Top 50 Gluten-Free Vegan Havens to Explore in Louisiana

Egg, sausage, fruit and English muffin was delicious!

Diana Gonzalez

This place is amazing for celiac or gluten allergy. They have gluten-free vegan batter that is cooked in a separate area. I had the Pizza crepe ans the honey bunny both amazingly delicious. The owner was very nice and helpful. Definitely coming back!

This was our favorite restaurant that we tried while visiting New Orleans! Everything was amazing from the presentation to the variety to the food quality. Norma was patient with us while we decided what we wanted to order and she answered our questions. It’s great that everything was gluten-free!

Anthony Slaughter

The food was awesome! And Henry is the man! His recommendations were the selections that I went with and he took care of me with regard to my gluten allergy. I went with the red fish and it was so good. It was the perfect end to my 60th birthday celebration in the Big Easy.

Delicious gluten-free paleo blueberry pancakes and cheese grits!!!

You’d likely never know this adorable, plant-filled space on a block bearing a street name no one knows (that feels more like an alley) could be the best thing to happen to your week. Located directly across from one of the two U.S. Court of Appeals loading docks, this oasis quickly transports the diner to a country they may have never visited and may now want to visit immediately. This isn’t that “Mexican” place you have in your hometown that mostly serves to pacify the American palate. That isn’t to say it will feel unfamiliar or awkward; you may just realize excessive grease and cheese aren’t required for enjoyment of every item. With the exception of tortas (sandwiches) and a couple of desserts, everything is gluten-free. Not just in the “no-gluten-containing-ingredients” way you may find many places, but instead it’s an environment where staff are trained on cross-contamination (and where they have a dedicated frier). There are also numerous vegetarian and vegan options. Happy hour is 3-6 weekdays, and you’ll definitely leave happier. Then again, that’s kinda guaranteed anytime you visit. Do yourself a flavor 😉 and walk right on over from the streetcar or even the French Quarter. Should you take the ferry over here from Algiers? Well, I sure won’t discourage it! Come hungry, thirsty, and ready for your life (or at least taste buds) to be improved.

Gluten free pizza was lovely

Belem Ramos

This was my first time visiting this establishment, and I have to say my experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The service was warm and attentive, and the food? Simply amazing. Every dish had such bold, unique flavors, and I really appreciated the wide variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options on the menu. I ordered the Crab Scramble with vegan eggs, which was packed with flavor. I also got a side of the bison sausage it was my first time trying bison. While I personally prefer chicken or seafood over red meat, the sausage was still well-seasoned and tasty, with subtle notes of onion and bell pepper (not sure if that was intentional, but it worked!). My mom ordered the Shrimp and Grits, and I got to try a bite and wow. It was a flavor explosion. I've never tasted anything quite like it before rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. We all shared the Bananas Foster Pancakes, which were sweet but not overpowering, with a unique flavor that really stood out. I also tried their Iced Matcha Latte delicious and classic in taste. If you're looking for a traditional, less-sweet matcha, this is the one for you. My cousin ordered the Cat Daddy Biscuit, and once again great flavors, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was on point. My aunt went with the Bearcat Breakfast, a more traditional option, but she swapped in the bison sausage, and it paired beautifully with the eggs and potatoes. The only downside? Parking can be a bit tricky, and there might be a wait ours was about an hour. But trust me, it’s absolutely worth it. Next time I'm in New Orleans, I’ll be back without a doubt!

One of the few restaurants I've ever been to where I had a drink waiter separate from the waitress, but was also chill with me wearing shorts and a graphic tee. They ask about and seem very attentive to dietary restrictions, so if vegetarian or gluten free or your thing they will work with you. I appreciated the hanging art separating the tables around the periphery of the restaurant as well as the general vibe. I ended up ordering a couple of cocktails and the Ramos Gin Fizz was like drinking a slice of lemon meringue pie; 10/10 if you're into meringue. That was followed up with a honeysuckle liqueur drink melding blackberries and basil (honey child) that was good, but didn't come close to touching the Gin fizz. I ordered the fixed price 3-course meal with turtle soup and sherry followed by the best shrimp and grits I've ever had in my life and capped off with the best bread pudding I've ever had as well. Thanks to the waitress for pushing me toward the bread pudding: The toasted pecans and caramel really sent it over the edge and made it an especially sumptuous dish. Another gin fizz in a to go cup (because French quarter, why not?) and I was off to the next stop!

Ethan

The food was incredible! So well seasoned and fresh. Had many gluten friendly options. Excellent place for healthy and delicious dining!

Christopher Davis

We sat out in the air conditioned front section and Christy took great care of us! We were looking for some yummy gluten free options and Sophia’s pizza was really great. Next time we will try the gf pastas. Christy was awesome and the kale salad was my favorite - definitely try the kale salad.

