Top 3 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Enjoy in Bar Harbor

Jacqueline Loiseau

Amazing spot! The GF IPA was so good we went to buy some at the liquor store after dinner! My husband and I had the burger and pizza and would never guess they were both GF!

Very knowledgeable staff for allergies. I got the fish tacos and when I asked the waitress about switching the sauce from a dairy one she had an amazing recommendation! The tacos came as a rice bowl for GF and had an allergy notice indicated on my meal. Amazing place!

This restaurant had a great menu with gluten free options. The hostess, Katherine, checked on us frequently. She shared a few recipes for my entree and dessert.

Loved the atmosphere and hospitality of the owners. Everything we ate was tasty and flavourful. Mango lassi made me happy. I am very grateful to find safe gluten-free options. The patio is lovely and away from the big street. We could sit and chat peacefully.

My boyfriend and I had a great time at 2 Cats this morning! He got the corn beef hash and I got the gluten free blueberry pancakes. Both of us left full and satisfied. I can’t wait to come back later in our trip and try something new - especially since the spicy home fries are gluten free as well.

We wanted a late night slice and the restaurant was crazy busy even though they were going to close in about 20 minutes. We went in and my husband ordered a slice and asked if they sold gluten free by the slice. They said sorry no but that they could make a GF pizza for me and it would be done in about 10 minutes. So that's what we did. The pizza is delicious, the service is wonderful and the atmosphere there is fun. Rosalie's is fantastic!

Ruth Myers

Excellent service and a wide range of food options. As someone who follows a gluten-free diet, it's a relief to find restaurants that are knowledgeable about safe ingredients for people with allergies.

Indigo Burford

Great experience, especially if you are gluten free! The menu was marked and there were a variety of options! The lobster taco special on corn tortillas was amazing - and our server Jesse was fabulous!

Cayla Hanson

Added after reply: Hooray! I'm VERY happy with the pizza now that I know the fried chicken is GF :) I ordered a BYO Gluten free pizza with chicken, bacon, and ranch(difficult to order online if you have dietary needs, not much info on what your ordering and no allergy/note section). After I picked it up, I noticed they had put fried chicken on a gluten free crust, and I tried to call to ask, and it was very difficult to find their phone number and they didn't pick up the phone anyways. Luckily, the second pizza we ordered was okay and it was still delicious

Siam Orchid is a great restaurant! The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, the food is incredible, and the service is timely! They have traditional staples while also being able to accommodate and modify for food allergies like vegan and gluten free making it the perfect place for everyone in your party. Yum!

Totally fine and well priced. The vegan options are lumped in with the gluten free which is a minus for me. The two vegan options are a beyond burger and a bran burger, and they don't have a non-gluten-free but vegan bun. That being said, if you ask them, they can put it on their ciabatta bun which is vegan and really tasty (just make sure you specify no butter when they grill it) I was honestly more in it for the fries which were really good. Crispy exterior but soft inside. They also have a nice selection of local beers on draft and can.

Our server, Julia, was incredibly attentive, considerate and accommodating. We asked about some gluten free choices and she checked with the kitchen before placing the order. All four of us enjoyed our meals. It was a lovely night in the outside terrace seating area, which is surrounded by landscapes and is not directly on the street. It's quiet and relaxing on the terrace. I had the Halibut which was served over lobster risotto and green beans topped by a bit of Beurre blanc, a buttery sauce. Halibut being my favorite fish. It was perfectly cooked, not overdone. Halibut is a fish that is overcooked in many places in my opinion. Perfectly white and flaky. Well plated. I didn't find any lobster in the risotto, if you want real lobster risotto, Josie's in Ellsworth is the place to go. There you get 2 or 3 ounces of real lobster meat blended with the risotto. It can be a meal in itself at Josie's

Website showed same menu as other location, but when we got there it was a limited menu. Wine $16 a glass, really? Gluten-free bun on fish sandwich was too big, no tarter sauce on fish sandwich, overcooked fries. $100 dinner disappointing.

Stopped in for dinner in the off season and they even let our dog sit with us in the heated patio area! Got the GF tacos with a GF IPA and both were delicious

Anne Bibee

Well this was a treat! I am gluten and dairy free. My husband is not. We both wanted to the mussels appetizer but I cannot have the cream sauce. Waitress offered to split the appetizer and make mine dairy free. So nice and it was a win! I ordered the Aranchera flank steak for my main course with asparagus and potato salad. It was absolutely the best steak I have ever had. I needed no dietary alterations and I just loved it. It has an amazing crust with cilantro and red wine flavor. Thank you! We had our kids with us and both loved the pizza and chicken fingers. My son rated the chicken fingers a 10/10 - they were homemade, not frozen.

Fake advertisement! They have a banner on the outside of the building saying "gluten free lobster rolls" my husband and I clammered to get there after a 5-mike trail run in the rain, we were starving to find their munu states that the gluten free option is a lettuce wrap!! And then they were out of lobster and they had just opened ...

