Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots for Outdoor Dining in Carmel

A great place to get small plates! We came here to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday and it’s such a cozy restaurant to escape the cold in during this time of the year. I thought the fireplace on tv was a cute touch. I highly recommend ordering the Chef’s Tour Boards. There’s more of a cohesion of flavors and the items are partnered well in the pre-set menu. We ordered the Vegetarian Board, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The blistered brussel sprouts was the star of the meal for us! It was crisp and flavored so well. We also ordered an assortment of small dishes to share such as the deviled eggs, savory shrooms (a favorite of mine), lobster quesadilla, ahi tacos, little lambs, pork belly bites, and few more items. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, service was great, and I always appreciate a menu with a legend for dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan dishes.

Jessica Schlimgen

My family and I have been coming here a few years now when in the area. Every time the quality is amazing! Freshly made pizzas, offers BYO gluten/dairy free options, good portions, and fairly priced! Service is also amazing always quick n friendly! Asked for extra aloi on my shitakii pie and they delivered! (Top was almost covered in it) wish one was closer to me! Will continue to eat here when i can!

Heather Slagle

The owner/chef takes great pride in serving excellent cuisine. He explained his dishes to us, and made us feel so welcome. Great gluten-free selection as well. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Nicole Elam

Fast and tasty! My son and I had a ham and pineapple pizza with vegan cheese on the vegan gluten free crust and it was delicious! The rest of the family had traditional pizzas and said they were also tasty!!

Devin V.

Great Gluten Free options including beer! I’m a fan!

Audrey Doerner

Our experience here was fantastic. The food was equally fantastic.I love that this place offers allergy options such as gluten free and accommodates other allergies. They offer something for vegans too

Great atmosphere and a good selection of gluten free items. I have celiac and appreciate a great experience and a safe meal! Thank you!

Krunal Shah

A different kind of Mexican food! Loved it! The vegetarian tacos and bowl were the best I ever had. Nice blend of sweet and spicy. Availability of gluten free option makes it more special. Plenty of sitting area. Only street parking. Quick service and friendly staff.

The Cake Bake Shop had been suggested to me by several friends and I was excited to try them out. I will likely be a repeat customer. However, I am not likely to be a regular for several reasons. My 360 evaluation below. The very good: the atmosphere is delightful. The outside and inside of the store are clean and bright while still being warm and inviting. The constumes the staff wear are pretty, immaculate and enhance the environment. I totally see from a visual perspective why this shop is opening a branch in Disney. It feels more like an experience and less like retail. Also there is staff to greet you and ample service staff in the shop to give eaxh customer 1 on 1 attention. Also good: the lemon, raspbery and magic bars are some of the best I have had. They are beautiful, the pacagung is lovely, and the taste, quality and size are what you want them to be at that price point. Honorable mention to the macarons. While a bit high in price for the size of the cookie they are super yummy and again lovely visually. The not great: I live in Kokom and our local cake shop J Edwards has both a substanially better selection, and comparably as delicious and in some cases more delicious set of Gluten Free offferings. I hink the store is beautiful and every item was beautiful and came in lovely packaging...but not worth it for me at twice the price or higher for less delicious. That said, all their GF stuff was more beautifully presented and packaged than our local place. Also, while the boxes and bags were beautiful the care in packaging was not as good as my local shop. Some of my items were squished, or otherwise the worse for ware in transit which was simply a 40 minute car ride...no bumpy back roads or anything. Thwt strikes me as a customer service oversight. Also the side seam on the paper bags for bakery items splits super easy making the bags pretty but not very functional. The boxes were sturdy though. Also not great: I asked to buy an Italian cream soda while I was browsing. They looked like they did not know what this was. So I said, it is just soda or sparkeling water with flavor syrup and a splash of cream. They said they could not do this. Literally on the other side of the wall was a bar area and behind the bakery counter an espresso maker and a bunch of flavor syrups. They had everything on hand to accomodate my request but refused. They were polite but again when paying a premium one does anticipate premium and accomodating service. Also not great: out of my large order two items were missing. When I called, they took my transaction info checked it. After checking the order info they offered an apology agreed to refund the price of the misssing items. I did mention that I live about 40 minutes away. There was no offer to make up for their error past a refund for items not included. No can we mail you the missing irems can we comp you on your next visit...nothing. This rubbed me the wrong way...perhaps this is standard, but I did not like this way of doing business. When I fidt got there I expressed interest in buying a whole cake. Despite numerous whole cakes being abailablein the display they said that I had to order 48 hours in advance. But Iwas informed I could buy up to 5 slicea of each cake at the higher slice rate. I was not impressed. In conclusion...if you want an experience this is a great place to dine in. If you want amazing bars eat in or take out, also highly reccomend. If you are hosting an in home event and the beauty of the cake is of primary importance. More than that, if you are willing to pay a premium just for prettty. I mean beautiful i ternal layering and the whole nine, this is the place to buy. If you want a tasty cake to treat you family, your local, less swaky option is likely to taste just as good in the whole cake department. Although to be fair I have not tried all their cakes...there may be exceptional highlights in there. But the black and white GF cake was only ok tasting.

