Top 28 Gluten-Free Vegetarian Havens Across New Orleans

Colorful Roses

Either these reviews are for the non gluten free foods or I just went on an off day. I got the okra gumbo and red beans and rice, I felt like when I said gluten free they went ok no seasoning for this one. It was so bland I couldnt eat it. I was very disappointed as I was looking foward to good; safe for me to eat, food.

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!

Becca Chapman

great place to go if you are celiac! Tons of options and you get delicious spoon bread while you wait for your food.

My 7 year old daughter is a celiac. It’s not so easy to find glutenfree food for a celiac kid. Bit we were happy to find this place: my daughter took the glutenfree fried chicken with glutenfree waffles. She really liked the waffles also the chicken but it was a little bit to spicy for her. I took a glutenfree seafood Po boy and really enjoyed it. Even though I‘m not celiac the Po boy was delicious

I am celiac and everything is fabulous here! get the gf tres leches! IT'S AMAZING 😍

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.

If you're gluten free and missing muffalettas, the muffaletta pizza on gf crust is worthy.

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.

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.

Upon returning from the swamp to where we were all hungry, so we had the bus drop us off on canal street. We dined at Olde Nola Cookery a family-owned gem nestled right on Bourbon Street in the heart of the French Quarter. Its motto—“Cooked by Locals, Spiced with History”—captures the spirit of the place perfectly, they also accommodate gluten-free which is an added bonus! The menu is a celebration of classic New Orleans fare: think Cajun and Creole staples and their much-loved gator bites. Seafood is a standout there, we had dishes like blackened alligator salad, gluten free crab cakes, tender half rack pork ribs and shrimp po’boys. They also offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, which is a thoughtful touch for a city not always known for dietary flexibility. The atmosphere is quintessentially French Quarter—colorful, a little rowdy, and full of character. With three dining rooms and a balcony overlooking Bourbon Street, it’s a great spot for people-watching or soaking in the sounds of the city while enjoying a meal If you’re ever in the mood for a meal that feels like a love letter to New Orleans—bold, soulful, and just a little indulgent—Olde Nola Cookery might be your spot.

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.

Becca Chapman

best gf fried chicken and fries ever! and wonderful cocktails 😁 I have celiac and I am always safe here

Sydney Bonner

We went here for dinner during a bachelorette and it was lovely!! It was a great location- close to anything we wanted to do. It has options for your gluten free, vegan, or vegetarian friends as well. Tyrique was a great server. The team responsible for interior design did amazing!! It is such a cute restaurant. 🤩 The wine was a great price as well. Highly recommend the moscato. Favorite appetizers on menu: truffle fries and cheese dip!

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.

George Fields

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 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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

... 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!

Kyla

Amazing food, great service. My family do from hong kong, and I found the food to be more traditional than most typical Chinese restaurants. We sat at the bar and had excellent service, Charlie the bartender is awesome. Miss Shirley has always been on site, and seems to really take the time to talk to all her customers. Well worth the wait for a table and plenty of places nearby to grab a drink while you wait. My partner has Celiac disease and there are many GF options and the fryer is even safe. We will definitely be back.

It was my first, and unfortunately, last visit to this restaurant. I ordered gluten-free cauliflower with fries, an additional order of cauliflower, and one of their pasta dishes. The cauliflower and fries were for me. It was absolutely delicious. There were rave reviews for the Cajun pasta as well. I gave a 3 star review because the cauliflower was not gluten-free and made me very, very sick. If you have a gluten sensitivity or celiac's, beware. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for this error. Please be mindful of this when filling orders. This could land someone in the hospital.

Emily Hamman

Good gluten free & healthy selections. Relatively quick and friendly service. Smoothies are large for the cost.

Elizabeth Gooding

Great service and paid attention to gluten and seafood restrictions (2 separate dishes)

Heather Moon

The falafels are excellent. The humus and tahini are so fresh. I’ve been twice in 3 days and will go back at least a third before I leave NOLA. They are very knowledgeable about gluten free options as well. If you want freshly made and excellent food you can feel good about eating, then I highly recommend Cleo’s.
