Top 44 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Enjoy in Downtown Nashville

Very good dinner at Sixty Vines Monday night. The menu clearly identifies a large variety of gluten free options and the staff did well in asking about dietary restrictions. Had one of the best filets I’ve had in a while, along with a few vegetables on the side. Nice (but pricey) wine selection too. If you’re eating on broadway you’re likely going to have to spend a bit, but this is a great spot to treat yourself!

Put name on waitlist before going it definitely gets busy. We ended up sitting at the bar had Becca as our bartender. It was so nice we came back the next day. We had gluten free egg scramble with fruit. Cinnamon French toast and shrimp and grits . Blackberry smash and cold vanilla brew with almond milk.

Had a very good breakfast here. Service was great and the waitress didn’t hesitate when I asked for gluten free options and recommendations. The gluten free pancake was fantastic and had a nice rise/fluffiness to it. I also had eggs with sausage, hash browns, and a side order of some special bacon. All in all a fantastic meal. A little pricey but the price suited the quality of service and food.

Had the chance to go last Thursday while in town for a wedding and chose to sit at the Chef’s Counter either my girlfriend. Outstanding experience and choice, great service and server was very good about accommodating my girlfriend’s gluten allergy. Even more impressive was the food, some truly just well done dishes. One of the Chef’s, JD, that we met was awesome and helped give recommendations on fan favorites from their new menu. Check out that pork ribeye and s’mores dessert especially, out of this world. Would travel back to Nashville just to have dinner here again!

Amazing modern Mediterranean cuisine. Lots of gluten free options. Every dish was delicious and beautiful. Great vibe and service.

An invite from our friend @thetipjarnash took us to @sundanewasian for one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Nashville. Its name is a nod to the Southeast Asian continental shelf underlying the region inspiring the myriad of flavors highlighted by the array of cuisine from founder @billydec and executive chef @mike_sunda From Dim Sum to sushi rolls, main courses and “new Asian creations,” there is truly something on the menu for everyone. As always, we’ve posted a guide to our “reel” menu below in case you want to say, “I want what they had” (and we’re pretty sure you will.) 🍹: Grass Tiger & Strawberry Fields 🍣: Signature Crispy Rice {Wagyu & Spicy Tuna} 🥗: Crispy Brussels Sprouts 🍱: Sweet Potato Caterpillar & Island Maki 🐟: Tom Yum Sea Bass 🥮: Bibingka* Also of note: Kevin our waiter was incredibly kind and knowledgeable - he elevated the entire dining experience and we’d definitely recommend requesting seating in his section. Also a huge thanks to Matt for his hospitality and attention. Thank you Sunda for a top-notch experience from food to service, start to finish. *Bibingka was an off-menu dessert item that you absolutely should ask for. If you happen to have a gluten sensitivity, bonus points that this cake is made with rice flour! In fact, many items on the menu are friendly to dairy, gluten and other allergies or sensitivities. Also of note, most of their cocktails can be served as mocktails without sacrificing any flavor so you can still drink decadently without imbibing!

Emmy Squared was amazing! We chose this restaurant bc of the gluten free crust option! This was the best pizza, you would never know it was gluten free. Hands down a win!

Eric Michaud

This place had great service and very good atmosphere. We were on the patio a group of 12. This is higher end and designed for sharing. The portion sizes were bigger than they said (tri tip easily feed 4 of us). You get what you pay for, it was high quality and great tasting food, and priced accordingly. Also has a great whiskey collection and one of the best gluten free menus.

If you’re in Nashville and need a place with fantastic gluten-free options, Two Hands Nashville should be at the top of your list! As someone with gluten sensitivity, finding a spot that offers not just safe but delicious gluten-free dishes can be a challenge—but Two Hands totally delivers. First of all, the menu is full of mouth-watering choices that cater to various dietary needs, and their gluten-free options are top-notch. I tried the gluten-free Korean fried chicken, and wow, it was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Honestly, you wouldn't even guess it was gluten-free! The seasoning was on point, and the texture was just as satisfying as any gluten-filled dish. Their gluten-free bowls and rice-based dishes are also great choices for anyone looking for a wholesome meal that’s both filling and full of flavor. The ingredients feel fresh, and everything is thoughtfully prepared with plenty of options for customization. What really sets Two Hands apart is how they ensure cross-contamination isn’t an issue, which is super important for those with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and takes great care to make sure the dishes are made properly, which gives me a lot of confidence when dining here. The atmosphere is lively and friendly, perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or even a solo visit. Whether you're gluten-free or just looking for a great meal, Two Hands Nashville is definitely worth checking out. Delicious, fresh, and full of flavor—what more could you ask for?

