Gluten free pizza was phenomenal, one of the best I have ever had!!

Julia K

The food was fantastic. We ordered 2 different crepes but with buckwheat as one of us have celiacs. They took the allergy seriously which was much appreciated and the food was much better than we expected considering they were suing buckwheat as the alternative. Will definitely be eating here again when we visit. Loved that they are open a little late so when you’re in more of a breakfast for dinner mood they have options available.

Jessie Whiting

This place was great. Awesome gluten free options. The food and ciders were really good!

Claire Michaud

Gluten free menu. Fantastic food & service

Janna Trevers-Meyer

I was there 20 years ago and I remembered the mock eel. It was still amazing, even better than before. I don't know how they get mushrooms to taste that good. We also got shrimp lo mein and double garlic broccoli with cashews and for extra protein they added tofu for me. Everything was outstanding. Seriously, one of the best meals I've ever had (and I'm a tough critic). Our server (Cal?) was knowledgeable and personable and attentive. They were able to accommodate my gluten and dairy free restrictions without any fuss at all. We live in NY, but if we're back in Burlington, we will come back without question.

This place is a treasure. Family owned and run, fantastic food at fair prices. The soup broths are all first rate. They are very gluten free friendly. My son has celiac and has enjoyed the food here several times.

Niyeti Shah

This place is heaven, for meat and non meat eaters! Im celiac and vegan and they took SUCH amazing care of us - M and Kaleb are so kind and wonderful, weve come back three times in ten days. We could not recommend more!!!

After our delightful first visit, my wife and I knew we had to come back to Istanbul Kebab House for a proper meal. Last week, we decided to turn our date night into something special with dinner at this Turkish gem followed by a Broadway musical, Newsies, at the Flynn Center. We made a reservation in advance, as this spot is quite popular in the evenings - especially when there's a play happening nearby. The ambiance was inviting and warm, with soft lighting and traditional Turkish decor creating a perfect setting for a romantic evening. The service was exceptional, and our server, Alexandra B., made the experience even more memorable with his attentiveness and friendly demeanor. We started with the Small Meze Platter ($16.99), an excellent choice for sharing. The platter featured haydari, hummus, babaganoush, Turkish salsa, and stuffed grape leaves, all served with soft lavash bread. For those seeking a gluten-free option, fresh-cut veggie sticks are available. Each dip and spread was bursting with flavor, making this a must-try appetizer. For the main course, I chose from the Earthenware Casseroles and ordered the Lamb Guvec ($27.99). The tender, marinated lamb pieces combined with tomato, mushroom, onion, pepper, and eggplant were served sizzling hot, and the aroma alone was irresistible. It was hearty, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the recommended 9oz glass of Vinkara red wine ($16.50). My wife selected the Chicken Adana Kebab ($22.99) from the Traditional Kebabs menu. The mildly spicy, hand-ground chicken seasoned with Turkish maraş pepper and parsley was grilled to perfection and served with Turkish rice pilav, a side of greens, house pickled red cabbage, and marinated onions. She enjoyed every bite and complemented her meal with a 9oz glass of Ancyra white wine ($16.50), which was light and refreshing. To close the evening, we indulged in a classic Turkish dessert, Baklava ($9.99). The layers of fresh phyllo, walnuts, and crushed pistachios, finished with a simple syrup, were the perfect sweet ending to our meal. Istanbul Kebab House continues to impress with its excellent food, cozy ambiance, and impeccable service. Whether it’s a casual dinner or a special occasion, this restaurant is a must-visit in Burlington. We’ll definitely be back again!

My Husband and I rarely go out to eat, but this restaurant is worth every penny. Very knowledgeable servers who offer recommendations for every food allergy (I have Celiac- plenty of options). The food is incredible and comes in smaller shareable dishes. Make sure you order the Tahini Sundae to top off your experience, you won’t regret it!!

Candy Kavanagh

Kudos Bluebird! Gluten free wings and ribs for the WIN! Our grandson has many allergies and dining out can be very challenging. Having these delicious finger foods was fun for the whole family to enjoy. The service was exceptional and such a cozy atmosphere! Looking forward to our next visit!

Kate Gregory

BKK is absolutely wonderful. The drinks are incredible, and Jenny (one of the co-owners) is always coming up with new delicious drinks to try. The food is also incredible, and as someone with Celiac, the food options are excellent and Bobby (the other co-owner) knows exactly which dishes are safe for me to eat. Would recommend to anyone who would listen.

