Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Delight in Falls Church

Marie Leilani

The best brunch for gluten free

Richard Durkin

High ceilings and Southwest decor make Sweetwater Tavern a compelling restaurant. Great sandwiches and sides served by an attentive team of wait staff. They have their own beer on tap. The owners understand the needs of customers who have Celiac disease and offer gluten-free menu without being asked. Worth experiencing!

David Dotson

Wonderful vegan & gluten free options Very reasonably priced for tons of delicious food This location had lots of dine-in seating

Michelle Schuneman

Love all the healthy gluten free options!

Ayesha Mohsin

Very nice, gluten free and halal chicken and beef. The owner is very sweet and very helpful.

Our server Eric was very attentive to the needs of our table. Especially because we asked for gluten free dishes. He always checked with the chef whenever we had questions. Fortunately, they were very familiar with Celiac Disease and I had no worries about being able to eat at the restaurant. I enjoyed a medium rare steak on top of French fries and an over easy egg. The steak was tender and juicy which contrasted against the crunchy eggs and frencj fries. Everything was delicious and I would definitely come here again! P.s.Photo is a split portion because it was a shared plate

This is one of the best restaurants in Falls Church and one that I frequent a lot with family and friends alike. I have never had a bad meal at Fava Pot and have been for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - their breakfast is particularly good! Their food is consistently fresh and tastes truly home-made (in the best way). I think I could eat their fava beans or falafel every day of my life and never get tired. The staff is always so friendly! I recently had a catered family-style event from Fava Pot and everyone loved it! Dina (the owner) called me and walked through how much food she thought we needed. We needed gluten-free food due to guests with Celiac and I was blown away with how much care and attention was given towards making sure the food was labeled and Celiac-safe. The catering process was easy and the food was presented beautifully. I would definitely recommend Fava Pot if you are considering them for catering your next event, or just want an amazing meal!

Excellent gluten free scone full of flavor; the service was very kind and quick and the atmosphere is very welcoming and engaging. A bit of a tight fit physically is some corners is the only potential issue. I’d definitely go again to work, read or just chat.

Amanda Dwelley

We came without reservations on a busy Friday night. The host said the wait would be 1.5 hrs over the phone but he allowed us to wait by the bar and two bar seats opened up within 20 minutes. The host and bartenders were all friendly and attentive despite a very busy night. Bustling vibe, great menu, attractive dishes (and I like the pasta bowls). Delicious salad and pastas and eyeing other people's food everything looked delicious. I substituted their house-made gluten free pasta which was very tasty and would recommend if you are looking for gluten free pasta!

Leslie Hope Butenschoen

Great food! Even with technical difficulties leading to no corn tortillas or eggs, everything else is still fantastic! I had the taco bowl with chicken, bacon, rice, beans and sour cream. Yum!! In fact, only thing that has gluten are the flour tortillas.

Kelsea Hubel

the best gluten free pizza i’ve tried! yes it’s smaller but totally worth it. it was so good I forgot to take a photo before eating 😆

Stephanie Simms

Excellent gluten free chicken strips! Fast and friendly service. Thank you!

Kristin Jaquette

I love this place. So much flavor with each item. I have traveled into Ethiopia before and this food is most Authentic. You have to ask for the Gluten Free Bread for the "real injera",. Best place ever.

Barbara Iachini

Despite this being a kitchen that primarily processes wheat products, they managed to keep me from getting cross-contaminated with gluten. The food is good on top of it, not just good for gluten-free. It reminded me of when I was a kid and didn't have to worry about food. 🙂

Grant Tolley

Favorite restaurant in Falls Church! Best atmosphere—feels like a vacation with Key West vibe and frequent entertainment. Great for kids. Tons of great vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options.

DS Hull

Excellent gluten-free and vegan options for dinner, and our lamb was perfectly cooked. If you are open-minded to spices you will enjoy the various flavors found throughout your meal. We loved our pick three vegan dish. Their pumpkin was more like a dessert, the eggplant was outstanding, and our generous portion of spinach was perfectly flavored.

Pujya Smart

I have some dietary restrictions and the servers were happy to help accommodate to my needs, they even have a gluten free menu which I found very helpful. Everyone was super nice and I really enjoyed the ambiance. Great option for vegan and vegetarians and I recommend it to everyone!

