Top 45 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Fort Lauderdale

Kyla Hall

$$$$ Overpaid for food and drinks but our waiter was amazing! He happened to look like DJ Kaled 🤣 kept the drinks coming. The poor guac guy kept having to come back and give us more but it was worth it. Definitely wish there were more Gluten-free vegan options. I love the Orlando location a lot more (no offense) and there was no parking here besides valet or street.

Sat at the bar for happy hour, nice place for a snack and a drink! A few gluten free options, although not depicted on the menu. Server was helpful!

Scott Bryant

Great GF pasta and desert

Cara Bostrom

This was a great find! Everything was excellent - even for this gluten free traveler!

Incredible experience here, can’t say enough nice things and you should def check it out if in the area. Worth the wait to be seated. Outdoor deck overlooking the marina. I have a gluten allergy so the waitress and manager took very good care of me to make sure what I ordered was friendly. The scoobies are a must order! We ordered two because they were so good. All kinds of crabs you could ever want. Delicious spot thank you for a great dining experience.

I had a truly wonderful dinner here with family. The service was absolutely outstanding, everyone was so warm and welcoming! The food was sublime, loved the hummus, gluten free pita (also most of the menu could be made completely gluten free, even a GF fryer for the falafel!), the fattoush salad was out of this world, as was the swordfish and yoghurt chicken. The pavlova was mind blowing also!! The setting is very peaceful and the restaurant is tastefully decorated, I loved the outdoor terrace and the transitional lighting from day to night. One of my new favorite restaurants in Fort Lauderdale and will definitely return again soon!

Matthew Ward

Great atmosphere and food! Had the shrimp tacos which were delicious. The gluten free dumplings were great as well.

Hervin Alvarez

The gluten free pizza was phenomenal! So good! Expect to wait a bit for your food.

I came here for a networking event that was in a private room. The service was excellent, before I went into the room the waiter asked me if I wanted something to drink, besides the wine they were serving in the room. They had a nice assortment of food for us, cheese flatbreads, vegan burgers, hamburger sliders, asparagus, sauteed mushrooms, and my favorite gluten-free pizza (which was labeled). The atmosphere always has a happy buz to it.

Georgia Thompson

This establishment has great outdoor seating, amazing food & phenomenal staff!! Dinio & Tanzii were such a delight, they made our experience the best. The CEO burger is in my top 10 favorite burgers of all time, be sure to try it out!! Plus they have great gluten free options, which is a huge bonus. Overall, 10/10!

Buddy Glenn

Shooters was packed. Our service was great, kept up with our drinks, food was wonderful. We had 12 at our table and all were very pleased. Two ate gluten free and also enjoyed. We will go back!

Miranda Saumier

Has indoor and outdoor seating. Great live music! Great service and good for families. Lots of Gluten Free options on the menu! Take your receipt next door to their Tommy Bahama store for a discount on clothing!

Rachel R

We come here at least twice a week now! What appealed to us were the TONS of gluten free options, what kept us coming back was the staff. Antoine is always on top of things, fantastic service, he knows how to take care of you! He and Selena are amazing: great vibes, so fun to talk to. They work hard but never fail to give you a good time. Love the atmosphere, delicious food and they have several deals throughout the week. Great drink variety! highly recommend Tap 42 ✨ thanks for always giving us a superb experience!

Arthur Allen

We stopped by YOLO for a family celebration and it was spot-on from start to finish. The vibe is upbeat and classy, with a menu full of creative dishes and solid gluten-free options, our server knew them all. Definitely recommend making a reservation, this spot’s a South Florida gem!

Lucas Portela

The best 🍕 Gluten Free in Miami! Medium pizza (eats two) $17 👏

Deirdre Fehily

Amazing place, fabulous food, great choices for gluten free, genuine gluten options not just token choices. Highly recommended

From the Catskills to the World

We really enjoyed the place. The food was good. We really enjoyed the grilled calamari. The fresh pasta was tasty and the gluten free options worked well. The portions were decent, the atmospheric warm, with a nice mix of causal and good service. We would go there again in a heartbeat and will add it to our top food choices when in the area.

We live in the neighborhood and went for Christmas eve dinner. We were sat promptly our server seemed new and a little green but super friendly and smiled the whole way through service.Our table was big and roomy and very comfortable. The atmosphere was really nice We shared some sort of crostini appetizer. not too memorable but not bad.the. Entrees took a while to come out, maybe 1/2 hour from the time we finished our apps. Not the end of the world and they were apologetic. My main complaint with the restaurant was the food. My mother in law ordered a mushroom pizza. it was basic and bland , my wife was gluten free and was told the bronzino was ok to order. it had a lemon caper sauce on the menu which was left off, It was really only 1/2 a bronzino and when i say it was dry and over cooked im being polite. the fish looked as though it was over cooked to start with but then sat on some holding area for 1/2 hour. really bad dish, the pastas read so good on menu but i’m pretty sure the pesto in mine was store bought. i seasoned and just not good. my son also had a pasta made with no love. no cheese was or fresh pepper offered. i guess i was just surprised that a chain that spend so much money on a beautiful restaurant with a Name of North Italia would have such mediocre to bad food. all and all i wanted to like it but food is lacking and when it comes down to it i would rather sit at a tiny table if the food is great

Jenna V

Wow what a delicious meal! Wanted to try a few of the Japanese wagyu options and I’m so thankful we had Tony as our waiter! He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable on all things steak and wagyu. My fiance and I were happy have learned all about the different types of offerings, how the animals are raised, what their diets are, etc. I also have a gluten allergy and felt very safe eating there. Hendricks gimlet was fantastic too. Tony thank you for a wonderful experience and dinner - we will return back again because of you (and the delicious food too!)

