Great gluten free meal! 👍🏻

I went with my mom and sister who can't eat gluten. They are the best crepes 👌🏻🫶🏻 light and full of fresh and exquisite flavor. Made to order by Caro who treated us very kindly and even gave us recommendations. I loved the protein shake 😍 thick, concentrated flavor. Absolutely everything was spectacular. My mom had already gone and she loved it so much that she wanted to take me 😊 I recommend it to spend a pleasant hour full of delicious food and friendly people

Great breakfast spot! Had amazing gluten free pancakes and toast. Menu was unique and delicious. Joanna was our server and was extremely helpful, attentive, and overall lovely! Would definitely recommend this place!

There’s outdoor seating by the river and vegan & gluten-free options! The Chopped Salad and Falafel are SO GOOD!!

Sarah L

Sat at the bar for happy hour, nice place for a snack and a drink! A few gluten free options, although not depicted on the menu. Server was helpful!

Gabriele Candela

Everything was amazing. Trevor was an amazing server and so accommodating to our friends celiac allergy. Personable, food was great and energy was immaculate. We will be back when we return to the FT. Lauderdale area thanks to Trevor!

Cara Bostrom

This was a great find! Everything was excellent - even for this gluten free traveler!

Neil Kohler

Had dinner here on our first night in town and it set the bar very high. Was unquestionably the best meal we had in Ft. Lauderdale. I’m gluten free, the waiter was knowledgeable about what could/couldn’t be prepared for me. I had the “Yard Bird”, which was the juiciest chicken I’ve ever had. Wife and I shared the Dip Duo and Scoobies. Both were great. She had the lobster roll. We went to some other top rated restaurants in the area and they didn’t come close. Definitely a must go.

I had a truly wonderful dinner here with family. The service was absolutely outstanding, everyone was so warm and welcoming! The food was sublime, loved the hummus, gluten free pita (also most of the menu could be made completely gluten free, even a GF fryer for the falafel!), the fattoush salad was out of this world, as was the swordfish and yoghurt chicken. The pavlova was mind blowing also!! The setting is very peaceful and the restaurant is tastefully decorated, I loved the outdoor terrace and the transitional lighting from day to night. One of my new favorite restaurants in Fort Lauderdale and will definitely return again soon!

Passion Leaves

Spacious, work-lunch atmosphere, amazing food. Knowledgeable staff. Everything fresh. Warm/cold options. Gluten/dairy free desserts took my heart

Theresa Swenson

Amazing pizza, even the gluten free crust was good!!!

Matthew Ward

Great atmosphere and food! Had the shrimp tacos which were delicious. The gluten free dumplings were great as well.

I hadn’t been to the Gourmet Garden Café in about a year and noticed it was under new ownership. I’m usually a bit cautious about these kinds of changes, but as my visit went on, the staff quickly put me at ease with their warm and attentive service. Avi, whom I believe is the owner, has built a dedicated and hardworking team, including Miguel, Williana, Frankie the Chef, William, and Blanc. Their menu offers a great selection, including vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and some vegan options, making it a welcoming spot for various dietary needs. The café has a pleasant atmosphere, and the quality of both the food and service makes it well worth a visit. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend checking it out!

Alexandra Smyth LLC

I had a wonderful time here with my mother. Thank you Anna for dealing with all my modifications and special requests since I am vegan and gluten free. Highly recommend this place and request Anna :)

Trevor Alexander

I’m so sorry the food here is terrible. The pho had no flavor and the gf Buddha bowl was bland as well. Chicken was dry and the mushrooms tasted like they were submerged in water. I decided to give this place another shot after a bad uber eats delivery but wouldn’t recommend at all. Update: the gf Buddha bowl was in fact not gluten free. Had a terrible reaction.

ashley rivera

We had an amazing dinner with excellent service from Cagla. She was absolutely amazing and such a sweetheart. The food was really good as well as the drinks. The salad/ side bar had vegetarian, gluten free & vegan options with everything well labeled. The meat was delicious & the service made everything so much better. 10/10 recommend you coming here.

