Melanie Koumentakos

I am so overjoyed to find a true gluten-free restaurant where I could choose from the entire menu! Everything was delicious, including the moist Belgian waffle and coffee! Thank you so much!

Taco bowl was yummy! Mediterranean bowl was a little bland. A few light bowl options for gluten free, gluten free pancakes and waffles too! Good for take out

camryn spalding

Great breakfast spot! Had amazing gluten free pancakes and toast. Menu was unique and delicious. Joanna was our server and was extremely helpful, attentive, and overall lovely! Would definitely recommend this place!

Max Cormier

Expensive. Sandwich was small and just adding gluten free bread and protein in my smoothie the meal ended up being almost 60 dollars. 3 small items shouldn’t be 60 dollars. Nice people but over priced.

Kyla Hall

$$$$ Overpaid for food and drinks but our waiter was amazing! He happened to look like DJ Kaled 🤣 kept the drinks coming. The poor guac guy kept having to come back and give us more but it was worth it. Definitely wish there were more Gluten-free vegan options. I love the Orlando location a lot more (no offense) and there was no parking here besides valet or street.

Riva Spanos

There’s outdoor seating by the river and vegan & gluten-free options! The Chopped Salad and Falafel are SO GOOD!!

Sarah L

Sat at the bar for happy hour, nice place for a snack and a drink! A few gluten free options, although not depicted on the menu. Server was helpful!

David

The buckwheat pancakes are fantastic and gluten free.

Tiago Daniel Jacobs

The place is calm and beautiful. The service is nice. They offer gluten-free options, which is great. I totally recommend, if you are nearby.

Gabriele Candela

Everything was amazing. Trevor was an amazing server and so accommodating to our friends celiac allergy. Personable, food was great and energy was immaculate. We will be back when we return to the FT. Lauderdale area thanks to Trevor!

Scott Bryant

Great GF pasta and desert

Cara Bostrom

This was a great find! Everything was excellent - even for this gluten free traveler!

Neil Kohler

Had dinner here on our first night in town and it set the bar very high. Was unquestionably the best meal we had in Ft. Lauderdale. I’m gluten free, the waiter was knowledgeable about what could/couldn’t be prepared for me. I had the “Yard Bird”, which was the juiciest chicken I’ve ever had. Wife and I shared the Dip Duo and Scoobies. Both were great. She had the lobster roll. We went to some other top rated restaurants in the area and they didn’t come close. Definitely a must go.

L Castro

Absolutely amazing food and even better service and recommendations! Grilled octopus and shirt rib enchiladas with creamy tomatillo sauce!! All gluten free and cooked to perfection! Eruc (ERK) was amazing and too not service!

Jason C

I had a truly wonderful dinner here with family. The service was absolutely outstanding, everyone was so warm and welcoming! The food was sublime, loved the hummus, gluten free pita (also most of the menu could be made completely gluten free, even a GF fryer for the falafel!), the fattoush salad was out of this world, as was the swordfish and yoghurt chicken. The pavlova was mind blowing also!! The setting is very peaceful and the restaurant is tastefully decorated, I loved the outdoor terrace and the transitional lighting from day to night. One of my new favorite restaurants in Fort Lauderdale and will definitely return again soon!

nancy lukas

Our dinner was delicious. The pad thai was perfect. The lobster and guacamole was out of this world! Alex was knowledgeable, professional and also easy to talk to. He was attentive to my gluten free needs.

Kelly Dobbin

Ethan was a great server, veryhelpful and attentive. The food was delicious lots of gluten free options. Chef Armando gives lots of attention to detail. Great portions and the kids meals are healthy and well porportio ed.

Renee king

I've been visiting this location for years. With my gluten allergy, they've always been accommodating without making it seem like an issue. My favorite dish is the Chang Spicy Chicken—it's absolutely my favorite. The service is consistently amazing.

Passion Leaves

Spacious, work-lunch atmosphere, amazing food. Knowledgeable staff. Everything fresh. Warm/cold options. Gluten/dairy free desserts took my heart

Matthew Ward

Great atmosphere and food! Had the shrimp tacos which were delicious. The gluten free dumplings were great as well.

Rusty McNeely

I hadn’t been to the Gourmet Garden Café in about a year and noticed it was under new ownership. I’m usually a bit cautious about these kinds of changes, but as my visit went on, the staff quickly put me at ease with their warm and attentive service. Avi, whom I believe is the owner, has built a dedicated and hardworking team, including Miguel, Williana, Frankie the Chef, William, and Blanc. Their menu offers a great selection, including vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and some vegan options, making it a welcoming spot for various dietary needs. The café has a pleasant atmosphere, and the quality of both the food and service makes it well worth a visit. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend checking it out!

