Top 46 Gluten-Free Late-Night Spots to Explore in Central Minneapolis

TL;DR - Substantial drop in food quality and service. I can't imagine myself visiting this location again, and you shouldn't imagine yourself going here either. Pizza Luce has always been a place I could rely on for great food and service, but my most recent visit was incredibly disappointing. During my visit I got a Breggfast pizza to eat there, and Gluten Free Bruscetta to go; both were entirely disappointing. Pizza - I got the Breggfast pizza with their Buffa-Luce sauce... well, at least that's what I ordered. What I got was a pizza crust with some ingredients on it, but no sauce. When I mentioned it to the waiter, he told me it was there. I restated that in fact, no, it was not, and showed him the pizza, and he informed me that I was incorrect and it was there, and then just walked away without another word. So apparently as far as this waiter was concerned, I'm blind and have no taste buds. Gluten Free Bruscetta - Oh, I'm sorry, did I say Bruscetta, I meant the cheapest, most terrible gluten free hamburger buns you can find. Pizza Luce's GF Bruscetta used to be, hands down, the best around. I believe they got the bread from a local bakery and perhaps they aren't around any longer, but if you can't find a good alternative, then just don't have any. If I had to guess, they just use Schar hamburger buns, though that feels like an insult to Shar. These were terrible; they tasted like cardboard and were soggy. Pizza Luce was always a safe bet when I was in the area, for both Pizza and gluten free items, but this visit was a joke, and an expensive one at that.

We visited during our vacation and had an incredible experience. Our server, Ellie, was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and ensured that my daughter, who has Celiac, had all the items clearly marked as gluten-free. They use separate fryers and cooktops, and even offer gluten-free buns and wings! The food was so delicious that we decided to come back the very next day!

Molly Vielhauer

absolutely love their gluten free pastas!

Alysha Hoopman

Celiac friendly

Melissa Grant

Love love love this place! Amazingly good! The garlic cheese bread is the best ever! The pizza’s are soooo good! They did a wonderful job on the gluten free crust! The atmosphere is adorable and we had the best server ever!

Shylo Benz

Best breakfast I’ve EVER had. I got the Scromble of The Day. Tomatoes and Chimichurri *chefs kiss* I’m gluten free and the GF English muffins were great.. I got TWO with my breakfast. My dad got the breakfast burrito and he loved it! Super cool spot to check out in downtown Minneapolis.

Nora Bengtson

The servers were knowledge and incredibly helpful. Most of the menu can be made gluten free!

Ella Grace

Everything was delicious and service was fantastic! My partner has severe celiac and our server went above and beyond to make sure she was safe. The food and drink selection were excellent and the price tag for two was reflected the quality. My only complaint was the noise- it was difficult to have a conversation even on a Tuesday night. I’ll be making a reservation for the patio next time!

Charley Alden

Such a great place to safely eat gluten free 😋

So 49ER Day party at Crave Rooftop was a lot of fun and the food was delicious. I was pretty surprised at how extensive their menu was. Oftentimes, when restaurants have a lot of items and different types and styles, it isn't always good. But when I tell you my bison burger and wings were very tasty. There was lots of flavor and made just the way I wanted. I don't like my wings swimming in sauce, so I asked for light sauce on my wings, and they listened, and it was just how I like. Their menu even has a gluten sensitive menu as well as a plant based menu. I was impressed with their options. If you find yourself in downtown Minneapolis, you should definitely check them out. You will not be disappointed!

Great pizza, even if you’re Gluten-free or dairy-free! Atmosphere is great (at Christmas it’s decorated really well!) and pizza is amazing. Our server was so great too! You can get half pies so I got half of the #11 (Persian beef, harissa) which was amazing and had a kick to it but wasn’t too spicy. Such a good middle eastern twist on a classic pizza. I also got #13 (ricotta, goat cheese, lemon, basil) which was good but not as flavorful as the other, it’s pretty subdued with the lemon and fluffy cheeses. My husband got GF crust with Vegan Cheese and pepperoni and said it was really good crust and liked the big thin pepperonis! Can’t wait to go back!

Ashley Maillet

We loved our breakfast here! Love the options, I avoid gluten, but not celiac and the chilaquiles was amazing.

