Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots Across Portsmouth

Marz Kay

One of my safe spots in the Seacoast region. Everything I’ve tried here is delicious and I’ve never been ill after eating here.

Paulina Vitello

The best gluten free popovers. Always stop by when we're in the area and get a whole box to-go.

Hannah Kayali

Everything was great! We had a large party, which they were able to seat quickly and we all had food not long after order. I had the gluten free pizza, which impressed me and was not dry or crumbly at all. Very, very good!

Anna Salisbury

They understand allergies and cross contamination, they are known for their high standards of allergy friendly food. My group that went had lots of different allergies and they were able to make safe food for all of us. I got an amazing gluten free and dairy free meal. The staff was very respectful as well

A cozy local restaurant that offers their unique take on classic American cuisine. They are located in a charming building with plenty of street parking available surrounding the establishment. For nicer weather, there is a side patio with tables shaded with umbrellas and their main dining area. The selection of food is perfect for lunch or dinner and not overwhelming, plus they have a full bar. They serve plenty of local beer and cider, which is an excellent way to sample what the area has to offer. The majority of the menu is gluten-free, and they do offer gluten-free substitutions for sandwiches and pasta. The real highlight of the meal are their spudsters - mashed potatoes made into little conical shapes with a piping bag, probably frozen, and then deep fried. They have seasonings and sauces to choose from to create endless tasting combinations. Absolutely my new favorite appetizer, and I would come back just for these. Everyone enjoyed their lunch and we were very happy we decided to stop. We will definitely be by again when in the area.

I recently visited The Friendly Toast in Boston’s Back Bay, and it quickly became one of my favorite brunch spots. The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a vibrant, retro-inspired atmosphere filled with eclectic decor that added a fun and welcoming vibe to the dining experience.  The menu was impressively diverse, catering to various dietary preferences, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. I decided to try the “Hash Quiche,” which was a delightful combination of cheesy eggs accompanied by a fresh fruit salad . The flavors were rich and satisfying, making it a standout dish.  My friend opted for the “Breakfast Burrito,” which was generously filled and packed with flavor. The portion sizes were substantial, ensuring we left feeling full and content. We also shared the “French Toast Monster,” a cinnamon raisin French toast served with bacon, eggs, and home fries. It was a perfect blend of sweet and savory, and even though we got it to-go, it remained fresh and delicious .  The service was prompt and friendly, with staff members who were attentive and eager to ensure we had a great experience. Despite the bustling environment, our food arrived quickly, and the staff maintained a cheerful demeanor throughout our visit. Overall, The Friendly Toast offers a unique and enjoyable dining experience with its creative menu, generous portions, and lively atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable brunch spot in Boston.

Having a gluten allergy and going out to restaurants and not feeling safe is incredibly common. The service of Ella and hunter was super helpful and made me feel safe with my allergy. Not to mention that the food is great

Mara Tzizik Swanson

Great food love. How many gluten-free options there are!

Alexis Frobin

Very nice people, many gluten free options, and you’re able to select your spice level on a scale of 1 to 10! Make sure to get a dessert.

Monica Galbraith

I have celiac disease, and the minute the server (whose name is also Monica) found out she was very diligent in making sure my food was safe! She double checked each dish so that I had no worries about eating :)

Bill Southworth

My wife and I eat out a lot — probably more than we should — and honestly, most places blur together. Same look, same food, same “safe” hotel kitchen vibe. Napoletana Pizzeria & Bar is a refreshing exception. It feels like the kind of neighborhood spot you’d find in Italy, or the way Boston’s North End used to be before it got over-gentrified. The food is bold and rustic, the space has real warmth — exposed brick, wood beams, no flash — just good energy and honest cooking. We often go during Happy Hour (4–6pm). The menu stays the same, but the prices on drinks and appetizers drop. From the main menu, don’t miss the Griglie Miste — a mixed grill of sausage, steak tips, and chicken. Everything is cooked just right, and the char from the grill brings it all together. It’s big enough to share, but you might not want to. The Mussels Fra Diavolo are another standout. Served as an appetizer, but easily a meal on their own. The broth is deep, rich, and spicy — and if heat isn’t your thing, they’ll tone it down while keeping the flavor. We get them almost every time. If they have it, grab a glass of the Toscano wine. It’s imported by their parent company, Tuscan Kitchen, and it punches way above its price. The pizzas? Excellent. Rectangular (except for gluten-free), crisp crust, fresh toppings — exactly what you want from a proper pizza. The service is always sharp and friendly. Napoletana has become our go-to spot. It’s not trying to be trendy. It just is that good.