Wetteny Joseph

This was my first experience at Planta Queen. My wife and I came on date night. We were looking for a plant based restaurant and this did not disappoint. Everything we tried was delicious and very flavorful, with many gluten-free options. Service was excellent and fast. It wasn’t too busy this particular Saturday night. We will be back.

Hannah Carey

Great experience here! Food tastes amazing and there is great variety. They also have a ton of gluten free options and were super helpful! Definitely recommend.

Georgia Thompson

This establishment has great outdoor seating, amazing food & phenomenal staff!! Dinio & Tanzii were such a delight, they made our experience the best. The CEO burger is in my top 10 favorite burgers of all time, be sure to try it out!! Plus they have great gluten free options, which is a huge bonus. Overall, 10/10!

I recently went to a Christmas 🎄 party at Batch in Fort Lauderdale, and they did a such great job! The party was outside, and the weather was perfect. The buffet-style appetizers were really good, and they were also very helpful with accommodating people with allergies. Everyone working there was super nice and on top of everything. They were also hosting their own event, “Shots for Tots,” where you bring an unwrapped toy and get a free shot. I love that they’re giving back. I think it’s so nice when businesses take the time to help others.. I also found out they now have a gluten-free menu, and I can’t wait to try it! It was a great experience ❤️ P.S.: If you’re looking for a good espresso martini, they make their own and sell it by the bottle. It’s very good! 😊

Jennie Drake

We visited on a whim on a business trip and had a fantastic visit. Delicious Sushi, Delicious Thai Cuisine, amazing service (I believe her name was Shannon?) she made me feel safe/seen immediately by taking my order and immediately bringing gluten free soy sauce to the table.🩶 it was so good I ordered it to go the next night, saved a roll and ate it on my plane ride home! Definitely worth the stop. Celiac Safe/Gluten Free options available 🥰

Jennifer Johnson

Reservations were set for 5pm on a Friday to sit outside. Diana, our waitress, was WONDERFUL!!!!!! She answered any and all questions completely and honestly. Food was better than I expected. I'm gluten free, so options can be quite limited overall, but she made it work perfectly. A lively scene, very vibey. It was getting a little loud by the time I left, but for the 5pm spot, it was fine.

Kai Bowden

The gluten free pizza at Emmy Squared is THE BOMB. Genuinely never had such a good GF crust! It dosent look busy which I don’t understand!!

Miranda Saumier

Has indoor and outdoor seating. Great live music! Great service and good for families. Lots of Gluten Free options on the menu! Take your receipt next door to their Tommy Bahama store for a discount on clothing!

Rachel R

We come here at least twice a week now! What appealed to us were the TONS of gluten free options, what kept us coming back was the staff. Antoine is always on top of things, fantastic service, he knows how to take care of you! He and Selena are amazing: great vibes, so fun to talk to. They work hard but never fail to give you a good time. Love the atmosphere, delicious food and they have several deals throughout the week. Great drink variety! highly recommend Tap 42 ✨ thanks for always giving us a superb experience!

Amy Reed

We came here for a family celebration and it did not disappoint. YOLO has a really great atmosphere and vibe. Great menu, a lot of specialty items. Service was top-notch. Our server was very knowledgeable in their gluten free options. Highly recommend and suggest making a reservation.

Olga Ryhalska

Perfect Italian coffee now here, delicious ScinnyLicious dishes and gluten free options

This isn’t a food review, it’s a customer service review. I have an autoimmune disease called, Celiac Disease, where I’m 100% gluten free. When the line workers don’t know what’s gluten free and what’s not while also refusing to help or refusing to be accommodating, I had to immediately walk out. Why are you working for a corporate franchise health food store front when you have no clue? Literally the conversation went, “Are any of the grains gluten free?” And she says, “I don’t know, I don’t think so.” I walked out.

The Etna Rosso Ristorante is a gem of a Sicilian restaurant. The food is nicely prepared with excellent flavors. The overall atmosphere is nice and intimate as the space is not gigantic which means when full - that is most of the time - voices can be loud. They also offer some seating outside. The pasta selections are varied and even offer gluten free. The menu indicates which items will meet vegetarian or vegan diet needs. We have now been multiple times and the fine food is consistently good. Etna Rosso could become your favorite small Sicilian restorante. Quick update - We are continuing to enjoy our meals at Etna Rosso, AND sharing the experience with many friends. If you haven't added Etna Rosso to your list of favorites, you must give it a try.

