Top 17 Gluten-Free Bars to Unwind in Portsmouth

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.

First time going for lunch on a Saturday and it was a great experience! The service was wonderful and the food and drinks were delicious. I consider the menu to be more “modern” Mexican with some really cool and unique offerings and solid portions. I highly recommend the confit pork belly taco, masa fried shrimp taco, and OG tofu taco. 🌮 I also love that their soft shells are made from gluten-free blue corn tortillas and that they have vegetarian options as well. Very eager to go back and try their brunch!

Stopped in after hitting up the Kittery Outlets. Went around 3:00 so the place was close to empty. The food and drinks were AMAZING. I got the Burger with an adult milk shake. My wife (gluten free) got the Reuben burger with the apple pie margarita. My wife said it was one of the best burgers she's ever had. Server was accommodating with my wife's gluten allergy and to d came out quick. We will be coming back ASAP.

A go to place for the Gluten Free folks in our family. Most of the battered/fried seafood option have a GF variant that's really well done. Overall high quality and great location.

Food and service was amazing! They do a fantastic job and had great gluten free options for my girlfriend. Highly recommend.

Great gluten free options!! I loved today’s visit. I ordered the fun size veggie Bennie with a side of corned beef hash. The hash was on the spicy side which was to my taste. . The Cemita sandwich and speciality fries lived up to the positive reviews. Apologies the picture was taken after enjoying 1/2 the meal.

Hearth boasts an impressive exterior and gorgeous interior. It is warm and opulent, with cafeteria style dining. Given few gluten free options, I ordered in the cafe/ bakery section: a turkey BLAT sandwich on gluten free bread; it came with house made pickle slices and chips. It was not clear if the fryer was dedicated for chips or gluten free foods. I waited about 15 minutes for my sandwich before seeing it sitting on the counter in front of the cashier; he had not called my name. The sandwich was tasty, but $15 felt steep. I noticed bus bins full of dirty dishes and overflowing trash. I really wanted to enjoy my lunch at Hearth, but for me, it wasn't worth the visit.

I’ve only ever gotten takeout here but the food is always good. I LOVE that they have a gluten free crust that isn’t the crunchy thin kind. And their salads and dressings are always fresh and yummy!

Overall the food was good. We were two families. We ordered a variety of dishes. Many dishes for children and in general. A very rich menu. Gluten free pizza made from cauliflower dough was not good. Not fully done. We did not enjoy it. We also ate the fish and chips dish better than it. Felt not made on the spot but more of a frozen bag. The burger was good. Good pizza too. The chips as a side dish were spicy and very salty. disappointment. By and large we ate in better places. I don't particularly recommend coming.

I called and spoke with GM and Chef of the kitchen Zac. I work at Win Waste Innovations and talked them about catering for us and the food was nothing less than remarkable. The steak tips were perfect, cauliflower was tremendous, and they provided a perfect spread. They were about to accommodate with vegan dishes, gluten free options and much more. I will be ordering again as they were a fan favorite of ours and just wanted to make sure a huge thank you went out to the GM and kitchen team!!!

Great gluten free options and the manager delivers it to you to make sure you know it’s safe for you!

Best take out pizza I have had in a while. I am Gluten sensitive, and am often disappointed with soggy gf crusts.The GF crust at Jitto's was delicious, nice and crispy and topping yummy. My husband had a regular crust pizza and was just as happy.

Kris Laansma

Great view on the water. Decent food (had the fried haddock). Gluten free breading which was a plus.

Smaller than I expected, so get there early. I'm torn as to which was the best mussels or the fresh, out of the shell oysters? No problem I got both! Gluten free was no issue either, yeah. We'll definitely be back
