Top 50 Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Havens Across Chicago

Mallory Carey

BEST GF BREAD EVER!!! Unfortunately it is very expensive thought

Susanna

they support the queer community and their pastries are phenomenal, especially the lemon bars 😉

An outrageously delicious & positive experience eating lunch here today. Mia took exceptionally good care of us – my mom is celiac, and was so thrilled with the level of attention and care she got. On top of that, the food was showstoppingly good! The chicken kebabs, falafel, hamachi and hummus were all 10/10.

Tabatha Phillips

Gluten, Vegan, and Vegetarian friendly! Soooo good! Loved it so much. Will return! Get the baked cauliflower!!

The Best

Not the best experience. Our waitress gave us indifferent answers about how the gluten free food is prepared. We ended up having to talk to the manager (which is something I hate asking for). The food ended up being okay and I didn’t have any reaction. It was nice to have gluten free mac and cheese! I think our experience would’ve been much better if we had a more educated waitress

According to Bloom’s website, “As of November 15, Bloom will no longer be exclusively gluten-free, but rest assured, we’re committed to maintaining ample gluten-free options and making our space as friendly as possible to those with allergies and dietary restrictions. We remain Chicago’s most gluten-conscious restaurant, and our team is committed to keeping plenty of delicious, fully gluten-free options that everyone can enjoy.”

Pasta. Fancy dinner.

We drive all the way from Lake Geneva, Wi (1.5 hours) to come here. I have celiac and their gluten free pizza is phenomenal. The true star of the show is the Eloté dip- you will be craving it for months after you have it! Whenever we’re in the area for a concert or trip, we make sure to stop. Highly recommend!! One of the best pizza places we have been to!

Good GF buns!

Sarah W

Great tapas restaurant with a marked gluten-free menu. Just check with your server about cross contact issues. I love the brussel sprout salad and the chirizo wrapped dates!

Sarah W

Dedicated GF restaurant with the best bowls! I love the fan favorite.

Rachel Mandelker

100% Gluten free and so so good! You can bring home taquitos frozen or they can heat them up for you - loved it!!

Monica Dempsey

Amazing- modern restaurant and attentive service. Plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options, and filling portions. The crispy potatoes deserve special mention- my group will be returning to try everything on the menu.

Liv G

Very cautious with allergies. Fries made in dedicated fryer. Gluten free bun or lettuce wrap available.

Sarah Lisy

I've never been to a gluten-free restaurant before. We went with family for brunch. Since 2 of our party are gluten-free, it was great not to try to find something you can have and still worry about cross contamination. Their waffles are funnel cakes...so good.

Michael Baron

Rice noodles and knowledgeable on gluten free broth and other items

C. Lor

I am so happy we stopped here for dinner. The staff were knowledgeable and so kind to me when I told them of my gluten and dairy allergies. Service was amazing and the food was sublime. I missed eating Italian for fear of cross contamination but they reassured me pasta were cooked separately. What a lovely place! I will be revisiting when I'm back in town. Edit: Forgot to add, my husband got an Amaretto sour and he said it was the BEST one he's had.

Taylor Nicole

smack dab is one of my new favorite breakfast spots! staff was so kind and friendly which made the experience that much better. as a gluten free girly breakfast sandwiches are hard to find in the city and they have two different kinds of gluten free bread that is amazing!!! love that they are so gluten free and dietary restriction friendly. will def be on my regular rotation now :)

Rachael Blanton

A great place to visit if you’re gluten free! Very accommodating!

Maria Fernanda Flores

The Gluten Free option is quite good, really recommended 10/10 ⭐️

R OC

We wanted something quick and easy close to our hotel. We found food revival, an indoor food court. I chose art of Dosa, where everything is gluten free and vegan and absolutely delicous! Server was so helpful and made suggestions. I chose the Buffalo Dosa and it came with the greatest spicy sauce.

Jake G

Busy place, get on the waiting list! Amazing gluten-free breakfast! Lots of bacon, really impressed, absolutely delicious.

Anna Keller

Ingrained is my favorite gluten free bakery in the city! I’ve never tried anything I didn’t love. All of the ingredients are so fresh and you can tell everything is made with love!

Stephon Berry

Enjoyed the Nadine, just substituted the pepperoni for chicken and my partner had a gluten free pesto chicken pizza. All in all a good dinner. I'd recommend for those with disposable income as it's not cheap, but it's not exorbitantly expensive. A single small pizza in enough to fill one person

Caitlin McAllister

Best gluten free dining experience I ever had

Jazmin Saban

Excellent place, great option if you have any dietary restrictions, it is all dairy free, gluten free, I loved it! I recommend

Jane Wilberding

I LOVE this place. The space is super large, clean and open. The service is great. And the ciders are solid. I like that they are constantly rotating and trying new ones out. But if and when they are too weird for me, they always keep some on the menu permanently (the pedestrian cider is a fav). I have celiac and there are plenty of GF options and staff are always helpful in making sure nothing is cross contaminated.

