Top 16 Gluten-Free Seafood Spots to Discover in Boston

Meri Slaughter

I love this North End staple. They make a small selection of dairy and gluten free items daily - a coffee cake, chocolate chip cookie, and whoopie pie. Like everything else, they are available until they sell out. The coffee cake is my favorite! The cookie is not the best in town, but still good and I appreciate having the option. The whoopie pie is best eaten fresh. I appreciate this long-time establishment having some options for those with food allergies.

We made a reservation for Sunday night before a show. Reserving online was easy and I noted a gluten free menu was needed. Day of, the hostess picked up immediately when I called to say we were running a few minutes late. We came in and were seated immediately - with one GF menu in hand. Waters were filled, and a server brought a basket off pop overs. Noting the GF menu, she came back with GF breadrolls for my mom. Waiter was nice, helped my mom choose wine. She got the lobster risotto and I had the fresh tortellini. Food was fast, tasty, and delicious. We were given fresh macaroons with our bill, and the server brought my mom a couple more GF rolls for the rode. Such a great experience! Thank you!

I went here with two girlfriends and sat at the bar. We order the beans, the hummus with arugula and prosciutto and a gluten free crust pizza. All of it was spectacular. The pizza crust was a think crust - but texture and flavor were spot on! The bean dish was out of this world and the sauce was excellent. Cocktails were also good and service impeccable. Highly recommend.

Very loud and a tad over priced. Best gluten free pizza crust in the area. Most, if not all the dishes I sampled needed salt, but otherwise delicious and excellent ingredients.

I had heard a lot about Legal Sea Food and had been advised to try it out especially as they pride themselves in gluten free fish fry and have other fried items all dedicated gf . We started with the house sangrias : one red & one white . Refreshing especially on a hot and humid summer evening . Ordered the classic fish and chips prepared gluten free (no pictured) and the cod that was salt-vinegar crusted with a bed of bacon slaw , potato wedges and a lightly mustard remoulade. Delicious dish . Fish was perfectly cooked and crispy . The sauce was just right and tied it all together . Staff was a bit slow but there was a huge amount of people during peak times so they tried to keep up . I could have had more sangrias but it was a little hard to flag staff down . Not a big concern . The food was excellent ! Although I had been told no reservations were needed I was glad I made them in advanced as the place was hoping and can get a little loud . Very nice experience will be back next time in Boston

We had dinner here with my young son, who has celiac. As soon as I mentioned gluten-free/celiac, the waitress immediately listed all the options available, explained that they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, and described the procedures they follow. Most dishes could be made gluten-free, and my son chose the nachos. The service and knowledge were excellent!

Raena Woods

Great service and food. Gluten free fry mix! So nice for my son to get gf chicken tenders.

Marissa Gillis

Great place!! The service was top-notch, the inside is a bit cramped (it's the north end) and wicked hot inside but otherwise good! The real star was of course the food. Hands down amazing from the appetizer to the main course- and they accommodated all my allergies very well! I'm GF and DF, they were able to do a lot and had Vegan options too. I'm celiac, felt safe and didn't get sick. Highly recommend.

Adrian Baker

Great, quick stop on the Freedom Trail. Good lobster rolls, and they have gluten free rolls as well. Drink selection is nice with a variety of bottled sodas from a company in Maine. They also had water, Coca-Cola, and diet Coca-Cola.

Emily Aldous

Food was delicious, server was kind and very accommodating of my friend who has celiac! She even marked up the menu with all the foods that she could and couldn’t eat to make it easier for her. We both got paellas and oh my god the portion is HUGE so if you are going with another person make sure to share it btw the two of you. Great dinner spot in the city

Keith Dosik

This place is so cool! Great vibes, friendly and quick servers plus the food is fantastic. All of the gluten free options are delicious, especially the churros. It was really fun to be able to eat tacos and oysters at the same time.

Dan Weller

This place is so good and takes lobster rolls very seriously. They respected my girlfriend's gluten allergy, and that was huge. We loved it!

Nathan Jensen

Amazing gluten free options. Had several rounds of fresh oysters that were fantastic. All of their fried food is gluten free.

Kerry-Ann Parsons

Really cool place, easy to do a takeout order. Lots of parking around. I had the Gluten free fish and chips with fries. Pretty good, but not excellent. I was glad to find gluten free, dairy free and soy free in Boston.

Deyna Loera

Really pricey and their gluten free rolls are weirdly sad and gross

Naomi Schneider

Truly most amazing gluten free dining experience I’ve had since being diagnosed in may. Gluten free bread which was wonderful and in a separate bowl from the normal bread. Everything fried is gluten free so I ate the calamari which was delicious. I ordered sushi and they gave me gluten free soy sauce. Overall, they are very accommodating and will make sure you are eating safe and make you are satisfied! I highly recommend if you are in the area!

Stephanie Frankum-Lewis

This was a great restaurant with a very welcoming atmosphere for families and couples. The menu had fantastic options of fresh local seafood and gluten free options. The lobster was sweet and succulent. The roll was a masterpiece. It was a delicious simple pleasure. The brussel sprouts were a delicious addition to this meal. This is a true Boston treasure!! I hope to be back in the future.

