Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots Across Portsmouth

Erica Marinaro

Really good food. Had a lobster roll and the fries were GF too!

Paulina Vitello

The best gluten free popovers. Always stop by when we're in the area and get a whole box to-go.

Abby Elliott

Great breakfast sandwich and coffee. Reasonable prices and good service! I overheard that they have gluten free options for some sandwiches which is great. I was here around 12/12:30 and there was only one girl taking orders and making all the drinks but she was crushing it, I don’t know if I could handle the constant rush that well! I wish I’d gotten her name but shoutout to her and everyone working this morning!!

They understand allergies and cross contamination, they are known for their high standards of allergy friendly food. My group that went had lots of different allergies and they were able to make safe food for all of us. I got an amazing gluten free and dairy free meal. The staff was very respectful as well

Hannah Kayali

Everything was great! We had a large party, which they were able to seat quickly and we all had food not long after order. I had the gluten free pizza, which impressed me and was not dry or crumbly at all. Very, very good!

A cozy local restaurant that offers their unique take on classic American cuisine. They are located in a charming building with plenty of street parking available surrounding the establishment. For nicer weather, there is a side patio with tables shaded with umbrellas and their main dining area. The selection of food is perfect for lunch or dinner and not overwhelming, plus they have a full bar. They serve plenty of local beer and cider, which is an excellent way to sample what the area has to offer. The majority of the menu is gluten-free, and they do offer gluten-free substitutions for sandwiches and pasta. The real highlight of the meal are their spudsters - mashed potatoes made into little conical shapes with a piping bag, probably frozen, and then deep fried. They have seasonings and sauces to choose from to create endless tasting combinations. Absolutely my new favorite appetizer, and I would come back just for these. Everyone enjoyed their lunch and we were very happy we decided to stop. We will definitely be by again when in the area.

I recently visited The Friendly Toast in Boston’s Back Bay, and it quickly became one of my favorite brunch spots. The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a vibrant, retro-inspired atmosphere filled with eclectic decor that added a fun and welcoming vibe to the dining experience.  The menu was impressively diverse, catering to various dietary preferences, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. I decided to try the “Hash Quiche,” which was a delightful combination of cheesy eggs accompanied by a fresh fruit salad . The flavors were rich and satisfying, making it a standout dish.  My friend opted for the “Breakfast Burrito,” which was generously filled and packed with flavor. The portion sizes were substantial, ensuring we left feeling full and content. We also shared the “French Toast Monster,” a cinnamon raisin French toast served with bacon, eggs, and home fries. It was a perfect blend of sweet and savory, and even though we got it to-go, it remained fresh and delicious .  The service was prompt and friendly, with staff members who were attentive and eager to ensure we had a great experience. Despite the bustling environment, our food arrived quickly, and the staff maintained a cheerful demeanor throughout our visit. Overall, The Friendly Toast offers a unique and enjoyable dining experience with its creative menu, generous portions, and lively atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable brunch spot in Boston.

Having a gluten allergy and going out to restaurants and not feeling safe is incredibly common. The service of Ella and hunter was super helpful and made me feel safe with my allergy. Not to mention that the food is great

Mara Tzizik Swanson

Great food love. How many gluten-free options there are!

Alexis Frobin

Very nice people, many gluten free options, and you’re able to select your spice level on a scale of 1 to 10! Make sure to get a dessert.

Monica Galbraith

I have celiac disease, and the minute the server (whose name is also Monica) found out she was very diligent in making sure my food was safe! She double checked each dish so that I had no worries about eating :)

Gave me a glutinous bagel when I said I had a gluten allergy. Told me it was my fault over the phone. 0 stars.

My wife and I eat out a lot — probably more than we should — and honestly, most places blur together. Same look, same food, same “safe” hotel kitchen vibe. Napoletana Pizzeria & Bar is a refreshing exception. It feels like the kind of neighborhood spot you’d find in Italy, or the way Boston’s North End used to be before it got over-gentrified. The food is bold and rustic, the space has real warmth — exposed brick, wood beams, no flash — just good energy and honest cooking. We often go during Happy Hour (4–6pm). The menu stays the same, but the prices on drinks and appetizers drop. From the main menu, don’t miss the Griglie Miste — a mixed grill of sausage, steak tips, and chicken. Everything is cooked just right, and the char from the grill brings it all together. It’s big enough to share, but you might not want to. The Mussels Fra Diavolo are another standout. Served as an appetizer, but easily a meal on their own. The broth is deep, rich, and spicy — and if heat isn’t your thing, they’ll tone it down while keeping the flavor. We get them almost every time. If they have it, grab a glass of the Toscano wine. It’s imported by their parent company, Tuscan Kitchen, and it punches way above its price. The pizzas? Excellent. Rectangular (except for gluten-free), crisp crust, fresh toppings — exactly what you want from a proper pizza. The service is always sharp and friendly. Napoletana has become our go-to spot. It’s not trying to be trendy. It just is that good.

Very delicious, gluten free options. The pancakes were so huge my teenager had to bring some home! Kind staff.

I visit this location once or twice a month, and each time, I'm consistently impressed by the exceptional service. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and thorough in their approach, creating an overall wonderful experience. On my most recent visit, about three weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being served by Becca, who truly stood out. She was not only attentive but also incredibly accommodating and kind, going above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. I happened to visit on the last day of the old menu, and as always, the staff demonstrated great knowledge of the gluten-free options available, which I really appreciate. It’s rare to find such a consistently high level of service, and this team never fails to impress!

We eat at a lot of poke places as many have gluten free options for my daughter with celiac disease. Not the best poke bowl we've ever had. It was okay/good. A decent option when there aren't that many choices available.

