Top 27 Gluten-Free Allergen-Friendly Spots Across Denver

Casey Cromwell

Soooooo many amazing options to choose from! Our surprise faves were the soft pretzels bites and the sourdough bread. Donuts were also yummy! They also had many dairy free and vegan options and were very allergy aware.

They are so accommodating. I have Celiac and it is nice to go to a 100% gluten free kitchen.

Jennifer George

Fabulous fish and chips! 🤌🏻

Solid options for gluten free, tasty eats

This is a great place to eat. I was curious about for their fried oyster mushrooms and they were other worldly delicious. We shares with our tablemates and everyone enjoyed them. We had a small bowl of their vegan posole which was very flavorful and satisfying and filing. We shared their falafel wrap which was packed with great fillings and three or four falafel balls. Also very satisfying. My complaint may be aged based as I'm older, and also I also used to work in the food industry. This is a counter service restaurant. You get everything yourself, they bring out the food. Explain to me why at the end of purchase, there is an automatic 18% tip? You can change it, they suggest 20% or 25% (FOR NO SERVICE) and right below a button to customize or offer no tip. I am not going to be a shmuck and not tip at all, but starting at 18%? I gave 10%. I've watched the industry deal with wage issues. I know the margins are thin for restaurants. Maybe it is hitting me more since we just came back from Spain, where there is a different price for sit down verses bar and no tipping (and a whole different culture of how we care for people). But assuming 18% or more tip for counter service is audacious. Will I recommend this place? Yes. This is a great addition to vegan/vegetarian and gluten free food scene in Denver. They also offer chicken and fish and pork for the meat eaters. It's cool and hip and welcoming. The food is tasty. Try it.

Go to spot, delicious food with interesting flavors combinations that have me coming back! Safe for gluten free and took other allergies very seriously!

This place is incredible, especially for someone who has celiac. The food was delicious, some of the sauces were so surprising it really made the dish. There are plenty of GF of options to try.

Perrin Brown

Very attentive staff and a clearly marked menu

Kate Hazel

Service was fantastic! They were quick to seat us even though they were busy. The menu had so many options from omelets to pancakes to eggs Benedict’s! Plus gluten free!!! I got the flight of pancakes gluten free and they were soft as pillows and so amazingly delicious. My hubby ordered a burrito and it was ginormous! He lives spicy food and their hot sauce had his “bald spot sweating” (his words 🤣). Christine also offered us multiple options for things to do in the area and places to see. It was an extraordinary experience!

Eliza Duquette

Food is tasty and fresh, love that nearly everything is gluten free. Casey our server was fabulous!!

Conner Lyapunov

the food was pretty okay!! unfortunately they were out of all of their lemonades which was a bummer :( otherwise they’re good with gluten free accommodations (on pizza and and sandwiches)

William McColm

One of Denver’s finest restaurants & the best sushi! Wonderful service & they easily accommodate my celiac needs.

Came here because of ads about the fried chicken! I haven’t had a real life chicken parmesan in years due to my gluten allergy but always craved one and was so excited to order it, my partner got the meatloaf and they loved it as did I my chicken parmesan though I wish it was pasta instead of squash but I can understand at least they had this option for me. The gluten free desserts were delicious, the chocolate chip cookie and peanut butter tart were to die for and we had their zero proof cocktail spicy margarita which was very flavorful to the point where we weren’t sure if it was NA! The cocktail was a big highlight for me, I could definitely come here again and try some more things off the menu!

I found this place on accident because I was the DD for my friends yesterday. All the bars that we were going to did not have any safe foods for me. I recently discovered my stomach cannot tolerate dairy and gluten. So, my partner found this place for me to go to on my own. I had a great waiter named Rob H, who was so nice and had really fast service. I couldn't believe how full I got so fast on the food, the ventilation in this restaurant is really good, so I felt safe taking my mask off when I needed to eat. Another thing that sold me was they served luke warm water in bottles and I'm always asking restaurants for this and they never accommodate. This is why I always go into food places with my own water bottle, but I don't need to do that here. It's very LGBT friendly, I felt very seen and safe. I also loved that I do not think they serve any drinks with high fructose corn syrup (which is another trigger ingredient I can't have). They have a small little bakery and I loved how they had alcohol stuff, but it was minimal and it was less in my face. As a person who's trying to stay sober, I really appreciated this. I definitely will be back and I'll be telling all my friends about this place. The food was hot, came fast and super filling. I hope next time I can talk to the chef so they can give me pointers on how to cook gluten free and dairy free dishes that are filling, because I'm struggling with that. 5 stars, hands down

