Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Enjoy in Southeast Portland

CJ

Food is pretty good, in particular their soup, okra, and chicken. Dessert was over cooked. Drinks are great. Service is whatever, the person that served us had weird energy and no warmth. She almost seemed bothered to be working there. It's always max capacity and ridiculously loud, think loud dance club. I appreciate there being a dedicated gluten free finer dining place in the pdx area.

Delicious brunch options!

Elodi Attwilde

Maruti has excellent organic vegetarian and vegan food. They also have lots of options for a gluten free free or dairy free diet on the menu. I have been going here since before the pandemic, and their food is consistently amazing.

Niko Zuellos

Great gluten free option for Detroit style pizza

Jeanne Weyers

Wonderful establishment!! Great service and the food is delicious! The gluten free crust is the best … taste is the same as a gluten crust. Thank you for making it taste “normal”! 😀🍕😀

As someone with celiac I really appreciate a dedicated gluten free kitchen. However, the options here are underwhelming. Got the pulled pork fries, which are just fries, pulled pork, and a sauce. Would be much better if there were more ingredients for a little more flavor, and honestly I would hope for a little more for $15

Rachel Holland

these people know what they are doing! everything is well marked and dedicated GF fryer. kind and thoughtful staff. we make a special trip to Portland, just to get the fried chicken here.

It is one guy, running the front of house and making all the food. Everything is FROM SCRATCH. He makes the bread. He makes the three different kinds of syrup. There's a ton of gluten free stuff but also regular versions of everything too. This place is special. Make sure you go there at least once to meet the guy and eat his amazing food.

We love Dick's! 😂😅 For real, though. The food is good and quality ingredients. They are super accommodating to dietary needs. Great for keto, paleo, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and everything in between. The staff is always super nice. It's a little loud in the space, but not many places that aren't these days. They have a great space for gathering groups. Their water stations are plumbed instead of just jugs, which can get gross if not cleaned often. Just genuinely one of our favorite places to go since we have various dietary issues that our family has to accommodate.

Horace Ward

This is another one of those places where I forgot to take a pick of the food because it was SO good and couldn't help but eat it all. We got to meet the man himself, Daniel and his pup who both were extremely friendly. The OG chicken was 12/10 and with the secret sauce, it went it up to a 15/10. The fact that it's so flavorful and juicy and is gluten free makes it a great spot for my wife and I to enjoy a meal together that fits her allergic restrictions. So

The service is great, everyone is friendly and knowledgeable! Their food could be really great if it wasn't hit or miss. The pork egg rolls with fresh cilantro are *delicious*, but they are consistently overcooked, despite asking them pull them out of the frier sooner. All in all, it's a solid place with good gluten-free food and friendly service. However, it does seem to be a bit overpriced at times.

Not my 1st time BUT stayed till l8 2 play TRIVIA w my friend and her hubby! My friend LOVED LOVED LOVED the gluten free choices and the Gluten Free Beer!

Sky T

This is my favorite Lebanese restaurant in Portland! They even have gluten free pita bread, and their food is just so delicious. I always order the salmon kabobs, and the fallafal, cause it's so good! Highly recommend if you're looking for a Greek style restaurant with gluten free options.

I will ALWAYS recommend this place to anyone looking for a breakfast/brunch spot in Portland. The menu? Amazing. The service? So friendly. The food? Outstanding, the jam? Well, there’s a reason why it’s called JAM on Hawthorne. A friend in my party needed a gluten-free accommodation and not only was she presented with such giant GF pancakes that she couldn’t even finish, but she was also given extra toppings to-go for her leftovers which was so sweet! Street parking is a bit scarce, but the surrounding neighborhood parking is free. Just remember to pin your location or else you might forget where you parked like I did!

Nudi is one of our favorite restaurants. We just went on 2/7 and had a great time. The food is always amazing, and the service has been friendly. It's a more relaxed atmosphere so they don't run on a tight schedule like other restaurants, so expect to just go with the flow. We've been probably 10 or more times in the last year and have never been disappointed. Tu (I think that's the correct spelling) is an absolute delight and will upsell the specials and cocktails with silly teasing (which we've found fun - not disrespectful) but whenever we've accepted, we've been happy we did (lobster pad thai means a whole lobster next to your noodles and you will have to work for it lol). We eat mostly gluten free and have been with seriously gluten free friends and have never had an issue finding something for everyone. Their staples are always amazing for the less adventurous eaters (the short ribs, jap chae, ramen, pad kee mao, pad see lew, pad thai, holy basil fried rice).