Antonio Gutiérrez

Boston restaurant with gluten-free options. Variety of burgers and very friendly waiters. Recommended

Went here for a lunch-dinner date after a hospital appointment and got steak to celebrate some good health. It was so good! Shoutout to the dedicated gluten free menu, which was very helpful. It’s not cheap — if you order apps and mains you’ll find yourself racking up a bill. I split an app (the gf buffalo cauliflower for $16 I believe) with my boyfriend and we each got an entree and a drink and the bill was about $100 after tip. But damn was that steak good

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. Service was absolutely top notch, our server went above and beyond. I asked for cucumber for my Hendricks and tonic, he couldn’t find any so created a sad face with other garnish’s I could use for my drink. But he came through by finding me cucumber! The food, oh so good! They brought out bread for my wife, I passed because I am gluten free and then the server said they had gf bread for me and got it from the warmer. The clam chowder my wife loved. And the mains, amazing! My wife had the crab and lobster ravioli and I had scallops with potato gratin. Both fantastic! If you are visiting Boston in the area it’s a must do!

Absolutely wonderful experience from beginning to end. I was surprised to find they carried gluten free dinner rolls and were very Celiac aware. This is a fantastic experience with a great wine selection for a special night out.

I was in Boston on work with a couple of coworkers. We looked up seafood restaurant for lunch and row 34 looked good with good reviews. There were reservations for all the tables so we sat at the bar. Bartender was very attentive and discussed gluten free meal and drink options for on person in the group. I had the fish tacos and two others with me had the crab fried rice. All three dishes were fantastic! The taco's were well filled and have amazing flavors. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. We jokingly questioned whether or not they really had reservations for all the open tables but the restaurant and bar quickly filled up. From the service to food this was a fantastic find and will definitely come back.

As a celiac I typically have a difficult time finding safe food at airports. This place was absolutely amazing at handling my dietary restriction. My server reassured me that they are very aware of cross contamination and my order was marked as gluten allergy when put into the kitchen. They have a dedicated GF fryer and I was so happy to have calamari which I haven’t been able to eat since before my diagnosis. I wish I lived in Boston so I could eat here more often.

Hilary Nelson

Not many gf options… Ended up getting the mixed greens salad and the dressings aren’t gluten free so had oil and balsamic vinegar.

Chelsea Sunflower

We celebrated my mother’s birthday in the private dining room. Both the food and service were excellent. Our server Phillipe was wonderful. We’d a group of seven of us. It was lovely to be able to have a conversation with each other, without the excess noise. We’d two people with celiac and two with a shellfish allergy and everyone was accommodated. The tuna tartare I got with cucumbers to make it gluten free was phenomenal. I got the Chilean sea bass sans rice and paired with chateau mashed potatoes and wild mushrooms, they were lovely as well. I would highly recommend dining here and booking the private room for a special occasion dinner.

Erica Marinaro

Very friendly. Manager came to my table to reassure me that my food was GF. I would’ve taken a pic of my steak, but I inhaled it! Lol

Waitress was unattentive, we did not get water or condiments. Instead of asking what substitute I wanted l the waitress had it made unseasoned when there were several gluten free options listed on the menu. My husband waited 30+ minutes for her to walk by to ask for salt.

Sue Davis

Delicious, fun lunch date after the MFA. We had a mixto cerviche which was chock full of seafood & shrimp. Instead of the Baja citrus style, this had a creamy sauce. I am gluten free and they made us a batch of corn tortilla chips, otherwise the 4 sweet potato (?) chips that came with the dish would not have been enough. THE RIBS!!! OMG, I’ll return just for these! Succulent, all meat, fell off the bone. The BBQ sauce was fantastic. Chicken tacos were also tasty & had abundant filling. Great service, our waiter was so nice. However, the food took quite a while to come considering we were the only customers at 3 pm on a weekday. Parking on Newbury St is always challenging, just keep circling the area til you find something. We recommend Puro!

Heath Coxall

Elegant yet comfortable atmosphere. Attentive and friendly staff. Excellent food. Will definitely return to the Seaport location again. Dinner was lobster linguine, scallops over risotto, tequila cocktail, and a blackberry mocktail. The food was cooked to perfection and was delicious. Dessert was a flourless (gluten free) chocolate torte and peanut butter pie. Both were rich and sweet.

Living in the South End all my life, I’ve been blessed with so many unique restaurants nearby. We even have a seafood boil restaurant! Bootleg Special’s seafood boil is amazing and the garlic noodle is a must! The drinks are super fun and the vibe, NOLA speakeasy. Love it. Yesterday was the first time I stopped by for brunch and it has to be Boston’s best brunch spot! It is great for dates, girls outing, friends and family gatherings. Let’s just say it can accommodate any occasion because it’s such a fun and unique experience. I really enjoyed their brunch menu which include soufflé pancakes, bootleg Benedict, and brunch garlic noodles. They also have MANY gluten free options. I’ve also tried their newly launched menu item, the ConeNado and my favorite was the lobster clam chowder! Super fun and delicious! This is a must visit!

If the fries are made in a gluten free fryer then likely they are all gluten free. But ***Stomach definitely feels like it found some gluten a couple hours after eating though which is only uncomfortable for me but I’d triple check if you are celiac***! I can’t prove this but it’s a gut ;) feeling. Kind of a bummer if so. Had the fish and chips. Prices are comparable to the regular restaurant (29 vs 33). The waitress scooped the fries from the large bowls of fries and in my opinion could have been more generous. But the fish was good and it was all fresh and hot.

Almost everything on their menu is either gluten free or can be made gluten free. I had the best fish and chips I’ve had in years!
