Everything on the menu can be gluten free. We had 3 GF, 2 normal, and on GF/DF girl at our table and they brought out separate bread for each restriction. Huge portion too!

My first place to eat in NYC and my first time in a 100% GF restaurant. everything was so good, I got the Açaí bowl and the Classic Cheese Bread whilst my Grandmother got the Panini, she can eat gluten but said it was the best bread she’d ever had! I’d highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for bread you can chew!

Lina Kolker

Standard diner fare, but with gluten free options! The first thing the hostess asked us, was if anyone needed a gluten free menu. They have a dedicated fryers. My daughter enjoyed her meal.

Grace Burrell

Delicious! Great gluten free options!

Scott Radloff

Great restaurant, Amazing gluten free options.

Madeline Berger

Enjoyed Gluten Free rigatoni bolognese at this charming little spot on East 53rd Street. The sauce was excellent, tasty, substantive and not runny. The staff was very nice and attentive. And, they offered other GF menu items, so I plan to return.

Ash Bachani

Dedicated gf fryer 🙌🏼

Alexa Piacentini

I have celiac disease and don't eat meat…wonderful to find a place like this that meets my needs. They have both gluten-free bread and vegetarian hot dogs. Really very good!

Abel Tirado

Juanita was an excellent server. She was very attentive without feeling overbearing. We had a late reservation and even so she never betrayed any sense of annoyance or tried to rush us out the door. Our cocktails arrived promptly and she was very informed about celiac allergies and provided a gluten-friendly menu immediately. The food was pretty good, but the service brought the restaurant to five stars. Big thank you to Juanita and the rest of the staff for making us feel comfortable and settling Us in for a nice meal.

Nicole Weston

Win win win... So many options for somebody with gluten-free allergies. The salad was fresh. The service was fast for it to be such a busy place. I have no complaints

Maddie

Excellent risotto and ravioli! I was able to find gluten free options as well. Our waiter Jason was very attentive and nice! Would definitely go back!

Favorite paella place- menu marked GF

Great location! Anthony and Nathan made my celiac daughter feel very happy and save eating gluten free avocado toast and drinking gf-hot chocolate.

Lola Arevalo

The food is good, they have Gluten Free options, Fran served us and was very attentive and friendly, making sure that the food was gluten-free and everything was good.

Kelly Stoyak

There was a great variety of food from the many different eateries to choose from. The places we ate from had fresh elements to their dishes which was very pleasing. La Palapa served fresh guacamole and salsa with their food - which also had fresh elements of vegetables incorporated into them. We also ate from some Thai/Indian eateries within the vicinity that had delicious dairy/gluten free food with fresh elements to their dishes. It was quite crowded and a challenge to find seating - but expectedly so during the busy holiday season.

Jesús Barrio

Great choice for coffee or brunch. The coffee is very good, plenty of gluten free choices as well.

Where's WeeWoo

Not the place to go if you have a gluten allergy or need to be gluten free, there are so few gluten options it was almost laughable. I think it’s one of those situations where they were being overly cautious, but wow. I was the only GF at the table and we ordered the crustini’s, they all came out on Cucumber. When we asked for the original, they came out on cucumber again. The place felt a little chaotic when we first came in and even after being seated. I can’t speak to what the rest of the group got, but as a person with a gluten allergy, I would not be back.

Cindy Beer - Fouhy

Excellent food and service. My first time here. I ordered the special Bronzino dinner. It was beautiful and delicious but a little spicy for my taste. Without hesitation the waiter insisted they make me another which was perfect! I’m dairy and gluten free and delicious food is hard to find in many restaurants. I was also thrilled with the lemon sorbet artfully plated with a currant sauce. And sipped my peppermint tea for a relaxing ending. Definitely coming back!

Excellent breakfast! Great vibe, nice chairs service and air. Loved the bread with avocado chiliflakes, and honey. Great glutenfree bread option too!

Ted R

Specifically asked for gluten free and the dish came with a flag, but I got a reaction. This is not the first time it’s happened in this location, which is why I hadn’t been back in 2 years. Please take care of allergies better.

Charlotte Oestrich

Food here was so good it was mind blowing. I’m shocked there wasn’t a line to get in because this is some of the best Greek food in the city. I’m gluten free and the waiter recommended the salmon with a lemon spinach rice, which was amazing and can’t stop thinking about, and some other dishes, and noted almost all the seafood was celiac safe. There are tons of gluten free options. The mushroom and spinach sides are also gluten free as well as the salads sans croutons, so is the raw bar. They also recommended a Greek organe wine that was so delicious I need to save the name. I’m definitely coming back and trying more on the menu because it’s definitely worth returning!

Amber Easterling

I always have a great experience here!! The staff is very helpful and can answer any gluten questions! They cook all meals with GF soy sauce and will also provide it at the table. I got the 8 greens fried rice with chicken.

Mallory Collins

Drinks here are a 10/10! Food I can’t say the same. This sandwich was $19 (gluten free bread added), and for that price I was expecting a huge and delicious breakfast sandwich. Sadly it’s very mid, skimpy with the portions, and just overall not good for the price! I didn’t even finish it because it just tasted so blah. For the price of food I would skip. But again, their drinks are amazing and worth the money.