Matt Nordin

Always fun! Cheap drinks, good food and even Gluten Free beer on tap!

Michelle Nicholson

Gluten free pasta was amazing! Service was awesome!

Jenny Moore

Ordered from here via door dash. Food was amazing and they had gluten free options for my family member with Celiac's disease. Will be recommending this place to my friends and other family. The food was amazing!

Eric Paul

This place is excellent! We were visiting the area from out of town and were very excited to have some Ethiopian food while in the Twin Cities - and this one is all plant based too! The family that owns and operates the place is so warm and welcoming, we instantly felt at home. We shared the large sampler between the three of us and it was just the right amount of food. The gluten-free injera was some of the best I've ever had, and the beet dish on the sampler platter was a new one for us and quickly became a favorite. Highly recommend!

Tony Veigel

Good gluten free options

Nate Meyer

We had reservations at NoLo but called an audible and went here instead because they had a lot of Gluten Free options. No regrets, we would definitely go back. We’d go back just for the jerk chicken, so good!

Nick Koons

Great Hmong Southeast Asian food at Graze! I’m so glad I tried this place. It mixes some familiar and some more unique flavors. I got the grilled tofu plate with kow soi noddles and sticky rice. Overall, super delicious and flavorful, and I love that it’s vegan! The veggies and herbs really made the dish fresh and tasty. I also got a strawberry guava juice, which was very good. I would definitely come back here. Lots of options including vegan and gluten free. Service was fast and very friendly.

Catherine TD

The place is aesthetically pleasing but I would not go back as a person with gluten free/celiac. I only got a Cobb salad with no breadcrumbs which they assured me it can be done with a celiac allergy. About 20mins after my stomach felt awful and still does the next day. My non celiac friends enjoyed it. This post is just for the gf community. I eat out a couple of times a month and have not been glutened in a few yrs.

Angela W

We came to O’Donavan’s not expecting gluten free options but I was blown away by their service and willingness to accommodate me. I ordered a burger with no bun thinking there was no gluten free buns and the server came back out and asked me if I was gluten free and offered a gluten free bun option for me. They also came back out to ask me if it was an allergy or preference and told me they could make the fries separately without a seasoning to make sure it was gluten free for me. The server was super friendly and helpful and told us about other gluten free places to visit while we are in town. I was blown away with the overall experience! I will be recommending to all of my celiac friends :)

Grace Brunina

Was brought here before a twins game, they made me a gluten free pizza which was better than what I can get in NY! That might just be the alcohol talking, though! :)

Becca Even

Great atmosphere, welcoming and kind service, diverse menu, and delicious food! Loved that they also had gluten free options. Highly recommend the Gf flatbread!

Josie G

Wow! This place was an awesome find while my husband and I were walking around. I was surprised and so grateful that they were able to accommodate so many items gluten free. We ordered drinks and chilled edamame with gluten free soy sauce. It was delicious! I have never had chilled edamame and was pleasantly surprised. We sat at the bar and all of the servers, hosts/hostesses, and bartenders were very patient and friendly, even while dealing with a huge crowd. Overall, this place has an incredible and truly authentic Japanese vibe. Incredible atmosphere. 5/5!

Giulia has a very nice, sophisticated and warm atmosphere. The furniture and the surrounding is very modern and comforting. You can spend some time there easily. They have a very good wine menu and cocktails. The food was very good. Very tasty, fresh, good ingredients. I’d definitely go there again. They have vegetarian gluten-free options. There is a symbol for vegan options as well but when we were there, there was no vegan meal on the menu. It’s good for a date night or when you meet with friends or even with a bigger group. They have plenty of space.

We had lunch on a Saturday. Nice restaurant with a popular bar. Quality food. Excellent Gluten-free pasta and bread, Excellent hamburger with thick fresh ground beef patty. Lunch for 2 people with 1 beer and 1 glass of wine was $52 before tip.

Molly Vielhauer

one of the best gluten free wraps i’ve ever had. highly recommend

Zahrah Sita

It’s a nice casual place for gathering and dining. The meals were a bit undersized for the price. The soup was a tad too salty. There was an order mix up yet they did take care of it promptly. It would be nice to see more gluten-free, vegetarian and children’s options. You can see through mirrors in the bathrooms to the bathrooms of the opposite gender. Both myself and my son found that a bit unsettling.

