Top 50 Gluten-Free Mediterranean Havens Across Florida

Michele Block

This place did not disappoint. Had the Margherita pizza and Buffalo e prosciutto. Amazing. For dairy free peeps, I can tolerate buffalo mozzarella. I found this out in Italy.

Jerry Ciotola

Food always fresh, delicious, and gluten free and vegan options are extraordinary.

Robert McGinnis

We have eaten here several times. This week when we are here we were less than happy. My wife had a gluten allergy and the GF bun was hard as a brick and could not be bitten into. she loves the GF chocolate desert that normally is severed warm and this time when we’re was still frozen in the middle. We informed the server and he shrugged it off and walked away and did not offer to fix it or even clear our plates from dinner to make room for dessert. Very very poor experience this week and we will not be returning.

food is always delicious. super allergy accomodating (plenty of actually good dairy free and gluten free options). service is always good too! we live 30 mins away and we've been over a dozen times anyway.

Lourdes Williams

Went to this restaurant with my godparents for lunch. The food is great. Service is great as well. The staff are very attentive and very friendly. I like the fact that they do have gluten-free and vegan options in their menu. I had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this restaurant. I just wish they would open a branch in Saint Augustine. Saint Augustine is a very touristy town and it is growing. A lot of people in Saint Augustine will be very happy if there will be a True Food Kitchen here.

AMAZING celiac safe service

Kaitlin PaulHus

Thank you Justin for your hard work & kindness! Justin took great care of my mom, she has celiac, so it’s always nice to have a server who is knowledgeable about the menu. It was a delight sitting up at the bar & being served by you. I look forward to coming back!

Isabelle Rocheleau

Dawn was amazing! Took care of my family very well! I also have a gluten allergy and she made sure the kitchen was aware and I did not get sick! Thank you Dawn!

Breakfast lunch or dinner do not even hesitate a while. The abandon of gluten-free options available on the menu makes you lose your mind for all the items. And they are not only on the menu, but they also have them in reality, and they are so amazingly good and tasty that we made it twice to that place. Once we made it for breakfast to have the gluten-free pancakes and French toast, and the second time we made it to lunch to have a gluten-free pizza with cauliflower crust. Both times it was a feast, fresh, very well prepared, very yummy, and confirmed that is gluten-free. If you're a vegetarian, also can you wanna introduce some changes to the menu? They are totally open to that and patient to your picks, because this is exactly what we did when choosing our breakfast menu as a combo with those pancakes and French toast, they were totally OK with us excluding meat from combo.

Really lovely food, felt like a treat but guilt free as was cooked healthy Excellent gluten free options for my daughter who is Celiac

They have a very extensive gluten free menu and are safe for celiacs. Have eaten here many times and the allergen food is always ran by a manager

Paige Davis

First of all, wow. Just wow this place is amazing. I lived in Italy and have traveled around Europe and this place genuinely has the atmosphere of being abroad. Also, I have a severe gluten allergy and not only did this place have so many amazing gluten free options, but our server, Boris, took time to make sure everything was prepared in a safe manor and explain to me the gluten free options. We will 1000000% be back and I will be telling everyone I know about this place. Amazing food, experience and quality!

Oscar Picon

Have not been here for about 3 years. Love coming in the late fall, winter and early spring in the morni g and during weekends before 930am. If not your waiting for tables. I had the cinnamon pancakes with Applewood bacon. Tasty. Wife had gluten free pancakes with Turkey bacon. She loved ut. Sister in law had a goat cheese Omleete with Potatoes. She was hapoy. Great place early, cause it's quiet. Personally we only come for breakfast.

Daniel Smithurst

Absolutely amazing place to eat. Especially for gluten free!! Their homemade pasta is gluten free!!

Delicious Brunch with very fast attention 👏🏼 Exquisite brunch with a wide variety of savory and sweet options for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They have a wide variety of coffees, toasts, bowls, pastries or pastries such as croissants of all kinds, salads, cold drinks among other things. Food options are focused on healthy and nutritious. There are several high protein or “protein” options. They also have Gluten Free, gluten free protein, Vegetarian and Vegan protein options too!! . The attention is first class, everyone is very friendly and fast. You order at the cashier and they give you a number that you take to the table and later they deliver your order to the table. All very delicious and fresh. They are pet friendly and they even give you a bowl of water for the dogs. I recommend it, it is an excellent option and I would dare to say one of the best in South Beach Miami. There is space to park in the surrounding area, although the area is quite busy on weekends. I use and recommend a friend would say.