My husband and I enjoy going out to dinner and do not mind paying for an experience that is worth it, Dune is most certainly not worth it. The service is subpar, the restaurant dirty and everything is overpriced. We recently went for dinner and sat at the bar, we had to ask the bartender to clean the bar, which was covered with food and spilled drinks. We then had numerous issues with our food and drink orders. My husband’s margarita had mojito spearmint. After explicitly saying my husband could not eat their fries because he has celiac, his steak came out with the fries instead of the substitute side he had requested. To make matters worse, my food came out about 15 minutes after my husband’s food came out and only after we asked for it 3 separate times. The delay in my order meant that we were unable to eat together. Overall, it was a terrible experience and no one apologized for the numerous mistakes and inconveniences that we encountered. I tried to reach to speak to the manager at least 3 times but they do not care enough to answer the phone or call back.

Spencer

A few nice gluten free options for celiacs

Laureen Ann Carreras

We Just returned from PR and enjoyed dinner at Cafe Vico. Good food and atmosphere, rest rooms are nicely decorated as well lol Chef Made special Meal for my Vegan and Gluten Free Niece and she enjoy it.

JAMES C

Ordered pad thai.. wasn't hot ..... and missing peanuts. Had to get another waiter to locate ours. Other than food and service, was clean. Not much choice for Gluten free entrees also.

Mark McLean

We've eaten at Sea Watch for years and usually had a very good experience. This time was very disappointing, both in the food and especially the service. We were given a very nice table outside as we requested. However our waitress was completely dismissive. It took nearly 30 minutes to just get waters at our table. We had to rely on other wait staff to answer questions and provide drinks. When she finally did show up, she took our order whereby I told her no less than 4 times that I had a gluten allergy. She even responded that she'd be sure to make a note of it. When the food came, it was not gluten free. Again I had to rely on another server to help correct the situation. Our server never once checked on us, brought us bread (that we asked for), or brought is drink refills. When I finally got my dinner (after everyone else at the table was finished, it was cold and the steak over cooked. Being that it was nearly 1 1/2 hours since being seated, I just gave up and ate some of it. Next, when I asked for a dessert menu, the server couldn't find one and rudely walked away. Now here's the best part, our server came to deliver the bill which was over $200. I would normally tip 20-25%. However in this case I tipped her about 5% (which was a gift, in my opinion). She even went so far as to blame me for not telling her of my gluten allergy. When when the table behind us (also very upset by the terrible service) vouched for me, she then blamed the other servers that were clearly trying to help her. As we were leaving, she was then standing at the upstairs bar chatting with a co-worker (which she did nearly all of the time she should have been waiting on us) at very loudly explained to co-workers and other customers of how insulted she was by the tip. I asked for a manager and after waiting 10 (after the place had closed), I was told he wasn't available. We've always enjoyed this place, but this experience has soured us. The host desk was completely disorganized with 3 ladies arguing with each other. I think management needs to see what's really going on with the experiences at this place. Our entire section became a community with our mutual contempt for the terrible service. Sea Watch....you're better than this. There is no excuse for so many families to have such a bad experience.

Marissa Lake

I wanted to give a shoutout to Matthew. After our server was a little dismissive about my sister’s severe gluten allergy (celiac), we flagged down a manager and Matthew came through for us! He talked to the kitchen, reminded our server, and brought her meal out separately. It made us very confident it wasn’t cross contaminated and I truly appreciate it as that can be hard to find at a table service restaurant. His going above and beyond will have us coming back the next time we are in town!

Mila Cardoze

They offer plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. I tried the cauliflower buffalo wings, which were delicious with a slight kick of spice. Then I ordered a hamburger from the lunch menu (since the dinner menu only offers the regular burger with eggs, I requested the lunch version). To finish, I indulged in their amazing brownie and ice cream dessert.

Sal DiNicola

Great find. Really good food at reasonable price. Wife had gluten free pasta.

Milton Jackson

Krystal

#1 GLUTEN FREE recommendation in Fort Lauderdale!!! They were so accommodating and knowledgeable about gluten!! They have hibachi and sushi options!

Lauren Tackett

We had fantastic drinks with the strawberry daiquiri and amazing food including the mahi mahi sandwich with a gluten free bun (fire) and coconut shrimp. not to mention, the incredible views! Kaitlyn, our waitress, was great, we loved her!

