Top 15 Gluten-Free Late-Night Spots to Enjoy in South End, Boston

Samuel Rabinowitz

Amazing experience all around. Innovative menu, great service and atmosphere, and delicious food. The fusion between French and Cambodian is done with separate menu sections, but some influence across boundaries. Perfect for a date night or a group. The bar has an annoyingly-large and out of place TV though. Appetizer: Kapik King, a slow-cooked spiced pork belly with a rice croquette and pickles, was perfectly cooked and spiced, and a good portion. The three parts of the dish complemented each other - the melt-in-your-mouth sweet-and-spicy meat, crispy rice, and crunchy salty pickles. 5/5 Appetizer: Leah Chah, mussels in a white whine sauce but with an Asian twist, almost like a light curry. Definitely better than the standard, but two complaints: pretty small portion, and no bread for dipping. 4/5 Entree: Pavé de Saumon, beautifully cooked salmon with mushrooms, over mashed potatoes, and with an arugula side salad. Flavorful, French, and good portion. 5/5 Entree: Curry d’Agneau aux Légumes, braised lamb curry with veggies, Cambodian, bursting with flavor from all the spice, good portion size. 5/5 Desserts: Le Péché au Chocolat, a rich French chocolate truffle cake with raspberry, and Sangkhia l’Pao, a Cambodian squash and coconut cake that was less sweet but nonetheless an awesome dessert with good texture. 4/5 Drinks: non-alcoholic: Elephant Walk Punch (blood orange, passion fruit, lime) 5/5 Kalamansi agave limeade (kalamansi is a Filipino relative of an orange), but it was too orangey, 4/5 Some of these dishes were on the special menu, which is always long, so you may not find these exact dishes when you go. Good vegetarian, pescatarian, and gluten free-options. We went for Dine Out Boston, so it was $46 for appetizer, entree, and dessert, and we got $9 nonalcoholic spritzers, but normally it would be $13-17 for an appetizer and and $24-32 for an entree. So not too bad.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING pizza. I got the pineapple, bacon, and hot honey gluten free pizza delivered and loved it. I loved the flavors and for gluten free pizza it was amazing. Definitely will be ordering again!

Amazing! As a severely lactose intolerant person with a partner who has Celiac disease, we often struggle to find places to eat. This place had gluten free cones and all the ice cream was coconut based. You couldn’t even tell! Delicious.

Matthew Fanning

Everything we ate was fantastic. My wife is gluten free, one of the managers marked up a menu to layout her choices. Highly recommend the house made ricotta!! A bit loud, but that’s because everyone was enjoying themselves.

Erica Ferrone

They were incredible!! Food was so delicious and as a girl with a gluten and dairy allergy, I was truly blown away by how careful they were with my order. I wish I could go here every night

Amazing place for brunch with a live jazz band.. Food was excellent! Our server Juan Was so energetic and fun! Also helped Accommodate my friend who is gluten-free.. Highly recommended!

Casandra Fox

Victor was an amazing server. I have a gluten allergy and he confirmed everything I requested was actually gluten free. The food was incredible, especially the duck carnitas tamales were amazing. My boyfriend raved about the wings. The tortillas used in the tacos were superb and the passion fruit margarita was fantastic. The restaurant was beautiful, inside and out.

My group came here for dinner while we were visiting the area and were all very impressed with the food and the service here. My gluten free pasta was outstanding and the noodles themselves were definitely good quality, not the budget stuff you get at grocery stores. Everyone else loved their pizzas and all said they would be back on our next trip. Atmosphere was not quite what I expected, but that not a bad thing, just don't worry about looking nice to come here! Casual and comfortable with awesome food. 10/10 give them a try.

Gluten Free Pizza! Yummy! One of the better ones I’ve had, top 5 for sure! You won’t go wrong here! Also available on GrubHub and Uber Eats which I did yesterday and was so good that I decided to come in person to enjoy it right out of the oven!

Living in the South End all my life, I’ve been blessed with so many unique restaurants nearby. We even have a seafood boil restaurant! Bootleg Special’s seafood boil is amazing and the garlic noodle is a must! The drinks are super fun and the vibe, NOLA speakeasy. Love it. Yesterday was the first time I stopped by for brunch and it has to be Boston’s best brunch spot! It is great for dates, girls outing, friends and family gatherings. Let’s just say it can accommodate any occasion because it’s such a fun and unique experience. I really enjoyed their brunch menu which include soufflé pancakes, bootleg Benedict, and brunch garlic noodles. They also have MANY gluten free options. I’ve also tried their newly launched menu item, the ConeNado and my favorite was the lobster clam chowder! Super fun and delicious! This is a must visit!

I did not take any photos because I was very much in the moment. This was one of the best meals my husband and I have ever had out! I have to eat a gluten free diet, and they brought us out dishes that were all gluten free. The wine pairings for the dishes were on point. The manager came over and offered us two different white wines to choose from with our meal. One was a very unique white wine while the other was more what you may expect, so she was giving us tastes of each so we could choose. We chose the unique wine - I believe it was made with the grape skins still intact, which gave it an interesting flavor. The service was on point from everyone we came into contact with. Loved every moment of this dining experience.

Really great experience at Yellow Door Taqueria, conveniently by the Ink Block development. They have lots of outdoor tables, bookable on OpenTable, including some under the overhang (for minor drizzle protection) but still fully open-air. Food was delicious and fairly priced, and service was excellent. I listed out all my food allergies and Raffy handled me with aplomb – making me confident in and happy with all the food I got! There's a dedicated gluten-free frier for the chips but it does have seafood cooked in it, so they were kind enough to bring me some cute sliced corn tortillas to have with their delicious house-made guacamole for an appetizer. I can highly recommend the birria tacos (pan-fried and cheesy with excellent barbacoa) and chicken tinga taco (delicious on the plain, house-made corn tortilla). Rice and beans were ok – beans dramatically lardy and rice a little mushy, but ok. The kitchen was thoughtful enough to sub the 'avocado frito' on the chicken tinga for some plain avocado for me. Overall, an excellent experience for delicious tacos, with great outdoor dining and good care for my dietary restrictions. $60 subtotal for a party of two with chips and guacamole and 2-3 hearty tacos and sides but no drinks; more like $90 for two with drinks.

We walked over here after we were told friendly toast was a two hour wait. We sat immediately here and the quality of food was excellent. They offered gluten free bread for celiac Annie which was a nice surprise. I throughly enjoyed the traditional Eggs Benedict. Kids menu had some great choices was well. Service was good and enjoyed that they offered quite a few unique breakfast/brunch drink options.

Rebecca Jackson

I really like this place. The food is good, always something unique on the menu. I had a delicious gluten free meal. Never been disappointed.

Great food in a little counter-service restaurant. In my 3 days in Boston this was the only restaurant I found that didn't feel like it was overpriced. I ordered ziti with meatballs and marinara and got two meals worth. We watched a few college students try to tell the difference between two Lagunitas and Harpoon IPAs by taste alone, and the TV was showing AFV instead of sports which was a very welcome change. Also quite close to Fomu for a post meal treat. Can make gluten-free wings if asked.
