Egg, sausage, fruit and English muffin was delicious!

Tucked in the farmers market is Holy Crepes! A fabulous find while on our NO adventure. Great choice of savory and sweet (gluten free is an option). We went sweet with Elvis and Pralines both were delicious! Take the trolly down Canal to this hidden gem.

I really enjoyed the food here and was so grateful to find a place that had a lot of gluten free options. I was able to try gumbo and gf beignets (calas) and they were very delicious 😊 the service was also pretty quick and friendly.

Anthony Slaughter

The food was awesome! And Henry is the man! His recommendations were the selections that I went with and he took care of me with regard to my gluten allergy. I went with the red fish and it was so good. It was the perfect end to my 60th birthday celebration in the Big Easy.

Heather Gavrish

Busy on the weekends but great food and lots of gluten-free options with friendly service.

Erika Kinder

Loved our meal!! Gluten free fried seafood combo, and gluten free fried artichokes with marinara - all tasty, amazing!! Even better, after being my messy self our waitress offered me the use of her Tide to Go stick, amazing service. I love this place!

This was my first time visiting this establishment, and I have to say my experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The service was warm and attentive, and the food? Simply amazing. Every dish had such bold, unique flavors, and I really appreciated the wide variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options on the menu. I ordered the Crab Scramble with vegan eggs, which was packed with flavor. I also got a side of the bison sausage it was my first time trying bison. While I personally prefer chicken or seafood over red meat, the sausage was still well-seasoned and tasty, with subtle notes of onion and bell pepper (not sure if that was intentional, but it worked!). My mom ordered the Shrimp and Grits, and I got to try a bite and wow. It was a flavor explosion. I've never tasted anything quite like it before rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. We all shared the Bananas Foster Pancakes, which were sweet but not overpowering, with a unique flavor that really stood out. I also tried their Iced Matcha Latte delicious and classic in taste. If you're looking for a traditional, less-sweet matcha, this is the one for you. My cousin ordered the Cat Daddy Biscuit, and once again great flavors, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was on point. My aunt went with the Bearcat Breakfast, a more traditional option, but she swapped in the bison sausage, and it paired beautifully with the eggs and potatoes. The only downside? Parking can be a bit tricky, and there might be a wait ours was about an hour. But trust me, it’s absolutely worth it. Next time I'm in New Orleans, I’ll be back without a doubt!

First, the good: the food here is pretty excellent, at least for the entrées and appetizers that we ate. I would say that the entrées were the star of the show, and the appetizers we had were very good to good. The cocktails we had were average, there are plenty of other restaurants that have a better cocktail program based on what we had. The wine appears to be an excellent list, however, we only had one glass of wine. Second, the bad: unfortunately, the service situation detracted from our dining experience. Putting aside minor details like watching other tables seated after us receive their complementary bread before us and slight delays and taking our order, a bigger issue involves one of our parties request to not have any gluten in their food being treated way too casually. After it was asked and confirmed whether a certain dish did not have gluten in it, one member of our party ordered that dish. After it was served and in the middle of eating it, a member of the staff came up to clarify whether that party member had a gluten allergy or just a gluten intolerance. The member of our party only had a gluten intolerance, as it makes them somewhat ill for 24 hours after they have gluten. After confirming the nature of the intolerance, the staff member said nothing and walked away. Our server then returned and asked us if the other staff member had explained the issue about the dish, and we responded that he had not. The server then explained that the dish did have a component with gluten in it, after the dish I’ve been mostly eaten. The server then said that the dish would be comped on our bill, which it was not. In this day and age, a restaurant should take gluten allergies much more seriously. Their menu is totally silent on what dishes are gluten-free, so you have to ask. And when we did ask, we were given false information. Had the member of our party suffer from celiac, would’ve been a much more serious situation as opposed to a brief illness. Please keep this in mind when you choose to dine at this restaurant, as their staff does not appear to be trained to take the issue of gluten intolerance seriously. For example, at other restaurants in the city, the staff would make on the fly corrections to the menu to indicate what dishes were gluten-free , which I believe is now the standard for upscale dining.

Brian the server and young architect: My wife and I have worked in fine dining, Ruth's Chris and Brennan's, New Orleans; most servers find a way to irk me and disappoint. Brian's service was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and friendly without getting in the way of our date. Food: You can scarcely complain about any of the creole and New Orleans fusion served at Eliza; we have been loyal in particular for the gluten free fried seafood. For such a high quality place, however, I was disappointed to learn they are still using the industrial biproduct, "vegetable" oil, in their fryer instead of beef tallow or at least refined peanut oil (which does *not* cause allergic reactions). I selfishly hope Eliza's can commit to clean oils in their kitchen, so they can once again be our go-to for fried seafood and perfect destination to show out of town friends a refined but casual experience of excellent south Louisiana fare.

