Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Louisiana

Ester Martinez

Egg, sausage, fruit and English muffin was delicious!

Tucked in the farmers market is Holy Crepes! A fabulous find while on our NO adventure. Great choice of savory and sweet (gluten free is an option). We went sweet with Elvis and Pralines both were delicious! Take the trolly down Canal to this hidden gem.

Krystal Mlady

I really enjoyed the food here and was so grateful to find a place that had a lot of gluten free options. I was able to try gumbo and gf beignets (calas) and they were very delicious 😊 the service was also pretty quick and friendly.

Anthony Slaughter

The food was awesome! And Henry is the man! His recommendations were the selections that I went with and he took care of me with regard to my gluten allergy. I went with the red fish and it was so good. It was the perfect end to my 60th birthday celebration in the Big Easy.

Heather Gavrish

Busy on the weekends but great food and lots of gluten-free options with friendly service.

Erika Kinder

Food was amazing, service was alright, they have a Gluten free menu available and knowledgeable staff.

Ali Swiatkowski

As a vegetarian with Celiac Disease, I felt so comfortable ordering from their menu since everything is gluten free. Our food was delicious and the staff was extremely attentive. Prices were also bery reasonable. My husband who eats gluten and meat said his food was also phenomenal, so highly recommended for everyone!

Zoe' Stokes

Great place for someone with celiac, gluten intolerance or allergy. The GF onion rings were amazing! The service was slow, but there was only one person waiting on the entire restaurant and every table was full.

Mic Reich

Omg. This place was amazing. Great cocktails and an abundance of gf Snack/ bar menu options. Including fries, spicy kimchi fries, and wings that were all stunning. My group of 11 literally ordered dishes over and over again to share. The only dish bit be ordered multiple times? The one dish with gluten.

Gluten free pizza was lovely

First, the good: the food here is pretty excellent, at least for the entrées and appetizers that we ate. I would say that the entrées were the star of the show, and the appetizers we had were very good to good. The cocktails we had were average, there are plenty of other restaurants that have a better cocktail program based on what we had. The wine appears to be an excellent list, however, we only had one glass of wine. Second, the bad: unfortunately, the service situation detracted from our dining experience. Putting aside minor details like watching other tables seated after us receive their complementary bread before us and slight delays and taking our order, a bigger issue involves one of our parties request to not have any gluten in their food being treated way too casually. After it was asked and confirmed whether a certain dish did not have gluten in it, one member of our party ordered that dish. After it was served and in the middle of eating it, a member of the staff came up to clarify whether that party member had a gluten allergy or just a gluten intolerance. The member of our party only had a gluten intolerance, as it makes them somewhat ill for 24 hours after they have gluten. After confirming the nature of the intolerance, the staff member said nothing and walked away. Our server then returned and asked us if the other staff member had explained the issue about the dish, and we responded that he had not. The server then explained that the dish did have a component with gluten in it, after the dish I’ve been mostly eaten. The server then said that the dish would be comped on our bill, which it was not. In this day and age, a restaurant should take gluten allergies much more seriously. Their menu is totally silent on what dishes are gluten-free, so you have to ask. And when we did ask, we were given false information. Had the member of our party suffer from celiac, would’ve been a much more serious situation as opposed to a brief illness. Please keep this in mind when you choose to dine at this restaurant, as their staff does not appear to be trained to take the issue of gluten intolerance seriously. For example, at other restaurants in the city, the staff would make on the fly corrections to the menu to indicate what dishes were gluten-free , which I believe is now the standard for upscale dining.

This was my first time visiting this establishment, and I have to say my experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The service was warm and attentive, and the food? Simply amazing. Every dish had such bold, unique flavors, and I really appreciated the wide variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options on the menu. I ordered the Crab Scramble with vegan eggs, which was packed with flavor. I also got a side of the bison sausage it was my first time trying bison. While I personally prefer chicken or seafood over red meat, the sausage was still well-seasoned and tasty, with subtle notes of onion and bell pepper (not sure if that was intentional, but it worked!). My mom ordered the Shrimp and Grits, and I got to try a bite and wow. It was a flavor explosion. I've never tasted anything quite like it before rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. We all shared the Bananas Foster Pancakes, which were sweet but not overpowering, with a unique flavor that really stood out. I also tried their Iced Matcha Latte delicious and classic in taste. If you're looking for a traditional, less-sweet matcha, this is the one for you. My cousin ordered the Cat Daddy Biscuit, and once again great flavors, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was on point. My aunt went with the Bearcat Breakfast, a more traditional option, but she swapped in the bison sausage, and it paired beautifully with the eggs and potatoes. The only downside? Parking can be a bit tricky, and there might be a wait ours was about an hour. But trust me, it’s absolutely worth it. Next time I'm in New Orleans, I’ll be back without a doubt!