Mike Lee

We've been getting food from this gluten free and vegan food cart for a number of years now. It's always SO GOOD and the lady who runs it is wonderful and so nice. The food is just awesome and for my wife and daughter who are gluten intolerant this place is a 10/10! Even if you are not GF and I am not, the food is so tasty.

Mariel Jones

This is one of my favorite go-to spots in Portland! I love the vibe, the service, the food, everything. I eat here at least once a month and have never been disappointed. It’s one of the places I point my out of town friends to go eat at. They have gluten free options! My go-to order is the pork and rice with a thai iced tea. Today I tried the thai green tea with coconut milk — yummy but not as good as the classic thai tea. Takeout, dine in, it’s all good.

The last time we came to Hawthorne Asylum, we were having some food regrets by not ordering from here. So this was top on our list for our next visit and first place we ran to when we stopped in this morning. This food cart did not disappoint. There are so many waffle sandwiches to choose from. There’s really truly something for everyone. They even have vegan and gluten-free options. Are you looking for something sweet or savory? They have it all. We ordered the Holla and they let you customize. They have cheddar, smoked Gouda, Swiss and one other cheese. I’m not recalling at the moment but the point is they truly let you customize. The waffle is fairly thin, so it actually is something you can easily eat. I was worried the waffle would make it too thick. The flavor was phenomenal. The staff was super friendly and warmly greeted our puppy that was with us as well. We also ordered chai and some lattes and the drinks were also very good. Seating is all outdoors as this is a food cart so come prepared. There are several heated seating areas as well as covered areas with fire pits. This is a decent food truck option location, even for a rainy day, but even more magical on a sunshiny day. Dog friendly as well!! you’re craving waffles and the person you’re going is not… This is the perfect place because you can choose whichever food truck makes your heart happy.

It's bad when you order gluten free and they ignore it. Be weary. Edit: The food was ok but just...

Lysa Allman-Baldwin

I don't even know where to start! I've never had Sri Lankan food, but I'm always up for a new culinary adventure. The reviews sounded great, and the pictures looked good, and all of it made for an amazing foodie experience! The ambiance is very warm and welcoming with an indoor dining room and even better, a spacious outdoor patio with lights everywhere and heat lamps for chilly weather, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the food is outstanding! The combination of flavors, heat levels, spices, and all the love that was obviously poured into it combined to make it a fantastic meal. They have lots of gluten-free options as well. Even the meat eaters would be happy. I highly recommend a visit!

I walk in and ask for a large Gluten free pizza. They said okay, they could do that. I see a person in the back mopping up and it looks like they're closing. So I ask. " Hey, I see someone back there mopping up, is this okay? I have no issue going somewhere else if you guys are trying to get out of here." Person at the register says "it's up to her" (the person mopping) she says it's fine. So I ordered my gluten free pizza to go and what I got was terrible. Under cooked, bitter raw onions. I took one bite and called to say i wanted a refund. Terrible. I gave the option of me not ordering when I saw the person cleaning up. I wouldn't have been upset. I got a "no, it's fine. What do you want"? I'm unhappy. This pizza is raw, doughy and the onions are so bitter it makes me question if the sausage is even cooked. I got wings too. Are they done? I didn't go out and buy dinner just to have to cook it myself. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible service. Never going back

Authentic flavours at a wonderful food cart park. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options

K M

Good food. I am careful of what gluten free burrito I get. I always ask for precautions

S.B. Kraft

Fabulous Dessert and champagne. Wish the dinner menu had a few more options, but what they did serve was good and I was happy to see Gluten free dessert on the menu. Very nice service

Kevin Oyama

Tasty with gluten free options; friendly staff and clean inviting atmosphere. Will return for sure!

Amy Fredrickson

First time ordering the gluten free crust and it is amazing! Very flavorful and crunchy. I had half sausage and mushroom and half honey fig and it was divine. I would definitely order again.

Sirintip Phasuk

Lots of great gluten free and vegan options! Great flavors and vibe

Lana Ferris

The crepes are delicious and have been very safe for me even as someone who is a very sensitive celiac.

Xenomorph6793

I ordered the Maple Pecan Ring and OMG wow it was good; filo dough twisted and baked into a donut like ring, covered in pecan bits and maple sugar 😋 😌 not to mention the service was very good. Great spot for vegan and gluten fee options as well.

Will Feetham

The owner is extremely hospitable and welcoming and the food is delicious. Extensive gluten free options, highly recommended.