It’s order at the front, then they bring items to the table for you. If you like Kombucha, they have a rotating homemade Kombucha flavor which they make very well. I always leave here with my tummy feeling great. I do think the portions are on the small side, so come here if you want to feel light after eating. So many delicious gluten free options, and the staff are attentive to your dietary needs which I really appreciate

Casey Cromwell

If you’re EVER near Denver, this is a must stop. I live in Colorado Springs and have already warned my partner that their gluten free Nutella pizza will be a pregnancy craving in the future we’re def driving for. 😂 They use gluten removed wheat starch from Italy (celiac safe but not safe for a wheat allergy) and separate prep areas and ovens for gluten free orders. Their fried eggplant is also one of the best meals I’ve ever had from a restaurant. They do have vegan cheese options too.

Alanna Reynolds

​El Five delivers a solid dining experience, especially for those navigating gluten and dairy-free diets. The staff is attentive and accommodating, ensuring dietary needs are met without fuss. While the prices are on the higher end, the food meets expectations, though it doesn't necessarily exceed them. The atmosphere is pleasant, but not particularly memorable. Overall, it's a reliable choice for a special night out, offering a menu that caters well to specific dietary requirements.

Jessica

So excited about their many gluten free, celiac safe options. I wasn't even expecting them to have anything for me to eat, as I was out with some friends. I ordered the burger with GF bun and GF fries (they have separate fryers and pans for the gluten free foods). And it tasted sooooo good. Very satisfied 😌

Paige Beach

Fly to Denver just to eat here. Outstanding gluten free options including pancakes, fries, soup. This place has 3 kitchens! One dedicated gf, one for vegetarian and a regular kitchen. Everyone around us raved about their food. It’s great to find a place that is gf and yummy for my non-gf friends. Eric was a fantastic waiter! We will stop by every time we come through!

Carlos Hernandez

Had dinner here not too long ago & made sure that there were items on the menu that were gluten free as my girlfriend has Celiac Disease. When we were sat, my girlfriend asked what items are gluten free (to be 100% safe) and he said "just tell me what you want and I'll see." then she asked if he's our waiter or someone else and he said "we all help each other". Ok. Then the wine list arrives and my gf then had to ask the gal helping us with wine what is gluten friendly on the menu. She was SUPER helpful. Clearly the gal that helped my gf with wine confronted 'our waiter' because for the rest of the night, he was overcompensating and being awkwardly talkative. We just wanted our food at that point. Then on top of all of those awkward interactions with our waiter.... he charged us for an extra bottle of wine we didn't drink. I then had to flag down a member of the staff to initiate a return/bill again while our Uber was out front waiting for this. Spent $500 on dinner which was great BUT the experience with the waiter ruined it. Cherry Creek Grill is the better choice, their staff is ON POINT.

Wolf Harvey

Fantastic gluten free food!

Richard Robinson

The best arepas since were in Miami. Large and filling and delicious with several fillings and options. Totally gluten free. Clean with several tables.

Gene Crout

Bartaco is the greatest. The fact that my gluten free and dairy sensitive wife can eat here safely just makes this place the best. The pork belly tacos are the best I have ever had, the duck is fantastic, I always get a teriyaki ribeye. Roasted pork is good. My wife loves the Baja fish.

The staff is beyond kind. Sitting at the sushi bar was a delightful experience. They have lots of gluten free options including California rolls which seems to be rare. Staff is careful with gluten free and marks plates clearly. Will be returning for the sampler!

Rob Wilson

Let me share the good stuff first. The staff is very hard working. The hostess greeted us immediately and was friendly. The food looked good and tasted ok to great. There was a bathroom. We were excited to go bc the one in our area shut down. They have a nice drink selection. The non-alcoholic beverages were great. The service was strong. Now on to the story. We were told the wait would be 10-15 minutes, and we could wait at the bar or upstairs. We sat at the bar, but the overworked bar tender told us we could not for drinks as not everyone was 21. OK. Outside it is. After about 30-40 minute wait our table was ready. Why was there a wait? Well, the hostess was our server and the one cleaning the tables. They were understaffed. No worries, it happens. There was only one bartender, so drinks would be slow. The food would be a bit to get there, which makes sense given staffing. The food looked good. The meatball sub was bland and a little overcooked. Tots were mushy. Neither teenager liked their pizza. The gluten-free pizza looked good and tasted good. However, shortly after, 3 out of 4 were not feeling well. I am not sure if it was the pear cider or the GF pizza, but I had a bad reaction after it. This would be a gluten reaction that is painful and takes a long while to recover. This was around a 2 hour affair, not including wait time. One more thing, just like a lot of places, the prices are much much higher than before. But not abnormal for the area. I really hope the place turns around and everyone has a better food experience than us. I am sorry to leave a poor review. I normally do not leave reviews like this.

