Top 10 Gluten-Free Cocktail Bars to Experience in Richmond

Kate

Great alternative brunch spot! Excellent GF waffles (both sweet and savory), but GF protein choices are limited. This spot consistently makes a kick ass cup of coffee.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! My partner has celiac and they have a full gluten free menu. We go at least once a month. I highly recommend for ANYONE!

Our waiter Badhan was very nice and helpful. I have a gluten allergy (celiac) and he helped me find items on the menu that were safe to eat and made sure there was no cross contamination. Excellent service!

Gabe was the best!!! I have celiac and he was super careful with my food. 10/10 for Gabe!

It has some of the kindest staff members I have met. This is why the 3 exists. If you have severe food allergies, it is not a place for you unless you are there to enjoy bevs. I am not sure why it has been RVAs best as the food is as common as elsewhere BUT as I mentioned before, the folks make you feel like you are wanted and in a time where this is not common, it is appreciated. The salmon is not wild and cut super thick for sashimi. None of this means anything unless it is important to you, so please understand my position. People were smiling, enjoying the food, and atmosphere. For me or people allergic to sesame, gluten, and mushroom, I would recommend Carytown Sushi instead.

Tasty food in a lovely space. The service was very fast and attentive. There are many gluten free options(be sure to let your server know you want the GFO) All our food was delicious and the serving size was generous. It’s pricier than your everyday take out, but this restaurant has wonderful quality. Can’t wait to return to Peter Chang’s!

12/10. This place is phenomenal. The food and service were both top notch. Also, lucky for me they have A LOT of gluten free options, for those who have allergies or sensitivities to gluten. I figured they would have at least a few options but according to our server, either the owner or the head chef has celiac so they try to incorporate several gluten free options for guests. So we ordered the fried broccolette, the seven hills 16 oz ribeye, and the Greg’s catch of the day. The broccolette might not sound that interesting but it was actually super delicious and 10 times better than we thought it would be. We only ordered after our server (i think her name is Kat) recommended it. The ribeye was really good on its own, but the Greg’s catch was the pride and joy of the evening. I didn’t know what panisse was before this evening and now I know it’s one of my favorite food items. It was paired with a trout/salmon like fish and it had a sauce spread all around it too. That dish would be my recommendation to anyone. Our server, Kat, explained a lot to us and was super helpful with recommendations. Definitely coming back.

We had a graduation/Mother’s Day celebration with a party of 7 and Audrey was very attentive and took great care of us. We had a great time and food was amazing! They were very great about helping with gluten or dairy free accommodations.

Great food and service. Plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options!

I want to start by saying I have been to this restaurant before and have had MUCH different experiences. My rating is based on this experience. We ordered wine and two of the artichoke appetizers. The bottle we ordered was mid priced, they were out of it and we were immediately pitched the most expensive bottle only to find out our server hadn’t even tried it. We went with a different bottle after that. We had 2 very serious allergies celiac (gluten) and dairy. Both appetizers came out with cheese, our server didn’t come back fifteen minutes after they arrived so someone went up to the bar and said something. It took 20 more minutes to receive a new plate without apology. When we got our check we were charged for THREE appetizers rather than TWO. When we said something the server said “well you ate them didn’t you?” The plates were never removed from our table, while two people had allergies no one else did. We left one of the appetizers with cheese untouched and only assumed we should eat them when the new appetizer was brought to the table and no one removed the old ones (so we ate the rest even though it was cold). Overall one of the worst Richmond experiences I’ve ever had. Before we left we were told they “offer happy hour”.

Absolutely love this place! It’s quickly become my favorite cafe to cowork in. The staff is super friendly, the vibes are cozy, the food is comforting (they’re fantastic with gluten free people like me), the internet’s fast, and they obviously care a lot about the community. They even have a rack of coats available for people who need them and hot meals for anyone who’s hungry and can’t afford it. Totally the type of place we should be supporting!

Julia Myers

Great gluten free options, fresh beet salad, and nice dessert optios. Reminded me of time in Bologna Italy. Highly recommend!

Jada Calabrese

The food was wonderful as well as the service! Lunch time is not too crowded and a nice environment! They offer good options for gluten-free as well as vegan, will be back!

Aaron Roberts

The food here was absolutely fantastic and they had a wide variety of gluten free appetizers and entrees.

Stacy Street

I tried to order a couple of GF items, but was told that they do not have a dedicated fryer. Ended up not eating from the restaurant, so no actual problem. Just be careful and ask before ordering.

Jason Kaplan

Great food options with plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options. High quality food.