Sam Kaufmann

Victoria recommends the steak tacos to her fellow gluten free eaters.

Claudia English

Gluten free options were limited… three options or getting food grilled. Still unsure of how friendly it was as felt unwell after dinner.

Kim Slone

Amazing and delicious!! Had plenty of vegan and gluten free options.

Camille Ceruti

Love their food, always good and they have many gluten free options

Kerri Lorigan

Outstanding GLUTEN-FREE fried chicken and salt and vinegar string fries. We sat ourselves in the semi-enclosed private room on the second floor, which was comfortable, allowed us to hear the live music and talk comfortably with one another. The cocktails were delightful and interesting!

Tracy Franks-Blanchard

Definitely will be back to try some of the other entrees on the menu. The pork tamale was so tender, the birria and cheese enchiladas were perfection. Hubby recommends the Mexican Stir-fry with the protein trio of chicken, shrimp, and steak. I did steal a shrimp to check for myself. The grill on it made the flavor pop. They can cater to just about any restrictions too. They have keto, vegetarian, and gluten free menus. When you go, ask for Dallas. He delivers top notch service!

Nick Hall

Great atmosphere, service and GF options. If you like pumpernickel the bread is for you here.

Fred Fred

Run to this restaurant. The dishes are so delicious with lots of flavor and balance spices. Prince is very patient to explain the recipes, the used ingredient and the history of this Ethiopian cuisine. In addition 99,99% of the dishes are gluten free.

Mindi Keith

Stopped in after work with a friend for a late lunch and had the best tuna salad sandwich *chefs kiss* My friend couldn’t stop raving about her food also. Server was fantastic and funny. Menu features gluten free options for those of us with dietary restrictions. Hope to go again!

Jill Judy

Staff could not have been more pleasant. Wine menu was extensive with solid selections. Our mains were well made with fresh ingredients, unique flavors, and the menu took great care to provide top-notch options for vegans and gluten intolerant folks. While I’m not vegan, the chocolate vegan ice cream was incredibly decadent and delicious. The website pictures made me think seating was communal; it is not. We wish we could move this gem to our town.

Jana Miskarova

This place was recommended to me, though my friends were one of the best places to go . I can admit that it was truly one of the best ! They have gluten-free, including cornflower crust, which was delicious. Also, they have vegan cheese 🧀 😋 ale that was highlight of my day as i am lactose-free too, and it's extremely hard to find such a place. Also, you can choose any topping so my pizza was really rich 😂😂 They offer sorbet, this is true gem 💎

Mini Me

Gluten free menu , turkey option for non red meat eaters clean facility

George Fields

Brandi Miller

This is a 100% dedicated gluten free restaurant with arguably the best food, whether you are eating gluten free or not. Their menu clearly states everything used is gluten free, which if you have Celiac, you know the appreciation for that alone. If you’re in the area, take the time to make a stop here…you won’t regret it! It is a sit down, nicer restaurant so take that into account. Ordering to-go might be an option if you are looking to get back on the road when traveling through. They also sell jars of their green and red salsa…worth buying to take along!

Elizabeth Moll

We chose Theo's because they offer a gluten free crust. The crust was good but it was the sauce that made the pizza so dang good! Also, the chef noticed a mistake before our pizza came out so he had the kitchen fix it and he offered us a beer while we waited. Friendly staff and yummu eats!

Jerry Rogers

Food was excellent we took our food to go so I don't know how it was inside. My wife has a gluten allergy she said the gluten-free pizza tasted great which is hard to do would go back

Robin Cobb

Top local place to go for gluten free and vegan!

Jake Bowers

If you've recently lost a loved one (egg, milk, gluten) then this is the place you need to try. They work magic. I don't know how they make brioche or pastry cream without eggs or dairy but they did it excellently.

Elizabeth E H

I would give 6 Stars if I could. For an early morning breakfast, there is no other option near the French Quarter. Whole menu available for breakfast.. you can get a curry, a salad or traditional breakfast and smoothie / juice. Menu clearly marked for gluten free and nourishing vegetarian options. Very very delicious and friendly service. Fast and low prices considering all the ingredients. Nice decor and truly an oasis! PS, you don’t need to be gluten free / vegan or vegetarian or health conscious to have a great meal here!!

Matthew Hayden

I go here several times a week. Chili Avocado Toast on GF bread is a go to. Vegan scramble is great, too. Don’t miss out on the dirty lemonade! This is a great little local cafe with gf options available. I don’t have such a severe issue that I need to worry about cross contamination, so I can’t say that it’s celiac safe, but it works for me!

Pamela Winkelmann

We arrived during a slow spell. Our server was polite and conversed with us while he took care of our orders. I’m allergic to wheat and have Celiac Disease. He put on fresh gloves, obtained a GF crust, which had its own tray, and knew to use ingredients from fresh containers. Overall a positive experience.