Eric Starace

Carmen's has a great gluten free menu, and David, the bartender who served us was absolutely exceptional. This is our first time here but we will definitely be back! Our new favorite place for lunch in Pensacola.

Dea V

If you’re looking for a fantastic restaurant this is the place! Delicious Mediterranean food with knowledgeable servers and allergy friendly options. There are lots of options here if you’re dairy or gluten free. Lots of dishes can be modified as well. Great atmosphere and prices are decent as well. The spinach rice is amazing!

Cara Favasoli

Maria Fernanda provided outstanding service to my family and me. She accommodated my gluten-free diet and made us all feel welcome. Maria Fernanda and Luis, the manager, were both exceedingly professional. The food was excellent!

Christina Harrold

Picked up my 2 large pizzas, 1 gluten free pizza and a Greek salad one hour prior to closing- the Greek salad was bland and non of the ingredients were chopped- the gluten free pizza was probably the best GF pizza I’ve ever had. My family said the regular pizzas were good. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a good pizzas place.

K G

Gluten free pizza had good ingredients but wouldn't be my top pick for pizza. They weren't helpful with other selections. I would like to try for breakfast.

Valerie Rifkin

Amazing safe and delicious gf Mediterranean food

Tina Travels

This was a pleasant surprise for our group. Searching for a restaurant to accommodate several diet restrictions (gluten free, vegan, etc) we came upon this one and decided to give it a try. OMG! It was soooo good. The atmosphere is little underwhelming, but that never bothers me. Our waitress was the owner's (and chef) daughter and she was very knowledgeable and patient with our one million questions. We ended up ordering the seafood Moroccan tagine, the chicken Moroccan tagine and the skewer platter. The tagine was filled with plenty of meat and was a very generous portion full of flavor. It's a stew like dish served in a boiling pot with a plate of rice, so you put your tagine on your rice yourself. I loved this because I decided how much of the broth/sauce and rice I wanted. The skewer platter was also a generous portion and the meat was very tender. For dessert one of our group had the Pistachio baklava and raved about it. This will definitely be a regular in our restaurant rotation now.

Lindsay Johnson

They have an excellent happy hour! Also the most delicious homemade gluten free pita. The tzatziki dip is the best I've ever had and saganaki is a childhood favorite. Highly recommend this location.

Sue Erickson

We ordered 4 pizzas to dine in. One was gluten free. She brings 3 pizzas out. We wait for 25 minutes and ask where the gluten free pizza was. She said this is it. We asked why she put it in front of another couple. It was 3/4 eaten. She said she would order another gluten free. 1/2 hour later I asked another waiter where the gluten free pizza was. I then said give us our bill. Paid the bill and needless to say she got no tip. It was like she didn’t want to be there. Not attentive. Very poor service. She took the pizza off our bill and we never got the one that was reordered.

Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and solid gluten-free options! I’m celiac and eat gluten-free, and I had the entrée salad with shrimp, it was delicious and I didn’t get sick. I was hoping it would come with ham as well (like the side salad appetizer the rest of the family ate), so next time I’ll ask for both shrimp and ham on the entrée salad. The architecture and ambiance are beautiful, and we really enjoyed the two pitchers of sangria — definitely a 10/10! The only downside was the service staff was very kind and friendly and did they best they could. Our group of 8 felt a bit forgotten, and after waiting to order dessert and water refill, we paid and left after about two hours. Overall, it was a great experience. I’d definitely recommend going with a smaller group (maybe 3–6 people) for a smoother visit.