Megan Landry

I came into town for work and knew I could find gluten free options at cafe patachou. Loved the gluten free avocado toast! Service was quick and friendly.

Susan Magna

BEST … absolute best GLUTEN free crust ever! And they have dough to go…. Great atmosphere and staff is super friendly!

Zoey Kinomora

Don't know what happened, this place use to be great, maybe it was an off-day but my experience was terrible today. The waiter forgot to put in our coffee, we weren't served water, food came out with nothing to drink. My gluten free toast was stale and as hard as a cracker, my extra hollandaise was missing, the coffee was either burnt or had sour milk. The food came out tepid at best. Hopefully it was just a bad day, but wow. What a fall from grace if this is the new norm.

Doug Busch

Wonderful and very yummy gluten free food and wonderful staff

Eamonn McCann

Best 🍕 (Dr. Jones & Grandma's Money) is & a gluten free w goat cheese option for my mother. I have not seen her face light up like that in a long for what looks like normal 🍕 but special for Mom! The 🍻 selection is delicious!! Ryan, our server kicked arse! We shall be back!

Nicole Compton

Visited for the first time in honor of my birthday, and Prime 47 did not disappoint! Prime 47 has been on my bucket list, and it quickly moved to the top after viewing the menu and seeing the plethora of gluten-free options. My sister and I had the Ahi Tuna and Waygu Beef Tenderloin with Wasabi mashed potatoes and Asparagus with hollandaise sauce, which was absolutely amazing. The gluten-free chocolate molten lava cake was rich, decadent, and a true experience!

Andy Andersen

Tasty! Great options for celiacs who need Gluten Free.

Janique Robinson

We had a fantastic dinner here! Our waitress, Katy, was excellent. She was able to tell me all the gluten-free options on the menu. The menu had so many good options it was hard to decide! The atmosphere was great as well. I would definitely recommend trying this place out!

Lauren D

We love Just Love! The food and drinks are great and the atmosphere is very welcoming. They have plenty of gluten free options too!

Michelle Gahimer

Jack was fantastic and made my food gluten free per my request

Brian Gooch

My favorite brunch spot in Indy. The omelette and cinnamon toast never disappoint. Also very celiac friendly for my wife (including good GF toast).

Cassandra Uhl

We’re done with pizza. We are a calzone family now. This place is amazing. The staff is super helpful and friendly. All our food was delicious. The gluten free calzone dough is INCREDIBLE. Great selection of craft soda on tap. We will be back again and again.

Chuck Schwarz

A nice place to grab a delicious lunch. Clean, quick service, friendly staff, excellent selection of dishes on the menu, and it was nice to see a few gluten-free and dairy-free options were available.