Megan Dancer

This place is an anomaly. Amazing vibe, amazing food, great prices, and gluten free options. How there is only one of these is beyond me!

Amber Kuspiel

Their gluten-free options are amazing! Especially the pancakes, my non gluten free family love them too!

Claire Hunter

Perfect experience. Sold out matinee NYE event and Rachel managed to make us feel like we were the only people there. We had our own area to eat, drink, and celebrate my birthday. It's usually tough planning a birthday party on a holiday but Rachel made it the best executed birthday! Food was on point. The gluten free buns with he chicken sandwiches and gf pizza with pepperoni and hot honey were amazing. Separate fryer fries and caprese salad. Drinks were perfect. Sound system was so great. Love that this Denver gem is still great after all these years!

Gill Elliott

Best breakfast in Denver? Extensive menu, delicious food, gluten and dairy free options available - highly recommended!!

Melodye Feldman

Great staff, food is very fresh, lots of choice for vegans and gluten free, love the concept of keeping it local, sustainable, and great drink options. Can’t say enough good things about this place!

I had a pretty good burger but they did not have gluten free buns, which is odd for a craft burger joint. The fries were good but a little salty. The service was ok. The bar drinks were good.

Nancy Deal-Whitacre

My favorite place to eat at DIA- friendly service, reasonable prices, and gluten free bread and cookies!!

Margaret Mathews

Nicholas Nelson

Excellent good with gluten free menu and very knowledgeable staff

Emily Cahill

Urban Egg food is amazing, especially if you are celiac/gluten free! There are many options and they follow cross contact safety protocols. Have eaten here multiple times and never been sick afterwards.

Debbie Nelson

Always great food. And love that I can safely eat gluten free here. Server, Yazi, was great, attentive, timely.

Christine Talley

Generally very good food and service. I marked down a star because my companion, who is Celiac, was served a dish with a gluten contaminated garnish (which she caught before eating). Human error, but quite serious, nonetheless. Manager did take accountability and apologize.

Joshua B

The gluten free bread is great! My wife questioned if it was gluten free because of how good it was! No reactions so it definitely was!

Simon Myers

This place handles gluten free very well! My wife is celiac and we have never had an issue with cross-contamination. They are very accommodating for food allergies to take out certain ingredients.

Shannon E

I ordered the BLT on gluten free bread. Fast service - I ordered from the Togo window. I was glad for the quick service as my flight was going to leave in 35 minutes. It came in about 5 minutes

JoJo

Justin was absolutely amazing! Will come back just for his amazing service on top of the amazing (and gluten free food). He alP knew the wine menu flawlessly. My favorite place in Denver metro!

Brooke Engel

It’s always great here! My kids had spaghetti and meatballs and pizza, I had a gluten-free pizza, it was all excellent, and the service was great. It’s clean, super comfortable, good vibes, great specialty pizzas and gelato.

UPDATE YOUR MENU TO ACCURATELY REFLECT ALLERGENS If an item is marked GF on your menu (not GFO) it should not contain gluten. I inquired about the flavor of the mole enchiladas marked as gf on the menu. The cashier graciously offered to taste the sauce which was much appreciated. When I went to order it, I confirmed it was gf. Cashier told me the mole sauce I just tasted was recently changed to contain gluten. I’m pretty ticked off the menu was not updated. This is not the cashier's fault, but management should take this more seriously. Very frustrating and not the first time I've had a gluten issue here. On 2 prior occasions I ordered gf corn tortillas with the huevos and was given flour. Laxness around allergens has steered me away from future visits.

Kay Frances

The seafood was excellent! The PEI mussels tasted super fresh. The alcohol-free wine was great too. We had a wonderful evening. Not bad for a gluten-free Italian meal! The staff are very accommodating and welcoming.

Emily Grundhauser

My two friends who are regulars here took me in tonight. I’ve never had Indian food and told the waitress as much, and she recommended the perfect meal for me based on what I told her I liked. I loved the food here and was so happy to see the large variety of gluten free menu items. The friendly and prompt service and atmosphere was absolutely amazing here. It smells amazing and everything felt SO clean. They do an amazing job at everything they do at spice room!!

Fred Wallis

They menu and staff are also accommodating when it comes to gluten/dairy allergies. I had their weekly special ( huaraches ), and it didn’t disappoint! Fairly priced & delicious Mexican food.
