Top 35 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in River North, Chicago

An outrageously delicious & positive experience eating lunch here today. Mia took exceptionally good care of us – my mom is celiac, and was so thrilled with the level of attention and care she got. On top of that, the food was showstoppingly good! The chicken kebabs, falafel, hamachi and hummus were all 10/10.

Gluten free options are great. I've eaten here twice and haven't been sick. GF food comes out with marker. Symptomic Celiac

So amazing! The chefs and server were so catering to my Celiac disease. Amazing food :)

Antoinette Bello

Great vegan restaurant. Hard to find a restaurant that serves plant based options on the menu, but this place serves 100% plant based dishes. There are gluten free options also and if you have nut allergies, they will accommodate you.

Rachel Wadkins

Everything we ordered was great. Service was amazing. One of us has a severe gluten allergy and our server paid extra attention to her dishes. Can't wait to go back again!

Jessica Horn

Gluten sensitivity but server was VERY knowledgeable about ensuring food safety. Music was amazing. Outdoor dining clean and fun. Highly recommended.

Tzuco is an upbeat and elegant dining experience in the heart of River North, Chicago. However, there were only 2 gluten free items on the entire menu. I ordered the Mayan Ceviche (to make gluten free, ask for plaintain chips on the side) and my friend ordered the Albondigas en Calldillo (not gluten free). Both were extreme tasty with layers of flavor, but pretty spicy. Overall, if you’re gluten free, maybe look elsewhere. Tzuco is definitely going to be standout if you’re not gluten-free and willing to spend enough to order multiple dishes (to feel satisfied) and not hungry afterwords. The atmosphere itself was lively and exciting, and not too loud so I could still hear my friend. A good place for work dinners or celebrations!

Good gluten free options for my child.

Janet

Wow! they really have the best vegan gluten free pancake🥞!!! tofu scrambler-eggless was delicious and wholesome. Big portions great value of your money. Amparo managed to take care of many customers with a very kind attitude, calm, charming, knowledgeable and extremely good on what she does. Eric and the rest of the staff are so friendly.

Sarah W

Delicious tapas restaurant with plenty of GF options you just need to confirm with your server about cross contact

Kay Clements

I stopped in one time when I was passing through using Amtrak and it was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for offering gluten-free optionsn

Despite knowing the dish I wanted couldn't be made gluten free, they accommodated my request and were able to make it as gluten free as possible. The blood orange mimosas were amazing and we didn't have to wait long to get refills on our drinks. The manager came around to check on the tables which made it that much more personable.

Mary Wenthur

I got the tuscan scramble and it was DELICIOUS. I’m not a huge fan of breakfast foods sometimes but this was a fantastic mix of an Italian pasta and egg. With cheese, sun dried tomatoes, pesto, and chicken. No labels for gluten free items.

Wendy Miller

Gluten free fried chicken!! Delicious GF menu including desserts! Came here for my birthday and left ordering another portion of the fried chicken to go, yes that's how good it was. It has been years since i had proper GF fried chicken. Service was a 10 and the atmosphere very cozy and elegant. Def recommend and will be back💜

Taryn H

The everything bagel was so delicious. I made a sandwich with it for my fiancé and he loved it! Donuts were also great, the gluten free donut in particular was amazing. Super moist and flavorful.

William Hu

Admittedly pricey even for a raw vegan restaurant, but overall fantastic raw vegan food! I'm also impressed that they even changed the pizza to make it gluten free using Cassava! My only complaint, albeit a big one, is I wish they used maple syrup or monk fruit instead of agave nectar. Best raw vegan restaurant in Chicago hands down!

Ellie Dombrowski

Only one vegan option :( gluten free waffles were very good!

Megan Benjamin

Great vibe, good view. I can imagine it gets quite loud in here, but great for 12 on a Saturday after the brunch crowd clears out. 10/10 on the gluten free bun for my cheeseburger. So many gf options!

Tara R.

Great customer service. The best, most moist, crave worthy gluten free blueberry muffin I have ever had. I absolutely loved eating it. And will be dreaming of that muffin. Chai tea was tasty, no up-charge for soy milk is awesome.