A great place to grab brunch! The server was really helpful and attentive in pointing out the gluten free options and figuring out what was safe for a celiac in my group to eat. The prices are a little high, but not at all exaggerated.

Alexi James

Jessica was the best server! We waited at the bar for a few minutes while our table was getting cleaned. Dinner was amazing, service was amazing, and we really enjoyed our dessert. Our server, Jessica, was sensitive to my husband’s gluten allergy. She let us know all the menu options that were available to him and all the ones that could be available to him with adjustments. We LOVED The Magi live music group!! We will definitely be back!

Great for gluten free! Jesse was very helpful.

Meredith Reuse

We waited in line about 45 minutes. It was our second visit. It was raining so we debated going somewhere else but it was worth the wait and we were covered. The staff handled everyone and everything seamlessly. Our waitress was great. I ordered GF pancakes, eggs over well and crispy bacon. Very good. I wasn’t sure how the pancakes were going to turn out but when you’re picky (well, gluten sensitive), you can’t complain! At least I got to eat a pancake!! I thought they were good. The others said their pancakes were amazing. Great maple syrup. The eggs and bacon were cooked as ordered and delicious. We will return!

This place was kind of a cluster. The good: My wife got the aztec bowl & that was pretty good. And the baked fries that came with my burger were really good. The bad: They served up a Cesar salad to our friend without any dressing, and had a hard time finding the dressing when asked for some. The Shitake Teriyaki burger was just a smear of mushroom, cabbage, and sauce on a bun and looked nothing like the picture on the menu. The ugly: They tried to convince me that a whole wheat bun was gluten free. It took a few minutes, but they eventually checked the packaging from the buns and re-made the burger on a small GF bagle. They didn't actually have any GF buns despite it being on the menu, and it sounded like their cook didn't know what GF meant. This could result in someone with ceilac getting really sick from their food. I expect better from a restaurant like this.

Taylor G

Cute place. Some gluten free options

Jill Swisher

I appreciate that they had plenty of gluten free options!

Emily Borghard

It was a great place and they were so clear with the gluten free!!

Lisa Mayberry

Many gluten-free options as shared plates, entrée, and dessert. I had a wonderful birthday dinner here with the topper being the gluten-free cherry cheesecake.

Mavis Beresford

Great Gluten free items. Coffee good.

Brynna Hower

Kiara E was our server and she was amazing! I’m gluten free (celiac) and when I mentioned this to Kiara, she told me she’s gluten free as well and gave me tons of recommendations and put my mind at ease when ordering. And the food was seriously perfect.

Krista Seifert

Great service and atmosphere. Best food I’ve had in a long time. Plus I am gluten free and they have many great options!

Great place to eat. Gluten-free is always a challenge but we found a few things on the menu to make it work.

Ashlea was such an amzing server. Lovely personality. Food was great and the atmosphere was lovely. And their gluten free menu was very accommodating and gave many options.

Chloe Kampe

The food was excellent! Tried their winter menu creations and were blown away! Jazmine our server was very accommodating with my celiac disease in finding foods to have. The only part that I wasn’t a huge fan of was the very loud music.

Crystal Williams

The Barista is the best, she is friendly but also makes wonderful drinks!! Very nice place for just a morning drink or breakfast… and bonus, gluten toast!

Adam AIT BIHI

I was there with some friends this Saturday. Everyone had a different sandwich to be able to try different things from the menu. The Brie and fig was original and the brisket sandwich was really as well but for me the best was the pimento cheese with Mac n cheese sandwich, it’s definitely my favorite and the pimento cheese and the Mac combo match really well it’s a 10/10 for this melt. Overall great experience, the service was quick and their gluten free options allowed my friend who has celiac to eat with us. I also wan to mention that they have vegan and vegetarian options, a very complete menu.

