Top 49 Gluten-Free Spots for a Delectable Lunch in the French Quarter, New Orleans

Colorful Roses

Either these reviews are for the non gluten free foods or I just went on an off day. I got the okra gumbo and red beans and rice, I felt like when I said gluten free they went ok no seasoning for this one. It was so bland I couldnt eat it. I was very disappointed as I was looking foward to good; safe for me to eat, food.

This place is amazing for celiac or gluten allergy. They have gluten-free vegan batter that is cooked in a separate area. I had the Pizza crepe ans the honey bunny both amazingly delicious. The owner was very nice and helpful. Definitely coming back!

great place to go if you are celiac! Tons of options and you get delicious spoon bread while you wait for your food.

My 7 year old daughter is a celiac. It’s not so easy to find glutenfree food for a celiac kid. Bit we were happy to find this place: my daughter took the glutenfree fried chicken with glutenfree waffles. She really liked the waffles also the chicken but it was a little bit to spicy for her. I took a glutenfree seafood Po boy and really enjoyed it. Even though I‘m not celiac the Po boy was delicious

Jess and Eric were absolutely fantastic! Their service was top-notch from start to finish. My wife has Celiac disease, and they were both incredibly knowledgeable and attentive when helping her find safe and delicious options. We truly appreciated their care and attention to detail. Thank you for making our experience so enjoyable!

If you're gluten free and missing muffalettas, the muffaletta pizza on gf crust is worthy.

One of the few restaurants I've ever been to where I had a drink waiter separate from the waitress, but was also chill with me wearing shorts and a graphic tee. They ask about and seem very attentive to dietary restrictions, so if vegetarian or gluten free or your thing they will work with you. I appreciated the hanging art separating the tables around the periphery of the restaurant as well as the general vibe. I ended up ordering a couple of cocktails and the Ramos Gin Fizz was like drinking a slice of lemon meringue pie; 10/10 if you're into meringue. That was followed up with a honeysuckle liqueur drink melding blackberries and basil (honey child) that was good, but didn't come close to touching the Gin fizz. I ordered the fixed price 3-course meal with turtle soup and sherry followed by the best shrimp and grits I've ever had in my life and capped off with the best bread pudding I've ever had as well. Thanks to the waitress for pushing me toward the bread pudding: The toasted pecans and caramel really sent it over the edge and made it an especially sumptuous dish. Another gin fizz in a to go cup (because French quarter, why not?) and I was off to the next stop!

Upon returning from the swamp to where we were all hungry, so we had the bus drop us off on canal street. We dined at Olde Nola Cookery a family-owned gem nestled right on Bourbon Street in the heart of the French Quarter. Its motto—“Cooked by Locals, Spiced with History”—captures the spirit of the place perfectly, they also accommodate gluten-free which is an added bonus! The menu is a celebration of classic New Orleans fare: think Cajun and Creole staples and their much-loved gator bites. Seafood is a standout there, we had dishes like blackened alligator salad, gluten free crab cakes, tender half rack pork ribs and shrimp po’boys. They also offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, which is a thoughtful touch for a city not always known for dietary flexibility. The atmosphere is quintessentially French Quarter—colorful, a little rowdy, and full of character. With three dining rooms and a balcony overlooking Bourbon Street, it’s a great spot for people-watching or soaking in the sounds of the city while enjoying a meal If you’re ever in the mood for a meal that feels like a love letter to New Orleans—bold, soulful, and just a little indulgent—Olde Nola Cookery might be your spot.

We went here specifically for gluten free food. The owner was there and super friendly. We ordered gluten free fried green tomatoes, shrimp, crayfish, catfish, pickles, and fries. The coating/breading was light and airy. We were the only ones in the restaurant. It was a little awkward, quiet, and dark.

This is a hole in the wall kinda place with excellent food and drinks but the wait the wait was lackluster! They have gluten free options!

Kim Slone

Amazing and delicious!! Had plenty of vegan and gluten free options.

Erin Carriel

We wanted Fabulous local food and Sylvain’s did not disappoint! We had the Pappardelle Bolognese and Striped Bass which were both delicious, we also had the Fried Cauliflower which was a wonderful surprise!! Our server Chris was knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. They were able to accommodate my gluten free restrictions, including dessert…a coconut crème brûlée! The ambiance was intimate and beautiful, we loved everything about this restaurant and highly recommend it!

