Top 8 Gluten-Free Spots for Exquisite Cocktails in Asheville

Matthew Weld

If you are GF, this is the place; everything is gluten-free. We happened upon the summer menu filled with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend the cheddar biscuits, the beet appetizer, the braised short ribs, finished with the chocolate torte. Unique selection of cocktails, and the wine menu is extensive. My glass of Malbec was very good. Service was attentive, personable, yet not always in your space. Highly recommend!

My husband and I frequent Old Europe for their delicious cakes and coffee, so when it came time to pick a vendor for our wedding desserts, it was an easy choice! Abby helped us choose a variety of small cake flavors, and made sure each one was gluten free (I have celiac disease). She also walked us through customizing a larger cake for the two of us. Everything turned out beautiful, and our guests raved about how pretty and delicious our desserts were. Also of note- our original wedding was the day after Hurricane Helene. Old Europe made it super easy to reschedule for our new date!

Had a wonderful brunch at Chestnut! The pimento cheese tater tots were amazing! I can’t wait to go back for dinner and try the fried green tomatoes! All gluten-free items are noted on the menu. The servers are very helpful if you have any questions!

We had the best meal and waitress today! Sooo much better than our Knoxville experience. Our server was very knowledgeable of our gluten free and dairy free options! Holly was truly amazing!!

This is a great place!! We enjoyed our delicious burgers & fries at the huge outdoor seating area with our 2 dogs. Their gluten free bun was pretty good too. We then shared a piece of their gluten free carrot cake and OMG!!! We'll definitely be back!

Absolutely loved the buffet so many options if you are a vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free. The ambiance is so cozy and service was on point. Loved the watermelon juice it’s at the bar.

A great lunch spot while visiting Biltmore Estate. GF items are marked. They don’t have a dedicated fryer for fries at this restaurant. The GF buns are homemade and are so delicious!!

We went here for my moms 70th birthday and holy smokes did it exceed all of my expectations. The service was incredible, attentive and sincere. Our server did an amazing job of staying on top of all our needs while also giving us space to enjoy and never making us feel rushed. We took almost all of his recommendations for food, from apps to mains and dessert and each one was spot on and delicious. I so appreciated that management came to our table to check in and how special they all made my mom feel. The food was out of control good with so many gluten free options for me that everyone enjoyed sharing. The vibe and atmosphere were perfect for a nice dinner, celebration or some romance. I can't believe I waited this long to go here even though it's in my neighborhood. I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate my mom. I'm a customer for life now and I can't wait to go back.

Daughter has celiac so always a struggle when traveling to find good food options. This is one you won’t be disappointed with. Food was good, service was good and they took caution with gluten allergy. Highly recommended!

Curate is one of the better dining experiences we have had in Asheville. I took a friend there for her birthday and it was a most pleasant experience. The interior of the restaurant is expansive with several different rooms, yet it feels intimate. I was happy to notice that there were several tables for larger parties - after all, small plates are more fun when you share! We chose 3 different small plates and two large plates. The mushrooms and pork were our favorites but all food is carefully prepared and food is high quality. Wine list is on the pricy side. I am medically gluten free and there were several options that were available, and our server pointed out options that could also be made gluten free. For dessert we received a gorgeous custom made cake on a pedestal - it was small (about 3 inches in diameter) but was extremely rich and was ample for the two of us. Would definitely to return to sample different dishes! Tip - go early - it gets crowded quickly. When we left there was an hour wait. Reservations a must.

I was having a BIG french fry craving but so many places had long waits. I saw that this place had tater tots so I thought, "What hell- I'll give this place a try". OMG! This place has the best tater tots I've ever had in my life!!! I'm so happy that I couldn't get into other places because otherwise, I would have never found this restaurant. Everyone here was so nice and I can't wait to go back! I have a gluten allergy and I'm mostly vegan- this place seems to have quite a few nice options. If you don't feel like eating a meal here, for the love of god, get some of those tater tots!!!

We had a great experience! We had a party of 5 for brunch and we all had various dietary restrictions and this restaurant could easily accommodate gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, etc. They are established that was so everything was so easy. The food interesting! There was a twist to every dish that made deciding which dish to order a real challenge! Yum! Everyone at our table loved their food and we each ordered something different. Our service was wonderful, just the right amount of attentiveness. The ambiance was nice and interesting and not too loud so we could all carry on a conversation with a party this size. Prices were very reasonable so we will definitely be back!

We were excited for a rooftop bar, but it was just average in excitement. The cocktail was good, but the place was missing something. No music, heaters weren't on to go outside, but it was cold and foggy. Not much for gluten-free needs.

A brewery to relax and hang for awhile. Excellent beer and Delicious food options you can order from your seat and walk to pick up or even be delivered. I loved the coffee porter and the Saison. I started with a flight and there wasn’t a beer I didn’t like. Packed house on Tuesday night for Trivia. Gluten free?? Not a problem there is a beer option, seltzer and wine!

Very good Thanksgiving dinner. Food was wonderful, very good care for gluten sensitivity & info sharing about ingredients of everything. Drinks were creative & competently prepared.
