Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Ventura

Leisa Thompson

Rice by Mama is one of my favorite places. I am (unfortunately) gluten free. Rice by Mama has several incredibly yummy gluten free options!! They make me so happy!

Ian Lang

We had a great experience here. The oyster was super fresh. The food was delicious. Our waiter, Saul, was very warm and professional. Me being celiac always worry about getting "gluten poisoned". Saul made sure the dishes I ordered were gluten free. It was a fantastic experience!

Alex Nitinthorn

The staff was extremely friendly. The owner gave a free appetizer that was gluten/dairy free. Very conscious of dietary restrictions. At the end of the meal, we were surprised with a free dessert. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and I will be coming back.

Lauren Merritt

Most delicious gluten free base I’ve ever had. You can’t tell it’s gluten free. So great and such kind people who own the place. My daughter said, “we need to eat here every night!”

Torey Bell

Excellent quality sushi and service. The staff are super attentive and the food is awesome. Good gluten free menu too.

Mark Smith

Gluten free bread for burgers and sandwiches.

Kendra Branham

Great beer and delicious food! The GF pizza is great for gluten allergies. Highly recommend the Kale & Quinoa salad.

Kevin A

Ohhhh, this location is fabulous!! Forget the food, sit on the patio and enjoy the view of the harbor and boats going by. On the subject of food, I only had a coffee and gluten free cookie, but, from what I could see, the breakfast burrito looked like a big seller. Very fast, efficient and very friendly service. All goods are sourced locally. Dog friendly with patio seating as well as nearby picnic tables.

This place offers the best gluten free options. They have a wide selection and offer GF substitution options such as rice noodles for the ramen. I love the Crepe Cake and Hana Awaka Sake.

Mark Smith

Gluten free options. They make their own sauces, so the server can tell you what you can eat. The braised beef ribs were gluten free and delicious.

Piper Ziv

Been going here for years and it never fails to impress. I love that they have “made-to-order” Gluten free pancakes and waffles with the option at add blueberries. It made my kids day, being that we are all GF.

Michael Lattig

Always great. We’ve been going here for over a year now and have enjoyed it every time. The service is super friendly and the food is great. Everything clearly marked for us gluten free people. And so many great options. Try the lamb tikka masala.

Mark Smith

Gluten free bread and pasta. Delicious Italian Sausage and Onion gluten free pasta and gluten free garlic bread.

Tina Camus

Really good food. I especially like the gluten free pizza. It can be a little loud and drafty though.

Meagan Martin

Amazing!!!!!! I wish we had a chick-fil-a in Visalia! With celiac, there aren’t many places I can eat. Not only does this restaurant provide gluten free options like buns…. They also have a separate area of preparation which is key to a vapid cross contamination and sickness. Our whole family loved their food!!!! (I’m the only gluten free eater) all kids were raving about how they love it and can’t wait to go back and try more! I also felt the same! Please bring one to Visalia Ca! Big city, you’ll Make big business! I did not feel ill after eating here and was pleasantly surprised because I mostly choose not to eat out anymore, and just cook at home. If I had a restaurant like this close to home, I would feel comfortable going here again and again

The staff here we're great! Love all the gluten free options. Everything was clearly labeled on the menu and the staff were knowledgeable. Was told 45-minute wait and got seated in less than 15! I have the Carolina pulled pork with smashed sweet potatoes and broccoli. Delicious!

Katarzyna van der Weijde

We came back to CPK as soon as we were hungry 😍 delicious food and nice atmosphere. Gluten Free Options 😊😋

Celiac friendly

Dr DREAM

When you absolutely need a gluten-free burger, you'll always find a good one here. Bottomless salad was the bonus! Thank you!

Maja Adamski

Delicious food. Gluten free options. Cappuccino was amazing.

Maja Adamski

Gluten free option is greatly appreciated. Pizzas are tasty, service is always good.

Beth Wickstrum

Best sandwiches in Ventura and they have gluten free bread!

Alana Sheeren

We LOVE The Lebanese Oven. I eat vegetarian and gluten-free so I always get the falafel plate with the hummus and Lebanese salad. My husband eats everything and has loved all the dishes he’s had here, but his favorites are the shawarma and the shojuq. He says the pita chips are the best too. It’s so much food - and so much garlic - but it’s absolutely delicious.

Leila Stephens

Best Thai in Ventura, perfect blend of spices. Friendly owner, good atmosphere, lunch specials and Vegan and gluten free options!

Mark Smith

Gluten free bread.

Beautiful views. Group of 5 order at counter when you enter. Get a buzzer and then wait. Not a long wait at 6:30 on a Tuesday. I had to special order no dairy and another was gluten free. They were knowledgeable about the menu ingredients and the food was delivered as ordered. Chicken sandwich for me. Salad with shrimp for another. Fish tacos and fish sandwich and a curry rounded out the table. All empty plates! Oh btw. The sweet potato fries are delicious!!

