Top 16 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Shadyside, Pittsburgh

Cullene Compton

Three of us went for the first time and were pleasantly surprised. Our waiter was amazing and attentive. We had the Caprese appetizer which was fantastic. One of the 3 pizzas we ordered was gluten-free and we had to double-check with our waiter that it was actually gluten-free, it was that good! Our waiter said their gluten-free options have won awards and we can see why. The other two pizzas were also outstanding.

We had a great breakfast, and the gluten free options were appreciated!

Their food was awesome! The hostess was awesome! Lighting and ambiance is awesome too! It was packed in there on a Thursday evening, but the wait wasn't too long. If you have food allergies, they are very accommodating! Rice noodles if you're avoiding gluten, soy free options if you ask.

Samantha was our server and she was super attentive, knowledgeable about gluten free items on the menu and very friendly and personable :)

Shawn Shimkets

Very nice, clean space. Indoor/outdoor. Friendly staff, great food, wide selection of gluten free items clearly marked on the menu. Best thai restaurant I’ve been to in the burgh.

If you have celiac disease or any food allergies, don’t come here! I visited for lunch and ordered the gluten free shady sticks and the crispy cauliflower tacos with a gluten free tortilla. The waitress didn't inform me that there was a breading on the cauliflower and I probably should have asked but I thought it was fine because the menu didn’t say it was breaded :( We waited for a really long time for our drinks and then once we ordered and received the drinks, she didn’t come back to check on us or refill drinks until after we received our appetizers and food from a different waitress. Our waters were never refilled and both of my friends had their orders messed up. One got the wrong side and the other got bacon in their burger when they asked for no bacon. The waitress didn’t write any of our order down when she took it and she clearly needed to. My friend also got the wrong mule. This was a Tuesday afternoon so there were hardly any people in the restaurant and she only had one other table. I ended up eating a taco before I realized the cauliflower was breaded and when I asked if it was gluten free she said no. I had her just take it back and didn’t order anything else because I knew I was about to get really sick since I have celiac disease. Although I should’ve been more diligent when ordering, it doesn’t excuse the service we received. The servers should be more thorough and clarify when guests are ordering all gluten free menu items.

Excellent food and friendly people! We’ve tried at least 5 different things and all have been delicious. Appetizer fried paneer in a tomato based sauce, veggies with rice, spinach plate, saag, all very good.vegetarian and gluten-free options . Definitely recommend.

Sally Stadelman

Filling and delicious. It feels like you’re sitting in someone’s living room, very cozy. Great gluten free options for Celiacs!! So grateful they’re open late.

Steve Hameloth

Dined here for the gluten free options. The wait staff shared what was gluten free and I believe it was gluten free. We still got sick from cross contamination. It's too bad really as the food was delicious.

Pittsburgh friends turned us on to Paris 66 Bistro while visiting, and the four of us went for dinner. And it's a gem. The food was excellent. There were accommodations for my husband's gluten allergy. There's something for nearly everyone, including vegetarian and gluten-free options or adaptations. (There will likely be off-menu specials, too.) We enjoyed a full dinner, appetizers, wine, and dessert. Meal prices align with better restaurants with items at various price points. We received full attention from our servers without it feeling overbearing. The atmosphere is lovely. We felt like we were in France and even got to practice a little French with the owner, who is French (though French isn't needed). There is a parking garage near, beside/behind the restaurant, and street parking. As a closing note, we're a gay couple who felt welcome. I highly recommend considering Paris 66 Bistro.

The food is ALWAYS fresh and flavorful, it's ready when they say it will be and I can't say enough about the staff...old fashioned gracious "service with a smile" which is SO rare these days. (Oh...the chocolate brownie is gluten-free...and delicious)!

Emily Potucek

Thai burrito with shrimp was great. All but one item on the menu can be prepared gluten free. All of the staff was proactive and well informed.

Jarred Brewster

The good: Nice music! They had some Thelonious Monk was playing, comfortable enough, pretty good espresso The bad: they have some expensive gluten free pastries that are hands down the most vile combinations of bread and sugar that I have ever tried to consume, me and my partner got a cinnamon roll and a donut and both were basically inedible. They were impenetrably dense and dry. The icing was a sloppy mess. We threw them away and let the barista know but weren't offered a refund or an apology. It's unconscionable to sell things that are that gross. And they've intentionally covered over all the power outlets. Why? I've never been in a coffee shop that is obviously a study spot that explicitly doesn't let you charge your laptop. I get the impression of stinginess that comes at the expense of a comfortable and pleasant space for costumers

Heaven Brown

I loved how many gluten free options they have- can be rare for fast casual places! Plus the menu is clearly marked so I can tailor my order for my dietary needs. The food was also very good and filling!

Dan Dewey

Outstanding Turkish food--everything from falafel and fresh hummus to excellent grilled vegetables, lamb kababs and more. They can adapt well for gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, etc. Great service by a hard-working group!

Ania

It's a big, tasty yes. Everything was delicious, they also have good gluten free knowledge. We tried the calamri&rock shrimp, swordfish, pork chop, ravioli, Crème Brûlée, cake and ice cream (all desserts). Happy with every choice, amazing Crème Brûlée won the dessert match!
