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.

I have Celiac and almost every dish can be made gluten free. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The Kale and Beet salad was killer, and for dinner, I had the Arrabbiata with gf pasta, gulf shrimp, cherry tomatoes, capers and calabrian chili. I would love to have tried it with the squid ink pasta... damn gluten! Either way, it was truly amazing. The Panna Cotta with local strawberries and balsamic did not disappoint. Fabulous place, fun atmosphere, maybe a little loud. Overall I'd give 10/10.

One of the distinguishing features of this - of all French Quarter New Orleans restaurants is that the menu is designed to have dedicated gluten free options for classics like fried seafood. It also happens to have an excellent gf/df spin on a traditional Shrimp Creole, with an addicting bed of vegetables, including some bright and punchy pickled peppers that just make the entire dish pop. As someone with food allergies, this being my first food stop in NO has set the bar super high for me. (Sorry, no photo - ate it all too fast!)

I would give 6 Stars if I could. For an early morning breakfast, there is no other option near the French Quarter. Whole menu available for breakfast.. you can get a curry, a salad or traditional breakfast and smoothie / juice. Menu clearly marked for gluten free and nourishing vegetarian options. Very very delicious and friendly service. Fast and low prices considering all the ingredients. Nice decor and truly an oasis! PS, you don’t need to be gluten free / vegan or vegetarian or health conscious to have a great meal here!!

I ordered from M bistro because they have gluten free options and the staff it’s not only knowledgeable about celiac disease, but very accommodating and flexible. I had a gluten-free cheeseburger with gluten-free bun the first night and the second night I had gluten-free pasta with chicken. (and actually, they realized that the pasta that they were originally had gluten in it so they remade my whole entire meal without me having to worry about it and told me what happened.) 100% would recommend if you have celiac disease or are on a gluten-free diet for health reasons.

Great place. Gluten-free options for pasta and pizza. Some other menu items could be gluten-free, but you had to ask, they were not marked. They had one of the best GF pizza crust I ever had. I look forward to trying other menu items. Points off for a wobbly table and chair.

If you're craving a delightful brunch experience in NOLA, look no further than Two Chicks Cafe! This charming spot, founded by two women, offers top-notch service with a personal touch. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the owner and a team of servers who are not only warm and welcoming but also incredibly attentive to your needs. Now, let's talk about the food - it's simply amazing! I opted for the Vegetable Benedict on gluten-free bread, and every bite was a symphony of flavors. Whether you're a gluten-free enthusiast or just looking for a delicious twist on a classic dish, you won't be disappointed. Just a heads up, they don't take reservations, so plan to arrive a bit early to secure your spot. Trust me, it's worth the extra effort to savor the culinary delights awaiting you at Two Chicks Cafe.

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.

This is, quite literally, one of the best, if not the best places to eat in NOLA for this price range. The menu has something for everyone...vegan, gluten free, sweet tooth, savory. My favorite breakfast place in the world, and I am super snobby about breakfast. Probably the only place in the world where you can get homemade ice cream and donuts, gourmet coffee, draft beer, frozen mimosas and coffees alongside a funky menu that includes the perfect breakfast burrito and fried cauliflower bites that taste like general tsos chicken. You will want to come back to this place as soon as you leave. So freaking delicious... ALL DAY!

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.

I'm a gluten intolerant Vegetarian and THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE!!! I would give 10 stars if I could! The service was a little slow but we were having a great time and eating some of the best food I think I've ever had 😍 I didn't realize there was a store connected to the other side so the servers would be walking back and forth which I thought was super convenient. We came here 2 nights in a row. It is GORGEOUS in here