Leslie Schmidt

I started visiting Valentinos in highschool back in the 90s for their amazing sandwiches. Ocer the years I've gotten many take n bake pizzas which are always super fresh and tasty. Lately tho, we've gotten our own pizza oven at home and we've been getting just the crusts, some toppings, and "making" our own pizzas at home. No matter which way you choose, try Valentinos! I have a gluten intolerance and their crusts NEVER hurt my tummy. Service is always with a smile, and their ingredients are always super fresh!

Mark Smith

Gluten free options listed on the menu.

Alane Wightman

This is the second time we have enjoyed Chilli Basil! It did not disappoint! We all loved our dishes. Such a varied menu! Also a separate gluten free menu and a separate kids menu.

Michelle Grubbs

As someone who has to eat gluten free, I was beyond impressed with the crust! It was soft but chewy and full of flavor. The topping and sauce ratios were also on point.

Mindy Horwitz

Good little hole in the wall thai food. I’m gluten-free and they said I can order anything on the menu. I was there for lunch and had Pad-see-EW lunch special. Came with an egg roll that was also safe to eat. I’ll definitely eat here again.

Therese Walker

My husband is celiac and they accommodated nicely. I had poke salad. Fantastic. Everyone enjoyed dinner

Madeleine Doles

Thank you so much for offering a vegan option around here…there are so few! This is definitely not a healthy spot, but the food is delish and everyone who works here are very sweet. I also like that they are conscious about gluten-free options.

Pam Greenwell

Really lovely place with exceptional food. Small building and lots of folks like this place, so be prepared to wait. Gluten free options too....all dishes were very very tadty. We'll be back

Joshua Pett

Best gluten free restaurant in Ventura !!!

Rebecca Thompson

Fresh and delicious. Good Gluten Free options!

Yolanda Navarro

Wonderful Vegan Burrito that is gluten-free. The favor just pops in your mouth and is so filling. 😍

Brian Adams

We ordered at Blaze Pizza through Uber Eats for the first time. There was a problem with the order that we couldn't resolve through Uber Eats. Blaze Pizza went above and beyond to make us happy, even having an employee drive to our house with the missing item. I plan to give them more business because of their outstanding effort. We ordered a vegetarian, gluten-free pizza and once we got it, it was delicious. Had a thin crunchy crust and perfect sauce, just the way I like it. As mentioned I will eat there again, but in person next time.

Ken Tobias

Good gluten free crust. Good service.

Jose Perera

Lynn Arneill-Brown

Wonderful atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff. Mostly really yummy food. Great menu variety for vegetarians and gluten-free people. I had the Chicken arribiata and my husband had the lasagna. Prices are reasonable. We will return.!

Kirstin Bernau

We are so glad we found this place via Google when we were visiting the area. They offered avocado toast with bread that was both gluten free and vegan (an exciting win for some with gluten, egg and dairy allergies!). It looked and tasted wonderful. The Açaí bowl and oat milk latte we ordered were also tasty and beautiful, and we loved the location too. Tucked away in a little alley, lots of plants growing overhead and providing the prettiest shade. We will definitely go back if we are ever in this area again.

The food was super fresh and delicious. They were able to help me with a gluten free option.

Paula Morris Diaz

My favorite coffee house in Ventura. Owners are great and staff are attentive. I swear the person helping me yesterday read my mind and knew exactly what I wanted. And I haven't seen him before so it's not just my usual drink. They also have some protein food options as well as gluten free snack goodies, both sweet and savory ones. They are a well loved fixture and so at peak times there's a line. Just bring a friend to chat with or allow for some mellow, no pressure down time before you enjoy your coffee.

Paula B

They are able to accommodate gluten-free the diets. Their food was delicious. They are very generous with their meat portions in their tacos.

Tammy Williams

This was the first time I'd ever been to a Stone Fire Grill. I am sort of loathe to give out five stars freely and easily but I really have no reason to give four stars or less. there were two people in my party and we were there between 2 pm and 3 pm on a Saturday so it was slow and the service was not overburdened. It service was more than adequate. The cashier smiled. The wait staff was available, responsive, and did not forget anything. The food was tasty and brought out at the right temperature. We both had cold sandwiches with a hot side. I had the Tri-Tip with chimichurri. It wasn't my favorite chimichurri recipe--it was too vinegary for me--but the sandwich overall had a very good mix of flavors. My mother had a Turkey sub that they made gluten-free for her and she enjoyed it. The roasted corn side was excellent. I recommend this restaurant.

Nancy Tufano

We can't believe how good the food is at this restaurant. It's unbelievably delicious...fresh ingredients, homemade pasta and even the gluten free pasta was so good, same consistency and flavor as wheat pasta. The tomato-based sauces are flavorful and not overpowered by garlic, as some restaurants tend to do, and all you get is heartburn. The cream sauces are going to make you think you died and went to heaven. You can taste the butter and the real cream. Pizza? We always order one to go when we go for dinner because it's that good. If you're in town, this is definitely a must eat place.

Paula B

I had excellent sauteed shrimp and gluten-free pasta! My companion had a hamburger that he was very pleased with. The view was absolutely wonderful. The staff were friendly and well informed! Hope to go back again soon.