Thomas D. Pearce

Brian the server and young architect: My wife and I have worked in fine dining, Ruth's Chris and Brennan's, New Orleans; most servers find a way to irk me and disappoint. Brian's service was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and friendly without getting in the way of our date. Food: You can scarcely complain about any of the creole and New Orleans fusion served at Eliza; we have been loyal in particular for the gluten free fried seafood. For such a high quality place, however, I was disappointed to learn they are still using the industrial biproduct, "vegetable" oil, in their fryer instead of beef tallow or at least refined peanut oil (which does *not* cause allergic reactions). I selfishly hope Eliza's can commit to clean oils in their kitchen, so they can once again be our go-to for fried seafood and perfect destination to show out of town friends a refined but casual experience of excellent south Louisiana fare.

Gregory Anderson

Offers a few gluten free options. Normally excellent service, but this last time was meh. Food it pretty good.

matt scott

Ordered the burger, medium rare, and it was burnt. Order a gluten-free bun, which is normally good, but this one was so hard. I couldn’t bite into it. Ordered the chard cauliflower and it was barely cooked. Complete waste of money.

Josephine March

I have Celiac and almost every dish can be made gluten free. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The Kale and Beet salad was killer, and for dinner, I had the Arrabbiata with gf pasta, gulf shrimp, cherry tomatoes, capers and calabrian chili. I would love to have tried it with the squid ink pasta... damn gluten! Either way, it was truly amazing. The Panna Cotta with local strawberries and balsamic did not disappoint. Fabulous place, fun atmosphere, maybe a little loud. Overall I'd give 10/10.

Sam Kaufmann

Victoria recommends the steak tacos to her fellow gluten free eaters.

Tammy Denler

My mother is gluten intolerant, and this place has been a true blessing!

Caroline Trettin

I ordered the Vegan Lover Pizza, which I’ve gotten several times before, only to have a different employee tell me that it’s not actually vegan unless you order it with the gluten-free crust??? Wildly misleading! Apparently, the regular crust has butter in it. I am so thankful that other employee let me know. Sad and deceived.

Claudia English

Gluten free options were limited… three options or getting food grilled. Still unsure of how friendly it was as felt unwell after dinner.

Shyamal Pansuriya

This is a hole in the wall kinda place with excellent food and drinks but the wait the wait was lackluster! They have gluten free options!

Laura Foster

I am gluten free but the others with me were not. The charbroiled and raw oysters are amazing! And they're gluten-free except you have to ask for bread on the side. I probably did not order the right thing, but I had the grillled shrimp which were meh and the fries that were nice. for gluten full people, the beignets were a hit and also the gumbo and bisque

Kim Slone

Amazing and delicious!! Had plenty of vegan and gluten free options.

Erin Jett

This was an unexpected little gem to find in NOLA. I ran across it while scrambling for something quick to eat. I almost cried when they said they had GF crust! It was really good. A little tough (I had to double cut the slices because it wasn’t fully cut from the kitchen) and I was sawing at it a little) and gummy, but it was really a good pizza! I will definitely be back again this week!

Matthew Enderle

My wife has a gluten allergy and did not get sick here. When she eluded being allergic, Micah promptly gave her a special menu. She got the Goodnight burger as a bowl and I got the Doddy Melt. Both were delicious. When she wanted a side of ranch, Micah let her know it had jalapenos in it. She is NOT a spicy fan, but said it was delicious but hot. We saved this place in our "To Revisit" list and will be back for sure.