Great attention to gluten allergy

Ashley Daly

UPDATE: I sent this review to the email address they provided same day as they requested in their reply to this review. They acknowledged that they got it and have said nothing since. Do not be fooled. They have done nothing to help me here. I will update this review if they ever reply or do anything. Terrible experience. Bad service, not safe, below average food. The waitress did not write down our order and was very frantic. When the food came out, my mom’s (Celiac) was not the correct dish she ordered. It came out with plantains (fired in a shared fryer) and not on an allergy plate. Our waitress went back and came back in less than 2 minutes with a new one on an allergy plate. We think she just moved it to an allergy plate and removed the plantains. However, the dish was still not what she ordered and when she told the waitress, she said yes you did order this. My mom very nicely tried to jog the waitress’ memory on how we ordered and the waitress said “whatever” and walked away. Did not offer to get my mom anything else or apologize for any misunderstanding. My mom did not feel comfortable eating what she ordered so she ended up splitting my filet (also Celiac). It was a below average filet and we both felt bad the next day (likely cross contaminated). On top of that, no one at our table of 6 ever got a water refill throughout dinner

Pedro Deburgo

Bruno was so attentive and made great dinner suggestions. My daughter has a gluten and dairy allergy and she still had an incredible plate. Hands down most delicious pasta place in Miami!

Jason C

I had a truly wonderful dinner here with family. The service was absolutely outstanding, everyone was so warm and welcoming! The food was sublime, loved the hummus, gluten free pita (also most of the menu could be made completely gluten free, even a GF fryer for the falafel!), the fattoush salad was out of this world, as was the swordfish and yoghurt chicken. The pavlova was mind blowing also!! The setting is very peaceful and the restaurant is tastefully decorated, I loved the outdoor terrace and the transitional lighting from day to night. One of my new favorite restaurants in Fort Lauderdale and will definitely return again soon!

Denise Colette Briez

Best meal we've had in Miami all week. Food A+, Service A+, Atmosphere A+. Every dish was seasoned to perfection and crave worthy. They accommodated my gluten free dietary restriction with easy grace. We tried the octopus appetizer and a baked houlumi cheese appetizer that wasn't on the menu. For dinner I had the tuna and my husband had the red snapper. His was just a hint overcooked but mine was melt-in-the mouth perfect. Be warned, THE SERVING SIZES ARE GENEROUS.

V Brightside

Very flavorful hummus. They had a dedicated gluten free menu. Wine selection sections were super clutch like “wines from the ancient world”. Great place to go on a date. I enjoyed the short rib also.

Crystina

Excellent authentic Mediterranean food! Large selection of food items and the menu clearly states all allergen options with a logo for the allergens so it was very easy to read for some of our gluten intolerant guests. Our party thought the cold and hot appetizers tasted better than the entrees, they were delicious. I had an issue with my main entree and the waitstaff were quick to fix it and the kitchen was able to re-make my plate immediately they were very kind.

Summer-anne Kiernan

Great services, great food (even with vegan & gluten free options!) and lovely staff.

I had high hopes for AVA MediterrAegean, a Michelin-starred restaurant, but the experience fell far short of expectations. Upon arrival, the front area was chaotic—about 15 people crammed together, loud and intoxicated, with no notice that our reservation would be delayed by 20 minutes due to the restaurant running behind on schedule. Once seated, the table placement was awkward and cramped, with chairs directly in a high-traffic area. My fiancé’s MCM designer bag was knocked over twice—once by a server bumping into the table, who then gave a little chair to put it on since there were no bag holders, a second by another server bumping into that chair where they tripped and sent the bag flying to the floor. On top of that, my jacket was knocked off the back of my chair and stepped on, terrible location. Service was rushed and impersonal, with no recommendations or mention of specials. Drinks took 15 minutes to order but arrived at least arrived quickly. For appetizers, the meatballs were overly salty, though my fiancé enjoyed them, and the potatoes were bland, and I had requested olive oil twice to be brought. The entrées were disappointing: my black truffle risotto was just average, and my fiancé’s filet mignon was chewy. Despite informing the waiter about celiac disease, the saffron rice came with phyllo dough when we asked without it, and had to be remade. Dessert, a crème brûlée, was, let’s just say forgettable and nothing special. Adding insult to injury, the bill included an automatic 18% service charge for our table of two, which felt unwarranted given the mediocre service. At nearly $300 for two, I expected a refined and luxurious dining experience, not chaos and mediocre food, especially Michelin rated. Perhaps it was an off night for them on a busy Saturday evening, but Michelin stars demand consistency, and this didn’t deliver. I wouldn’t recommend or return here, and would definitely question how they even got a star for their food. There are far better places around that have made a significant impression.