Sarah Boucher

Very delicious, gluten free options. The pancakes were so huge my teenager had to bring some home! Kind staff.

Jackie Murtha

First time going for lunch on a Saturday and it was a great experience! The service was wonderful and the food and drinks were delicious. I consider the menu to be more “modern” Mexican with some really cool and unique offerings and solid portions. I highly recommend the confit pork belly taco, masa fried shrimp taco, and OG tofu taco. 🌮 I also love that their soft shells are made from gluten-free blue corn tortillas and that they have vegetarian options as well. Very eager to go back and try their brunch!

Great burgers, gluten free and veggie options where A+

Matthew Vitello

Stopped in after hitting up the Kittery Outlets. Went around 3:00 so the place was close to empty. The food and drinks were AMAZING. I got the Burger with an adult milk shake. My wife (gluten free) got the Reuben burger with the apple pie margarita. My wife said it was one of the best burgers she's ever had. Server was accommodating with my wife's gluten allergy and to d came out quick. We will be coming back ASAP.

Robin K.

We eat at a lot of poke places as many have gluten free options for my daughter with celiac disease. Not the best poke bowl we've ever had. It was okay/good. A decent option when there aren't that many choices available.

Jay Bird

I mean how can you not love this local pub. The pizza is always the best and have a great gluten free option, A must stop when I am in the area! The Sprimp pesto is my favorite but the Neptune is the bomb also!

CR

I visit this location once or twice a month, and each time, I'm consistently impressed by the exceptional service. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and thorough in their approach, creating an overall wonderful experience. On my most recent visit, about three weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being served by Becca, who truly stood out. She was not only attentive but also incredibly accommodating and kind, going above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. I happened to visit on the last day of the old menu, and as always, the staff demonstrated great knowledge of the gluten-free options available, which I really appreciate. It’s rare to find such a consistently high level of service, and this team never fails to impress!

Christine Cousin

We love Rosa's. The food is always excellent and authentic. Gluten free penne pasta is undetectable from traditional. The house salad will make you ask; "How do they do this?". Atmosphere is so comfortable and inviting. Great service too. Remember if they are busy it's because they are GOOD!

Emily Dunham

I don’t usually write reviews but I felt compelled to after our experience at this lovely establishment. We stumbled across this place on accident and we are surely glad we did. We were met by kind, patient and knowledgeable service. The menu is intimate with flavorful options many of which could be gluten free! There were descriptions of each item which was helpful if you don’t know Thai cuisine. I wanted to try everything because all of the dishes sounded sooo good. When the food arrived (in a timely manner) the presentation, flavors and portions were just right! You can tell the chef cooks with his heart. Every bite is unique and flavorful! The dishes I tasted were even more elevated than those I’ve had in Thailand. We will definitely be back to sample the differently monthly specials. Thank you Five81*NE!

Lisa Gundlach

We've been here 2x, and both times, the food, cocktails, and service were outstanding. I was happy to learn that their Karaage Chicken was gluten free and it was so delicious!

Marget Read

Honestly, I’m disappointed. I ate here with a couple friends, one with a gluten intolerance and a shellfish allergy. We informed our server of this when we ordered and she was great. When food arrived, immediately after this friend received her food, we were informed that she couldn’t eat her fries because the chefs found a crab cake in the fryer. It was okay and the server even got us free mashed potatoes for her. When the new plate came, we caught that her bun for her sandwich was in fact, not gluten free. She then just ate it without the bread because we were so fed up because as well as this, multiple of us found weird bits in our drinks, one that we pulled out even looking like a moldy piece of cheese. The servers were great about this though, and apologized profusely. Unfortunately I can’t say I was satisfied with my experience here.

Jonny Moore

A go to place for the Gluten Free folks in our family. Most of the battered/fried seafood option have a GF variant that's really well done. Overall high quality and great location.

Shannon McPhee

Very loyal customer of Jersey Mikes. Staff is super friendly and great at accommodating my gluten allergy. They use separate tools and wipe everything down in front of me and always in stock on gluten free bread. Never have to worry when coming here!

Helen Wheels

Outdoor seating was a great choice for lunch. Our server was friendly and helpful. My beet salad was fantastic! The lobster roll was a little wet and alot of celery. Cocktails were great! Good variety of menu items and gluten fee choices, too.

