Top 36 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in Vail

Shabana

Gluten free options. I was told to come here but to be honest, it isn’t anything special. Definitely over priced for what we got. The poor server was the only one and she seemed to have the whole restaurant. She was very kind. food was meh. not memorable.

I had the Rueben, very small gf bread with two slices of pastrami and could barely see the sauerkraut. Not worth the money, for $16 it’s all you get. I paid extra for a pickle, it was rubbery and I couldn’t bite through the skin. Definitely skip.

We had a truly outstanding experience at Garfinkel’s in Vail. The location is beautiful with a great view, and the atmosphere is welcoming—but what stood out most was the exceptional service and care we received. Our server, Maggie, was incredibly kind and attentive. As soon as we mentioned our severe gluten and dairy allergies, she immediately brought over the manager, Mike, who went above and beyond. He sat down with us personally, carefully reviewed the menu, and explained in detail what options were safe and how the kitchen could modify and prepare them to avoid any cross-contamination. We ordered a burger and nachos, both of which were not only delicious but safely prepared. The entire staff handled our dietary needs with a level of seriousness and attention to detail that we rarely experience, even in allergy-aware establishments. For anyone with severe food allergies, we wholeheartedly recommend Garfinkel’s. Their commitment to safety, combined with genuine hospitality, makes this a standout spot in Vail. We are incredibly grateful and look forward to returning.

We ordered takeout here twice last week (so can’t comment on the service or atmosphere really), but the pizza here is awesome. Also for those celiacs out there, my wife said the gluten free pizza was amongst the best she’s had (and she didn’t get sick). Pro-tip… the mozzarella sticks here are 50% cheaper and significantly better than the other options in lionshead. Our 4 year old refuses to eat anything else at the moment, so we sampled about 4-5 different options of these while we were there, and this was easily the best option.

Responding to my husband’s comments because the establishment didn’t actually read his complaints. I have celiacs disease. The waitress had no idea what on the menu could be provided gluten free. I had annotated celiacs on our reservation. This is our first Michelin where the waitress had no idea what could be prepared gluten free. Our appetizer was good. The broccoli in my plate contained 3 weeks worth of my daily recommended sodium. My husbands pork was undercooked and he was never asked how he would like it prepared. So yes, we do expect more from a Michelin than from Applebees. The only person who came to talk to us said he was new to the management position. My husband told him that in 14 Michelin restaurants this year, this is the only one where we would not return. I am not sure if it gets more clear than this. To be clear, we were perfectly willing to talk, but no questions were asked. We would have let our complaint die here, but given your poor response, we reported it to Michelin, and will encourage all the other one star reviews to do the same.

Amazing family-owned pizza place. We called ahead to find out how their gluten-free pizza is prepared and were told there is a separate preparation area! What a rarity! As a celiac, I am often wary of eating out because of the risk of having a reaction from cross-contamination. This fantastic family addressed my concerns and ensured I was fully aware of the whole process. The gluten-free pizza was amazing, piled high with lots of toppings. I didn't have a reaction, and I will be coming here again!

This place is spectacular, the atmosphere is as if you were in the 90s (in a good way) the breakfasts are well served and they have bread options (even gluten free) I am attaching some images of the breakfasts that my wife and I ordered. Only one day when we went, my wife's omelet was overcooked but they removed it from the bill without any problem. They have very good service.

An interactive meal with such fun food pairings like fondue, pretzels and mustard, and fantastic cocktails. A great place for after the slopes to warm up or with larger groups. Highly recommend the winter curry, gluten-free, dairy free and vegan! The atmosphere transports you into another world! Every trip we come here!

would give negative stars if possible. came in on 10/17 around 8:15 pm. by far the absolute worst customer service i have ever experienced. the lady in her 40’s with brown hair & a pony tail has the worst attitude and should pick a career that stays far far away from people. she was rude, unhelpful, and didn’t even give us correct change back. if you own this business, do yourself a favor and hire someone else. to anyone thinking about going here, i recommend you spend your money elsewhere unless you prefer to be treated like an inconvenience. the gluten free pizza is also trash.