Mike Moran

Rosebuds was recomended by a friend in Philly as an Italian place Frank Sinatra ate. I don't know it was this one as several were listed, but this one was great I sat in the covered heated patio and eas very comfortable. Nothing exotic in terms of food but had gluten free pasta, did add some chicken for protein, in delicious marina sauce. Had dairy free sorbet for dessert. Lovely server and it was great experience. Would love to go back.

Heather Kralik

Really enjoyed this place! Lots of gluten free options - baked goods and substitutions. The staff is knowledgeable and even had a binder of laminated menu items with their allergy items listed. The GF lemon bar was excellent and my son enjoyed the Krispy treat. Highly recommend!

Marybeth Arenas

We were cheerfully greeted and seated quickly. The food was delivered to our table really quickly as well. Everything was fresh and delicious. They offer a great gluten free toast option as well.

Robert Kelly

Nice outdoor seating. Food is very good and lots of gluten-free options. Eddie our waiter was awesome, thanks! One recommendation for management: add Lalo or another additive-free tequila. Casamigos is a big seller but objectively not a good quality tequila

jackie errico

We had a great time! Very accommodating for gluten allergy! Great vibes.

Jaclyn Marie

Amazing food, experience, and ambiance! The best gluten free and diary free burger in Chicago and that I have ever had in my lifetime. They have beef and veggie burgers options; both are divine. The gluten free bread is exceptional! I have life threatening allergies and feel completely safe eating at Travelle. They take allergies very seriously and go above and beyond to make sure you are happy and enjoy the experience. One time they made me a mango, honey, vanilla bean, almond milk smoothie… it was so delicious they should put it on the menu! I can’t duplicate it. It would be a nice sweet treat for the gluten and diary clients. Travelle is located at the Langham hotel. I recommend a spa day there at Chuan spa then going to the restaurant. It creates a perfect day. As a gluten and diary free person; it’s very hard to go to a restaurant and feel satisfied. It’s so special to me that Travelle cares about allergies and being inclusive for all types of people. Thank you Travelle team and Mr. Zamora for everything you do!

Food was really good and the space was well decorated but the service could have been better. I wanted to try some of their desserts but needed to make sure they were vegetarian. After a long arduous debate with two servers who I had to argue with that vegetarian options are not the same as vegan or gluten free, I was initially told the desserts I wanted had gelatin. When I asked to speak to the chef to confirm, after initially resisting they called the chef who informed them that all desserts were vegetarian. I would expect the restaurant to know the difference between something like this or to confirm from the chef straight away.

Stephen Suydam

I was recommended this place by a friend and I had to try their sandwiches. I had the burger with bacon and it was tasty. The mustard was great with it. I ordered it with no bun because my wife has a gluten allergy. I think the brioche would have really made it 5 stars. Staff was friendly and good people sitting at the bar with us.

This place is top notch and when you step in this place it's like going back in time to the diners of the 50s 🇺🇸 Plus they are up to modern times with gluten-free bread ✌🏼

Rich Hill

Food was great that I could eat being gluten free, this place was one of my need to go places after learning that Rick Bayless owned it

David Aleman

At first I was unsure on how the night would go, as the hostess was not very welcoming but that soon changed when we told to go upstairs to meet our group. The service there was amazing and very accommodating to a member of our party who was gluten intolerant. The food was amazing and so we're the drinks.

Dustin Eggerding

Was visiting from out of state. This place is kind of classy when it comes to the menu but they do have a stripped down one with burgers. Staff was super knowledgeable when it came to Celiac Disease. Even brought me my own gluten free toast when they brought everyone else their normal bread. They do not have a dedicated gf fryer, but they do have a dedicated gf toaster! The food was decent but the service was great!

David B

Fantastic food and flavors. I don't usually go for chicken on my pizza. But I'm never not going to order the chicken on my pizza here. They make it taste so good! Also, GLUTEN FREE pizza crust that's crispy! Staff is super friendly as well.