Enoc Garcia

Absolutely loved this place! Many gluten free options. The service is great and the food is delicious! I highly recommend the yellow curry and drunken noodles!

Sarah Archuleta

We had truly one of the worst customer service experiences ever at this place. We had the rudest waitress. Our large party called ahead of time to request to go over the normal allowed limit. Our request was approved but the waitress who had us was PISSED at our table size despite us being kind customers. She scoffed at two of us for asking for gluten free options. At the end, our group organizer asked her if we had upset her and she said “ACTUALLY yes, you are breaking our table size rule” and went off about it, then told us she wouldn’t continue taking care of us and we had a switch off of servers. The whole table was appalled. We ordered plenty of dishes with a large check and were friendly. Our two families will never recommend this place because of this waitress

Rachel Armstrong

Can you be a member of the clean plate club and still have some left to take home? Their mango curry is delicious and something I haven’t had before. Thai spot is so friendly and accommodating. They can make lots of things on the menu gluten free and dairy free

Dana

Insanely good. Gluten free udon !!!!

Ian Meisner

Best coffee shop in Sellwood and isn’t even close! Homemade syrups are all so tasty and the service is very friendly. Lots of Gluten Free items available which is nice.

Brendon Schmoll

For Asian fusion, I'd say it's not bad. I definitely had to soak my meat in the broth to give it that pork flavor in the broth. Noodles were a little hard in the ramen. It was nice they had gluten free options.

Brandon Morlock

Food was awesome, but the reason I felt compelled to interrupt my dinner to write this review today was because the server we had today, Jordan, was one of the most informative and professional I’ve ever met. Super friendly and patient with all of my questions. Knows freaking everything about the origin and history of every ingredient on the menu. Took great care of my friends gluten free needs. Superhuman.

Angela Drake (Not Your Average American)

Love, love Cloud City Ice Cream. On my last visit they had a delicious vegan Golden Milk Ice Cream that is worth going out of your way for. Unfortunately, I do not recommend the gluten-free waffle cone. If you can't have gluten, best to get a bowl!

Jason Edwin

This place is literally amazing. Some of the best fried chicken ever and it’s gluten free. I love it! Such a fair price as well, can’t recommend this place enough

Kristen Mann

Have been several times and always yummy. Offer everything gluten free which is awesome. Friendly service too. Last time, it was unbearably spicy (I ordered medium) and both my husband and I got extra sick. The only thing we both ate the same that day was the beef from here and we both got food poisoning. I’m so disappointed because I used to really like this place. I hope they can learn from this.

A Wishy-Washy

I am a picky eater and celiac. They make me my own special roll here and it's delicious!!

Miriam Huddleston

We had a great dining experience and lovely evening at Clarklewis for girls night. Everything was delicious! We really appreciated the gluten free options and that our waiter was able to answer questions so we wouldn't have to worry about cross contamination for the Celiacs in our group.

Kate VanLooven

Love it. I have celiac disease and they do a great job on offering some gluten free items.

Dana Ferrara

We're huge fans of Montelupo in our house. The pizza is delicious. Love the different flavors they offer. I do wish the gluten free had a bit more sauce and cheese, like the simple red. The radicchio salad is delicious. We do miss the market now that it's moved over to Monty's but we can just pop over there, and now try their new restaurant for dinner. :)

Shawn Soszka

Outstandingly good fried chicken! Gluten free! The biggest challenge is that this food cart sells out of this awesome chicken. Get there early!

Miss Fab

Love, love, love this place! My go-to during that time of the month and their gluten free bun is awesome!!

Andrea

Love this place. Fresh, delicious and great if you need gluten free options!

Jeffrey Cohen

I was introduced to The Mont this past month by a good friend, who has now made The Mont his go-to brunch choice, and was totally impressed with the taste and quality of their food! So, I decided to pass along the introduction to another good friend, and we both were smiling with each bite! Here is a pic of The Mont's Mediterranean Scramble with gluten free bread.

Joseph Millenbach

Pretty good taco option. Tried the braised beef and al pastor tacos. The beef was simple but great. Had a small sweetness, and plenty of flavor. Both had good (not too much or little) filling amounts. The al pastor was a bit too salty and sour for me. Overpowered the pineapple until it was gone. Think that was the avocado sauce. I tend to like less salt so that's not an unusual issue for me (like none on my fries). Hoping to try their crispy rice dish next time, but I think I'll have to do a modified gluten free version (his fried chicken is not gluten free).

E Horton

So happy they’re back up and running! Great gluten free waffles and fun ambience. The service was friendly and great too! We’ll be back!