The gluten free menu was great and had plenty of options. I had seen there used to be gluten free gumbo however there isn’t anymore. I had jumbalaya instead which was okay, but slightly bland. It’s also quite noisy inside and the AC was on high so it was cold. I think the outside patio looked lovely and would recommend sitting out there. Otherwise service was fine and lots of good food options.

Went on a Saturday so it was crowded but they found two seats together for us. The Southern BLT was delicious, especially the fried greens tomatoes. Wish the gluten-free items were posted more clearly on the printed menu.

What a beautiful, delicious, cozy experience. The shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and they have gluten free options noted on the menu! The staff was kind and welcoming and gave us space but served us well. We we will definitely be back!

10/10 !!! Amazing options for vegans and gluten free. The flavors are beautiful

A hidden gem on Royal Street. The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond to make my birthday celebration special. The food was sublime. They were so accommodating with my gluten allergy and presented me with a cotton candy birthday dessert. If you’re in New Orleans you must dine here, it’s a truly magnificent experience.

I placed a take-out order for gluten-free pad thai. When I arrived, the system wasn't working properly and they had not received my order. The host took my order and apologized. It was ready in about 5 minutes, which was incredibly quick. The flavors were robust and very authentic. Thanks for the great food, service, and gluten-free options!

Helen Crotty

Great deal for the Quarter. Gluten free safe!

It's our first visit to New Orleans and we chose this place for dinner and we had an excellent experience. The food was incredible, super tasty and fresh. And the great thing is that they have several gluten free options. The dessert was 💯 cheesecake and cream brulee

Craig Paretti

Perfect just perfect. Really appreciate the gluten free options

We stopped here for breakfast. Then, we chose to try their Beigntes. They came 4 on the plate. And although there is a more famous place on New Orleans that makes them we tried both. Both my wife and I feel this place makes the best Beigntes so far. Properly made dough and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend them. Now digging into my Boudin omelet and her bourbon street breakfast. The Boudin omelet is great. It is light and fluffy. The hashbrowns are freshly grated and not over processed. My wife's pancakes are crazy good. I try to stay away from gluten, but I would eat these cakes and deal with the side effects without complaining. Hell yes, I drank the Boubon at 9:15am. No, I do not have a drinking problem. Bourbon while having some spice was smooth. If you are on New Orleans, put Cafe Fleur De Lis on your list to have for breakfast. Love it and will be back next time we are in New Orleans. It's really good.

So the place is cute and the staff are incredibly kind and friendly, but unfortunately, I had a really bad experience. I am gluten free, got their little gluten free menu, told the waiter I'm gluten free, ordered the grilled oysters, and it came with bread. I asked the waiter if the bread was gluten free and he said yes. I ate the bread, it was delicious, and then the waiter came back and recommended I eat the oysters with the crackers(I'm new to oysters and I asked how to eat them), but the crackers are clearly made with wheat. So I asked again, is the bread gluten free? He said yes. I said, are you sure? Because I already ate some. He scurried to the back and asked the chef and sure enough, it's normal bread. He was panicked, I told him I won't die, and then told me to get to a CVS asap. He still made me pay for my drink after I said I wouldn't pay for the food. I didn't argue because I just needed to get out asap and I'm non-confrontational. Celiac disease isn't like lactose intolerance. I get sick, for days sometimes. This experience sucked so bad and I'm so upset because I'm only in nola for 2 more days and I'm going to be feeling weak and nauseous the rest of my time here. Again, the staff was so friendly! But he needs to know more about common allergies.

This is by far my favorite place in NOLA. The Redfish was perfect and the shrimp and grits did not disappoint. They made a wonderful Bloody Maria and our server Carlo made the experience perfect. He was very knowledgeable about what meals they could modify to be gluten free and they had a gluten free menu. I can’t wait to go back!

Lovely atmosphere and multiple gf options- all of them delicious. I recommend talking to manager or bringing a GF dinning card as an extra level of protection. But over all the experience was beautiful