Gregory Anderson

Offers a few gluten free options. Normally excellent service, but this last time was meh. Food it pretty good.

matt scott

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.

Josephine March

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.

Matt

I was hoping for a good meal away from the French Quarter, but we got so much more. The entrees were SOOO good, they truly took us by surprise. I’ll remember the chicken and the shrimp dishes for a while. I rarely order dessert, but after an entree that good, I needed to see what dessert offered. The Salted Peanut Pie was delicious. Only thing of mention was about the lack of gluten free dessert options - typical ice cream and sorbet offering.

Tammy Denler

My mother is gluten intolerant, and this place has been a true blessing!

Claudia English

Gluten free options were limited… three options or getting food grilled. Still unsure of how friendly it was as felt unwell after dinner.

Teresa Cowley

Allie was my server and she was phenomenal. She recommended the grilled oysters and the crawfish fest from the specialty menu. She was very knowledgeable about the menu items and even offered us the gluten free menu for my husband to order from. I'm very impressed by the service of the staff, mainly my server but the while team itself was very efficiently. The oysters came out fast and hot, the food runner Coral was very polite and even greeted us as he approached the table. Allie brought our drinks out within literally a minute and it was a busy night..Even with the brownie a la mode for desert. We were in and out quick even to make a show after. Out of all the places in New Orleans I've never been treated with better hospitality than what Allie showed us tonight. Thank you.

We went here specifically for gluten free food. The owner was there and super friendly. We ordered gluten free fried green tomatoes, shrimp, crayfish, catfish, pickles, and fries. The coating/breading was light and airy. We were the only ones in the restaurant. It was a little awkward, quiet, and dark.

Beth Whitling

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!)

Laura Foster

I am gluten free but the others with me were not. The charbroiled and raw oysters are amazing! And they're gluten-free except you have to ask for bread on the side. I probably did not order the right thing, but I had the grillled shrimp which were meh and the fries that were nice. for gluten full people, the beignets were a hit and also the gumbo and bisque

Jenna Norton

Celiac Friendly

Erin Carriel

We wanted Fabulous local food and Sylvain’s did not disappoint! We had the Pappardelle Bolognese and Striped Bass which were both delicious, we also had the Fried Cauliflower which was a wonderful surprise!! Our server Chris was knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. They were able to accommodate my gluten free restrictions, including dessert…a coconut crème brûlée! The ambiance was intimate and beautiful, we loved everything about this restaurant and highly recommend it!

Kerri Lorigan

Outstanding GLUTEN-FREE fried chicken and salt and vinegar string fries. We sat ourselves in the semi-enclosed private room on the second floor, which was comfortable, allowed us to hear the live music and talk comfortably with one another. The cocktails were delightful and interesting!

Tracy Franks-Blanchard

Definitely will be back to try some of the other entrees on the menu. The pork tamale was so tender, the birria and cheese enchiladas were perfection. Hubby recommends the Mexican Stir-fry with the protein trio of chicken, shrimp, and steak. I did steal a shrimp to check for myself. The grill on it made the flavor pop. They can cater to just about any restrictions too. They have keto, vegetarian, and gluten free menus. When you go, ask for Dallas. He delivers top notch service!

Margaret N

Ordered 2 pizzas to be delivered and BOTH pizzas were wrong. They are very sorry and will not send correct pizzas or refund me. Meat lovers pizza had NO meat. Gluten free pizza may or may not have been gluten free as it was not labeled and looked like the other. Spent a fortune and cannot eat either one.

Tawnya Lehnen

My husband ordered a cup of gumbo and the combination platter. He bit into shell fragments twice. The bread was not very flavorful. To top it off he ended up with severe food poisoning. I’m celiac and ordered jambalaya from the gluten free menu and also ended up with diarrhea. Didn’t make a great impression seeing that it was our first time in Louisiana.

Jason C

Great restaurant with authentic food and amazing service! Could accommodate my gluten allergy which I sincerely appreciate :-). Steak frites and eggs are fire 🔥

Joy Dunna

This place was amazing! The drinks were really well made (I hade the caipirinha and would highly recommend)! For all the celiacs out there, this place is more than accommodating for a gluten free diet.

Nick Hall

Great atmosphere, service and GF options. If you like pumpernickel the bread is for you here.

Mindi Keith

Stopped in after work with a friend for a late lunch and had the best tuna salad sandwich *chefs kiss* My friend couldn’t stop raving about her food also. Server was fantastic and funny. Menu features gluten free options for those of us with dietary restrictions. Hope to go again!