We love the gluten free and vegan options. Amazing pizza 🍕 😋

Matt Turner

Outstanding vegan and gluten free options. You MUST try a king cake and the hot breakfasts!

Cordial Connie

In the past this location was well managed. Staff no longer has concern for customers. Also used to have gluten free fries and menu - no longer. Very disappointed. Drastically different.

Haley Andrews

10/10 !!! Amazing options for vegans and gluten free. The flavors are beautiful

Aaron

Was in town for one night. Was looking for a place that had gluten free and vegan options. I was not expecting to have one of the best meals i've had in a long while. The owner was very kind, friendly and accommodating, answered all of our questions about the menu. 10/10 would come back.

The place does justice to it's name. Sweet Soulfood. Enormously huge selection of vegan and vegetarian options, with plenty of them gluten free too! Tried the (orange) sweet and chili cauliflower, Jambalaya, Okra Gumbo and bread pudding with sauce. Everything was beyond delicious. The cauliflower was finger licking good. The gumbo was something you'd get at your parents house, perfect balance of flavors, something you can eat everyday. It was packed with okra! The bread pudding was steaming hot and tasty! The sauce made it all the more better. Massive portion sizes, crazy for the price. The kale spinach green goddess juice tastes quite good and refreshing too. What an amazing place!

The coffee is wonderful and the gluten free options are amazing!

Hana A.

Food is delicious and all meat is halal. However, as a Muslim seeking halal meat you may not feel comfortable due to the fact that there’s a bar with alcoholic beverages and a Hindu idol right next to the tables.There are lots of vegetarian options as well, and most of their menu is gluten free, which can be great for people with specific dietary restrictions. If you, for any reason, do not want dairy, then you can easily ask any kind of meat to be added to your vegan labeled dish. There are not many things for the children either, may not be the best choice if you have kids. They also have a huge pile of dust all over the decorations right above the tables which was concerning. Overall good.

Danielle Fuentes Johnson

As some with multiple, severe food restrictions, Lamara was a wonderful surprise. Almost everything is gluten-free, and I had numerous dairy free and mammal free options as well.

Miranda Colligan

My favorite restaurant for tikka masala. Mr Kahn and his staff provide great service. The food is cooked fresh from all natural ingredients. It can be prepared vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, etc. The meals are served family style and there is plenty to share around the table. They also offer a full take out menu and you can order via text from their website.

Henrik Joreteg

Good Gluten Free options. The house potatoes were stupidly good... I mean wow. I didn't know potatoes could be that good. Also really liked the sticky beets dish, and the grilled carrots dish on the tofu-based ricotta alternative. That stuff was magic (and I'm not vegan). We used that as dip sauce for the potatoes and... it was incredible. For the main course we ordered both the beef and chicken. Both were quite good, but honestly we enjoyed the small other dishes above better than the main course 😅. Had creme brulee for desert, it was good too, but not particularly extraordinary.

In New Orleans during an historic snow storm today and everywhere within walking distance of our Airbnb was closed, except this little gem of a diner serving delicious breakfasts and sandwiches, with vegetarian and gluten free options should one wish. Really good food and absolutely delightful staff. Definitely worth a visit anytime, but especially appreciated on this rare wild snowy day. Thank you for being open!

Leticia Garcia

This is a great spot for some healthy options. We got the Mexicali salad and Orbit Bowl—both were delicious, fresh, and packed with nutritious ingredients. The golden smoothie was really good, with a perfectly balanced flavor. They had plenty of options if you are vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for those with dietary restrictions or anyone looking for a wholesome meal.

Alaa El-barqa

Small new place that i wanted to try out. So glad i did. Flavor is awesome and place is super clean. Loved that they are vegan, gluten free and soy free. With handmade toppings. Will definately be my new stop for a quick no guilt treat.😍😍😍

Missy C

Great pizza. Though i bought my daughter a gluten free pizza and I swear its the frozen one I bought at the grocery store with their toppings. Melted cheese pattern (you know what Im talking about) was a giveaway. I wasnt impressed with that and its the only reason its not a 5 star.

Sierra Frost

... and 24hrs later, they have taken the accessibility off their menu and website. Cool. All the restaurants dont care about serving anyone but the same old thing for everyone who can eat anywhere. I guess I will never go out to eat then, Ikes. ....... I got delivery. I have tons of allergies due to medical conditions, including celiac. I had no reactions and loved my food. It is wild to me how hard it is to get a sandwich I can eat from local places but I can get one here, so I'm very grateful!

Kristy Henderson

Went here while visiting from out of town, the pizza was absolutely fabulous amd do delicious, some of the best we have ever eaten, they even had gluten free options from those with allergies!