Crystal

Gluten free pancakes!!!!!! Yummy Loved listening to Johny Cash while sitting in this cute diner

Amy Bolan

Impossible Burger and gluten free buns available. Waffle fries regular and sweet potato are very good.

Molly Murtagh

I ordered the GF pizza that came up as “Gluten Free Pizza Spot” on DoorDash. I hoped if they’re advertising GF it would be good. Instead it was rubbery and a little slimy.

Elizabeth Morgan

Their gluten free hot honey avocado toast is so heavenly. :)

Let's start with parking....there isn't any to speak of around the building. The few spots available are always taken. The parking lot in the back of the building is for chefs and the likes. Parking garages are within 5 minutes of walking, and Whole Foods validates if you make a purchase (we did). We had made a reservation, so being seated was fast. The wait staff was pleasant enough and helpful in making menu selections. Follow-up could have been better. The atmosphere was outdated and lacking. The floors looked worn and in need of better maintenance. I ordered gluten-free vegan and was impressed by the corn tortillas. The plate lacked freshness and color (personal opinion). Didn't eat much off my plate. My companion ordered a dish with potatoes, and they were "frosted" with salt. I always check the restroom for cleanliness, and it was well-taken care of. Check out the porcelain units in the restroom as they are interesting (not a complaint). I really expected more from a food celebrity (if your name is associated with the restaurant, you own the praise or criticism) on a well-known food network, and for these reasons, we had to ch*p you.

I came in a few days ago with a group of friends for a birthday. We were sat with Trey. From the start he was a vibrate human who took care of everyone's needs. I appreciated that he asked if there were any allergy concerns as my friend has celiac. He was able to put together food options for her. He also recommended a beautiful bottle of Chardonnay to go with all of our meals. Bethany the restaurant manager stopped by our table to wish us a Happy Birthday and to make sure our time and service was exceptional. As a local -- this place is somewhere I would absolutely return. Trey also let us know about their happy hour specials they offer. As someone who likes a good cocktail & oyster selection, it was much appreciated. Thank you everyone!!!

Can’t say enough about our server Sarah. She was a delight . Friendly , smart , attentive and she made accommodations for my husband who has gluten restrictions . The chef made steak sauce from scratch and Sarah made it happen for me to make a full meal out of my favorite appetizer shrimp scampi . Plus the shrimp was very fresh . If I could give 20 stars , I would . Exceptional experience after a tiring long day of graduation . Class act all the way . Highly recommend this place .

Broke our mother out of the nursing home for a few hours to take our sister from England who we’d just met for the first time out for brunch. Called before making a reservation for 9 people and the host told me that we could fit 9 people at a table for 8, so I went ahead and made the reservation. When we got there, there was no way that we could all fit in the booth with my mother in a wheelchair at the end of the table. There was a private table in the front of the restaurant that the manager refused to seat us at because there was a $150 fee for that table plus a $500 minimum. She also said that room had to have two servers, yet we only had one server at the two tables we were forced to sit at. Very disappointed in the managements efforts to accommodate us on this special day for our family. The food was hit or miss, about half of our party enjoyed it while the other half was not. I had the smash burger without a bun because I can’t eat gluten and it was small and boring. A friend had the chicken and biscuit and she liked it. My wife enjoyed the breakfast wrap. My sister had the salmon Benedict and didn’t like it at all (she’s a chef). Our server, Courtney, did a great job. The management itself, not so good. Customer service is truly a thing of the past.

This restaurant is incredible. We ordered 3 incredible gluten free vegan pizzas from Serenity Pizza (in the same location) and a beautiful Cobb salad from Copper Branch. The gf pizza crust was perfect. Not the cardboard gf pizza crust we have had elsewhere. Our kids absolutely loved it, especially our daughter who has a wheat and egg allergy. And our 6 year old wiped out on the sidewalk, and the very present woman who served us got out her first aid kit and gloves and dressed his wounds. They gave us ice and comfort. The “park ambassador” Patricia across the street came with bandaids too and even got our son a vegan cookie. Wow. So grateful we found this place. They really care.

Hello Darling

Gluten free dreams come true here! Great service, incredible ambiance and vibe! Steak tartar was delicious, filet mignon was perfect and juicy sauce! Best gluten free dessert I have ever had in my life, went back the following day to get the dessert again, they just weren’t serving it at the time I went it! Will be making a trip back just to eat here✨
