Top 26 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Boise Bench, Boise

This was our first time trying food from Idaho as we’re traveling through. Being able to have traditional Idaho specialties as vegans exceeded our expectations. The scratch-made vegan and gluten-free options were incredible. The service was so friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was perfect for both vegans and non-vegans.

My first time here and I was pleasantly surprised. If you're gluten intolerant, try the GF bun. OMG, it was sooooo yummy! Great prices too.

They have one of the best gluten free cheeseburgers (including the gluten free bun) I have ever had!

We love coming to Blue Bench- love the option of getting on the wait-list prior to coming down. They also have delicious gluten friendly waffles & pancakes! Our server this morning was Layla and she was wonderful-great service- they always seem staffed well.

I rarely sit down and take the time to write a review, but I just had to stop and tell everyone about Red Bench Pizza. I’ve been a “Benchie” now for over 20 years, and I haven’t found a better pizza place! If you’re ready to upgrade your palate but still not break the bank, look no further! There is something for everyone here, whether it be pasta, salad, pizza, or dessert (you’ve GOTTA try the cannolis and the ricotta donut bites!) Red bench has unique options that can’t be found anywhere else. They have a great kids menu, to DIE for appetizers (can't go wrong with the Italian nachos!), and they even have gluten-free and cauliflower crust for those that have flour sensitivities. The cheeky menu sports one-of-a-kind pizzas with names like “ En Fuego”, a (spicy chicken favorite that you won’t want to miss), “No Meat, No Cry”, (not your typical veggie pie), and “Magic Kingdom”, (my personal fave) with exclusive toppings like parmesan roasted mushrooms, truffle oil, and garlic oil sauce. I like to pair their specialty pizzas with a nice glass of their Marciano Red house wine. The authentic Italian-style food is consistently good, and you can tell they use fresh ingredients. The open dining area allows you to see the employees prepare your food, and the lively atmosphere is perfect for a lunch date, date night, or a family outing. The customer service is above par for most Boise restaurants. This local gem is a must-stop for locals and tourists alike. A unique twist is the large mural of chef Jose Andres on the Kootenai side of the building, and the “Big Red Bench” out front for photo ops! Close to downtown, Boise State University, the airport, and sitting at the heart of Boise’s iconic Bench neighborhood, Red Bench Pizza is a win-win for all you hungry Boise Benchers!

I came to Luciano’s for my mom’s birthday dinner. We were there about 1 hour before they close which I was worried about but they treated us so good! First? Arturo was our waiter and he was quick, kind, so personable and super happy. He didn’t skip a beat. I might even put him on top 5 best servers I have ever had. The food was 10/10. The cannolis are absolutely insane and they are gluten free!! My fav Italian restaurant in Idaho.

Traveling through Boise. Tired of just salads because of my celiac. Stopped here at Outback Steakhouse. They have a gluten free menu to chose from. I ordered the steak, baked potato with side salad. Even the dressings were gluten free! Christina, who served us, was fantastic!

Willowcreek Grill always has amazing meals, I love that they have a sushi AND a grilled menu. I am gluten free, and they have lots of options for me to choose from, even including alcoholic beverages (a couple cider choices are available). The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.

I am thrilled to discover this local neighborhood family run Chinese restaurant. I stayed with a work group at a hotel near the airport. Rather than Door Dash or settle for Anywhere America cuisine like Applebee's nearby, I set out on foot to see what was open late on a weeknight. Panda Garden stays open til 10:30 weeknights so arriving at 8:50 I had plenty of time for a relaxing supper. I was immediately impressed by the attentiveness of the entire family, who checked on me throughout my meal to be sure all was well. I am gluten intolerant (not Celiac) & with a quick question the gentleman chef was happy to make the roast duck & pine nuts without breading. My meal came promptly and the duck was perfectly tender & scrumptious. The main server brought me my bill at the perfect time, not a moment too soon but didn't leave me waiting. A local couple sitting beside me assured me they have become regulars thanks to the uncommonly doting service & delicious, affordable family made cuisine.

As East Asian native, I usually don't have high expectations for Japanese restaurants in the US, but this one surpassed all my expectations . The tempura batter was done correctly - light, fluffy and crunchy, and I could tell that they took care not to activate the gluten in the batter. The oyako-don was perfectly balanced - the sauce was not overpowering and they had the correct proportions of chicken, egg and vegetables. The sashimi was cut properly and the donkatsu sauce was also excellent. Very impressed. Thank you for making my Christmas evening (and my first evening ever in Boise) exceptional.
