Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in Midtown South, New York

Kerry Leccese

Everything can be made gluten free and there is a special prep area + designation for gluten free items. Literal paradise.

Marisa L

Excellent food, cocktails and service!

Laurie Jambor

My celiac daughter and I always eat here at least once each visit to the city. Never had any issues issue with symptoms and she is fairly sensitive to gluten. She always gets chicken fingers and fries while I’ve enjoyed several different sandwiches/burgers. Highly recommend as a quick stop restaurant

Lynn Sweet

They follow careful no contamination procedures and are very accommodating

Claudia Milton

Good food but a bit oily. Great gluten free options.

Taylor

Melanie was our server and was awesome. She was very attentive and very accommodating for my mom who has celiac disease. My mom always gets nervous ordering at places but Melanie made it a point to make sure she was as comfortable as possible and had nothing to worry about. Definitely recommend if you’re gluten intolerant or celiac!

Pauline de Rooij

Great gluten-free and vegan food and lovely service! Timmy made sure we had a great time!!

Joel Balzun

They have gluten free bread which can’t be toasted due to cross-contamination. Frustrating as someone with celiac disease, but fine. But beyond that, my sandwich came out with pieces of egg shell on it… the server saw it, and was like “oh it’s just egg shell it’s fine” and went on his way. Yikes. Would not recommend.

Anna D

The main meal was great, and it was terrific that all the sauces are GF. Kiddo was very disappointed however that they use gluten marshmallows for dessert. I thought those went the way of the dinosaur!

Claudia Adriana

Very friendly service but the great thing is the gluten free pizza!!! I was worried about cross contamination, however they were careful and everything went well. The flavor and texture of the pizza was wonderful!!! The best gluten free I have ever eaten.

Dawn Williams

We loved our morning breakfast here, including an almond milk latte, espresso, coffee and orange juice. They even have gluten free bread which was the most unusual I've ever seen but quite tasty. I'm pretty sure it was the healthiest meal we had during our short stay in NYC.

Lyz Cao

Mariana (not sure if I'm spelling her name right) was a gem! She helped us with our food allergies (celiac). She got us our food in a timely manner so we wouldn't miss our bus! Even though it was their busy rush brunch hour, She took the time to take care of us at the bar. Girl was always making drinks, get another bartender back here to help her!

Leilani Rivera

We read all of the reviews and viewed the menu online, we were so excited about the gluten free pancakes but nothing was available. If you are specifically looking for gluten free items I would skip here and go to the restaurant around the corner.

Zuri Durkins

They offer gluten free options which is excellent!

Kerry Leccese

They offer grilled chicken tenders and chicken sandwiches! Just make sure to ask for a GF bun. It comes prepackaged to avoid cross contamination. The french fries are also made in a dedicated fryer, so they’re safe as well!

Kaiti C

Placed an order online for a future time and it was immediately ready when I got there. I ordered the gluten-free breakfast sandwich w truffle mayo and it was delicious. Also got a smoothie.

Kristen Gilmore

Terry Szuplat

Very friendly and helpful with my gluten allergy. Thank you!

Anna Buckett

Really good gluten free pizza - one of the best I've had.

Jose Vidal Cueto

On the best vegan option I had in NYC. And also it could be Gluten Free

Lee Ashley

Great smoothies and coffee, dairy and gluten free food options too.

Manuel B.

Corn gluten and dairy free tortillas/arepas filled with many options

Ximo Villalba Pascual

Gluten-free Mexican food

Natalie Wright

Came in for a quick bite before a show. This was perfect for our family who each have very different food preferences and dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy free). The kids loved choosing their ingredients and creating their own unique meal. We will definitely be back!

Cory Anderson

Wow delicious vegan food! So many good protein options for gluten-free (GF) and non gf folks including seitan, tofu, falafel, and more! A little over priced. Recommend getting food to go and going to Bryant park!

Debbie Gelb

Absolutely delicious pizza -- some of the best I've ever tried. Bravo has a no-frills atmosphere, fast service, and limited seating in the back. The pizza is kosher with gluten free options available. I would recommend the spinach mushroom slice.

Shelby Carr

Exquisite experience! My fiancé and I chose this restaurant to celebrate his birthday and the experience was truly fabulous from start to finish! Everyone was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. I have a gluten free allergy and Chef Mike diligently prepared each course for me, informing me about any differences in my gluten free dish. To top the evening off, the staff kindly presented a birthday dessert to my fiancé. Wonderful atmosphere, kind people, delicious food - just wonderful!!