Kallie Motola

Super awesome place. Great staff and vibes. They have a good amount of veggie options and even some gluten free ones. Great drinks! I love the old fashioned. The loaded fries are also very good and the veggie curry.

Tim Harmston

This pizza is fantastic. I had a 9” Buffalo Chicken pie and it was super tasty, while my wife enjoyed her Gluten Free crust sausage & mushroom. Took it to go, although I would like to check out the bar and patio sometime. Will be back

Gail Fuller

This was by far the best meal I had during our 10-day New England road trip. I got the lobster roll but on gluten free bread. It was perfectly prepared and insanely delicious. My daughter said the bacon cheese fries were spectacular. I foresee another trip to Bar Harbor just to visit Melt.

Burcu Gozluklu

Definitely recommended for gluten-free food lovers! Pizza and salad both were delicious. Service was super fast and staff was super friendly and helpful with gluten-free options.

Christine Wesley

Great food and service. Several Gluten free options. Tasty cocktails.

Garrett Mitchell

This place was a great find, very celiac friendly! The waiters were very nice, the food was great, and the wooden vibe was super cool. I had the Cesar salad with haddock and it was cooked perfectly.

Kate

I love so much about this place! As a gluten free vegan living here, I rarely ever go out. There just aren’t options. So to have a place capable (and willing) to making all entrees v/gf makes me feel more welcome than any other establishment on the island. The food itself is beautiful and tasty. High quality ingredients, and everything is handmade (even the noodles.) For those who think the price is high - yeah, it’s an island. Nothing is cheap here, especially not ingredients which aren’t mainstream in this area. And knowing that profits are going back into the community, helping the island’s food insecurity issues, makes me more than willing to pay. For those who think the food is bland. It probably is if your taste buds are jacked up from eating a diet of predominantly processed food. I eat a whole food diet, and found flavors of my ramen bowl to be amazing (saltier than I’m used to, but I don’t normally eat salt.) I’m blown away by the fact that the brains behind this is two recent grads in their 20’s. Bravo!!! You’re bringing much desired quality to town. It’s fun to eat at community tables, chat with strangers, and experience something different from the typical tourist food scene. Come with an open mind 🥰

Came here for gluten free options (due to reviews) but everything is cross contaminated. After asking questions we discovered only the oatmeal was safe- which really was delicious! Everyone else enjoyed their food. Didn’t rate the service super high because the server was clearly annoyed with our menu questions.

Kristin Ellm

Tucked away on the “side street” we got a table outside. Our bartender/server was so good with my kids,had good recommendations, and was attentive. Good gluten free options, tasty margarita and the kids liked their food. Good vibes, good service, and we’re lucky to go on a night with live music (great Neil Young covers among other good music). Perfect volume too. Definitely check it out!

Sabine Boll

We were hungry and looked at different restaurants. The Terrace Grill had the most beautiful patio, it was early evening and the sun was shining. The young lady at the reception gave us a menu and the time to read it, then we were given a table directly with a sea view. The service came from Kim, our waitress, and was perfect. Very friendly, helpful (need gluten free) and confident. The food was very good, delicious fish for my husband and a really, really good burger with a gluten-free brioche bun for me. A bottle of rosé rounded off the evening. As we were leaving, another waiter, a young man, also thanked us. The food was very good, but the staff made the evening special. Thanks a lot and we’ll be back👍🏼🤗

Dawn Smeltz

It was amazing, the waitress really was helpful to my friend who had a gluten allergy and everything was so good and well priced

Renee Divine

My husband and I stopped in for a quick bite to eat during happy hour. He really enjoyed his blueberry old fashioned and although we usually eat gluten free, we had the Caprese flatbread that was half price for happy hour as well as a bowl of lobster bisque. The flatbread was quite good as well as the bisque. Would have just hoped to get a larger bowl of bisque for the price. Despite comments by other reviewers, we found the staff to be attentive and friendly and the food came out very quickly. Our waiter, Adam, was excellent and the location was fun for people watching in downtown Bar Harbor.

Rob Cote

The service was great and they offer a wide selection of gluten free menu options.

Timothy Adam Harvey

This place is great! The vibe is relaxed, service attentive, and the food was creative and delicious. Was easy to accommodate gluten free and dairy free, too. I’ll plan to come back next time I’m in Bar Harbor 😊

Marifer J

Eat here at least once a week, shrimp lo mein is great and so is their chicken Pad Thai (gluten free).

Alizza Mitchell

This restaurant was highly recommended to us by someone from the area when we were visiting for the evening. We arrived and walked in with my service dog and we were told we needed to sit outside. It is 50° overcast and misty in the air. We asked if we could sit inside and the host said shook his head and said that he would prefer we were outside. We asked if it was because of the dog. He smugly smiled and nodded. We proceeded to tell him we would not be dining there, and my husband told him that was against the law. I cannot believe we were turned away with our service dog. He is a 25lbs very well behaved service dog. Go to Geddys nice and respectful. And great gluten free options! See photo of my well behaved boy!