The Beach House restaurant sounds like it should be a winner. It's directly opposite the beach. It's open-air and the interior looks inviting. The menu is inviting, but things go a little out of kilter after that. For people with special food requirements such as gluten-free you need to get a bit creative with your orders. However, the Beach House is not very flexible. Certain items come with specific sides and substitutions are not easy to come by. So, my companion had to order a pasta dish and hope the pasta was gluten-free as promised by our server. When the food came out five people got their orders, but my order was inadvertently served to another table. So, I had to sit there while my dinner partners ate their meals. The other problematic thing is the live music. We had to ask twice for the music to be turned down so we could talk at our table. I didn't sign up for dinner theater, so I don't like being overwhelmed by some guy performing reggae music. The Beach House has potential. It just needs to make a few adjustments.

We really enjoyed the place. The food was good. We really enjoyed the grilled calamari. The fresh pasta was tasty and the gluten free options worked well. The portions were decent, the atmospheric warm, with a nice mix of causal and good service. We would go there again in a heartbeat and will add it to our top food choices when in the area.

Gluten free/dairy free anything is always a bit of a challenge when traveling but 10/10 love this pizza, I got gluten free crust done well with extra dairy free cheese, pepperchinis, garlic, onion, spinach and buffalo sauce is CHEFS KISS. I Definitely recommend, giving this a try if you’re in Fort Lauderdale! However back home I’m not a huge pizza fan but I have already had this pizza 3 times already since I got here Sunday 3/9!! And that says a lot!!!

Leslie Tummel

Wonderful food! My steak was cooked perfectly and the sides were also amazing. Maxwell was an amazing server, and was able to accommodate my need to be gluten free without any trouble at all. I will definitely eat here again!

Matt Till

One of our favorite ice cream destinations! Build your own creation and watch it come alive. Plenty of non-dairy, gluten-free, and vegan options.

Rose Boyd

Adriana Chimaras

Granola is gluten-free! They don't carry any yogurt though.

Sandra Loe

My husband and I enjoy going out to dinner and do not mind paying for an experience that is worth it, Dune is most certainly not worth it. The service is subpar, the restaurant dirty and everything is overpriced. We recently went for dinner and sat at the bar, we had to ask the bartender to clean the bar, which was covered with food and spilled drinks. We then had numerous issues with our food and drink orders. My husband’s margarita had mojito spearmint. After explicitly saying my husband could not eat their fries because he has celiac, his steak came out with the fries instead of the substitute side he had requested. To make matters worse, my food came out about 15 minutes after my husband’s food came out and only after we asked for it 3 separate times. The delay in my order meant that we were unable to eat together. Overall, it was a terrible experience and no one apologized for the numerous mistakes and inconveniences that we encountered. I tried to reach to speak to the manager at least 3 times but they do not care enough to answer the phone or call back.

Spencer

A few nice gluten free options for celiacs

Scott Zerzanek

We had a great dinner at this restaurant. While it is a bit pricey compared to some other sushi options; the sushi was delicious. They also provided a gluten free “soy sauce” and gluten free sushi rolls. The restaurant was busy and lively, away from the young spring break crowd and the service was also very good.

Hannah Waters

Very good food and service, we sat outside it was a little windy but still warm. We enjoyed a selection of their sandwiches and they have gluten free options if you ask. All were very good especially the cuban one! We also ordered a dessert be warned one will easily feed two or three of you. We had the key lime bar it was delicious.

We held my mother's 90th birthday party at Cafe Vico and it was a huge success, in large part because of the extraordinary skills and efforts of Chef Marco and his wonderful team. The party was buffet style in their large private party room. All of our guests commented on how delicious everything was, and they especially loved the appetizer dish of eggplant rollatini. My family and I couldn't get over how accommodating, kind and attentive the restaurant's staff was. They even made a special dish of gluten-free pasta for our gluten sensitive guests. Chef Marco doesn't like to say "no" and will do anything possible (assuming it's reasonable) to make his guests happy. I cannot thank them enough. If you want a great meal or an awesome, stress-free party, Cafe Vico is the place for you!