Erin Carriel

We wanted Fabulous local food and Sylvain’s did not disappoint! We had the Pappardelle Bolognese and Striped Bass which were both delicious, we also had the Fried Cauliflower which was a wonderful surprise!! Our server Chris was knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. They were able to accommodate my gluten free restrictions, including dessert…a coconut crème brûlée! The ambiance was intimate and beautiful, we loved everything about this restaurant and highly recommend it!

Tracy Franks-Blanchard

Definitely will be back to try some of the other entrees on the menu. The pork tamale was so tender, the birria and cheese enchiladas were perfection. Hubby recommends the Mexican Stir-fry with the protein trio of chicken, shrimp, and steak. I did steal a shrimp to check for myself. The grill on it made the flavor pop. They can cater to just about any restrictions too. They have keto, vegetarian, and gluten free menus. When you go, ask for Dallas. He delivers top notch service!

Kerri Lorigan

Outstanding GLUTEN-FREE fried chicken and salt and vinegar string fries. We sat ourselves in the semi-enclosed private room on the second floor, which was comfortable, allowed us to hear the live music and talk comfortably with one another. The cocktails were delightful and interesting!

Margaret N

Ordered 2 pizzas to be delivered and BOTH pizzas were wrong. They are very sorry and will not send correct pizzas or refund me. Meat lovers pizza had NO meat. Gluten free pizza may or may not have been gluten free as it was not labeled and looked like the other. Spent a fortune and cannot eat either one.

Tawnya Lehnen

My husband ordered a cup of gumbo and the combination platter. He bit into shell fragments twice. The bread was not very flavorful. To top it off he ended up with severe food poisoning. I’m celiac and ordered jambalaya from the gluten free menu and also ended up with diarrhea. Didn’t make a great impression seeing that it was our first time in Louisiana.

April C

We went here specifically for gluten free food. The owner was there and super friendly. We ordered gluten free fried green tomatoes, shrimp, crayfish, catfish, pickles, and fries. The coating/breading was light and airy. We were the only ones in the restaurant. It was a little awkward, quiet, and dark.

Kyla

Shrimp and grits was delicious! Good service, good food, celiac friendly options, outdoor seating options

Nick Hall

Great atmosphere, service and GF options. If you like pumpernickel the bread is for you here.

Michael Zegarski

Wonderful breakfast place. They have much gluten free as well (ya gotta use their online menu not the printed one). Went back a 2nd day because of Kelli and Trish. Great service...awesome breakfast! Yum 😋

Mindi Keith

Stopped in after work with a friend for a late lunch and had the best tuna salad sandwich *chefs kiss* My friend couldn’t stop raving about her food also. Server was fantastic and funny. Menu features gluten free options for those of us with dietary restrictions. Hope to go again!

Nick Ramirez

This place slaps. Gluten free injera! Delicious. Highly recommended.

Jackie Robinson

We’ve been going to Wildwood since they opened and we LOVE it. They’re our go to pizza place and they have the best gluten free crust anywhere I’ve been. We love their Porkys Revenge and Chicken Salad. My husband and I share and still have a couple of pieces tot take home.

Emily Stevens

Jenni was fantastic!!! Love the food here, and a lot of gluten free options!

James Snell

Oh dear. From outside, appears to be a very hip and with it addition to the B.R. restaurant scene as nurtured by the Perkins overpass locus. Interior reads of much the same, as though the quirky bric-a- brac interior design merchants of simulated culture eateries have cracked the hipster aesthetic a decade or two after the peak. Waitstaff with a knit beanie, another with a ever-so- carefully curled mustache; adorable. The menu is full of vegetarian and vegan and gluten free selections because OF COURSE IT IS. Words like "rustic" have been press- ganged into service for bread that is extremely not. I challenge new venues in southeastern Louisiana if they have the gusto to put something like shrimp creole on the menu. In this case, I led with some crab cakes. The side salad was the big winner of that course. The crab cakes were okay. Could have been more crab intensive for appetizer pricing. The shrimp creole had shrimp in it. I do not dispute that. But the creole was muted or missing entirely. It is possible that my expectations have been skewed by offerings by friends and family, but I feel confident in saying only the most timid or naive palate will endorse this dish completely. In all fairness, the green peas as a side were expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. A big plus for vegetables treated with respect. A great big star arrived to bump up the score here: the chocolate chunk cookie for a finisher was entirely legit. Definitely take a chance on a dessert if one strikes your fancy. Service was good. Interior ambiance is very improvisational restaurant furniture. The intentional lack of effort screams as loudly as possible: "We're a very hip and laid back eatery! We are a playful venue!" But the casual cool feels carefully posed. We visited on a Wednesday around early dinner time and I earnestly hope the sincere mediocre white guy with an acoustic guitar singing bloodless simulations of decades- old moderate rock was a one- time thing and the management recognizes their mistake and cancels that unnecessary intrusion that only distracts and detracts from what pleasantness there is to be had. I'm definitely up for another run at their menu in a few weeks or so. I suspect there are more gems to be found.