Kyle Sechler

Dropped into L'Amico around 9:30pm on a Thursday night and it was fairly busy and we still were able to be seated and offered drinks quickly. Our food order was also taken quickly. We got the burrata to start and two gluten free pizzas. The burrata was heavenly especially with the warm squash as we were there Nov. 9th, so it was a great autumn touch. The GF pizzas were the best my wife and I have had. I've had a lot of pizza in my day and even been to New Haven, CT (pizza mecca of the world). If you gave me this pizza and told me it was a regular gluten flour pizza I would not have noticed a difference. I'm not saying it was as good as New Haven, but it was VERY good by GF standards. Crust actually had a crisp that GF pizzas never seem to be able to develop. I took a look at the oven when we left and that is definitely a large contributor to its success, but hats off to the chef for the GF flour mixture as well. Price was midtown Manhattan prices, but not over the top and I've paid more for worse GF pizza, so it's well worth it. We were very tired from a long day of work, but I'd love to go back and try a regular pizza (my wife is GF, but I am not) as I'm sure its amazing. Overall very nice place that I'd highly recommend, especially for the gluten free pies!

Carlos Gutierrez

Very original in its preparation. Those who attended us were very attentive and friendly. Seeing that we had difficulty with English, they spoke to us in Spanish. Friendly, pleasant and especially careful with the issue that my son is celiac. a 10

Gavin Sokolof

For $21 I am very disappointed. The semolina bread was incredibly chewy, not fresh. They put one measly slice of prosciutto and the smallest bit of burrata, for $21 should be a crime. Anyone who thinks this is a top spot in nyc for an Italian deli sandwich is dearly mistaken. Save yourself the disappointment and order elsewhere. Positives: they have gluten-free bread and the sandwich ingredient combinations are good. That said, it’s not even close to being worth the price.

Christian Rathbone

We love this place. The atmosphere is lively and fun, the servers are friendly and the food is always great. We end up getting more tacos than agreed every time! I'm gluten free and have several options. Equites and fish tacos are our favorite. Try them out!

Laura Ryan-Isaacson

Excellent! Such fresh and healthy options for picky people. We had hummus and Mohammed sliced up cucumbers for us because we are gluten-free. When the main course (beef kubideh) came out, it not only was awesome/ fresh/ huge, but there was a huge assortment of grilled fresh vegetables— such a wonderful restaurant. The price was so minimal for the quality and amount of food we received. Thank you Mohammed and staff. We’ll return when we are in NYC next!

Nice lunch, pretty good burger. Gluten Free bun was good; didn't get sick so they did a good job. Conveniently near Penn Station.

Paola Toledo

Excellent gluten free pizza

Jasmine Nears

One of the best steak places in NYC. Hands down. You come in, you leave happy. It has a classic NYC feel you can't beat. Been going here for 5 years now, faithfully. Always a favorite, especially on date night. Hubby is gluten free. You can't go wrong with a Porterhouse to share between two very hungry or three moderately hungry people. Side of German Potatoes. Sauteed Broccoli to be healthy. Drink a Manhattan while you are at it.

Lindsey Lowe

Ordered the ham and cheese baguette with the gluten free alternative. Wasn’t expecting a baguette but the sandwich was horrible and sloppily put together, especially for $17. Really disappointed.

Lidón Muñoz

A place to eat well and cheaply. They have a gluten-free option. You can eat there or take it away

David Place

Li

Very nice staff, great food, helped me to the disability restroom, the tvs are very loud, ice tea is fresh, and they have gluten free buns!

Muriel Smith

Great pizza! Gluten free options

Kay Ricciuti

Such a great find! We stopped in for brunch and were not disappointed. Seated immediately - the staff are great and the food was amazing. They do offer gluten-free options.

Jessica Davidoff

I've already been here twice and they've only been open a week and I foresee Heritage becoming a new go-to for my family. The bread might be the best bread I've ever tasted and the fact that they make everything with ancient grains is INCREDIBLE - especially for anyone with gluten sensitivities or corn allergies - like my 4 yo son. This is the first restaurant where he could literally eat ALL the breads and pizzas and he loved all of them so much. His other favorite is the roast chicken - the only problem is now he's asking me to make "chicken like they make it at Heritage" which might be a problem hahaha because it is impeccable and I'm not a trained chef. Literally everything about the restaurant is perfection - the decor transports you to the Greek Isles or Bodrum in Turkey, the music and lighting are so relaxing, everything on the menu is exquisite, and the rosé is heavenly! We will be back again and again and again and we can't wait.

Elizabeth E H

Clean, Fresh and sit down restaurant quality. Don’t overlook vegetarian options, they are substantial in the sides and veggie burger. Great mix of traditional Greek in a ‘to-go’ setting with very warm kind service. Just need a gluten-free bun for the burgers or wraps!

Kiariladyboss

One of the best vegan/plant based burgers in town. Less than $10 for a cheeseburger, i added the gluten free potato bun (delicious) and spent $12. This location is in front of Bryant Park so you could even grab your food to go and enjoy it at the park in a beautiful day. They even have digital cashiers where you can place your order

Geraldine Fermin

Outstanding Venezuelan food, the empanadas are absolutely delicious and gluten free

The Polka Dot Paper Shop

This was incredible. The food was fantastic! And if you’re gluten free, they follow all the protocols. Separate pan, and you even get an individually wrapped pizza cutter! Plus I couldn’t believe the price - I’ve never gotten a gluten free pizza this good, let alone for this low cost!

Lior Seidel

Section 112 has a designated GF food stand - burger, hot dogs (both with GF bun), pizza, snacks & beer