Jim Rosa

Great drinks and fast service! Went there before a Twins game, and they made sure we made it out in time. Food is great with and a separate menu for gluten-free options.

Sabrina Spörk Woodling

The patio is kind of cute but service was really slow. I definitely attribute this to the fact that the servers seemed understaffed. Our server was super nice either way. The drinks were good, not amazing but good. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu and my dietary restrictions (gluten intolerant) they were kind enough to make adjustments to my dishes. The food was good as well. Would return!

Mandie Langman

We ate here before seeing The Lion King at the Orpheum. It's a nice walking distance from the theater and a nice atmosphere for a dressed up, special night out. Service: Outstanding. Our server, Mario, was spectacular. Attentive and personable. He was also kind enough to give us happy hour prices even though we technically weren't sitting on the happy hour side of the curtain. That meant a lot to us as we didn't see anything on line stating these prices only applied to certain tables and was a factor in our choosing this eatery. Food: Delicious. I appreciated the many gluten free options. I had cornbread and the stuffed mushrooms. The cornbread was amazing! I shared it with my husband but could have easily eaten it all myself. The mushrooms were a bit heavy on the garlic. I would have preferred that flavor to have been a bit more subtle. My husband had the bison burger and enjoyed it. It's spicy but as he described, "a nice level of heat." We had the vanilla bean creme brulee, and it was a wonderfully smooth, flavorful custard. Drinks: Good. I had a glass of Chateau St Michelle Riesling, a wine I choose often so I knew I'd like it. My husband had the Old Fashioned, which was made with Maker's Mark and just isn't his favorite alcohol, but that's not really the restaurant's fault as he did choose to order it. Overall, this is a place we'd visit again the next time we're in the theater district!

We loved the breakfast options on Saturday morning, and the HUGE, delicious portions! And...NO WAIT HERE! Down the street the Hen House had an ENORMOUS wait...wwhile we sat right down, ordered and happily were enjoying our meal! Skip the Hen House and belly up to the 8th Street Bar and Grill for AMAZINGLY FRESH, WELL-SEASONED FOOD! The Southwest Chicken Salad was amazing...so much so that we bought it Friday evening for dinner before running off to the WNBA MN Lynx vs NY Liberty game while on our way to see the Lynx win game 4 of the finals! The walk from the Westin where we stayed to this joint was short and easy...and so was the walk to the Target Arena. The steak on the steak and eggs breakfast plate/platter was of a VERY generous size alongside what literally appeared to be a MOUNTAIN, I'm talking like like 2 cups (!!) of seasoned potatoes and wheat toast that was so thick I mistook it for a Belgian waffle on another patron's plate when we arrived! The eggs were gently cooked to a PERFECT over- medium. Similarly, the sirloin steak was EXPERTLY prepared to a precise medium with some seasoned butter plopped atop it when it was served. The ONLY dings this place receives from my review is the server today was crabby and not friendly at all, not wanting to be bothered by our conversation or our questions. Likewise, no one greets you upon arrival, and you enter sort of bewildered while wondering, where's the hostess that all the signs upon arrival state you are supposed to find in order to be seated?! Furthermore, the host refused our request to sit out front saying it was too dusty to eat there...and instead, HE CHOSE for us to sit under what appeared to us to be a dingy overhanging concrete alleyway(behind the blowup/red wavy guy--see photo overhanging, dark area behind where we are posing). Had we had those experiences the evening before when we dined, we likely would not have returned, but the server the night before was accommodating and careful with my need for gluten free options where today the woman literally grew impatient and rushed me along when ordering--NOT b/c they were busy, mind you--they weren't! She sort of rolled her eyes when I asked for no tortilla strips for fear of cross contamination and when I requested no seasoning on the chicken as well as for them to place the salad dressing on the side. I mean, I wasn't trying to be a PITA...I have a severe food allergy, lady! I think someone may have urinated in her cheerios this morning. Who knows? Regardless, her and the host's off-putting ways did not dampen our spirits and enthusiasm for the yummy food we received, thankfully. My only words of caution? A) Wear a parka into the bathroom and ensure you rub your hands together extra long under the ICY sink water, or you'll lose sensation in your fingers. NO JOKE...the temperature upon entry into the restroom HAD TO BE an icy 40 degrees! I felt like I just stepped into the restaurant's walk-in freezer...spouse said the same thing, so I KNOW it wasn't just me! And...B) Do NOT sit outside IF you don't want to smell almost CONSTANT skunk/ Marijuana! It LITERALLY was being smoked at the table next to us! And almost every third walker was actively reeking with it OR actively smoking it as they took their leisurely Saturday morning stroll downtown! Overall though? This place is worth checking out if you want generous portions, yummy, fuss-free food, and no wait! Our food was served in less than 15 minutes both times we visited and was cooked to perfection both times also!

