I loved everything about this place!! As a diner with celiac disease there were several options and my server and the team were very intentional about handling my dietary restriction with care. The atmosphere was great! The decor was like a mini buffet for the eyes. The food was absolutely delicious too.

Gluten free pizza was phenomenal, one of the best I have ever had!!

Jessie Whiting

The food was fantastic. We ordered 2 different crepes but with buckwheat as one of us have celiacs. They took the allergy seriously which was much appreciated and the food was much better than we expected considering they were suing buckwheat as the alternative. Will definitely be eating here again when we visit. Loved that they are open a little late so when you’re in more of a breakfast for dinner mood they have options available.

After our delightful first visit, my wife and I knew we had to come back to Istanbul Kebab House for a proper meal. Last week, we decided to turn our date night into something special with dinner at this Turkish gem followed by a Broadway musical, Newsies, at the Flynn Center. We made a reservation in advance, as this spot is quite popular in the evenings - especially when there's a play happening nearby. The ambiance was inviting and warm, with soft lighting and traditional Turkish decor creating a perfect setting for a romantic evening. The service was exceptional, and our server, Alexandra B., made the experience even more memorable with his attentiveness and friendly demeanor. We started with the Small Meze Platter ($16.99), an excellent choice for sharing. The platter featured haydari, hummus, babaganoush, Turkish salsa, and stuffed grape leaves, all served with soft lavash bread. For those seeking a gluten-free option, fresh-cut veggie sticks are available. Each dip and spread was bursting with flavor, making this a must-try appetizer. For the main course, I chose from the Earthenware Casseroles and ordered the Lamb Guvec ($27.99). The tender, marinated lamb pieces combined with tomato, mushroom, onion, pepper, and eggplant were served sizzling hot, and the aroma alone was irresistible. It was hearty, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the recommended 9oz glass of Vinkara red wine ($16.50). My wife selected the Chicken Adana Kebab ($22.99) from the Traditional Kebabs menu. The mildly spicy, hand-ground chicken seasoned with Turkish maraş pepper and parsley was grilled to perfection and served with Turkish rice pilav, a side of greens, house pickled red cabbage, and marinated onions. She enjoyed every bite and complemented her meal with a 9oz glass of Ancyra white wine ($16.50), which was light and refreshing. To close the evening, we indulged in a classic Turkish dessert, Baklava ($9.99). The layers of fresh phyllo, walnuts, and crushed pistachios, finished with a simple syrup, were the perfect sweet ending to our meal. Istanbul Kebab House continues to impress with its excellent food, cozy ambiance, and impeccable service. Whether it’s a casual dinner or a special occasion, this restaurant is a must-visit in Burlington. We’ll definitely be back again!

Miss Joy's Art Room

We tried 6 different items and shared, family style. They were they were all phenomenal!! The smorgasbord of vegan & gluten free items were amazing! With many food sensitivities & allergies, I cannot often enjoy unique cuisine like a real “foodie” & we were all wowed by the creativity & ingenuity of Chef Paul. It was super busy, so Paul pulled up tables & made more space. We sat in the window & It was like being transported to Parkslope, Brooklyn in Burlington’s Old North End. Ending the night with a blueberry vegan creemee was the most delicious surprise!

The Gryphon is a GEM. Earlier in the day it is quiet, reliably open (this is special in VT), and attentively and knowledgeably staffed (you will adore Alex; his incredible experience is evident in how he tends to each guest). The food is comforting and so impressively well executed, you'd think the chef should be on the Food Network. Who doesn't love an approachable and concise menu of items they know how to do well every time?!?! The environment is a perfect balance of old world class meets comfortable open lounge with creatively delicious cocktails and staff committed to finding the perfect meal or drink even if an adjustment is going to help you enjoy the experience better based on your personal flavor/food/ingredient preferences. My partner and I cannot eat gluten (not celiac) and are infinitely appreciative of a well done menu with GF options readily available. I wish I had known about The Gryphon before living in downtown BTV because it would have been a worthy destination for a friend gathering, however, better late than never, and I am very thankful and fulfilled every time I visit!

