Tucked in the farmers market is Holy Crepes! A fabulous find while on our NO adventure. Great choice of savory and sweet (gluten free is an option). We went sweet with Elvis and Pralines both were delicious! Take the trolly down Canal to this hidden gem.

Ordered the burger, medium rare, and it was burnt. Order a gluten-free bun, which is normally good, but this one was so hard. I couldn’t bite into it. Ordered the chard cauliflower and it was barely cooked. Complete waste of money.

My husband ordered a cup of gumbo and the combination platter. He bit into shell fragments twice. The bread was not very flavorful. To top it off he ended up with severe food poisoning. I’m celiac and ordered jambalaya from the gluten free menu and also ended up with diarrhea. Didn’t make a great impression seeing that it was our first time in Louisiana.

As a vegetarian with Celiac Disease, I felt so comfortable ordering from their menu since everything is gluten free. Our food was delicious and the staff was extremely attentive. Prices were also bery reasonable. My husband who eats gluten and meat said his food was also phenomenal, so highly recommended for everyone!

We waited 40mn for a table for a late dinner. The person at the reception wasnt the friendliest but we were hungry. BIG SHOUT-OUT to Paul on the merch side to be kind enough to talk to us while we waited! We finally got a table and ended up waiting 15/20 mn to get a server. Wasnt too thrilled about that. Server was nice and informative on food allergies though. They have a gluten free menu available, but the seasoned fries weren't gluten free, needs updated. We got a burger and a pulled pork sandwich with green beans sub for fries. Overall wasnt impressed with the food specially for the price. Manager came to check on us and we ended up talking about music and tattoos! Memorabilia was interesting on the walls.

Food was fresh, fries tasted great. I didn't try to avocado bacon burger but the avocado was sliced thick and looked good. Gluten free bun was not soft. No ice for water. No employees in floor except to pass out food. Plenty of employees behind counter. They were very nice at counter though. Place was clean looking. No kid meals on menu.

If you love macarons, you'll love Sucré. It's our go-to for gluten-free desserts. The macarons are delicious (don't sleep on pistachio) and the gelato is excellent. I love the toasted almond, it tastes like marzipan ice cream. The space can be a little loud, but it has a very cute vibe, and they're open until midnight, making it a good spot after dinner. Don't skip this one!

Love these crepes! They are gluten free and have a great flavor and texture. The mango deluxe is amazing but they have a big variety of savory and sweet crepes. They also have a lot of drink options and they make it so easy to order and get points for free drinks.

Fresh. Inventive but not overpowering in the sense that the ingredients themselves are really honored in the dishes. Clean, very sweet staff (they’re not overpowering either but very helpful) and - big bonus for me, a celiac - there were literally no restrictions, save for a quick swap of soy sauce for tamari. I repeat: I WAS TOLD I COULD ORDER ANYTHING I WANTED. Ordering sushi is tough for a celiac between the sneaky omnipresent culprits of soy sauce and imitation crabmeat. I had a roll with crab in it and wasn’t poisoned for a week because it wasn’t faux crab! It was real crab! I could have cried! The 90’s tunes made my heart sing, along with the beautiful handmade ceramic dishes. I love everything about this place and will be back a bazillion times (probably).

This was my first time going to Insomnia and I LOVED it. Friendly staff, delicious, warm and fresh cookies. The gluten free chocolate chip was awesome, as was the vegan chocolate chunk. I will definitely be patronizing them again!