On a sunny morning on May 7th I came into Rosie's Carmel based on a recommendation of their delicious gluten free options. Joy! As the gentlemen in front of me was being sat up front, after being asked if he wanted to sit at the counter or table. A blonde middle aged server acknowledged me and didn't offer me a table option. I was quickly escorted to the very back of the establishment up against a wall facing the kitchen. Which I now realize was the worst seat in the place. She turned and left with barely a word. As the realization washed over me. It was a weekday, so lots of great open seating options. ALL of the other customers were up front. Coming from Hawaii, I understand I live in a bubble of kindness and diversity. And, for the first time in over 50 years of sheltered life, I realized what this felt like. As a strong independent women, I thought I would be able to handle being treated like I was less of a person. I would like to say I was strong. But, I wasn't. I decided to leave, and politely said I had changed my mind. The blonde middle aged lady just said "okay" with a don't let the door hit you on the way out attitude. As a broken women for the day, I ended up at Caffe Buondi. They sat me next to a friendly man with a barbell mustache. We had a conversation and he remarked how I had ordered his favorite, a Monica (Vegetarian) Frittata, served in a cast iron skillet. You see he goes there twice a week, so he knows his stuff. I also had great service at RiZE Carmel, they have a great Veggie Omelette, that comes with their house salad, highly recommend!

Samantha Hendrian

Absolutely phenomenal service. Our server, Bryce, was so awesome when our toddler lost it like as soon as we were seated because he was ready for dinner. Bryce had the kitchen put in an order of fries before him to snack on while we looked at the menu, and was generally very attentive without being overbearing. He also knew immediately what kind of oil the kitchen used to fry things in and which menu items had gluten in them. I was super impressed

Dianna Locke

Had gluten free pizza last night and it was delicious!

Patricia Johnston

An item on the menu was denoted as gluten free and it was not, resulting in severe illness due to celiac disease. When the restaurant was called and notified, they said the GF next to the item was actually only referring to a footnote indicating that options were available. I told the manager that the GF next to an item usually means that it is gluten free at every restaurant in which I have ever dined. I also stated that this confusion resulted in illness and that the menu should be clarified immediately. I will not be dining here again due to their laissez faire attitude toward this serious issue.

Drew Segovis

This was a great breakfast/lunch place that we'd never heard of. We actually ended up eating here 2 days in a row. The food choices overall are good, and there should be something for everyone. The food itself was really good both trips. My one complaint would be that my omelet the first day was a little dry or overcooked but other than that everything else was spot on. Plus this is one of the first breakfast places ive been that actually had gluten free toast. Everyone in our party seemed satisfied and no one was left hungry.

Christy Jennings

This place was very busy for a Friday night.. The food was served warm, yet the portion sizes were smaller than expected. Our dinner group had spaghetti and they noted that the marina sauce was on the sweeter end. I had the gluten-free corkscrew noodles were made of white rice. They didn't hold up well to the alfredo sauce. The location was great and we were able to park in the parking garage located behind the restaurant. Very convenient!

Olivia Gentilcore

The bread sticks are to die for (flaky and airy and crisp but not dry) and the pizza crust is vegan (available gluten free)

David Perez

Cheyanne Mergenthaler

Amazing food! Our server was incredible, I have a gluten allergy and she went above and beyond to check which tacos were gluten free since it didn’t list out on the menu.

Sophia Williams

The gluten free bread for sandwiches is AMAZING! I usually get the California Turkey with a smoothie and it’s always so good.

Kristopher Good

Candied Bacon Whiskey Buger w/o bun AKA Gluten free Celiac friendly

Leah Kirk

So delicious and left full. The service was quick and server was nice. Immediately upon arrival she gave us soup and it was great! They put their rice in a heart shape for us. Super cute! I loved everything I ate and didn't have to worry about gluten or dairy.