Paul Gagne

We ordered the gluten free pizza. I clearly stated that it should be moderately cooked. It was received overcooked: the bacon and bottom crust were blacken. Regardless of my specific request, the pizza should not have been served... it is a shame since the atmosphere is respectable

Philip Yazbak

Fantastic Cuban food and it is such a unique dining experience for a place like Burlington. We made a reservation and it was a fairly busy Thursday night. The wait staff were knowledgeable and kind. It was a fairly large menu with lots of options. The water glasses were tiny. I would guess somewhere between 4 and 6 fluid ounces. We ordered the three chips app to start. Could tell it was house made and it was fresh and delicious but it was very small little pieces that made it harder to enjoy. We ordered the Creole shrimp with Maduros and tostones with yellow rice. The savory plantains and the sweet plantains are one of my favorite dishes and such a rare occasion allows for me to have them. These plantains did not disappoint and were cooked to perfection. The sauce on the shrimp was incredible and the rice, shrimp and sauce combo was a flavor paradise. We also got the vegan Cubano which was a little disappointing. Still we are very glad to see vegan options at all but it wasn't anything special. The menu said vegan Cubano sandwich but the default bread was not vegan (at least according to our waitress). To make it vegan you needed to ask for this other bread that they had that was also gluten free. So it was an extra 2 dollars to make the "vegan" sandwich actually vegan. Nonetheless the dinner experience was great as was the food and atomosphere. We will definitely return although it may be some time as the prices are on the higher end. If you enjoy Cuban food it is a place you should certainly try.

Rosanne Desjardins

Great server and knew exactly what we couldn’t have with a gluten allergy.

Rachel Wagner Lemblé

So many specialty options - vegan, gluten-free and vegetarian. Their bread was as delicious as Mom's homemade loaf. Perfection.

Samara Densmore

Excellent cappuccinos. They have oat milk and soy milk for non-dairy options. Breakfast burrito is good, but a little small. No gluten free menu.

Courtney Antoci

Very delicious food! My group and I stumbled upon this gem by chance, and we’re so glad we did. The staff members were knowledgeable about the menu and assisted the vegan and gluten free guests, making wonderful accommodations. Our gluten free friend LOVED the Chicken Korma. We were all able to dine with confidence , knowing there was something special for everyone to enjoy. We will definitely be dining here again!

Ellie Dombrowski

The vegan poutine is fantastic! Good vegan and gluten free options!

Tim Curtin

My favorite gluten free crust in town! Made by them, great mix of crispy edges and bottom, with some soft/chew in the middle.

Miss Joy's Art Room

We tried 6 different items and shared, family style. They were they were all phenomenal!! The smorgasbord of vegan & gluten free items were amazing! With many food sensitivities & allergies, I cannot often enjoy unique cuisine like a real “foodie” & we were all wowed by the creativity & ingenuity of Chef Paul. It was super busy, so Paul pulled up tables & made more space. We sat in the window & It was like being transported to Parkslope, Brooklyn in Burlington’s Old North End. Ending the night with a blueberry vegan creemee was the most delicious surprise!

Evelyn Baltodano-Sheehan

Delicious homemade pasta. Both my hard-to-please teens loved it. And my gluten free pasta was also delicious. Priced very reasonably and excellent service. Can’t wait to go back

Jason Storer

Multiple tasty gluten free vegan options! Amazing!

Rachel Bilodeau

Amazing healthy food restaurant. They have lots of gluten-free choices and they all taste amazing. And the drinks rock too! Thank you so much for the great food guys!

Angela Kelley

Cool coffee shop! Very chill, thrifty, hippy, nifty vibes. Free wifi, so some people had their laptops. So happy they had some gluten-free baked goods available as I needed a little snack with my latte! It was yum! Hubby and I sat and enjoyed our time. Bathroom could've been cleaner but the place was busy and only 2 workers, so I get it.

Walda Chesnut

Gorgeous presentation, lovely food, excellent service, & nice of the chef to stop by our table to say hello. Prix Fixe menu had a lot of wonderful options including gluten free dishes available.

Sarahfina Wipf

Poutine, speciality Gose and some of their IPA’s were fantastic! Service great, it is odd that they charge you 25¢ for a taster, and don’t let you pick your own flights. Their pre-set flights are very expensive. No gluten free beer options. Gender neutral bathrooms and plenty of parking.

Elissa B

This place is an absolute delight. Went in on a bitterly cold Saturday night and was sat right away (which makes me sad because I wish they were busier). The prices are soooooo reasonable! I ordered veg pakora and chicken tikka masala and my dinner came out to $25 with a drink. My friend tried the tandoori chicken which was so unbelievably good. The servers were so friendly, and were knowledgeable about food allergies (gluten specifically) which made me feel safe about eating there. I’d say eating in is the better option, I’d ordered takeout from here before and forgot that I had done so lol but the dine-in food fresh and hot knocked my socks off. Can’t wait to go back.