M Rose

My partner and I both got the sausage, egg & cheese bagel (mine was gluten free) and I ordered the beef tacos, and a blueberry muffin which was also gluten free. I’m happy they have gluten free options. The breakfast bagels were delish. Was on the pricy side, and we didn’t even get much food, that’s my only complaint.

Alexandra Smyth LLC

I had a wonderful time here with my mother. Thank you Anna for dealing with all my modifications and special requests since I am vegan and gluten free. Highly recommend this place and request Anna :)

Trevor Alexander

I’m so sorry the food here is terrible. The pho had no flavor and the gf Buddha bowl was bland as well. Chicken was dry and the mushrooms tasted like they were submerged in water. I decided to give this place another shot after a bad uber eats delivery but wouldn’t recommend at all. Update: the gf Buddha bowl was in fact not gluten free. Had a terrible reaction.

David Lohmeier

The food here is so good and they were very careful with my wife’s Celiac concern

ashley rivera

We had an amazing dinner with excellent service from Cagla. She was absolutely amazing and such a sweetheart. The food was really good as well as the drinks. The salad/ side bar had vegetarian, gluten free & vegan options with everything well labeled. The meat was delicious & the service made everything so much better. 10/10 recommend you coming here.

Wetteny Joseph

This was my first experience at Planta Queen. My wife and I came on date night. We were looking for a plant based restaurant and this did not disappoint. Everything we tried was delicious and very flavorful, with many gluten-free options. Service was excellent and fast. It wasn’t too busy this particular Saturday night. We will be back.

Jonlyn Lydon

I am gluten free and never can find so many options than I could at OL’DAYS. I was so happy with my meal, I felt emotional. I had gluten free avocado toast with scrambled eggs. I also split vegan gluten free banana bread with my husband and we were truly blown away. It was so moist and flavorful. Valentina was a delight to have and added to our wonderful experience.

Jenne Acevedo

Nice restaurant overlooking the yachts and boats. Great drinks and dinner specials. Lots of seafood options. Three kinds of lobster. Many items are gluten free or can be adjusted. So glad we could walk to it from our hotel.

Hannah Carey

Great experience here! Food tastes amazing and there is great variety. They also have a ton of gluten free options and were super helpful! Definitely recommend.

AJ

Great ambiance, friendly service, and fantastic food! Great options for those needing gluten free as well. Side note, I’ve been to the Atlanta location and this one is so much nicer!!! Will be back.

Allison Kaplan (Celiac)

My server was knowledgeable about gluten and made sure I was safe, and the chef also came out to reassure me! I had the delicious Nachos (chips made in a dedicated fryer!!) and did not get sick afterward. Love this place!

I recently went to a Christmas 🎄 party at Batch in Fort Lauderdale, and they did a such great job! The party was outside, and the weather was perfect. The buffet-style appetizers were really good, and they were also very helpful with accommodating people with allergies. Everyone working there was super nice and on top of everything. They were also hosting their own event, “Shots for Tots,” where you bring an unwrapped toy and get a free shot. I love that they’re giving back. I think it’s so nice when businesses take the time to help others.. I also found out they now have a gluten-free menu, and I can’t wait to try it! It was a great experience ❤️ P.S.: If you’re looking for a good espresso martini, they make their own and sell it by the bottle. It’s very good! 😊

Jennifer Johnson

Reservations were set for 5pm on a Friday to sit outside. Diana, our waitress, was WONDERFUL!!!!!! She answered any and all questions completely and honestly. Food was better than I expected. I'm gluten free, so options can be quite limited overall, but she made it work perfectly. A lively scene, very vibey. It was getting a little loud by the time I left, but for the 5pm spot, it was fine.

Kai Bowden

The gluten free pizza at Emmy Squared is THE BOMB. Genuinely never had such a good GF crust! It dosent look busy which I don’t understand!!

Rachel R

We come here at least twice a week now! What appealed to us were the TONS of gluten free options, what kept us coming back was the staff. Antoine is always on top of things, fantastic service, he knows how to take care of you! He and Selena are amazing: great vibes, so fun to talk to. They work hard but never fail to give you a good time. Love the atmosphere, delicious food and they have several deals throughout the week. Great drink variety! highly recommend Tap 42 ✨ thanks for always giving us a superb experience!