Fantastic Cuban food and it is such a unique dining experience for a place like Burlington. We made a reservation and it was a fairly busy Thursday night. The wait staff were knowledgeable and kind. It was a fairly large menu with lots of options. The water glasses were tiny. I would guess somewhere between 4 and 6 fluid ounces. We ordered the three chips app to start. Could tell it was house made and it was fresh and delicious but it was very small little pieces that made it harder to enjoy. We ordered the Creole shrimp with Maduros and tostones with yellow rice. The savory plantains and the sweet plantains are one of my favorite dishes and such a rare occasion allows for me to have them. These plantains did not disappoint and were cooked to perfection. The sauce on the shrimp was incredible and the rice, shrimp and sauce combo was a flavor paradise. We also got the vegan Cubano which was a little disappointing. Still we are very glad to see vegan options at all but it wasn't anything special. The menu said vegan Cubano sandwich but the default bread was not vegan (at least according to our waitress). To make it vegan you needed to ask for this other bread that they had that was also gluten free. So it was an extra 2 dollars to make the "vegan" sandwich actually vegan. Nonetheless the dinner experience was great as was the food and atomosphere. We will definitely return although it may be some time as the prices are on the higher end. If you enjoy Cuban food it is a place you should certainly try.

Rachel Wagner Lemblé

So many specialty options - vegan, gluten-free and vegetarian. Their bread was as delicious as Mom's homemade loaf. Perfection.

Ellie Dombrowski

The vegan poutine is fantastic! Good vegan and gluten free options!

Mathew Ghafoori

Traditional diner experience with lots of gluten free options!

Samara Densmore

Excellent cappuccinos. They have oat milk and soy milk for non-dairy options. Breakfast burrito is good, but a little small. No gluten free menu.

Amélie C.

Everything was fantastic, there was a gluten free falafel in place of the bread for the Shakshouka that was awesome! We also got the tahini spiced coffee which was to die for, whatever the white stuff on top of the coffee was, I would munch endlessly on it. 10/10 we love!

Andrea Tremols

Love this place especially their brunch on Sunday! They have gluten free and vegan options which can be so hard to find! Their gluten free waffle is amazing as are all their breakfast sandwiches. Highly recommend checking them out whether you’re vegan, gluten free or a meat love. You won’t be disappointed!

Talia Rubnitz

The best gluten free breakfast sandwich!!! In awe of the crispy cheese and maple chili crisp!! Will be back next time in town.

Mike Alberga

A great place to hang out and just relax, good food and drink, and a huge game selection! The staff was great and they have gluten free options, which is a huge win for me. I ordered The King PB&J (amazing, btw), and the server asked if the gf bread could be toasted on the grill with the regular bread or if it needed a new surface. That's a huge win in my book for food allergies since I feel this level of detail isn't as common as I'd wish. I will definitely be making trips here a regular thing!

Have been here several times, the menu does change somewhat for different events/ time of year, there’s a consistent offering that is always available so keep an eye out for those temporary offerings. The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff has always been very friendly and welcoming no matter if it’s packed or slow. This place can become packed so wait times for seating and service can suffer but the staff tries their best to accommodate, they are always willing to answer any questions or address any concerns. There are some limited gluten free accommodations. Lots of cheap public parking nearby, assortment of on street/off street and garages- look for the big blue P signs if you’re not using your google maps. Shout out to our server Oliva, that chocolate mousse was awesome, thanks again for the great service! 👏 👏 👏

The polenta with pork belly is one of my favorite things I’ve had in town. Gluten free and huge portion!

Great place for a healthy sit down breakfast or lunch!! Smoothies, scrambles, sandwiches, gluten free and vegetarian/vegan options. Surf vibes, but a warm welcome to all crowds here, as long as the vibes are good! There's some hidden gems across the restaurant. A customizable letter board by one table, open garage doors in summer, bright natural light at each table, a bar for quicker service or longer stays or an afternoon brew, chalkboard specials, a fish tank in the dining area, straws by request, and surfboards everywhere!

Dennis Jones

The atmosphere is wonderful and they have a wide variety of delicious gluten-free choices on their menu.

Having celiac disease greatly diminishes the amount of places where I can eat. Having gluten free options doesn’t always mean celiac friendly. I’ve eaten here several times with no issues! I just mention my restrictions when ordering and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure there is no cross-contamination. The food is delicious! I’m making my way through the menu that’s available to me, but I’m stuck on the Buddha boi (as a bowl, no wrap). The peanut sauce is so amazing and I crave it on a regular basis. Decent portions, friendly staff, fun atmosphere. Guy Fieri approved, too!!!

Barbara S

Their buns, pastries and coffee are delicious and I love that the bun flavors rotate so there's always something new to try! The service is great and theres always a gluten free and vegan option every day which is awesome for those with dietary restrictions. Their savory offerings are great as well, my favorite is the BLG and the fall harvest salad.