Angela Knoph

Was able to swap out sides for gluten free options

Denise D

As someone with Celiac disease, eating out is always a challenge. Our server, Chris, went ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure I had a meal that was safe. I ordered the Flight of Beef and the asparagus as my side. When I went to order the Wedge Salad, he cautioned that I would have to leave the crispy onions off as they were both breaded and fried in a shared fryer. We were with a larger group, and Chris made sure to place the items that were not safe on the other end of the table. They even had gluten free bread for me! The wine list is extensive and amazing. We will def be back. That you for making this night out truly memorable!

Sydney G

Thai & Go has a wonderful and very friendly atmosphere. While we usually call in for takeout, we’ve dined in, and the service is so friendly and welcoming. They were also very cognizant of allergies and were able to accommodate dishes for gluten and soy allergies.

Open World Media

Great experience. The staff is extremely attentive. Pleasant environment. Ample parking. Plenty of healthy and gluten free options to choose from. We had parfait and frittata. Server was at our table when needed. Excellent selection of teas. Located on the plaza with Market District. Definitely worth a visit. I will be coming back for more.

Maria Jose Roca Cedeño

One of my favorite pizzas in Carmel, its fresh and good quality ingredients and the best thing is that they have gluten free options.

Tim Kingsbury

Outdoor Patio on a Sunday Morning = prime choice of place to sit, kind service, and gluten-free Native Bread

Zoey Kinomora

Rachael went above and beyond to be helpful and was very kind, she went over the ingredients used in every sauce to make sure I was able to order something gluten free. The wings are crispy and the Hot Garlic and Sweet Garlic sauce were amazing! The 3 "Asian inspired" sauces all use soy sauce, which likely has wheat. They thicken them with cornstarch however. All wings are fried in a shared fryer.

owen delgado

Amazing restaurant with a wide variety of options. Even people with gluten free or dietary restrictions. Vegan options and for the meat lovers. Great atmosphere great service and good for business parties etc.

Dallas Monk

We came to Savor to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We had never even been before and decided to give it a try and could not have been more pleased. Everything from the atmosphere, the drinks, the food and the service was fantastic. Becca our server took great care of us and made sure to accommodate well to my wife gluten allergy. Can’t recommend Savor enough.

Stephen Ogden

Really nice restaurant, excellent smash burgers and fries! They even made my burger as a lettuce wrap burger to accommodate my gluten allergy. Highly recommended!

Chris Miller

Celiac friendly. I told the young man that I had Celiac and couldn’t eat gluten. He immediately removed his gloves, washed his hands and put on fresh gloves. He told me what I could eat, and when I chose my foods, he gave me everything out of fresh, unopened bins with clean spoons. He could not have been more kind or knowledgeable about gluten. Everything was delicious and I had no side effects. Highly recommend!

Pamelia Sublett

Memphis is absolutely wonderful! He made me grilled chicken since I’m gluten free. Love him! Love Hot Boys!

Valerie Wright

I emailed 3UP to see if they would accommodate my need for gluten free as I have celiac. I was absolutely floored by their prompt and courteous response... Not only did they say they would accommodate my dietary needs... But the chef made my meal special by adapting one of the menu items. We were welcomed from the moment we arrived and it felt like home away from home. The wait staff were all extremely kind and attentive. The manager, Phil, was the one responding to me via email... He stopped by our table to ensure we had everything we needed. Excellent food. Top notch service. We will definitely be back!

Micah Moore

Calming environment, top-tier service, and super delicious foods! All the salads are gluten -friendly and delicious! Especially when Wesley is around!

Kady Ellison

I ate at Vivante over the weekend, and it was wonderful! My party had a reservation outside, but when we arrived our table wasn't quiiite ready. Fortunately, we were able to order drinks and appetizers in the beautiful lobby while we waited. We had a couple folks with special dietary needs (dairy free, gluten free), and everyone was super accommodating. The cocktails were tasty, the food was filling with a variety of options, and the servers were attentive. Zach and Nash took care of us and were personable, efficient, and knowledgeable. We'll definitely be returning!