Daniel Brun

Have been here several times, the menu does change somewhat for different events/ time of year, there’s a consistent offering that is always available so keep an eye out for those temporary offerings. The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff has always been very friendly and welcoming no matter if it’s packed or slow. This place can become packed so wait times for seating and service can suffer but the staff tries their best to accommodate, they are always willing to answer any questions or address any concerns. There are some limited gluten free accommodations. Lots of cheap public parking nearby, assortment of on street/off street and garages- look for the big blue P signs if you’re not using your google maps. Shout out to our server Oliva, that chocolate mousse was awesome, thanks again for the great service! 👏 👏 👏

Chris Oatway

Great place right on the water. Clam chowder was amazing. Had a nut and gluten allergy kid with us. Handled allergies very well. Would definitely go back there.

M M

This food was so good and they were able to accommodate my requests for gluten-free and dairy-free food. The dishes smelled incredible and I was delighted that they tasted even better! Spice level, salt level, and the whole bouquet of flavors was all very impressive and great. Delight is a great name for this place! Highly recommend.

Mikey

The polenta with pork belly is one of my favorite things I’ve had in town. Gluten free and huge portion!

Amanda L. McGowan

Libby

I loved the smoothies and gluten free baked goods. Lots of flavor and clean ingredients.

Patricia Dukes

Nikki Hanaburgh

The girl at the counter, checked to make sure every single item I had is gluten-free. She stopped and looked up every single one without me even asking.

Dennis Jones

The atmosphere is wonderful and they have a wide variety of delicious gluten-free choices on their menu.

Patti C

Fabulous delicious food & great service. Very fun place. VERY gluten free friendly.

Lauren Erickson

Having celiac disease greatly diminishes the amount of places where I can eat. Having gluten free options doesn’t always mean celiac friendly. I’ve eaten here several times with no issues! I just mention my restrictions when ordering and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure there is no cross-contamination. The food is delicious! I’m making my way through the menu that’s available to me, but I’m stuck on the Buddha boi (as a bowl, no wrap). The peanut sauce is so amazing and I crave it on a regular basis. Decent portions, friendly staff, fun atmosphere. Guy Fieri approved, too!!!

Kathryn

This is a hidden treasure! The coffee and smoothies are amazing. I let them know I am celiac and they washed the container for the smoothie I ordered. It hit the spot! Additionally, they were honest with me about the potential of cross contamination (so I wouldn't get sick). I didn't order any food, but it looked delicious. Can't wait to go back!

Maggie Fitzgerald

Definitely recommend this restaurant! The chef/owner works entirely alone, which is so impressive and such a unique experience! I can’t eat gluten so it was extra reassuring to be able to talk directly to the chef about what I could have — and there were tons of options! I had the seafood jumbalaya which was authentic, fresh and delicious. This chef really knows what he’s doing!

Bluekimchi Andrea

We ordered the stir fry chicken with fried rice. This comes with a small house salad and broth from Pho, either vegetable, chicken or pork. Next time I want to try the stir fry with noodles. We also ordered the super duper sushi rolls. The wait was longer than expected because I needed everything gluten free and they actually took the time to have that dedicated cooking. They forgot the sushi, and we had to go back for it. They made it right and even offered to deliver it. Despite this minor detail, I highly recommend Volcano VT! Thank you to the wife, and part owner, for verifying my pronunciation of wishing them a prosperous and healthy Chinese New Year in Mandarin.

Wendy Cannan

Trattoria Delia has been a staple restaurant in Burlington for years, and it's one of the best places to get some fancy, fresh, homemade pasta. The newer Pascolo gives it a run for its money, but I ultimately prefer the Tratt. I can't name a favorite dish because you can't go wrong with much here. I always go for whatever house-made pasta dish they're serving and I'm never disappointed. It is pricey, but worth it. The last time I visited (October 2022), the staff was very attentive and the waitress was great with listing specials and answering questions. She could immediately tell us which dishes contain gluten, and was quick to recommend a house red to drink with dinner.

Hannah Feldman

Great coffee shop on Church street! There's great Cafe drinks and a selection of food. They have gluten free bread available for their breakfast sandwiches. There is seating available inside and outside, but it is probably a bit busier on weekend though. Great clean space, helpful staff, good food, good drinks.

Anna CW

My husband and I were originally going to get take out, but when we walked in we liked the atmosphere so much that we decided to dine in and couldn’t have been happier! The service was awesome, the menu was extensive and had SO many gluten free options and the food was amazing! 10/10 will be back!

Brianna Spano

The food is amazing and it’s super cute inside. Great service as well. They also have vegan and gluten free options if needed. Highly recommend!

Annalise

Favorite bar in Burlington. Live jazz, fantastic cocktails, cozy booths. This place has everything you could want and more. They also have a few gluten free options for lighter fare.