Hannah Gray

I love CAVA. So far everything I’ve tried is so good. I love the concept of making your own bowl. Their sauces and options are amazing. There are a lot of gluten free things to choose from, too. My only gripe is that they don’t have a lot of vegan protein options and their falafel has wheat which really doesn’t belong in falafel. It’s chickpea flour so they’re usually naturally gluten free. Hopefully, they’ll get on the band wagon and have some more options like bolay and fresh kitchen! I love them and I will def go back! I highly recommend and I know they’ll figure out the other issues bc they will welcome a huge audience if they do that!

Avneet

We had a great time here for a girl’s dinner, Luis our server was great and very attentive. Would recommend ordering the Wagyu skirt steak, wasabi mashed potatoes, and the yoza! They also had a variety of gluten free and vegetarian/vegan options for everyone which was nice.

Kathryn Janicek

I’ve been coming here for 15 years. Service is always extraordinary. Do not be overwhelmed if you have food allergies. They now have a food allergy menu and there are a ton of gluten and dairy free options. Eat here! (I prefer the outdoor seating on the harbor.)

Thomas Alexander

Amazing place and amazing food!! Gluten free friendly!

Stephen Boyd

Toni caters to any dietary needs and the food is always delicious!! I recommend reserving the “chefs table”. You give Toni the basic food you want and dietary needs and she whips up a 8-10 course awesome meal. We love this place!! I have Celiac disease and have never had a problem eating here.

Cheryl Stadtler

Delicious! Gluten friendly 🙂

Angela Barton

I forget the name of the sub I got but it had ham turkey and pepperoni and all the fixings and the peanut butter pie. I have gluten allergies. The sandwich was the best gluten free sandwich I’ve ever had! It was so big I could only eat 1/2. The PB pie was equally as delightful. Would 100% recommend!

Eric von Hollander

Awesome dinner, full bar, fun atmosphere! We started with the broiled octopus, which was absolutely delicious and tender. Highly recommend. For dinner we had imported lamb chops, cooked perfectly, the salmon with dill sauce and the combination platter. Service was prompt and friendly, food portions were very good, plenty of gluten free options (wife has celiacs) and was very kid friendly for our little ones. Would absolutely rush back here for dinner.

Leidys Mara Fuentes Leiva

gluten free food !!! Great team !!!!

Lisa Le

One of our favorite places to eat in Celebration! The food here is excellent and each time we go the servers have been wonderful! The 1905 salad is so good and gluten free- (you can request dairy free) They prepare it at the table for you- bery feative.The soups are great and literally every meal we have had there is flavorful and delicious. The mohitos are also fabulous- also made at the table if you order a pitcher! And of courae the Flan is top notch!

Em McDermott

Delicious fusion food and drinks. Staff very attentive. Our writer was Aris and he was great. Knowledgeable about gluten-free. Good atmosphere and we had a great meal and a good time.

karen jones

What great customer service we had. My sister-in-law (who had not been there before as she is not from this area) is gluten intolerant and was trying to decide what she could order. Allyson heard our conversation and offered a gluten-free menu. She was very friendly and created a great atmosphere for us. I have eaten here more than a few times, but this was the first time I was not 100% pleased with the food. It seemed a bit bland, and after I ate I thought it might have needed some more salt. Since I NEVER add salt to food when I eat out, I had not even considered that. If the food had been up to standard, as it has always been in the past, I would have given five stars. This one food experience will not give me pause; I will definitely go again. Note: Allyson is awesome and needs to be cloned!

Keenan

Fantastic food. I had the chicken fusion bowl and the chicken was delicious, very well flavored. My wife is gluten free and had plenty of tasty food options as well.

Leo Kormanik II

Phenomenal meal. Great atmosphere with a cool DJ and nice chill vibe. Good gluten free options as well. Visit for a great meal and vibe.

Karla Guerrero

Out of this world food and many vegan and gluten-free options and dog friendly they even brought water for my little booster love the service I will definitely be back

Emily Osborne

Great spot for quick & healthy options! Gluten free friendly, the manager Todd was extremely helpful with this! Love the cold tea options and variety of toppings to choose from. Perfect place for a quick stop for a nourishing/fast meal!