Delicious, organic, fresh, filling, gluten free options! Can't recommend enough. Go to spot when I'm in the area!

I don’t usually write reviews but I felt compelled to after our experience at this lovely establishment. We stumbled across this place on accident and we are surely glad we did. We were met by kind, patient and knowledgeable service. The menu is intimate with flavorful options many of which could be gluten free! There were descriptions of each item which was helpful if you don’t know Thai cuisine. I wanted to try everything because all of the dishes sounded sooo good. When the food arrived (in a timely manner) the presentation, flavors and portions were just right! You can tell the chef cooks with his heart. Every bite is unique and flavorful! The dishes I tasted were even more elevated than those I’ve had in Thailand. We will definitely be back to sample the differently monthly specials. Thank you Five81*NE!

Jonny Moore

A go to place for the Gluten Free folks in our family. Most of the battered/fried seafood option have a GF variant that's really well done. Overall high quality and great location.

Honestly, I’m disappointed. I ate here with a couple friends, one with a gluten intolerance and a shellfish allergy. We informed our server of this when we ordered and she was great. When food arrived, immediately after this friend received her food, we were informed that she couldn’t eat her fries because the chefs found a crab cake in the fryer. It was okay and the server even got us free mashed potatoes for her. When the new plate came, we caught that her bun for her sandwich was in fact, not gluten free. She then just ate it without the bread because we were so fed up because as well as this, multiple of us found weird bits in our drinks, one that we pulled out even looking like a moldy piece of cheese. The servers were great about this though, and apologized profusely. Unfortunately I can’t say I was satisfied with my experience here.

Fast Didn’t get sick from the gluten-free choice

Killeen Martell

Great food. Everything was well prepared and seasoned perfectly. Some of us are vegetarian, some keto, some gluten-free. It was really easy to mix and match multiple entrees we all could enjoy. The shrimp rolls were amazing; so fresh and delicious!!

Ann Fox

We've always loved the atmosphere at Row 34 in Portsmouth. Oysters are fresh and delicious with a depth of variety. Last night, I ordered the wild shrimp with asparagus, parmesan and meyer lemon dish. The dish arrived, and then I realized it came with (delicious looking) pasta. But, I don't eat gluten. (Note: the server asked if there were any allergies, and I said no, as it isn't an allergy and I figured I could order appropriately.) The server and chef were gracious and so helpful. The chef remade my dish with rice--honestly the best dish I've ever had at Row 34. The pasta dish looked so good, too. Highly recommend.

During our recent day trip, we enjoyed lunch at the Thirsty Moose before heading home. This restaurant has an impressive selection of beer, cider, hard seltzer, a full bar, and non-alcoholic drinks. Their expansive bar is backed by a continuous wall of TVs and more dot the walls of the dining areas. The open restaurant has plenty of seating, especially along the bar. Their menu has all the classic pub food, some with an inventive twist and clever names. They have a gluten-free menu available but not a dedicated fryer. I really enjoyed my cauliflower crust Greek pizza, and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the Bullwinkle burger and was able to upgrade it to two patties. Our server, Sean, was attentive, friendly, and made sure our experience was perfect. This is an excellent location to stop by for a meal for solo guests, couples, families, or groups. We'd definitely come back to Thristy Moose the next time we're in the area.

I’ve gone here for cannolis a couple times but never bought pizza. I’ve always enjoyed their cannolis and loved that they were one of the few places open late as I get out of work late some evenings and forget to eat something. I bought a slice for the first time today and it was a great size for the price as well as they have a deal for a free cannoli with a slice before 8pm. Every time I have gone the service has been very kind and nice to talk to. I hadn’t left a review before because I often forget but felt I should as I’ve never had a bad experience. I’d also like to add that my friend has a gluten allergy and had never had a gluten free cannoli before and they have them here! Every time I visit nj now he asks me to bring him one.

It's so great to find a place that's all dairy free with lots of gluten free foods. I can't tell you how exciting that is

Sarah Shields

We sat at the bar (AJ was great), and all of our dishes and drinks were delicious! They have a gluten free menu (both cross contamination ok, and not ok) too, which was good for our group. I love places that give you a bottle of water to refill your own glass. The whoopie pie sliders for dessert was the icing on a wonderful evening.

Sam Ostroff

Excellent selection of gluten-free baked items

Jenny

Absolutely fantastic in every way! The staff is super nice and friendly, the food is delicious, and the best part - they have lots of gluten free options on the menu!!

Elizabeth Harlow

Great gluten free options!! I loved today’s visit. I ordered the fun size veggie Bennie with a side of corned beef hash. The hash was on the spicy side which was to my taste. . The Cemita sandwich and speciality fries lived up to the positive reviews. Apologies the picture was taken after enjoying 1/2 the meal.

Elizabeth Varney

Gluten Free Lobster Roll!!! Reasonable Prices.

Food is delicious, seating indoors has a cool vibe, & the OUTDOOR DOG-FRIENDLY PATIO is the BEST. Staff is welcoming and friendly and very knowledgeable about allergies. Gluten free and dairy free crust and cheese is available! Take your furry friends and run, don't walk, to Dough ASAP!

First, let me say, how delighted and surprised at the growth in Portsmouth, NH. Second, for me, La Maison Navarre is an especially wonderful addition because I miss those precious moments on business trips enjoying scrumptious pastries and coffee in Paris. La Maison Navarre was a genuine delight in every aspect, more so because my granddaughter was over the moon with the gluten free Paris Brest. She resides in Boston and flies for American Airlines. You can be assured the good word will be spread far and wide about your lovely cafe.