Killeen Martell

Great food. Everything was well prepared and seasoned perfectly. Some of us are vegetarian, some keto, some gluten-free. It was really easy to mix and match multiple entrees we all could enjoy. The shrimp rolls were amazing; so fresh and delicious!!

Steve Ross

Food and service was amazing! They do a fantastic job and had great gluten free options for my girlfriend. Highly recommend.

jennifer Gomez

Fast Didn’t get sick from the gluten-free choice

Kate

As a gluten-free vegan this place is a dream! It’s one of our two favorite local restaurants. Eating outside on the patio this summer has been wonderful as we’re over getting take-out with all the waste (they use plastic containers which we reuse.) Kind, helpful staff who recognize us with smiles. Delicious food. My favorite is the Vegetable Korma made dairy-free. Veg section on menu, GF labels. Very reasonably priced for the area.

Ann Fox

We've always loved the atmosphere at Row 34 in Portsmouth. Oysters are fresh and delicious with a depth of variety. Last night, I ordered the wild shrimp with asparagus, parmesan and meyer lemon dish. The dish arrived, and then I realized it came with (delicious looking) pasta. But, I don't eat gluten. (Note: the server asked if there were any allergies, and I said no, as it isn't an allergy and I figured I could order appropriately.) The server and chef were gracious and so helpful. The chef remade my dish with rice--honestly the best dish I've ever had at Row 34. The pasta dish looked so good, too. Highly recommend.

During our recent day trip, we enjoyed lunch at the Thirsty Moose before heading home. This restaurant has an impressive selection of beer, cider, hard seltzer, a full bar, and non-alcoholic drinks. Their expansive bar is backed by a continuous wall of TVs and more dot the walls of the dining areas. The open restaurant has plenty of seating, especially along the bar. Their menu has all the classic pub food, some with an inventive twist and clever names. They have a gluten-free menu available but not a dedicated fryer. I really enjoyed my cauliflower crust Greek pizza, and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the Bullwinkle burger and was able to upgrade it to two patties. Our server, Sean, was attentive, friendly, and made sure our experience was perfect. This is an excellent location to stop by for a meal for solo guests, couples, families, or groups. We'd definitely come back to Thristy Moose the next time we're in the area.

Dave Costa

I haven't had a bad meal at 99 to date. We tried the new romaine wedge salad by way of the gluten free menu, which is calorie light and the perfect size for our "bridge" meal in the middle of the day. There's another version on the salad page, but with extras that more than double the calories.

Kai K

I’ve gone here for cannolis a couple times but never bought pizza. I’ve always enjoyed their cannolis and loved that they were one of the few places open late as I get out of work late some evenings and forget to eat something. I bought a slice for the first time today and it was a great size for the price as well as they have a deal for a free cannoli with a slice before 8pm. Every time I have gone the service has been very kind and nice to talk to. I hadn’t left a review before because I often forget but felt I should as I’ve never had a bad experience. I’d also like to add that my friend has a gluten allergy and had never had a gluten free cannoli before and they have them here! Every time I visit nj now he asks me to bring him one.

Sarah Shields

We sat at the bar (AJ was great), and all of our dishes and drinks were delicious! They have a gluten free menu (both cross contamination ok, and not ok) too, which was good for our group. I love places that give you a bottle of water to refill your own glass. The whoopie pie sliders for dessert was the icing on a wonderful evening.

Elizabeth Varney

Gluten Free Lobster Roll!!! Reasonable Prices.

Adam Egelberg

Food is delicious, seating indoors has a cool vibe, & the OUTDOOR DOG-FRIENDLY PATIO is the BEST. Staff is welcoming and friendly and very knowledgeable about allergies. Gluten free and dairy free crust and cheese is available! Take your furry friends and run, don't walk, to Dough ASAP!

Elizabeth Harlow

Great gluten free options!! I loved today’s visit. I ordered the fun size veggie Bennie with a side of corned beef hash. The hash was on the spicy side which was to my taste. . The Cemita sandwich and speciality fries lived up to the positive reviews. Apologies the picture was taken after enjoying 1/2 the meal.

Jenny

Absolutely fantastic in every way! The staff is super nice and friendly, the food is delicious, and the best part - they have lots of gluten free options on the menu!!

Kathryn Ranieri

First, let me say, how delighted and surprised at the growth in Portsmouth, NH. Second, for me, La Maison Navarre is an especially wonderful addition because I miss those precious moments on business trips enjoying scrumptious pastries and coffee in Paris. La Maison Navarre was a genuine delight in every aspect, more so because my granddaughter was over the moon with the gluten free Paris Brest. She resides in Boston and flies for American Airlines. You can be assured the good word will be spread far and wide about your lovely cafe.

