Top 50 Gluten-Free American Spots to Enjoy in New Orleans

Ester Martinez

Egg, sausage, fruit and English muffin was delicious!

Tina Perez

The food and service were fantastic. I had an excellent meal. All of the fried seafood is gluten free. This place is a gem. Best seafood in NOLA.

Heather Gavrish

Busy on the weekends but great food and lots of gluten-free options with friendly service.

Erika Kinder

Food was amazing, service was alright, they have a Gluten free menu available and knowledgeable staff.

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!

Gregory Anderson

Offers a few gluten free options. Normally excellent service, but this last time was meh. Food it pretty good.

matt scott

Ordered the burger, medium rare, and it was burnt. Order a gluten-free bun, which is normally good, but this one was so hard. I couldn’t bite into it. Ordered the chard cauliflower and it was barely cooked. Complete waste of money.

Sam Kaufmann

Victoria recommends the steak tacos to her fellow gluten free eaters.

Erin Carriel

We wanted Fabulous local food and Sylvain’s did not disappoint! We had the Pappardelle Bolognese and Striped Bass which were both delicious, we also had the Fried Cauliflower which was a wonderful surprise!! Our server Chris was knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. They were able to accommodate my gluten free restrictions, including dessert…a coconut crème brûlée! The ambiance was intimate and beautiful, we loved everything about this restaurant and highly recommend it!

My husband ordered a cup of gumbo and the combination platter. He bit into shell fragments twice. The bread was not very flavorful. To top it off he ended up with severe food poisoning. I’m celiac and ordered jambalaya from the gluten free menu and also ended up with diarrhea. Didn’t make a great impression seeing that it was our first time in Louisiana.

Nick Hall

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

Kyla

Shrimp and grits was delicious! Good service, good food, celiac friendly options, outdoor seating options

Michael Zegarski

Wonderful breakfast place. They have much gluten free as well (ya gotta use their online menu not the printed one). Went back a 2nd day because of Kelli and Trish. Great service...awesome breakfast! Yum 😋

Ricardo R

We waited 40mn for a table for a late dinner. The person at the reception wasnt the friendliest but we were hungry. BIG SHOUT-OUT to Paul on the merch side to be kind enough to talk to us while we waited! We finally got a table and ended up waiting 15/20 mn to get a server. Wasnt too thrilled about that. Server was nice and informative on food allergies though. They have a gluten free menu available, but the seasoned fries weren't gluten free, needs updated. We got a burger and a pulled pork sandwich with green beans sub for fries. Overall wasnt impressed with the food specially for the price. Manager came to check on us and we ended up talking about music and tattoos! Memorabilia was interesting on the walls.

Charles Kuney

Been coming to Nola for Mardi Gras for the past three years running, and never miss a chance to eat at Another Broken Egg. Food is great, awesome gluten-friendly selection for us gluten-sensitive folk! Ask for Jenny!!

Aleksei Moniz Mirov

The food was very tasty with good sized portions -- I had the cheese enchiladas and my partner had the street tacos in jerk chicken and adobo. The jerk chicken was incredible. The music was super loud, which I wasn't a fan of, and the servers were laid back, which I don't mind but some people don't like. There were a lot of drink specials and an abundance of vegetarian options on the menu, and eating gluten free was very easy. We'll definitely be back.

Jessica Coffey

I came here on a girls trip and had the best experience with Kay! She was so kind and helpful with helping me find the best gluten free meal for me. I went with an omelet and potatoes and it was delicious!

Patrick G

A cute little breakfast place with friendly staff with a very creative selection of donuts. Their breakfast sandwiches are, frankly, amazing. I got a turkey sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit. It may sound weird, but the eggs were the best part. They were succulent and creamy and honestly the best eggs I've ever had on a breakfast sammy. The raspberry cheesecake donut was decadent with chunks of crunchy graham cracker crust and a raspberry astride a raspberry iced donut with light, fluffy cheesecake filling. You can also see the entire cook process, with the baking station in the back, The grill station in the middle, and the coffee station up front next to the register by the door. I enjoyed watching them make kolaches while I chomped on my massive donut. They do have a gluten-free option or two, but I didn't ask about cross-contamination. Highly recommend.

