Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba!

Favorite restaurant in Chicago. Never disappoints! Always accommodates gluten free allergy.

I had a lovely experience here. I’m celiac and they went over and beyond. Their blue cheese is GF and safe for celiacs. I didn’t get sick. Will definitely be going back.

Definitely not up to Lettuce Entertain You standards. We had lunch recently on a Saturday. We had a number of disappointments including: + Attempted to use valet services. Waited 10 minutes for someone to come over to the car only to be told that it would be at least 30 minutes until they could help us. Had to drive 8 blocks to find a spot. Why would you have the valet parking sign up at all in this situation. You should have had something indicating it was not available? + Not Gluten Free friendly. All sangria drinks are not gluten free because there is gluten in the fruit purees. I’ve never encountered an issue where fruit puree contained gluten. + I ordered two gluten free items from the menu. The second, the tortilla espanola took well over 30 minutes before we asked where it was. No one mentioned this when it was ordered that it takes longer than other dishes to be prepared and we had to leave before the food was even brought over to the table. + The atmosphere in the section where we were seated with two extremely large parties was so loud we were unable to carry on a conversation. + The other members of the group I was with who are not gluten free did not find the patatas bravas to be good (they were soft potatoes, not very hot, and lacking sauce). The other dishes they tried were OK but nothing special.
