Top 50 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots Across Connecticut

Chronically Coupy

Always a great experience. Surreal to go into a bakery & not have to mention gluten or Celiac at all. No matter what time of day it is - I grab a fresh bacon, egg, & cheese on an english muffin - with a cinnamon bun to take home. 10/10 highly recommend. Willing to drive over 30 minutes to visit.

Paul Newman

Great gluten free options and impressed by the precautions taken to avoid cross contamination. GF buffalo chicken tenders were delicious!

Janeen Minguillo

Great knowledgeable staff, excellent service!! Thank you for making me right at home and offer suggestions and quick polite and friendly service!

So exciting to go to a restaurant where I was able to eat almost everything the menu. Server was incredibly knowledgeable about Celiac. The best part is that they have a dedicated fryer!

Adam Demaral

Perfect spot for a Celiac to have breakfast! Need to open a franchise in Hudson, MA!

Taryn

If you are in need of vegan or gluten free options that actually taste great, this is the spot for you!

Son recently became gluten free and was looking for restaurant in the area that had some choices. We had BLT's and sweet potato fries. They were fantastic and would never know bread was GF. Fantastic customer service! Inside seating was very clean with a welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely come again when back in this area!

Martha Rogers

Our favorite GLUTEN FREE place to eat. There is a menu just for GF. Never disappointed with the food.

Mark Valcarcel

👋, thank you so much for the information about gluten free, but couldn't taste it the onion and bacon was FANTASTIC...see you later... EZ

Erica Weiner

Delicious arepas, gluten free for those who may need it. Helpful counter service.

Greg Roberge

this is my second visit there and everything was just as delicious as it was the first time. The service is impeccable. Drinks are creative and well crafted. Lots of gluten free options and Bespoke small plates worth checking out. Definitely try the Fried Mozz!

Stephanie Amoroso

Rio Salado has great food and much of it is gluten free. The chips are made in a dedicated fryer. My daughter has celiac and traveling is always stressful but not this time!

Scott Bianco

This is an outstanding little place with great service and amazing gluten-free options with nice cocktails

J Poulin

First off let me just say this place isn't gluten free not if your partner especially needs gluten free items and eats here and gets sick don't eat here if you need gluten free items I will say another thing yesterday when we were here I got the shrimp and grits which came out cold could care less about the shrimp but the grits being cold come on now then the whole meal smelling like pure fish NOPE didn't sit well I got sick afterwards overall it's a nice restaurant they don't care how you dress they are friendly but please make sure your food is gluten free when someone has allergies to food and got hives and got sick when that is the only thing they ate from here and the menu states gluten free would give better stars but not when people get sick

Stephanie Hayes

This place is fantastic for the gluten free community! It is a completely gluten free restaurant and the food was delicious! They make their own tortillas and we had the churros and fried ice cream for dessert and it brought me back to my childhood. My husband and I loved this restaurant and would make the hour drive to eat there again. The chef/ owner came out and shared a little bit about the restaurant with us. Great date night!

Sharon

No longer dedicated GF. They assured me it would be safe with no CC, but I got nervous while we were waiting for our food and decided to check updated reviews on find me gluten free. Saw new reviews that mentioned people getting sick, and I decided that I just couldn't risk it. Too late to cancel my order, so my husband will eat it. Very disappointing. Go back to 100% gluten free!

Jen F

I love that this restaurant has gluten free options and takes allergies seriously! I wasn't thrilled with the service tho. My husband and I made a reservation Friday evening for a date. I picked on open table a standard table, assuming that's in the dining area not the bar. When we arrived, they were busy and it appeared they ran out of tables so they seated us at one the extended tables from the bar. I wasn't happy with the experience there, although the bartender took our orders quickly and was friendly, no one ever came back to check on us. I had a request for extra sauce but no one came by. I would have rather waited for a table than be seated at the bar, because you don't make a reservation to just sit at the bar.

Maria Corina

A lovely gentleman took care of us, excellent customer service. The food was delicious, my mother has celiac and other food intolerances, she had plenty of options to choose from. I had their prosciutto panini, it was yummy. Highly recommend!