Daniel was beyond warm and welcoming, that we decided to visit again and try other items.we dined in, and he helped us choose the best items on the menu. The french cream pastry was indeed delicious. My mom tried their gluten free bread and she liked it. Honestly one of the best customer service I’ve received ! He’s a great conversationalist , both my mom and I loved our visit!

Krisztina Almasi

Lots of gluten free options, marked on the menu

Yamila Maio

Good food, with gluten free options. Great ambience and nice restrooms.

guten morgan

Dined for morning breakfast - nice service and beautiful restaurant! I ordered the tofu scramble dish. It was good but I have honestly had better in other places, prices are steep too. However, the person I was dining with got the gluten free chocolate chip pancakes; it was very nice because for gluten free dishes, the chef will bring it out personally and the person I was dining with told me they were very good! Prices are expensive here.

Silvia Buermann

Great food and also gluten free options. I love to go there.

tibi aguilera

Without a doubt Andrea and her team deserve top marks for both the staff, the place and a little emphasis on the fact that they have GLUTEN FREE meals! A crazy person with a lot of CHARM. The food is simply EXCELLENT. Very REASONABLE price. And the service EXCEPTIONAL! Andrea, thank you very much for everything! We had a great time!

Vikesh Mahendroo

Hutong is truly fantastic in every respect. Lovely space with tables and booths depending on party size and preference. One never feels crowded. The food is first rate with generous portions—be it dim sum, soups or other dishes. The lunch specials are a real deal with great pricing and wonderful choices. The service is excellent and one never feels rushed—the team listens to the diner and adjusts timing for bringing out the dishes. And, one invariably takes home leftovers to enjoy again! We have dined there at lunch and dinner (great martinis!) as a couple, with extended family and friends and have never been disappointed. Spice level adjusted as requested. Lots of choice for the lactose or gluten intolerant and other dietary restrictions. We will keep dining there whenever we can!

My colleague and I stopped last night for dinner and drinks, it was my first experience and she had been there multiple times. We had a great experience, and what made it great was our waiter Cesar - he was attentive, made sure to give advice and checked on us as appropriate . The food was OK, I am a bit picker because I have celiac and there are never many choices, especially at chain type restaurants. Overall our experience was a good one!

Vanessa Hemmerle

Good Drinks and helpful people! The service personal helped us navigate the manu for gluten free options and made us a speciel drink! Really cosy athmosphere and cool pop music

Sean Campbell

Excellent dinner spot! The decor is fantastic, and the food is delicious. Service was okay, though our server seemed quite unsure of the dishes with gluten despite us telling them early on one of our party had an allergy. But it all worked out okay.

Jasmin Konlechner

Glutenfree!

belma gruda

The staff is so friendly and the cafe itself is very friendly when it comes to dietary restrictions, dairy free options, gluten free options, and knowledgeable staff on their menu able to answer all concerns for ingredients. Love coming here before work and during my lunch break!

Renuka C

Gluten free deliciousness! Yummmmm! Found this bakery on Yelp. It’s steps away from the hotel. Lots of pastries, coffee, wonderful tea, nice ambiance, clean cafe, and friendly service. They only had 1 gluten free option but it’s CHOCOLATE (GF chocolate cake with ganache center) - who needs anything else?!

Fire Humor Company

Came at a busy time but they were well organized. This was our first time with this franchise and they did not disappoint. Lots of Gluten free and vegan options. We did the make your own warm bowls. Lots of options for toppings.

Madison Pivonka

The people here are so nice. Uriel is a good friend of mine and he made it a very special experience! The little crescent rolls they give you at the beginning were so yummy. Especially with a cappuccino The entrees were fabulous. I had the polenta based eggs Benedict. They were very unique! Served on a corn polenta (Gluten free) with the poached egg and hollandaise sauce. Pm top. Served with home fries, and it was actually a good serving size for one! The desserts were also 10/10 they have a gluten free coconut cake and a peach melba whipped cream cup that was amazing. Highly recommend!

Margaret Sullivan (Maggie)

They have gluten free bagels and bread, which is a godsend for people like me who can't eat gluten. They also have gluten free pancakes. If you have food sensitivities, it's worth the trip to check it out.

Pizza perfecta!!! The pizza chef is straight from Calabria Italia. Every pizza is made fresh to order in front of you next to a huge wood fired pizza oven. It’s superbly thin, the perfect amount of sauce and toppings. They do have takeout and they are wheelchair accessible! They have a ramp! This was grade A rated when I visited. Pizza is about 12” in size and can be shared between two people. They have a wine bar and restaurant next door. It’s a small and cozy pizzeria. It reminded me of Italy! I forgot to add they have gluten free and can accommodate allergies!

Kerri Bonney

Best gluten free chicken pizza ever!

Paul Milham

First class! A lovely welcome and very accommodating around my wife’s gluten intolerance - which meant she could eat what she wanted, rather than a couple of options. The sea food special was just that, and the wine selection available to accompany the meal is incredible. Orlando looked after us like we were the only people in the restaurant. We will be back! Thank you

Liebman Entertainment

Had great gluten free options
