Delicious vegetarian and gluten free food. Always a challenge to find somewhere that offers both vegetarian and gluten free and Green Elephant delivers. I had the summer rolls, super fresh and light. Then the Thai green curry. Tasted wonderful and also felt healthy. A treat. The chocolate orange mousse cake looked amazing as well. Very nice staff as well. Highly recommend.

Yosaku in Portland, ME, is a gem for authentic Japanese cuisine. I've been a patron for the last 8 years, and their Teuchi Soba, a gluten-free noodle made from 100% buckwheat flour, is a must-try. Unlike other soba that often contains wheat, Yosaku's commitment to quality is evident. With new ownership, there's been a subtle shift in taste, yet the restaurant maintains its excellent atmosphere and flavors. Their sushi and sashimi selection is extensive, including weekly specials. If you're lucky, you might even get to try their Otoro. For fish lovers, their Hamachi-Kama (Grilled Yellowtail Collar) is a delight, offered at a very reasonable price but in limited quantities.

This is our "go to" Chinese restaurant. Excellent food. Plenty of yummy gluten free options. Great service. Very easy to order. Zen's has been providing us with an exceptional experience since we came to Portland about 5 years ago.

So glad we decided to eat here—good service, even better food. Panang curry was flavorful and mildly spicy, and the chicken was very tender. The tofu pad thai, which was served like an omelette, was also excellent. Gluten-free options were plentiful and clearly marked. A little on the pricier side, but we got what we paid for.

Highly recommend for all your taco needs! Incredible atmosphere, tasty food and drinks. There are vegetarian/vegan friendly options as well as allergy-friendly options. The soft and hard taco shells are made with corn and are gluten free! Can't wait to return!

One of the best meals I’ve ever had. I’m gluten free and there were several options! Exceptional quality that is evident from the presentation to taste. The restaurants in Portland are fantastic but I’d vote that this is among the best. Tapas style but the portions were larger than I expected!

Came in several hours before our reservation and the Leeward team was happy to accommodate us at the bar. Ended up loving the bar team so much we stayed and enjoyed our entire meal there. Good food, great cocktails, even better service. Excellent gluten free options as well. Hope to be back soon!

The food at this place is amazing. I had a gluten free pizza and it was one of the best pizzas I have ever had. It did not even taste or look like a gluten free one. So much flavor. Great service as well. Highly recommend, will definitely go back.

We love Regards - it's always a pleasure to have dinner there. The food is unbelievable; it's always creative, inspired, and consistently delicious. My partner is vegetarian, and I am gluten free - they address both very conscientiously (and we have more than enough options). The atmosphere is great, and the staff is welcoming and attentive. Make sure this is on your list!

It has been a while since I have been to this classic Old Port diner and man it’s nice to be back. Marcy herself is gone (which some might feel is a good thing…), Mandy was friendly and wonderful to chat with between serving up orders. Not a place I was expecting to find a gluten-free option, but she was very pleased to make me a hot GF cinnamon roll (from BamBam Bakery!) with cream cheese frosting made fresh on the spot. Will definitely be back and I look forward to bringing my kids.

The pizza was great! I ordered a thin crust Margherita pizza and my friend ordered a Sicilian slab. Both were good, but I’d definitely get the slab if I went back! Of note, there were not great gluten free options (just salad). However, there were good vegetarian and vegan options!

I have been a few times now. The first day with the new owners I had a waitress who seemed clueless, and when I went back, she was gone. The waitstaff since then has been wonderful! I am celiac and can't have dairy, but I have gotten the burger with a side salad. It is simple and delicious! I have gone with different folks each time and we have eaten our way through much of the menu...nothing has been mediocre yet!

Best meal of the trip! I am gluten-free and was completely safe! My entree was duck and it was some of the best I have ever had. Even the charcuterie board had complimentary flavors beyond what most offer. Do not miss this innovative and delicious food in search of a mediocre lobster roll!

The guys were super nice and the dishes were delish. For tacos and beer for two our bill was very reasonable. The veggie and fish were my favorite. Both very flavorful and a great texture on the fish. Their tortillas are corn so also naturally gluten free! Also, as California natives we found the salsa excellent!

We finally tried Thai Tree after other gluten free friends have tried it and had no issues. Also read a review that said they have dedicated woks for gluten free orders. We missed having Pad Thai since many other local Thai restaurants no longer had gluten free options. Thai Tree was amazing. Best pad Thai we’ve had. The sauces that came with the Spring rolls were delicious. Can’t wait to try more gluten free dishes! Thank you!

Came to Portland, ME for my birthday found this quaint restaurant by the hotel and had to check it out. Food is fantastic! Good portion sizes and very friendly staff. Plenty of options and gluten free choice also. Highly recommend. Also, their home potatoes are phenomenal.