Dori D

Always a wonderful experience. We shared a salad, pasta course, main course & dessert ; everything came already divided which was so nice. My guest has a gluten allergy and we had plenty of options, no problem

Olivia Guzzardo

Fantastic food and restaurant. They offer gluten free and vegan options. They have a large patio in back that is really spacious and well decorated. Very affordable prices. Great drinks too!

Phil Cole

Rock music, best burger I've ever had and Gluten free buns, fries and wings!!! Go you won't regret it!

I’ve been to Au Cheval before my gluten allergy, but I have to say— the gluten-free route is the way to go, even if you’re not celiac! Service was fantastic, and they offer two gluten-free burger options: a hash brown simmered in beef tallow or lettuce cups. I chose the hash brown, which was crispy, buttery, and indulgent, but if you want the meat to shine, go for the lettuce cups. We also got the bone marrow, and it was to die for—highly recommend! If you’re GF, it comes with lettuce cups; otherwise, you get toast. They offer small (2 bones) and regular sizes—the small was perfect for sharing. That said, I’d rate the burger meat 7/10 — not quite the holy grail Chicagoans claim. And if there’s a long wait? Probably not worth it.

Great location/ambiance, great food, & great service! The fries & their sauces are off the charts delicious! Plenty of Gluten free options!

Kay S

Stopped by here for a late lunch after a quick search for gluten free options in the area. So glad I did! Service was prompt and the staff member working the counter was super nice and helpful. Lots of great options, clean dining area and restroom, I will be coming back.

Sarah W

Japanese BBQ spot with a separate GF menu and GF soy sauce!

Judy Young

Liv G

Arepas are gluten free and delicious

Rango Me

ASA WAS AMAZING!!! Catered to our gluten allergy!!! He was so attentive and kind will definitely come bavk

Britt Schneider

If your after a really good, quick, counter-service Mediterranean bowl or falafel that is healthy and much better than garbage fast food, this is a great place. Lots of gluten free options including a pita bread. The food was fresh, the hummus tasty, and sauces flavorful (tahini my fav). Lots of yummy rainbow veggie spectrum sides. We will go back often when looking for something fast and delicious. Update 6/12/23: We are here at least once a week!

Michael A.

Stopped in for weekend brunch . They do a really good job with the offerings and selection of items for brunch . Impressed to see they had a gluten free only menu as well ! I decided to go with a sandwich option . They have a spicy Calabrian chili turkey sandwich with bacon and avocado on a ciabatta style bread that was delicious . Big portion too . If you get the fries as I did , make sure you add on the truffle aioli ! It goes so well with everything. Service was good and attentive . We had a reservation and glad we did as it did appear to fill up very quickly We will definitely be back here

Katie McKee

Have eaten here many times and have always felt fine after

Mariah Schultz

Sunda Lunch Catering was great. Our group liked the Chicken, Tofu and LOVED the Pad Thai. Our Vegan/Gluten-Free guest appreciated all the options available including the individual salad. The delivery order drop off was smooth. Sam was super helpful and made sure to check in with me every step of the way ensuring our order was correct and set-up the way we wanted. Thank you again (Nicole) for all your help with coordinating! I will definitely keep Sunda in mind for future staff events.

Liv G

All of the ice cream is gluten free and vegan, as are the waffle cones. They do make some baked goods with gluten but are very knowledgeable on keeping them separate.

Sarah W

Dedicated GF restaurant with a bunch of marshmallow treats

Michael Baron

GF Detroit style pizza… life changer

Sarah W

Great GF pizza! Authentic Chicago food - a must visit. They cook it on a separate tray and do not cut it to avoid cross contact

julie macy

Everything about this cafe is charming, including Caesar. He makes your dining experience very personal, and the food is prepared right before you in an open kitchen. The atmosphere is very cozy, the food was delicious, and the experience was outstanding. This place is truly unique. They even offer gluten free pierogis!! This was the best dining experience on our Chicago trip.

Michael Baron

GF pita, saganaki, and more!

Frank Weigel

Really loved that our server was very familiar with celiacs and could steer my wife.

Justin Craven

Great food & customer service. Amazing vegan & gluten free options. Must try!!!!!