Jewel Okwuosa

I love this place! Exceptional gluten free pizza. I love that the gluten free pizza isn’t too small. It’s a good size to share or greedily eat yourself as well. I love that I can have any pizza on the menu and make it gluten free. The industrial design with a touch of elegance is a great addition to the ambiance. Waiters are professional and provide good service

Bree

Tried this place the other day - super tasty and clean food! Love that everything is vegan, gluten free, and I think most of it (or all?) is organic. I’d be back frequently, but I live over 2 hours away. I wish I lived closer or that there was healthier restaurants like this near me. I will absolutely stop by again if in the area. I will say it was on the pricey end for me (we got a taco bowl, a sandwich, 3 beverages, and a mini muffin for $60), but I’m not from the area nor do I usually spend that much eating out, including at plant-based places local to me. If you’re from Ridgefield or surrounding areas you might not find it expensive, though… it’s all relative. Plus, you’re getting top quality clean food.

TJ McGuckin

Food and service were fantastic. I got the breakfast burrito and added a hasbrown inside of it. The thing was massive and very good. All wait staff was very nice. Coffee was great too. Classic old school diner look and feel. Glad to see they have multiple Gluten Free options + sourdough bread too.

Jennifer Turpin

Always a favorite when visiting that area. The food is always great, and we leave with vegan/gluten free desserts that rival no vegan/gluten free bakeries.

Arielle Eighmy

Honestly, Bartaco is a place that has wonderful gluten free options. The service is always great even when it’s super busy. Dave S. is an amazing manager and always checks in on me and my boyfriend whenever we go. I highly recommend this place.

Tony Lupis

By far one of the best gluten free dining experiences my wife (celiac) and I have had!! Delicious food, great gluten free options, and awesome service!! Worth the trip!!

Bill Jameson

The gluten free options have us coming back all the time. Thank you.

Rowan Roshong

Great gluten free pizza!

Robb Dunn

What an AMAZING find! The family and I were up this way for a tour of Oakridge Dairy and this place was recommended by the dairy guide. I am so glad we stopped in. My son is gluten free and they had so many options for him. The baked goods looked and tasted delicious. We had lunch and every sandwich was so good and fresh! I even got some things to go to have the next day. I will definitely be coming back.

Rossmery Pesantez

During our 2nd visit tonight we had the garlic Parmesan wings and ordered two personal pizzas. There was a minor mistake in our order and the manager went above and beyond to make things right. We will definitely be coming back sooner rather than later. Definitely recommend going!!! And please don’t pass out on the garlic Parmesan wings!!! They also offer gluten free options!!!

Michelle Clarkson

I’m a super sensitive celiac and had zero reaction here. I cannot wait to go back!!

Claire Robertson

Beautiful place! Really good food including vegan options, gluten-free options, and mocktails. Charming atmosphere and extremely friendly staff.

Ryen Robinson

Always a great experience dining at Paperback. The staff is so kind and accommodating and the service is quick…plus they have delicious food, catering to various allergies. Love the gluten free pancakes!

Linda Holian

We ordered for an end of year gathering at our school. They helped us select our menu for 70 plus people which included gluten and vegetarian options. The food was amazing and the service was top notch. The owner delivered the food to our location and helped us set up. Serving spoons, plates, and condiments were included. My favorite was the sesame chicken and boneless spare ribs. Everyone raved about the food. Highly recommend!

Abby Gackenheimer

My family loves Famous Pizza. I especially appreciate the gluten free crust, which is definitely one of the best around. We had a slight hiccup the other day with our order and so I responded to their take out survey with the issue, and within an hour had a response and a credit to my account. Appreciate the response and the customer service, on top of excellent pizza!

Danielle Jenkins

We came here for Father’s Day after I heard they had gluten free and egg free options. My husband has a gluten allergy and my son has an egg allergy, which can make eating out challenging and sometimes more stressful than it is worth. However, that was not the case at The Tea Kettle our server was amazing and double checked everything. The tomato soup and grilled cheese were as good as they looked.

Deborah Haffner

Great place for breakfast! Such a welcoming atmosphere and wonderful morning specials! Terrific cheerful service and not a long wait for food or service. Love that there is a gluten free menu as well. Will be back!

Shari Ryan

Super cute place, lovely owners, great staff and delicious food and drinks. They also are great at handling Gluten Free needs. I love that I have options there.

Greg Shimer

Gluten free French toast!

Ashley P.I

The food was very good (although the French toast could use a bit more cinnamon and vanilla imo), also the hasbrown was literally the best I've had in a long time. Super crispy yet light! Overall it was a very nice restaurant and had a pleasant experience. The coffee is good and the staff was very friendly and accommodating with my dietary needs. They offer a decent variety of gluten-free food, including gf bread, and neither my mom nor I had a reaction (we're both celiac)! The portions are very generous as well!