Almas Jabeen

Im glad that each place I have visited, they have atleast one employee very knowledgable about allergies. I have severe celiac disease and Im glad I have bever hd a reaction eating. The harissa Vinagrette is sooo soo good on the dish. I love their vegetables! From what I can see the grilled meat is thoroughly cooked yet somehow Juicy! I recommend.

Samuel Smiley

Very good food at 9 at night. Excellent service. Extensive menu. Gluten free! stuff. Reasonable prices. Fair bar.

Carla Cox

We love Rasa, the food is delicious and they can accommodate all kinds of dietary restrictions- I am vegan and gluten intolerant. Even better than the food is the service - Claudia is so sweet! We have been going there since I was pregnant and she always remembers us and our son :) We will definitely be back!

David Family: Doctor

They bring the food to the table. With metal forks and knives. I recommend they also get sturdy dine-in bowls. Clean setting. Polite staff. They ask how the food is, as servers do at full service restaurants. Gets quite busy in the evenings. Gluten-free pasta option. Tofu option. Good family spot. Booths and one large circular table. Outdoor seating in contemporary shopping plaza.

Besides oatmeal, and an overpriced avocado toast you can order with no egg/no protein, there’s nothing for vegans/plant-based eaters here. To the owners: I wish you put in a little effort to be more inclusive, especially in a place situated in the greater DC metro area. You can offer the option of serving the avocado toast with black beans on top. It’s so cheap and low-effort to use a batch of canned black beans with lemon, olive oil, and light seasoning and adding it on toast. You can easily offer egg and dairy-free pancakes (there are so many recipes online now, some even made with oat flour, which would also make it gluten-free as well). A vegan BLT made with tempeh-bacon or tofu-bacon is probably too much to ask for, but would also be great, some day in the future when more cafe-owners catch up with the endless amounts of easy and low-cost (and protein-filled) plant-based recipes there are out there. I hope you will think of your potential plant-based clients and provide options for them in the future.

It is BEAUTIFUL inside and the food is all delicious!! Many gluten free options and they’re very knowledgeable about the options. You can’t do the set family style menu gluten free (only one gf entree on that menu) but you can get many of the small plates and a few of the entrees. The cocktails are also so delicious and fun!

Guille Nicholson

Love the place, the food is delicious and there are gluten free and vegan choices. Nice to seat out.

Susan Berger

Peking Gourmet is expensive but always worth it, especially for a special occasion. Amazing food and great service, but can get a bit noisy. Most recently we had a large party of 15 for a pre Thanksgiving dinner, all at a big round table behind a private screen. The "lazy susan" on the table made it fun as we were mostly sharing dishes. Most importantly, my 2 cousins with celiac disease were able to get wonderful dishes that were carefully prepared to avoid cross contamination; a rare treat for them even though they live in NYC! (Hint: they called ahead to make sure of arrangements and what to order.)

Vaht

The good was delicious and the waitress was extremely friendly. When I told her I have a gluten allergy she was very knowledgeable and explained what all on the menu could be made gluten free. Definitely check this place out. If you decide to get a spice level btw medium is pretty dang hot!

Wendy Caputo

This was my first time back since the pandemic, and it was just as delicious as I remembered. Our waiter was phenomenal - honestly, he should teach classes. He was personable, attention to detail, charming, thorough, and super knowledgeable about each plate on the menu. He was super attentive to my gluten-free needs and was able to adjust the menu without much effort. The menu was creative and thoughtful. I had the tuna tartare appetizer & my husband had the Caesar salad - both were delicious. I had the lamb duo - the loin was perfectly cooked. My husband had the halibut - overall a good presentation and solid flavor. Our other guest had the lobster dish which was creative and flavorful. The bartender presented our drinks and was also exceptional with his knowledge and personality. Definitely continues to be one of the best restaurants in the area - highly recommend.

Very rude owner, but the gluten free pizza is wonderful.

Waleed Khalid

The larb is a toss of juicy chicken, toasted rice powder, the fermented fish sauce that gives Padaek its name and chef Seng Luangrath’s favorite herb, lemongrass. Galangal — reminiscent of fresh ginger when young and more peppery as it ages — lends its spark to the salad as well. This is food that puts your taste buds at full attention. (“Alive!” I texted a note to myself the first time I ate it.) Pretty much anyone can sample the pleasure, since the salad, like a swath of dishes here, is also offered gluten-free and/or vegan.