Amy Reed

We came here for a family celebration and it did not disappoint. YOLO has a really great atmosphere and vibe. Great menu, a lot of specialty items. Service was top-notch. Our server was very knowledgeable in their gluten free options. Highly recommend and suggest making a reservation.

Perfect Italian coffee now here, delicious ScinnyLicious dishes and gluten free options

The Beach House restaurant sounds like it should be a winner. It's directly opposite the beach. It's open-air and the interior looks inviting. The menu is inviting, but things go a little out of kilter after that. For people with special food requirements such as gluten-free you need to get a bit creative with your orders. However, the Beach House is not very flexible. Certain items come with specific sides and substitutions are not easy to come by. So, my companion had to order a pasta dish and hope the pasta was gluten-free as promised by our server. When the food came out five people got their orders, but my order was inadvertently served to another table. So, I had to sit there while my dinner partners ate their meals. The other problematic thing is the live music. We had to ask twice for the music to be turned down so we could talk at our table. I didn't sign up for dinner theater, so I don't like being overwhelmed by some guy performing reggae music. The Beach House has potential. It just needs to make a few adjustments.

We live in the neighborhood and went for Christmas eve dinner. We were sat promptly our server seemed new and a little green but super friendly and smiled the whole way through service.Our table was big and roomy and very comfortable. The atmosphere was really nice We shared some sort of crostini appetizer. not too memorable but not bad.the. Entrees took a while to come out, maybe 1/2 hour from the time we finished our apps. Not the end of the world and they were apologetic. My main complaint with the restaurant was the food. My mother in law ordered a mushroom pizza. it was basic and bland , my wife was gluten free and was told the bronzino was ok to order. it had a lemon caper sauce on the menu which was left off, It was really only 1/2 a bronzino and when i say it was dry and over cooked im being polite. the fish looked as though it was over cooked to start with but then sat on some holding area for 1/2 hour. really bad dish, the pastas read so good on menu but i’m pretty sure the pesto in mine was store bought. i seasoned and just not good. my son also had a pasta made with no love. no cheese was or fresh pepper offered. i guess i was just surprised that a chain that spend so much money on a beautiful restaurant with a Name of North Italia would have such mediocre to bad food. all and all i wanted to like it but food is lacking and when it comes down to it i would rather sit at a tiny table if the food is great

Leslie Tummel

Wonderful food! My steak was cooked perfectly and the sides were also amazing. Maxwell was an amazing server, and was able to accommodate my need to be gluten free without any trouble at all. I will definitely eat here again!

Ashley Kasurak

We were on our way to the airport, im celiac and realized I can’t eat anything there. We saw a cafe sign and stumbled upon press & grind cafe - amazing! So many options for me and the drip coffee was fantastic too! I also grabbed some GF protein bars for the plane. Would visit often if I was local

Rose Boyd

Adriana Chimaras

Granola is gluten-free! They don't carry any yogurt though.

Sandra Loe

My husband and I enjoy going out to dinner and do not mind paying for an experience that is worth it, Dune is most certainly not worth it. The service is subpar, the restaurant dirty and everything is overpriced. We recently went for dinner and sat at the bar, we had to ask the bartender to clean the bar, which was covered with food and spilled drinks. We then had numerous issues with our food and drink orders. My husband’s margarita had mojito spearmint. After explicitly saying my husband could not eat their fries because he has celiac, his steak came out with the fries instead of the substitute side he had requested. To make matters worse, my food came out about 15 minutes after my husband’s food came out and only after we asked for it 3 separate times. The delay in my order meant that we were unable to eat together. Overall, it was a terrible experience and no one apologized for the numerous mistakes and inconveniences that we encountered. I tried to reach to speak to the manager at least 3 times but they do not care enough to answer the phone or call back.

Spencer

A few nice gluten free options for celiacs

Scott Zerzanek

We had a great dinner at this restaurant. While it is a bit pricey compared to some other sushi options; the sushi was delicious. They also provided a gluten free “soy sauce” and gluten free sushi rolls. The restaurant was busy and lively, away from the young spring break crowd and the service was also very good.

Hannah Waters

Very good food and service, we sat outside it was a little windy but still warm. We enjoyed a selection of their sandwiches and they have gluten free options if you ask. All were very good especially the cuban one! We also ordered a dessert be warned one will easily feed two or three of you. We had the key lime bar it was delicious.

Melanie Miller

Food: Gluten free panini was one of the best gluten free panini’s I’ve ever had! Banana date tahini shake was pretty good too. Service: Took 45+ mins for them to give us our order. Atmosphere: Outdoor dining - while decorated nicely, it’s on the side of a very busy thoroughfare so it’s loud.
