Top 7 Gluten-Free Spots Across Downtown Santa Monica

This restaurant is amazing. We went later in the evening and had dinner. It’s such a cool vibe and the food was amazing. I’m celiac and I let the waiter know. He went over the whole menu and all but 2 items on the dinner menu are gluten free or can be made gluten free. He made notes on everything for my allergy. I would highly recommend you give them a try. The only slight downside is the portion sizes are a little on the smaller side so an appetizer is the way to go.

Great place! Awesome gluten free options if you need that. Some of the best pasta I've ever had and really great service too. Upscale but casual atmosphere. Great prices for the quality, they could probably get away with charging twice as much. Parking is kind of a hassle, I wish they had valet.

Found this little cafe on Christmas Eve and we're glad we did. Went for breakfast. The food was very fresh and tasted great. Coffee was also very nice. Plenty of gluten free options so everyone is covered. Service was fast and attentive.

I love Sweetfin! I have celiac so it is such a pleasure to eat at a restaurant where I do not have to worry. Our meal on Sunday was perfect! That being said, this particular location is hit-or-miss on getting the order correct. The Culver City location is my favorite - the manager and the whole team go out of their way to make your meal perfect. The SM is just closer to us.

Great options. For gluten free and dairy free

Great service. I have come several times and the staff have helped me choose a gluten free item. The breakfast is good and this time I had a more traditional meal and it was flavorful too. They have vegan and gluten free options.

In a small, slightly warm shed, they make excellent gluten-free burgers Dear

We dined for the first time last evening. We had come to take advantage of Restaurant Week and try out the restaurant. We were disappointed when our server said EVERYONE at our table of four had to participate in the Restaurant Week menu . Our one dining companion has numerous food allergies (gluten, dairy, eggs and yeast) so she was not able to partake. She only wanted the octopus and a side salad. I was disappointed you were not able to accommodate us so we ended spending more money than we needed. Also as a side note the noise level was very high which made it difficult to talk across the table.

The gluten-free crust was better than most, and the Scapegoat Pizza perfect for two.

Ordered a KBBQ Steak Bowl and added mushrooms on UberEats for pickup. Didn't open the bowl until I got home and saw that they added mushrooms, but there was no steak. Scoured the entire bowl for any hint of steak but there was none :( The rest of the bowl was okay, but some protein would've been nice to tie it together. It's nice that a majority of the menu is gluten-free.

Massilia is a French restaurant nestled in Santa Monica near third street promenade, featuring a cozy interior and an intimate patio. Our group ordered the steak frites and lamb shank and both were quite delicious. Unlike most steak frites, the steak was thicker and you were able to select the temperature as well. The fries were perfectly crispy and deliciously seasoned. You have the option to get a chimichurri or bearnaise sauce, both of which are excellent options. The lamb shank is a gluten free meal and was so soft it pulled right off to the bone! In terms of cocktails, La Française was a clear winner. Anything with St. Germain is an obvious choice. Our server was very friendly, also French, and such a delight throughout the meal service. I definitely recommend dining here for modestly priced options with great ambiance. (32/50--2024)

My daughter and I stopped by this place while we were killing time before the Barbie movie began, so we decided this was the spot to sit down and eat dinner. Good decision as the quesadilla and the tacos were really good. I ordered the gluten-free quesadilla and I wish I could have brought the tortilla shell that he used home because that was the best taco shell ever. And I mean ever. Better than gluten, even! The customer service was great, and I don't even know how he did it by himself with all those people in there, but he somehow remained attentive to our table as well. My only complaint is that I wish they weren't so shy with the seasonings, but at least we had the two choices of sauces to fill in the gaps.

Not my first time coming here, but a special visit. My parents in town wanted to go to a nice restaurant. This was decided last minute. I suggested tar and roses. My main concern was gluten contamination. I called the restaurant and was assured gluten free options were available. At the restaurant it was started that cross contamination is possible. Next concern was we didn't have a reservation. But we got there as soon as they opened and they gave us a table under the condition that we'd get out of there in time for the next reservation. Which was completely awesome of them. And of course more than plenty of time for us to get through a quick meal. But normally yeah make a reservation. Because of this the dishes we picked were the least likely to be exposed to cross-contamination. And they were completely safe.For reference we ordered the hanger steak and it was delicious and did not expose us to any gluten. The food is absolutely delicious. Every item perfectly cooked. The wine selection is wonderful. My wine aficionado father did not recognize all the names on the list and that is quite a feat. The atmosphere is upscale and the vibe is chill. Very California. The servers are lovely and very attentive. Your water glass will never go dry. There is seating available inside, in the slightly more open atmosphere and inside and then some sidewalk seating. They have heaters available for you while you wait outside to get into the restaurant or while you're eating outside. Parking in this area is busy. It's downtown Santa monica. There are plenty of parking garages a couple blocks away. Street parking for the most part is it going to be metered where you can use coin or card. It's not impossible to find a spot but on a busy Friday or Saturday night you might circle the area if you're determined to get nearby street parking. Add to the owner and head chef if you are reading this. The tomato that comes with the hanger steak... Which kind of tomato is that and how is that prepared? Hands down the best piece of tomato I've ever had in my life.

Vegan and gluten free tacos! Fried avocado taco was absolutely amazing! The female server was the kindest and most helpful! Highly recommend 😊