Helen Sheen

Hearth boasts an impressive exterior and gorgeous interior. It is warm and opulent, with cafeteria style dining. Given few gluten free options, I ordered in the cafe/ bakery section: a turkey BLAT sandwich on gluten free bread; it came with house made pickle slices and chips. It was not clear if the fryer was dedicated for chips or gluten free foods. I waited about 15 minutes for my sandwich before seeing it sitting on the counter in front of the cashier; he had not called my name. The sandwich was tasty, but $15 felt steep. I noticed bus bins full of dirty dishes and overflowing trash. I really wanted to enjoy my lunch at Hearth, but for me, it wasn't worth the visit.

Jenna Chestnut

I’ve only ever gotten takeout here but the food is always good. I LOVE that they have a gluten free crust that isn’t the crunchy thin kind. And their salads and dressings are always fresh and yummy!

Brittany Trombetto

I would like to start by saying I have always been a huge fan of Bennetts. I am gluten free (sensitivity not an allergy) and it's always a very convenient place to go that doesn't upset my stomach. Well today I had a very different experience than what I was typically used to receiving from Bennetts. Today I came in with my mother, brother and sister. 3/4 sandwiches we ordered were gluten free, we informed them that we all only had a sensitivity NOT an allergy. Very quickly after ordering and sitting down we could hear one of the cooks LOUDLY complaining about us and making fun of us for "ordering gluten free food at a sub shop". We had to take our food to go and eat elsewhere because the interaction left us all very uncomfortable. I must say I am immensely disappointed in this experience and don't honestly know if I will ever return to Bennetts.

Matthew Torrisi

Extremely good and great gluten free selection!

Cara Karpinski

My husband and I have been to The Library Restaurant previously. We decided to dine there again for Mother’s Day 2025. We made a reservation for lunch and we got a phone call the day before letting us know they upgraded us and put us in the main dining room in front of the fireplace, super awesome! When we arrived, we were seated right away and then promptly greeted by our server, Leah K. She was kind, funny, polite and made suggestions every step of the way. We first ordered drinks from the bar, a dirty martini for me and a margarita for the hubby. We then ordered steak tartar from the starter menu. I have had it before at other fine steak houses, but I have to say, this one was not great. It was chewy, lots of fat and not much flavor at all. Next time, we will pass on the appetizer. The main meal: I ordered the 8oz filet medium rare and my husband ordered the gentlemen’s cut rare. Both steaks were done to perfection. We also ordered a side to share, potatoes au gratin, which were amazing. I ordered another drink, but it took so long, I was going to cancel. Our fabulous server, Leah K, said it will be made, but at no charge to us. Very kind of her to rectify the issue. We ordered dessert to go, the chocolate layered cake, chocolate mousse (GF) for my celiac daughter who had to work :( and a slice of carrot cake for me. All desserts were good, flavorful. The carrot cake was really fresh when I had a bite of it before bed, I was so full from lunch, I didn’t get to enjoy it on Mother’s Day. Overall a great meal and wonderful service. I am sure we will be back again.

Great atmosphere. Friendly service. Good food. Gluten free available.

Rebecca CORBIN

This is SUCH a cute place! The staff was very sweet, and they had great gluten-free options. I'll definitely be back!

Roberta Reilly

Tuscan Market is centrally located to Portsmouth with a very cool vibe - many plants and relaxing lighting to make for a nice ambiance with a date, family, friends and even solo. The food and drinks are good (Amalfi Mule & Mussels my personal favorite) but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, especially pizza which has a yummy gluten free option.

Mark Levasseur

I dont do reveiws often but this place deserves one !!! If you want great food awesome atmosphere this is the place !!!! My wife and i travel 50 miles to eat here. the gluten free pizza is the best i ever had !!!!!!! Been to many other places that do even compair. My wife had grilled chicken salad and it was huge and fresh. #worth the trip. #love the flare #cant wait to get back there. Thanks 😊

Julia Grandstaff

I was sad to realize that on date night, my husband was able to order the pasta carbonara and newly gluten-free me wasn’t. This is arguably the best dish in Portsmouth. When I got there I was SO HAPPY to find out they can do the dish with GF pasta. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good and I was so pleasantly surprised. It was delicious. As good as I remembered it. Best GF pasta I’ve ever had. It’s the next day and I’m still thinking about it!
