Top 8 Gluten-Free Mediterranean Spots to Discover in Chattanooga

A dual birthday celebration led is too the Acropolis Grill. The food was delicious, Lucy our server was wonderful, and we had the opportunity to sit outside and enjoy beautiful weather. I had the Gyro Dinner with a Greek salad. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked, the pita bread was good, and the rice was well prepared. One of our party was provided a vegetarian menu, and they also provided a gluten free menu. We'll definitely be going back here!

Needed gluten free meal and was mistakenly given bread and the dish was remade with no issues. HIGHLY recommend. The food tasted great and they were very accommodating.

As a 100% Portuguese-American, I was very surprised to find a Portuguese restaurant in Chattanooga because there isn't much of a Portuguese population in TN. However, I am always up for eating at Portuguese restaurants since they're hard to come by. I was hesitant to how good the food would be, but this little joint did not disappoint! We had the bacalhau fritters which if not done right, can be soggy and greasy, but they're prepared to perfection! My husband gobbled them all up. If octopus is on the menu, I'll order it...and it was one of the best I've had since Greece. Perfectly grilled with no chewy weird texture, and the olive oil, garlic and pepper flakes it sat on made the entire dish. I asked for bread to soak up the olive oil - I didn't care about my gluten allergy! My husband had the special - rabbit paella, which he devoured, and I loved as well. The service was great; the chef came by to say hello and provided me with the name of the olive oil, and the Portuguese wine recommended was perfect. I finished the night off with the Portuguese Espresso which has port wine and whipped cream on top. So stuffed and content - walked out of there with a huge smile on my face, with much pride of the delicious meal prepared by the Portuguese!

I really love the olive garden. Their salad is so amazing. I really like to sit at the bar and watch sports on tv while I enjoy lunch or dinner. The only complaint is that they can't keep a good bartender. The bread sticks with Alfredo dipping sauce is so good as well. I just am disappointed with the changes to the Alfredo, it is more like a gravy now. Ew! Olive Garden offers several gluten free options. They have a gluten free rotini, grilled chicken, salmon, steak, and a gluten free soup option. The bathrooms are always an issue. There is always something wrong in there or water all in the floor.

This restaurant and the entire experience was amazing! We weren’t sure what to expect after we wandered into OPA thinking it was a full menu selection restaurant. The owner then greeted us enthusiastically and told us there was no menu, but instead a daily feature served. My husband nervously explained that I had an allergy to gluten and couldn’t ingest any flour or I’d get very sick. He assured us he could modify the courses for a meal to suit my sans flour needs. Our dishes were delicious, and he served us two appetizers after we initially explained I couldn’t eat the first. Oh, and we loved the pomegranate tea (even my 3-year old)! Our family will definitely be back, and I highly recommend this restaurant to others!

Brought my daughter here for lunch. They do great with ensuring a gluten-free meal for my daughter. Service was pretty quick from when we placed our order to when we received our food. Nice relaxing environment. It wasn't overly crowded when we visited, so that was enjoyable. Overall a good experience!