Hannah Ruben

Incredible experience... everything (the atmosphere, food, and service) was exceptional. I eat gluten free and dairy free, and our waitress was very attentive to my dietary needs and made sure the dishes I chose were safe. She was very friendly and helpful. The ambiance and decor were beautiful and inviting, love the nautical theme. We enjoyed oysters, filet mignon, and salmon. Everyone loved their food, we can't wait to come back next time we're in town! It is a great place for celebrating special occasions.

Beth Gold

What a FUN experience. I loved the speakeasy vibe of the bar and the bartender happened to be someone from my hometown! Collin was excellent and we ordered a few drinks and a fig and prosciutto pizza, gluten free crust, which was also excellent and tasty!

Amy Reynolds

The service here is professional and perfect. Every morsel of food, every sauce, dessert, everything was perfect. We celebrated 3 birthdays at once and the graciousness of the staff, the lovely surroundings, and the delicious food will make this special occasion take its place in our history book. This is hands down the best Chinese food I’ve ever had, and I am also grateful that they had many gluten free options for me to enjoy.

Clara Hyland-Williams

Mark McKay- manager- was beyond amazing and took my gluten free dietary restrictions seriously. He came over and was incredibly kind and accommodating. Food was phenomenal. 10/10 experience and staff

Allan De Leon

Absolutely great place! Is worth the drive from Miami to this beautiful place, parking easy and the plaza makes it perfect spot to chill plus pizza is really delicious and they even have vegan and gluten free option. Our bartender Jude was amazing, he made sure our first time visit was 100% nop toch. Absolutely coming back again

Sandy Baker

Great first experience! We did happy hour ~ such a deal. Meatballs are delicious, Cesar really good including anchovies, wings were juicy with a nice glaze plus the Vodka penne (gluten free) was A WINNER, especially when covered with fresh grated cheese. Our server, Ashley, was terrific. Highly recommend.

K.C Hager

A beautiful blend of Mediterranean spices, flavors and atmosphere. Lots of vegetarian and gluten free food options as well as a variety of meats too. Adrianna was very attentive and helpful making suggestions for us to try. All the serving, wait staff were on top clearing dishes and making sure drinks did not run dry. Overall, kudos to the Olives and Sea experience.

Gordana Richardson

Great selection of beers, even gluten-free beers (2 options). Decent food and prices.

Amanda Dean

HOMEMADE corn tortillas! THE BEST street tacos I’ve ever had. And the SWEET TAMALES! I’m gluten free and it tasted like a gf bread pudding but better. The owner and his wife were so kind and it felt like eating in their home versus their restaurant. Next time I come to Ft. Lauderdale for a cruise, I will be coming back!

Bruce Moore

MACA MOCHI

Great place, we are happy to be part of it!! A lot of great food, drinks and entertainment! Stop by for our delicious gluten free macarons and mochi!!

Alexander Goreham

Came here to celebrate our babymoon / Valentine's Day! We loved our dinner! My wife really enjoys her non-alcoholic drink and my mojito was awesome. We both got king lobster and it was delicious! Our waitress was knowledgeable about Celiac disease/Gluten-free options. This made us feel comfortable and safe eating food knowing that we will not get sick. We came a bit early, and it was nice and quiet in the restaurant. Eating early... Benefit of having a pregnant wife 😁. The waitress was really sweet, and gave us a free dessert in helping us celebrate our upcoming childbirth. I unfortunately cannot remember her name. I want to say Ashley or Jessica maybe? Highly recommend as a special occasion celebration!

Peter MacDonald

Our meals were excellent. Our server Aleyda was knowledgeable about the menu and provided gluten free options. She even checked with the kitchen on an item to see if they could make it GF. Definitely will return.

* I’ve noticed the owner tends to respond rudely to feedback—now I’ve experienced it firsthand. I’m lowering my rating due to the lack of constructive responses. Focusing solely on the ‘water’ part of a review misses the bigger picture. What about addressing the issue of cold food or responding in a more professional, less defensive manner? Customer feedback should be an opportunity for growth, not an excuse for defensiveness. —————————— The place is very nice inside, and our server was excellent—attentive and friendly. I’d give him 5 stars for his service. However, I personally wasn’t too impressed with the overall experience, as the food was just okay for me. One thing I appreciated was how accommodating they were with allergies—they made sure to help me find something I could eat. What We Ordered: SWEET LONG PEPPER - $20 Stuffed with wagyu beef • This dish was very tasty and flavorful, but unfortunately, it was cold when it arrived, which made it less enjoyable. I didn’t mention it to the staff. Since I can’t have gluten, they made it without breadcrumbs, which I appreciated. THE BROOKLYN - $22 Traditional New York-style cheese pie with pepperoni • Honestly, it was nothing special. We had a larger group at our table, and others ordered different dishes. They seemed happy with their food, but I still felt like the experience was just okay overall. One thing to note: they charge $1 for tap water. While it’s not a huge amount, I don’t think customers should be charged for tap water. Yes, they serve it in a cute bottle, but plenty of restaurants do the same without charging extra. That said, I was impressed by how quickly they replaced our water—it was clear they were on top of service.

Samantha Borgese

Samantha is the best associate at bodega. She is not only kind, courteous, and helpful but she is also the most genuine person here. I have a gluten allergy and she not only knew exactly how to serve me but also made me feel great about having an allergy.