Adele

BEST GREEK FOOD IVE EVER HAD! SO MANY GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS! I had the organic chicken and potatoes… most delicious, easy to eat, so juicy! food was so fresh! Fast service even though the restaurant was full! kind staff!

Megs

Nice coffee shop. Try the Horchata coffee (yum)—several gluten-free bakery items.

alexander nunez

If you are searching for an impeccable, unbelievably delicious, and healthy meal this is the place to go to. It is all vegan (soy free, gluten free, dairy free). I have been coming here consistently for some time, and cannot get enough. Always consistent customer service and fresh food. The process of ordering the food (online) is so easy and quick. They even text you updates for when the food is ready. The owners are super friendly, and are on point. If you’re in South Florida and you’re looking for THE BEST vegan spot, this is it. I have been all over South Florida and nobody does phenomenal quite like they do. If you don’t follow them already, add them on Instagram to get updated location, pictures, and location hours (@veganjunkieburgers). Check them out, for real.

Ordered pad thai.. wasn't hot ..... and missing peanuts. Had to get another waiter to locate ours. Other than food and service, was clean. Not much choice for Gluten free entrees also.

Mark McLean

We've eaten at Sea Watch for years and usually had a very good experience. This time was very disappointing, both in the food and especially the service. We were given a very nice table outside as we requested. However our waitress was completely dismissive. It took nearly 30 minutes to just get waters at our table. We had to rely on other wait staff to answer questions and provide drinks. When she finally did show up, she took our order whereby I told her no less than 4 times that I had a gluten allergy. She even responded that she'd be sure to make a note of it. When the food came, it was not gluten free. Again I had to rely on another server to help correct the situation. Our server never once checked on us, brought us bread (that we asked for), or brought is drink refills. When I finally got my dinner (after everyone else at the table was finished, it was cold and the steak over cooked. Being that it was nearly 1 1/2 hours since being seated, I just gave up and ate some of it. Next, when I asked for a dessert menu, the server couldn't find one and rudely walked away. Now here's the best part, our server came to deliver the bill which was over $200. I would normally tip 20-25%. However in this case I tipped her about 5% (which was a gift, in my opinion). She even went so far as to blame me for not telling her of my gluten allergy. When when the table behind us (also very upset by the terrible service) vouched for me, she then blamed the other servers that were clearly trying to help her. As we were leaving, she was then standing at the upstairs bar chatting with a co-worker (which she did nearly all of the time she should have been waiting on us) at very loudly explained to co-workers and other customers of how insulted she was by the tip. I asked for a manager and after waiting 10 (after the place had closed), I was told he wasn't available. We've always enjoyed this place, but this experience has soured us. The host desk was completely disorganized with 3 ladies arguing with each other. I think management needs to see what's really going on with the experiences at this place. Our entire section became a community with our mutual contempt for the terrible service. Sea Watch....you're better than this. There is no excuse for so many families to have such a bad experience.

Kimi Gessner

My food was great but the 2 gluten free (celiac) people I was with both had regular pasta in with their their GF pasta. I know that dining out is risky but the pastas were 2 different shapes. It also was not busy at the time that we were there.

Mila Cardoze

They offer plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. I tried the cauliflower buffalo wings, which were delicious with a slight kick of spice. Then I ordered a hamburger from the lunch menu (since the dinner menu only offers the regular burger with eggs, I requested the lunch version). To finish, I indulged in their amazing brownie and ice cream dessert.

Being from Michigan we really look forward to the amazing sushi Fort Lauderdale has to offer. Our regular place had closed so we were on a search for a new location. I’ve got to say, this is some of the best sushi/seafood I’ve ever had. Sorry I don’t have any photos, we dug in and couldn’t bother to stop and take photos. The offerings are not just the normal rice/nori wrapped sushi, many have no rice at all and are wrapped in cucumber or fish. Just try it, you won’t be sorry. I also ordered their small plate of scallops, they were out of this world flavorful. Tatem, our server was knowledgeable, and helped me choose the best gluten free options. If you are celiac, or gluten free, this is the place for you, they are extremely careful, and you will be safe eating here.