Jill Judy

Staff could not have been more pleasant. Wine menu was extensive with solid selections. Our mains were well made with fresh ingredients, unique flavors, and the menu took great care to provide top-notch options for vegans and gluten intolerant folks. While I’m not vegan, the chocolate vegan ice cream was incredibly decadent and delicious. The website pictures made me think seating was communal; it is not. We wish we could move this gem to our town.

Gabe Szymarek

It was a busy morning and they said they couldn’t really handle the volume of people so cross contamination was difficult. I had the frittata (I knew I shouldn’t have) and got absolutely smacked by gluten. I’m sure this place is safe for gluten intolerances or allergies, I’d be cautious with celiac.

Deborah Sarver

We were greeted warmly when we entered and our order was taken promptly. We found a table in a clean warm dining area. Our salad was fresh and delicious. When our pizzas arrived, they were piping hot and just as we ordered. They had a crunchy thin crust and were not charred or over cooked. The gluten free cauliflower crust was really good. We will be back again. Only negative comment is that we weren’t asked if we had their rewards program. We ordered 30.00 worth of pizza and only found out about the rewards when we went to the takeout to order another salad to go.

Emily Bell-Drivon

P.F. Changs was able to accommodate my gluten-free diet prior to closing at 11 one night! They even apologized for the wait and asked to top off my to-go Mr. Pibb! Way to go! I love it! Not to mention they put certified gluten-free soy sauce in the bag! As someone who was working from noon to almost 10 myself I really appreciate the service.

rachel milstein

We highly recommend this cute eatery. They know good eats. Elevated fast casual dishes. Delicious baked goods. Great coffee and matcha. Options for all including someone gluten free. Options to eat on the healthier side but kept the comfort food feel.

Amy C

We were passing through on a road trip and needed something relatively quick so we could keep moving. I called in our order as we were driving. The employee who answered was very friendly and quick, and we were told our order would be ready in about 20 minutes. It turned out to be about 30 minutes, but the pizza was hot & delicious. We ordered a 14" Gluten-Free pizza with extra cheese. They were very generous with the cheese (a big plus for me since eating GF usually leaves a bit to be desired...and cheese makes everything better!). Also, for those who don't know, gluten-free pizza crusts are usually only 10" - 12", so it was nice to find one that was a better size...and big enough that the 3 of us could split it. I am disappointed to have found such a great place that is nowhere near where we live. However, if we are ever passing through again, we will definitely stop.

Mitzi Starkweather

What a beautiful, delicious, cozy experience. The shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and they have gluten free options noted on the menu! The staff was kind and welcoming and gave us space but served us well. We we will definitely be back!

Charles Kuney

Been coming to Nola for Mardi Gras for the past three years running, and never miss a chance to eat at Another Broken Egg. Food is great, awesome gluten-friendly selection for us gluten-sensitive folk! Ask for Jenny!!

Michael Bogdan

We mainly go for the pizza and beer, but they have lots of other menu items as well. Gluten free and vegan options are available.

Bianca Varela

Best experience! First time visiting Nola and we are here 3 days in a row 🤤 And they have a gluten free option on the menu 🤩

Brandi Miller

This is a 100% dedicated gluten free restaurant with arguably the best food, whether you are eating gluten free or not. Their menu clearly states everything used is gluten free, which if you have Celiac, you know the appreciation for that alone. If you’re in the area, take the time to make a stop here…you won’t regret it! It is a sit down, nicer restaurant so take that into account. Ordering to-go might be an option if you are looking to get back on the road when traveling through. They also sell jars of their green and red salsa…worth buying to take along!