Nancy Linehan

Outstanding food and staff were so friendly. Our server, Melanie, was SO sweet and took great care of our folks who needed gluten free. Run here and enjoy! Thank you Melanie for a great time! ❤️❤️

Jordan Lightfoot

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

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.

Aline Sarria

Amazing restaurant all around. We sat at the bar for brunch. The waiter consulted with the chef to make sure my food was gluten- free. Everything was delicious.

Del Ray 123

In New Orleans during an historic snow storm today and everywhere within walking distance of our Airbnb was closed, except this little gem of a diner serving delicious breakfasts and sandwiches, with vegetarian and gluten free options should one wish. Really good food and absolutely delightful staff. Definitely worth a visit anytime, but especially appreciated on this rare wild snowy day. Thank you for being open!

Shereen Bickham

Food was fresh, fries tasted great. I didn't try to avocado bacon burger but the avocado was sliced thick and looked good. Gluten free bun was not soft. No ice for water. No employees in floor except to pass out food. Plenty of employees behind counter. They were very nice at counter though. Place was clean looking. No kid meals on menu.

kari horowitz

Truly incredible food and ambiance, plenty of GF options on the menu!

Bill Desmond

We stopped here for breakfast. Then, we chose to try their Beigntes. They came 4 on the plate. And although there is a more famous place on New Orleans that makes them we tried both. Both my wife and I feel this place makes the best Beigntes so far. Properly made dough and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend them. Now digging into my Boudin omelet and her bourbon street breakfast. The Boudin omelet is great. It is light and fluffy. The hashbrowns are freshly grated and not over processed. My wife's pancakes are crazy good. I try to stay away from gluten, but I would eat these cakes and deal with the side effects without complaining. Hell yes, I drank the Boubon at 9:15am. No, I do not have a drinking problem. Bourbon while having some spice was smooth. If you are on New Orleans, put Cafe Fleur De Lis on your list to have for breakfast. Love it and will be back next time we are in New Orleans. It's really good.

I've actually been living in the same block as Coquette for a year now and because I have Celiac (gluten free required diet) I was apprehensive about trying this restaurant. I'm now kicking myself for waiting so long. I had a work dinner there the other night and was absolutely blown away by the service, the knowledge of our server about what was actually gluten free (without cross contamination), and the caliber of the incredible dishes that I had. I could rant and rave about the food all day and night and while I do have limited options when I dine out, I don't have a pallet that's easy to blow my mind. Well, Coquette blew my mind. Every dish I had was incredible and what's more is that our server quickly, kindly, and assuredly pointed out everything on the menu that was safe. I had the pan roasted cauliflower (best cauliflower dish I've ever had), little gem salad (made gf), and the duck. Each plate was better than the last and there was that extra amount of assurance from the server that everything was truly gluten free that made the meal that much more incredible. Maybe this review is more impactful for folks that need a gluten free diet but I'll stand by the fact that regardless of the extra awesome gluten free experience that I had, anyone would be blown away by the depth of flavor and complexity of the dishes at Coquette. If you're a Celiac though, it's transformative.

Rosemed Miami

Really cute cafe with delicious food we had the crab meat omelette (must have) shrimp and grits (must have) gumbo soup, biscuit sandwich and migas. Fresh squeeze juices were great. The biscuits are made from scratch and wonderful. No gluten free bread but there are some gluten free and vegan options in the menu. Cute vibe inside. No reservations so be prepared to wait but it’s soo worth it.

Deena Abbe

I wish I had pictures to show you; the portions (even the apps and small plates) were huge! Awesome Bloody Mary, great service. Very fresh food (able to make mine gluten free) and not expensive. Will definitely recommend coming here!

Grace Su Ming

Great venue with lots of food options including vegan, vegetarian and gluten free. When we were there was amazing local musicians! Very NOLA experience!

Christina A

Ann Marie & Ashley were wonderful in accommodating my special diet needs (celiac). Thank you

Mike Lappa

Outstanding dining experience, both small and large plates. Service was excellent, food arrived hot and was both delicious and had a wonderful presentation. A real find, that offers both indoor and a pleasant, protected outdoor dining. Finally, they were most accommodating of my wife's need for Gluten-Free options.

Becky Morgan

This was a great find in a recent trip to New Orleans. The food and service were amazing. They were able to point me to several gluten free options. I was able to eat any of the specialty oysters without breadcrumbs. The red snapper dish was also gluten free and delicious. The cocktails were fun, too.

