Top 13 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Near South Side, Chicago

Erica Taylor

The food was delicious. And the atmosphere was just what I would want from an upscale pub. The one issue was I had to do my order 3 times. Once with the original waitress, once bc of a gluten sensitivity which I had explained to the waitresses and once to the person serving it bc there was no Cheese on my cheese burger. Otherwise great.

Excellent gluten free waffles! Their sausage is more like kielbasa and good.

I adore this place. I'm vegan/vegetarian, and they have a whole, dedicated vegan menu. I'm so excited to try all of the items on it!! 😊 I have a friend with celiacs disease that can eat here because they tag items as GF. The gluten free friend didn't have any reaction to their cooking, so I believe they know what they're doing! We did let them know ahead of time, and the server was able to reassure us and pick some great options. 🥢 Their tiki drinks are also very fun and strong, so the higher price makes more sense to me for the area compared to other restaurants.🍹 I recommend the edemame, kimchi cucumber, sushi burrito, pad Thai, Thai curry, pad kee mao, and nasi goreng

Husband and I are from Florida and make it a point to visit each trip to Chicago. Easy access from the city on the red linr. He has celiac disease and has not had any problems. We love the variety and quality of the dishes. The service has always been excellent. Thoroughly enjoy our visits to Tapas Valencia!

Great atmosphere and the food was delicious. My friend was celebrating his birthday and he absolutely enjoyed his steak! I like that there are gluten-free options as well. Our waiter brought my friend a delicious piece of tiramisu with a candle in it. He said his steak was the best he had tasted. I have taken colleagues here for lunch and had great compliments on the food.

Unfortunately, I dislike my experience. I had the Nonna Gravy. Honestly, I thought the dish lack soul. The sauce felt rush and the meat could have been more tender. I literally had a stomach ache. My delivery side note was not taken serious at all. I politely ask for a side salad instead of rigatoni because I'm gluten free. I was given a side salad plus garlic bread. Not cool.

The food was fresh and tasty-and the order came out quick. The seating area is limited, so you may get split up if you have a few people. I have Celiac and was able to have a safe meal of steak tacos, beans and rice.

Best coffees & teas in Chicago. We try other places but keep coming back---we have been loyal customers for over five years now. We buy our whole beans here too! Overflow's coffee turned my husband and me into coffee snobs! Also there are great food options for gluten free, dairy & soy sensitive folks.

Incredible sushi and service! BYOB! Waitress was so friendly and attentive. We visited the fist time in March (2022) and are here again tonight (April 2022). They have gluten free soy sauce and are very accommodating with special requests (like removing crunch or bonito flakes).

My girlfriend and I go here all the time. We love to the harbor to listen to the blues musicians they have perform there. Food is great and they have gluten free options for my girlfriend!

The outdoor patio is spectacular. Lots of seating. Kid friendly. We got the gluten free pizza crust and it was crispy and delicious - hard to find.
