Top 50 Gluten-Free Vegetarian Havens Across Louisiana

Ester Martinez

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!

Billie Jo Hayes

Extremely knowledgeable servers and chefs! Delicious food and extensive wine list. Door (not sure how this should be spelled) and Miss Jackie made sure my meal was Celiac-safe. Such a pleasure eating somewhere they honestly care about serving a Celiac patron safely. Highly recommend.

My 7 year old daughter is a celiac. She had the glutenfree waffles and fried chicken. She really enjoyed the waffles but the chicken was a little bit to spicy for her. I had the glutenfree seafood Po boy and it was really delicious. Another day we tried the glutenfree version of a Beignet a Calas. It was not really like the „real“ Beignets but it was a good an nice option to have something sweet for her.

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

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.

Matt

I was hoping for a good meal away from the French Quarter, but we got so much more. The entrees were SOOO good, they truly took us by surprise. I’ll remember the chicken and the shrimp dishes for a while. I rarely order dessert, but after an entree that good, I needed to see what dessert offered. The Salted Peanut Pie was delicious. Only thing of mention was about the lack of gluten free dessert options - typical ice cream and sorbet offering.

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.

Shyamal Pansuriya

This is a hole in the wall kinda place with excellent food and drinks but the wait the wait was lackluster! They have gluten free options!

Kim Slone

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

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!

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!

Jason C

Great restaurant with authentic food and amazing service! Could accommodate my gluten allergy which I sincerely appreciate :-). Steak frites and eggs are fire 🔥

Katy Garzotto

Excellent quality for the price. My husband and I particularly love the curbside pickup option. Best of all, they have a gluten free pasta option for me and my fellow gluten sensitive people!

Nick Hall

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

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!

Gayle Young

Oh man, I had a great solo meal today at BJ's. Gluten-free pizza! Phoebe and Brooke are the best 2 waiters/Servers/Bartenders evah. Eating out is challenging for me, but these two made it so easy. I feel geat! No cramps, no pain at all. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thanks Phorbe and Brooke', y'all rock! See ya soon!:)

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.

Katie Jacola

What a blessing to have this restaurant in our community! I love knowing that I can purchase meals that are truly healthy for my body. Each week, the owner works tirelessly to prepare organic, gluten free, and dairy free dishes, casseroles, and desserts to customers, and I have never been disappointed! I absolutely love the Meal Rx service! Because of this service, I'm able to ensure that I have the highest quality meals for an entire week at a time. If you are a working individual or have other time constraints that don't allow for meal prep, you really need Meal Rx in your life! I hope you choose to give this restaurant a try! Not only are you supporting a business that is trying to better the health of the community by offering genuinely clean food, you are also supporting local farmers who are vested in producing food that is raised and grown cleanly! Thank you to For His Temple for being the example for others to follow!

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!

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 💎

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

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!!

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.

Lotus petal

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

Haley Andrews

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

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!

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.

Priscilla Nichols

I go for the Gluten free blueberry drops. Wish there were more flavor options and they weren't quite as sweet but the blueberry is pretty tasty.

Jazmin Magee

A group of friends and I went in for a birthday dinner and had a lovely time. Sherwyn was our server that night and he was awesome. Very knowledgable about their gluten free options which is a must for me. Also awesome food! A favorite for us.

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

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!

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.

Amy Butler

Love their gluten free pizza. Everything is always so fresh.

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.

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.

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.

Kimberly B.

Im traveling again and I love finding/supporting quaint little places that offer gluten friendly items. The menu has a variety of food, fresh juices, wheatgrass shots, smoothies with milk alternatives, and more. I had the best smoothie (which I customized with no problem). I also drank it before getting a photo 😬, my bad! Now I’m big on flavor and while the bowl I built was nice (👍🏽 to the chipotle dressing) the veggies were fresh and crisp, great quinoa, BUT the chicken was extremely bland. A bit of seasoning and it would have been perfect. There are a few other items I wouldn’t mind trying but maybe not with chicken. (Or salt and pepper it after the fact 😉) Overall, thanks Tru!

Jordan Lightfoot

Great service, affordable and good quality food. Couldn't recommend more highly. Clearly marked gluten free options.