Don't miss this place! Imaginative menu, wonderful good and great wait staff! I'll be back again before I leave town! And great gluten free options!

Kim Spangler Schwietz

The only disappointment was that there weren't a few specialty dishes prepared, gluten free. Even eggs Benedict, a pasta salad and a few desserts would have been nice. (Easter Brunch)

Kyle Lee

Food and ambiance was great! Server April was really helpful navigating my gluten free needs and did a great job describing everything!

Matt Nordin

Fun stop for the Vikings draft watch party! Jayden was amazing. Super busy but still took the time to answer our Gluten Free questions. No dedicated fryer, but enough gluten-free options to satisfy. Non Gluten free tenders were super good and tender. Nashville hot wings were very good as well.

Lisa Russell

In and out easily (w reservations) before a show at The Orpheum. Food was delicious, cocktails were tasty, staff was awesome. Will definitely return. Gluten Free dining was easy here, menu is marked for GF dishes, which is always helpful.

Ariane Laxo

Delicious. Plenty of gluten free options. Super pricy though

Patrick Stephenson

Friendly service from owner Shaun and delicious food! The meat is so flavorful and the sauces have some real bite, especially the REAPER which is a flavorful mouth burner. They have vegan and gluten-free options as well! Guaranteed good comfort food, especially on a rainy day like today. Pro tip: Stop by on Sunday for the s'mores waffles. They really hit the spot, especially if you have kids.

Brianna Titone

The major issue I had with my experience was that after explaining to the server that one guest was gluten free, there was no effort to explain what dishes fit that description and no GF soy sauce was brought until requested. The soy sauce they eventually brought was in a bottle that was not gluten free, but reused from a low sodium product and had to be verified. If someone says they're gluten free, this should set the server up to explain what's what and deliver items appropriate for that guest. The food was tasty although I found the short rib to be tough. The sashimi pieces were smaller than I expected based on other restaurants I've been to. The group enjoyed their food. The side dish plates with the BBQ were small and didn't allow for sharing much. The atmosphere was 'eh', although it was clean. For the price, I would expect a bit better overall experience.

Don't get me wrong, the food I had was great, but in the way you would expect at this price point vs being mindblowingly amazing. However, where I can say they did an amazing job is with dietary accommodations. When asked, they provided a color-coded menu with many different dietary labels, including gluten aware, dairy free, vegan, and allium free. This menu also indicated which items could be adjusted to accommodate a specific diet. Many upscale restaurants are weirdly evasive when it comes to dietary needs, including some that are downright insulting and exclusive, as if people who can't have cheese don't deserve nice food. 112 Eatery's approach was a breath of fresh air. If you or your guest have dietary restrictions, this restaurant is a place you can rest easy.

Rachel Cafferty

Popped in here for dinner before a Timberwolves game and it was fantastic! The menu was easy to order from with dietary restrictions clearly listed (dairy free, vegetarian, gluten free, vegan), plus all of our food was delicious, and service was exceptional. Still thinking about the Navratan Korma. We will absolutely be back and I’m so glad to know about this spot!

Artemis Swanson

Excellent little place located in a prime intersecting spot in a great neighborhood. One of the best gluten free pizzas in the city. Staff is great!

Alaina Brown

Delicious food with wide variety of menu offerings including gluten free options, excellent server, very cute restaurant. Highly recommend