Nick Ramirez

This place slaps. Gluten free injera! Delicious. Highly recommended.

horserider0815

We love the gluten-free menu and the beignets. Some family members need gluten-free but others don’t and we enjoyed the options for both. The food was delicious. Love the environment inside.

Kyla

Shrimp and grits was delicious! Good service, good food, celiac friendly options, outdoor seating options

Michael Zegarski

Wonderful breakfast place. They have much gluten free as well (ya gotta use their online menu not the printed one). Went back a 2nd day because of Kelli and Trish. Great service...awesome breakfast! Yum 😋

Mitzi Starkweather

What a beautiful, delicious, cozy experience. The shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and they have gluten free options noted on the menu! The staff was kind and welcoming and gave us space but served us well. We we will definitely be back!

Jill Judy

Staff could not have been more pleasant. Wine menu was extensive with solid selections. Our mains were well made with fresh ingredients, unique flavors, and the menu took great care to provide top-notch options for vegans and gluten intolerant folks. While I’m not vegan, the chocolate vegan ice cream was incredibly decadent and delicious. The website pictures made me think seating was communal; it is not. We wish we could move this gem to our town.

Gayle Young

Oh man, I had a great solo meal today at BJ's. Gluten-free pizza! Phoebe and Brooke are the best 2 waiters/Servers/Bartenders evah. Eating out is challenging for me, but these two made it so easy. I feel geat! No cramps, no pain at all. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thanks Phorbe and Brooke', y'all rock! See ya soon!:)

Gabe Szymarek

It was a busy morning and they said they couldn’t really handle the volume of people so cross contamination was difficult. I had the frittata (I knew I shouldn’t have) and got absolutely smacked by gluten. I’m sure this place is safe for gluten intolerances or allergies, I’d be cautious with celiac.

rachel milstein

We highly recommend this cute eatery. They know good eats. Elevated fast casual dishes. Delicious baked goods. Great coffee and matcha. Options for all including someone gluten free. Options to eat on the healthier side but kept the comfort food feel.

Emily Stevens

Jenni was fantastic!!! Love the food here, and a lot of gluten free options!

jada

waiter was phenomenal with dietary restrictions and went above & beyond to make my partner and i feel welcome! (dairy free and gluten free). we had the jambalaya (GF, DF) (4/5) and the rice and beans (GF) (4/5) and the flight lemonade drinks (2.5/5). the potato salad and the appetizer sausage was SOOO delicious. overall awesome atmosphere, people & food. worth the long line outside ! (and super affordable)

Ricardo R

We waited 40mn for a table for a late dinner. The person at the reception wasnt the friendliest but we were hungry. BIG SHOUT-OUT to Paul on the merch side to be kind enough to talk to us while we waited! We finally got a table and ended up waiting 15/20 mn to get a server. Wasnt too thrilled about that. Server was nice and informative on food allergies though. They have a gluten free menu available, but the seasoned fries weren't gluten free, needs updated. We got a burger and a pulled pork sandwich with green beans sub for fries. Overall wasnt impressed with the food specially for the price. Manager came to check on us and we ended up talking about music and tattoos! Memorabilia was interesting on the walls.

Charles Kuney

Been coming to Nola for Mardi Gras for the past three years running, and never miss a chance to eat at Another Broken Egg. Food is great, awesome gluten-friendly selection for us gluten-sensitive folk! Ask for Jenny!!

TBaum

I was super excited to come as you hear and read so much history about this place. It was everything I was told and imagined. The first thing you see and feel when walking in is the history this place has. All the staff was exceptional and on point! And the food, the foor was fantastic. Our table had the fried chicken, which was finger lickin excellence. For one order they were able to make it gluten free for my mom!! The Stewed chicken was absolutely delicious! And the same for the Shrimp Clemenceau. This place is a must come and repeat!!

Brandi Miller

This is a 100% dedicated gluten free restaurant with arguably the best food, whether you are eating gluten free or not. Their menu clearly states everything used is gluten free, which if you have Celiac, you know the appreciation for that alone. If you’re in the area, take the time to make a stop here…you won’t regret it! It is a sit down, nicer restaurant so take that into account. Ordering to-go might be an option if you are looking to get back on the road when traveling through. They also sell jars of their green and red salsa…worth buying to take along!

Rhys James

Great for gluten free, they’re very aware of avoiding cross contamination and the waffle was amazing.

Jake Bowers

If you've recently lost a loved one (egg, milk, gluten) then this is the place you need to try. They work magic. I don't know how they make brioche or pastry cream without eggs or dairy but they did it excellently.

Elizabeth E H

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!!

Heidi G

This is one of my favorite haunts, with a thoughtful Gluten Free and Vegan menu. A Mid-city gem. Open on Friday and Saturday till 9 p.m. now! 🥰

We love the gluten free and vegan options. Amazing pizza 🍕 😋