James Douglas

It's basic food with a casual atmosphere. Decent amount of options on the menu that can accommodate kids plus gluten free options. Music was up so loud conversation was very difficult but everyone was friendly yet not overly attentive. Having 8 different items on the menu nothing was bad but nothing that was great either. Stop in and expect to get full at a fair price.

Chris Brussow

Service was over the top, food was good enough. Had trouble finding gluten free options, but they bent over backwards to make sure I got what I needed. Great meal in the end. Kitchen was far less cooperative than the front end, but the server and the hostess fought for me, lol.

Dayna Oscherwitz

This restaurant is fabulous. Everything was delicious. Service was fantastic. They accommodated a gluten sensitivity with no problem. Highly recommended!

Debbie Kilpatrick

Absolutely awesome Red Beans and Rice! So excited that he was aware of Gluten issues 💖 Def will be back!

Betty G

Definitely check this place out! Lots of delicious things to buy and take home. I came and ordered a board of 5 items, and let them decide what cheese and meat I got. It was so delicious, and the person that brought it out to me explained what everything was. Also lots of gluten free options! I got gluten free crackers, and they had gf bread also for sandwiches. I wish I lived here so I could come more!

Nick Hall

Breakfast brunch. Gluten free bread option and drinks

Lori Rowden

Just had a wonderful lunch. Chicken and mushroom tacos are delicious. It is very accommodating for gluten-free, and my yellow Labrador enjoyed a few dog biscuits from our waiter:)))

K F

Our waitress was Haley and she was the most sweet person ever. She checked in with us and even gave me salt when she saw me looking for it! As someone who cannot eat gluten she walked me through what is gluten free and it made the experience so fun. I recommend trying this restaurant if you are near, we will be returning.

Laura Lee

Omg!!! I would eat here again in a heartbeat. Lindsey our server was the absolute bomb-she helped guide us through the menu (especially providing me with gluten free options) and made some great suggestions. We had the double pork chop and shrimp and grits with Sangiovese wine -superb! Fantastic meal - best shrimp and grits I’ve ever had!!! Gluten free brownie was so most and full of chocolate flavor. Top notch place!!!

Amy Johnston-Ward

My daughter had food allergies (gluten, dairy) and our server, Simone was awesome! She made notes for the kitchen staff and made sure that My daughter’s meal was safe. Excellent service!!!

Michael Druschel

Had the local swordfish. Was cooked perfectly. Nice medley of local flavors. Very friendly wait staff. Good for gluten free considerations. Creme brulee is very delicately delivered in a white chocolate bowl, which is nice. Dessert is small but very enjoyable.

Nancy Kane

We had a party of five and they gladley accomidated my friends scooter. The Monte Cristo and Ruben sandwiche's were a hit. They have a special menu for gluten free and vegiterians. I ordered the vegie cobb salad, when it came it had bacon and ham on it. They quickly made me a new salad. The service was a little slow, but I think that was the kitchen and bar staff. Our server was awesome.

GEARS-N-GREASE

Delicious. Luckily stumbled across this gem unexpectedly. Some of the best breakfast we had during our stay over a week. Gluten and lactose free options. Everyone in our 8 person group, including kids were very happy.

Julia

Friendly fast service and they always accommodate my gluten allergy by frying my tenders naked.

Geneva Seana Rosenthal

Cute, delicious, accommodated our allergy needs/gluten free

Nessie H

We came here for dinner with the family, party of 7. The service was absolutely wonderful. They spaced out appetizers, dinner, and dessert very well. The server was knowledgeable about the food being served and was very confident in her knowledge and overall just conducted herself very well. She was attentive to our needs and checked on us to ensure we wanted for nothing while we were there. The wine was excellent, and the coffee was excellent. I had the calamari, filet mignon and crème brûlée, all of which had gluten free options. I was so excited that they had gluten free calamari, as I have not had it in so long, it was a lovely fresh breath of air for me!

Marcus Joseph

Everything about this place is great and fits. Atmosphere is cool/great for all ages, nice server, gluten free friendly, and man does the food taste great. Saw fish tacos were recommended by another review…yeah, best fish tacos I’ve ever had. Fresh fish, swapped out flour for corn tortillas, when cupped everything fit perfectly…and definitely filling. Got it with yellow rice. (Which was only *slightly* dry.) 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
