Top 24 Gluten-Free Accommodating Spots to Enjoy in Portsmouth

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!
