some chips. It was very filling and comforting. I also tried the kindness smoothie, and I got a few other soups and juices. This is real, safe food that makes me feel good. I normally just have to eat at home. Try them if you're gluten or soy-free.

It's our first visit to New Orleans and we chose this place for dinner and we had an excellent experience. The food was incredible, super tasty and fresh. And the great thing is that they have several gluten free options. The dessert was 💯 cheesecake and cream brulee

Incredible dining experience to end our Southern Trip with gluten free options, our host was super friendly with the cutest strawberry nails 😍. Every dish was phenomenal, I loved being able to experience all the Traditional Southern Dishes in a beautiful setting. The kitchen was amazing as we wanted to share a few dishes to try everything they even portioned out the entree for us on 2 plates to make the experience enjoyable. We had the fried oysters, fried green tomatoes, gumbo, blue crab ravioli, shrimp and grits and the bread service with honey butter was also so good! For Dessert we had the blue cheese flan and Tres Leches Pudding 😍 Their Shrubs and Soda was amazing too. We would definitely be back if we travel this way. Highly recommended. Book a table as the restaurant was filled!

We stopped here for breakfast. Then, we chose to try their Beigntes. They came 4 on the plate. And although there is a more famous place on New Orleans that makes them we tried both. Both my wife and I feel this place makes the best Beigntes so far. Properly made dough and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend them. Now digging into my Boudin omelet and her bourbon street breakfast. The Boudin omelet is great. It is light and fluffy. The hashbrowns are freshly grated and not over processed. My wife's pancakes are crazy good. I try to stay away from gluten, but I would eat these cakes and deal with the side effects without complaining. Hell yes, I drank the Boubon at 9:15am. No, I do not have a drinking problem. Bourbon while having some spice was smooth. If you are on New Orleans, put Cafe Fleur De Lis on your list to have for breakfast. Love it and will be back next time we are in New Orleans. It's really good.

Kris Rose

I LOVE this restaurant! 😋 Most delicious gluten free fried catfish I've ever had. Cheese grits on point. Praline bacon 🥓 was divine. Service was impeccable. The restaurant has the perfect NOLA atmosphere and there's lots of cute things to walk to after your meal. I went there twice in two days because I loved it so much. In fact, I smuggled my leftover catfish back on the airplane ✈️ home because it was too good to waste! I will be back anytime I'm in New Orleans, bet.