Jason Pettrey

Great local restaurant with gluten-free options. Good beer, selection and nice chili. Had some live jazz music on Saturday night as we came through as well. Not college cheap, but the food was good quality. Definitely put on your list to check out.

Isabella

I’m so thrilled to have Ethiopian food nearby- in my opinion it is the most underrated cuisine in the West. Teff, used to make injera, is a gluten free grain that’s high in protein and vitamins. The cuisine is vegan friendly and uses so many incredible spices. The restaurant is beautiful, everyone is friendly, and the food is always fresh. Highly recommend the injera chips as an appetizer.

Jennifer Schneider

We found this place online before a road trip through the area, as they had gluten-free pizza crust and vegan cheese available for me. My pizza was amazing, as was my fiance's regular crust/cheese pizza. Our server was lovely and the atmosphere was very old-school pub, with large brick pizza ovens in view. Definitely a place to visit in West Hartford :]

Rey Bennett

This location was really clean when we visited and not overly crowded, so we were able to sit and enjoy our dinner without too much noise or distractions. We love coming to MOOYAH because it’s simple for my partner to have gluten-free options with nearly everything on the menu here. Overall this was a good experience here with friendly customer service, high-quality food, and a clean seating area!

diana reed

Delish unique French inspired breakfast and lunch with many gluten free options Amazing lattes too! The sweet lady at the barista counter was very attentive and genuinely kind Great portions too! And the soup was truly comfort food!

J Matthews

Love this place. The food and service were excellent. Many gluten free choices.

Luke Rasmituth

Amazing food. If you’re gluten free, hit this place up. Workers were super nice 👍

Kristian Ording

Enjoyed a nice Valentine’s Day dinner with my Valentine here. Nice atmosphere with a few pretty floral additions and also had a rose for each couple as a parting gift. Very busy with a bit of a line when we were heading out - was happy to have made a reservation on OpenTable. Our server, Jess, was awesome. Super nice with a sense of humor to deftly counter my witty commentary. Since both Sauvignon Blancs in the glass were from New Zealand I wasn’t sure which to choose and Jess was kind enough to bring a taste of each. As we were catching up over a delicious IIPA and a glass of wine from the rather large list (but limited availability for glasses vs bottles), we noticed the music was quite loud - not sure if valentines related or typical. We started with the Farm to Table board which was yummy but should have been called Brussels Sprouts with lots (and lots) of fig jam and a hint of prosciutto. Only a couple thin slices under a mound of fried sprouts. Sprouts were voluminous and tasty but little overdone IMHO. Also needed more salt, pistachios, and burrata. For our mains, we had the Skillet Roasted Salmon and the Nachos. Salmon was very tasty. We ordered medium rare and it was definitely more cooked through. Nice sweetness in the sauce that complimented the unctuousness of the salmon. Could have used a touch more acid and more of the crunch from the pistachios. Toothsome risotto that was very squashy (in a good way)! Nachos were huge with a nice layer of melted cheese and a delicious cheese sauce in addition to the chicken. Definitely a good amount of spice - not sure if in the sauce or only from the peppers. Only criticism was the Arugula. I loves me some peppery lettuce, but just felt like an odd addition on Nachos. Actually, another complaint - Top layer was awesome but you’re left with a pile of baked naked chips underneath. Overall - great atmosphere and good food. Tons of Gluten Free options with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Thumbs up!

Great gluten free options and dedicated prep space for gluten free options. They are moving to new location and opening back up after Labor Day at new location right down street.

Jillian Claridge

After hearing great things and seeing positive reviews of how they handle gluten and dairy free pizzas, we decided to give it a try. Even though we have very few choices of trustworthy restaurants in the area, I will not be returning here. The prices are outrageous…and I’m not even speaking of the extensive upcharges for gluten and dairy free options. $50 for 2 pepperoni pizzas (one gf/df)?! Absurd. Way too many pepperonis. Waitress did her minimal job and talked me out of sharing a gf pizza with my daughter because it was “about 10 inches”. It was the same size as the normal. My biggest complaint was the children’s birthday party taking place in the restaurant with screaming 6 year olds running around. The families, some of whom are connected to the restaurant, were oblivious to the fact that several other families were there. Expensive pizza. Terrible management of out of control children. Average service. Not for me. Won’t be back.

I ordered for a large group event at Connecticut College and it went so well. The staff was very easy to communicate with and expertly created a menu for our 14 person lunch with vegan and gluten free options within our budget. Everyone loved it. Highly recommend!
