Top 14 Gluten-Free Bars to Unwind in Honolulu

After my spiel, they reassured me both over the phone and in person that they were able to serve Celiacs with confidence. It took me literally two bites and a speed run to the washroom to realize that was completely untrue. I left the meal 98% untouched, and informed the server that the food had made me ill and that we needed to pay ASAP so I could go back to my private hotel bathroom. Paid for everything and left in tears - the staff didn’t even apologise or offer to comp my meal. Was a great last night for our vacation. Slay Noi Thai

After 2 days of hardly finding any gf food to eat, I found this place and it was SO delicious!!! I ordered a veggie omelet and gf pancakes and I almost cried it was so flavorful and filling. Absolutely fantastic.

Absolutely loved our meal here! I have celiac disease and our server Nico was extremely knowledgeable about options that would be safe for me. I got the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and it was devine! I would highly recommend dining here, especially if you are celiac or gluten intolerant!

No frills restaurant with very good food, staff was very knowledgable and able to cater for our coeliac daughter (which we found to be a struggle in other restaurants around Waikiki). Food was lovely, great place for a quick meal.

We have loved coming to Duke’s for years. Our family of 11 made reservations and I was skeptical I would be able to find anything to eat with them because my baby has a ton of food allergies. Thankfully I brought her own food, but was still amazed I could find anything for myself to eat that was dairy free, egg free, gluten free, nut free… Fiodor, I hope I am spelling his name right, is incredible. He was incredibly patient with me and helped me find something to eat. His whole service was amazing! I got the ahi with gluten free shoyu and white rice substituted. It tasted incredible! Instead of ordering something bland with all the sauces removed I got a very tasty meal. I was very thankful for that. The negative is for $49 it was only three small pieces of ahi. While I thoroughly enjoyed it, I was really hungry by the time we got home. For $49 you should really not go away hungry. The other dishes had plenty of food. Duke’s and really all of Waikiki has gotten so expensive though and they seem to have removed more affordable options from the menu. My cousin was bragging about the burgers and brown lager and neither are on the menu anymore. His prime rib was good, but really lean, not much fat. My husband’s huli huli chicken was fine, nothing special, but $30 something. The hula pie is to die for though. I went for a walk on the beach while they enjoyed their pie and get a break from the noise. It is very noisy under the roof area and with the loud music. It is way less noisy if you can sit in the lower outdoor area with no roof. Not sure how to get reservations down there. We have never gotten the privilege to eat in that area. Of course it is a breathtaking setting. We would go again for lunch or if the food at that price were more worth it or if they expanded their menu. The quality is fine, but not worth it at that price point. You are paying to sit on Waikiki and if that is worth it then go for it.

Appreciate the gluten free options

Best gluten free brownie on the planet. Top it with the sesame seed gelato.

The mochi crusted fish was just the ticket for this gluten-free dinner...yum!

They have separate vegan and gluten free menus that were super helpful. Lovely atmosphere, delicious food, and quick service.

Vegan and gluten free food and alcohol options. Host was knowledge and very sweet.

The food and service at La Mer was nothing short of amazing. Each course had a level of depth and flavor unmatched anywhere else on Oahu. They accommodated my gluten free diet as well as my fiancée’s vegan diet and still made everything perfect. Thank you to the staff and manager who served and greeted us, Steve, Atila, Scott, and Nick.

The icy atmosphere... supposedly they had a gluten-free option and alternatives but they only offered me one dish. They brought me beef rice in a bowl without even a plate below, but it was an acidic mixture with a terrible combination of flavors... no bread... no cookies... 1 is too big...

Having a gluten allergy can make dining out difficult, but almost their entire menu can be made this way. Super friendly staff and by far best meal I had on my 2 week vacation. Incredible drinks as well.
