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

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.

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.

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!)

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

Nick Hall

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

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.

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.

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!!

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

Matt Turner

Outstanding vegan and gluten free options. You MUST try a king cake and the hot breakfasts!

Jessica Coffey

I came here on a girls trip and had the best experience with Kay! She was so kind and helpful with helping me find the best gluten free meal for me. I went with an omelet and potatoes and it was delicious!

Jessica Mesa

Boris was a fantastic server! He helped me feel safe and cared for regarding my celiac dietary restrictions. The food was excellent and quick! Would definitely eat here again!

Jenn Kasper

gluten-free

Dennis Yurchevich

Great service. Amazing food. Loved the atmosphere. Really enjoyable gluten-free options! **Edit** Would love to come back but that's a long trip from Western Canada! Lol

Kerry Ferreirae

Sunday morning brunch. $15 bottomless mimosas, $15 omelettes, $22 shrimp and grits. Multiple GF gluten free items including the shrimp and grits. Truly excellent. Nice atmosphere and the jazz vocalist and guitarist tucked in the corner made it a truly special NOLA experience. Will be back!!!

Brandi Rossman

Excellent choice for dinner. Top notch service, unique drinks, and a great ambiance. Gluten free options. We tried both raw and charbroiled oysters. Yum! I had the risotto. It had a bit of a kick. Husband had pasta. So good!

Katie Lamb

This is our favorite place for special occasions with the family, or drinks and plate sharing with my friends after work. The food is always fresh, delicious, and interesting. Both beautiful to look at and eat. The staff is extremely accommodating of my family members who have celiac disease, making sure to take careful notes on their orders. Patron this spot. You will not be disappointed.

Marshall Davis

Great, old New Orleans atmosphere. In-house made pasta with several gluten free options. Large selection of spirits at the bar. Friendly service.

Rhys James

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

Elizabeth Felix

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.

Michael Minuto

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.

Josh R.

Nice place, but the food isn’t great. Also, our server knew very little about their gluten free options.

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.

James Douglas

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.

Jamie Crews

Fun place to visit. I'm gluten free, and was able to eat the red beans and rice (most are not gf). Had no issues. Fast-paced restaurant with a good vibe. People I was with got the oysters and they smelled amazing. They loved them. Would go back if I was with gluten eating people so they could experience it.

Chris Brussow

Service was over the top, food was good enough. Had trouble finding gluten free options, but they bent over backwards to make sure I got what I needed. Great meal in the end. Kitchen was far less cooperative than the front end, but the server and the hostess fought for me, lol.

Betty G

Definitely check this place out! Lots of delicious things to buy and take home. I came and ordered a board of 5 items, and let them decide what cheese and meat I got. It was so delicious, and the person that brought it out to me explained what everything was. Also lots of gluten free options! I got gluten free crackers, and they had gf bread also for sandwiches. I wish I lived here so I could come more!

Chip Flater

Legitimate foodie stop. Knowledgeable staff, great service and amazing food. Tons of gluten free options.

Nick Hall

Breakfast brunch. Gluten free bread option and drinks

Goldie Dean

Cary Campbell

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!

Becky Morgan

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.

Callie Fuller

Yummy! The menu is small but delicious, with gluten free options. It changes often and the wait staff will walk you through what and how to order depending on your dietary needs, hunger, and food preferences. Our waitress was so wonderful! It's cozy yet spacious inside.

Nancy Kane

We had a party of five and they gladley accomidated my friends scooter. The Monte Cristo and Ruben sandwiche's were a hit. They have a special menu for gluten free and vegiterians. I ordered the vegie cobb salad, when it came it had bacon and ham on it. They quickly made me a new salad. The service was a little slow, but I think that was the kitchen and bar staff. Our server was awesome.

GEARS-N-GREASE

Delicious. Luckily stumbled across this gem unexpectedly. Some of the best breakfast we had during our stay over a week. Gluten and lactose free options. Everyone in our 8 person group, including kids were very happy.

Arissa Mercer

Great food. Had a separate menu for gluten and dairy allergies with almost everything included from the regular menu, so awesome choice if you have an allergy.

Mark Ferguson

Great restaurant - gluten-free options available

Christine F

Great food. Some gluten free options. Treated us really great!!!

Donald Simoneaux

Brandon Punke

Gluten free pizza was really really good. Staff was really helpful and pleasant.

samantha carter

Tonight I went for a dinner, the music was great and the decor is beautiful. Cash and Cerry did an excellent job, I am gluten-free, celiac so this was my first time here and I ordered the red beans and rice.

Abigail Alley

Nicci is amazing! I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease, and he fully understands cross contamination. He walked us through the menu as to what was safe and gluten free. He was so nice and accommodating! The vibe and drinks are amazing!