Laura Ferguson

Very fresh and authentic sushi! They had gluten free soy sauce and were very respectful of one person's shrimp allergy. We have been coming here for years and we can always count on a great meal. We liked the new menu too.

andrew haymans

Great place. Very accommodating gluten free options!

Elyssa

My favorite gluten friendly Thai spot. Their massaman curry is delicious, I get it at least once a month, and they're always very attentive to gluten allergies.

August 2023, back at GD. GREAT experience again today. Our server Selma was great. My salmon was perfect and my son loved their breaded cauliflower❤️ my white sangria was fantastic - and finally in a wine glass. ❤️ July 2023 - Loved my experience at GD on Columbia Pike. My salmon was delicious. My sister has major allergies, and they offered an array of gluten Free options. While there was a slight error in her meal, our waitress (Sydney - who was fantastic btw) fixed it right away, and the manager even came out to make sure we were okay! White sangria was delicious - although I would prefer to have wine in an actual wine glass. Loved my experience. Will be back again.🙂

Kate Gillooly

A personal favorite :) Very good about accommodating gluten free items as well.

Nature’s Art

I have coeliac disease so everything has to be gluten free. They changed their gloves. Wiped down counters and all. I was so happy and I didn’t get sick not one bit!!!! Yummy and fresh food and it’s just ALWAYS GOOD

Melly

Best chicken salad I’ve ever had! Far of a drive for us, but so worth it. Very nice potion size. Can’t wait to try more flavors. Hopefully they will have gluten free bread options in the future.

Andy Anderson

This location of Papa Johns is fantastic. The guys are always smiling and cheerful and their gluten free pizza’s are consistently delicious. Keep up the good work, friends.

Bryce Heyn

Quality gluten free subs for my sister's graduation party

Evie M

I love this place for so many reasons. The foremost is, obviously, the high quality food they serve. Locally sourced ingredients, organic selections, options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and kosher diets, and it's still a freaking diner. It's a testament to just how amazing a restaurant can be if it tries. It's obvious that they try.

Elke Martin

I like Pho Cyclo a lot; a simple and friendly place where I can get vegetarian and vegan pho soup or other dishes. My friend can get gluten-free dishes - and they are all very tasty and moderately priced.

Mostafa ElNahass

I tried the Gluten free Cauliflower crust pizza with Cheesesteak and it had a texture and tasted more like regular pizza. I also like that they get your order outside when picking up rather than get it inside which minimizes Covid risk.

Andy Anderson

Amazing. The chips and salsa are delicious - chips come out warm and fresh. We came to try the virgin piña colada. Lots of gluten free options too. Servers are friendly and quick; our waiter Martin was great.

Brad Barkett

Outstanding summer rolls, also Celiac/Gluten friendly restaurant

Nicholas Whetstone

Kelly Suttell

What a lovely spot with delicious food and desserts! This cafe (restaurant) is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, and the staff is very welcoming. We shared a winter meal here with friends and ordered the branzino, houloumi with honey and pistachios, and pistachio baklava and baked rice pudding for dessert -- all except the baklava were gluten free and all were delicious! We will be back next time in town. Thank you for the lovely meal in a lovely environment! 🙏

Wesley Daunis

In all, this place was good and it's a great option if your shopping in Tysons but don't want to eat in one of the mall restuarants. The flavors were all there, the menu has a great mix of items and the gluten free options were great. While.one of out 3 dishes came out barely warm the rest were fine. Thebservice was adequate. We typically like to ask the server what some favorites are on the menu to get their perspective, but this time our server jist listed everything, so wither they were new or just didn't have handle on what we were asking. Overall we'll go back though when we are in the mood for some BBQ.

Michael Dunson

Great food, quick service. Gluten-free options available.

Julie

A friend took me to Rice Paper tonight for dinner. I always have a hard time eating out because I'm celiac. The menu was clearly labeled which items where gluten free and the waitress was very helpful. I got the chicken Pho and it was amazing. It was not marked as one of the GF options but I asked and the waitress said it was because of the hoisin sauce that comes on the side. I skipped that sauce and got the Pho and it was the best I've ever had. If you see something you want to try and it's not marked GF, ask because they might be able to do it. My friend got the Bún/vermicelli rice noodle soup with prawns, fish, pork, and squid. It would highly recommend this restaurant if you have gluten issues.
