Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Experience in Key West

Jen Pfleghaar

The food was so yummy! Menu items marked gluten free! The cheesecake was delicious!

Kaci Deal

The beer tender was nice enough but I ordered vegan chili cheese fries and was served real meat! After ordering the plant based option, I double checked when she brought it to the table and asked if it was vegan. She said yes! Then after the fact she was trying to show me on the handheld POS that that they have vegan chili served with cornbread but no vegan chili cheese fries.. when it was on the menu. I am disgusted and morally hurt. The only resolution that came from this was not paying for the fries? The beer was good and surprisingly gluten free friendly but it’s more than a shame to offer vegan items and not be knowledgeable about it. Edit: LACKLUSTER RESPONSE It is such a shame what I experienced here and there will probably be no good resolution until I acquire legal help. Pathetic

Very tasty glutenfree food ☺️

Deb Johnson

Staff was very accommodating of my gluten free needs. Food was amazing

Janeen Minguillo

Excellent food and service!! Great gf options for celiac. So glad I stopped in, the tomato bisque was amazing! Also had no worries curry, menu labeled and staff was courteous, accommodating and knowledgable. It's a bit hectic when you first walk in, 3 separate entrances and hostess station is in the middle, but just go with it, completely worth it.

They make their own gluten free pizza.. So good

Niko Zuellos

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of food here, and the perfect margarita was top-notch. Dedicated gluten free fryer is available for all fries, and they have gluten free options for multiple dishes, along with a gluten free bun for burgers. Very unique experience, with some accompanying live music.

Very quiet place with amazing food and service. Our waiter was so kind and patient and you could tell she loved her job. She has amazing communication with her chefs out back and knew the components of every dish when we asked for specifications for dietary restrictions. We got a couple items and all tasted very delicious. I would say the best vegan/vegetarian/gluten free restaurant option in all of Key West. Unfortunately the only concern I have is the bun for the burger was a little to crispy and seemed overcooked but the rest of the food was amazing 😍.

Cindy Adamson

Brunch very good. Waitress was excellent. Nice 2nd floor patio. If you eat gluten free, the breakfast potatoes have cross contamination. I was thankful our waitress informed me as I was ordering. So, watch out for the gluten free options. Awesome gluten free Bloody Mary.

Lori Boyle

We enjoyed our visit and always have a nice experience. I would come more often if there were more gluten free and vegan options. My sister joined us and wasn’t able to try anything since she is vegan. Maybe a simple apple crisp or similar could be offered??

Deb Eldredge

This is our second time coming here. We came back because this was our favorite meal last year. The food was good, but not as good as last year. The wait staff was helpful in finding gluten-free options for my son. He ordered the 1/2 chicken which I had last year. This time, instead of 1/2 chicken, he was served grilled chicken breasts. Not sure what happened there. Overall, the food was good and the patio is a great place to watch people and roosters.

Sabrina Spindler

We had a nice evening at the Hard Rock Cafe. They have an extra gluten free menu and i had the best burgen. Just amazing!

Umesh Shah

Very good place to eat. Excellent food and the main host and waiter is very friendly and knows the menu every well. They were very accommodating of our gluten allergy. Highly recommend this place.

Christopher Walker

Jenny Adler

We had a wonderful experience. Andrei was able to help us navigate the menu with our gluten free needs. He was able to give us recommendations on how to make items on the menu GF even though they were not listed as GF. The swordfish was wonderfully prepared.

Dawn Williamson

Fantastic food and service

Restaurant Review: Fogarty's in Key West, FL A business meal at Fogarty’s in Key West, FL a few weeks ago was satisfying due to a number of factors. First, it was an enjoyable setting in which to eat, one full of ambience that encourages conversation. Although the background at the restaurant is never too loud, conversation between the members of our party was an easy task in the comfortable acoustic environment. In terms of menu, though they do offer GF options, I would like to see more like expanding the gluten free menu to create more choices for those with dietary restrictions. Best were the Key Lime Shrimp: flawlessly fresh, perfectly cooked and indisputably local, this creamy cocktail fare summed up Key West cuisine in just one succulent, savory, lemony-sweet bite of Key West goodness. I’ve got to come back here some day. The service at Fogarty’s was great. Everybody was very friendly and kept everything running smoothly. That all helped make for a pleasant mealtime experience. Overall, I’d say that Fogarty’s would be a great place to go out to eat for a quiet evening, most especially if you also have food allergies. I think a little more work on their gluten-free menu, such as reaching out to their distant location and offering it for a whole weekend, would help attract a larger market of diners.

Great vegan and gluten free options! Food was yummy and came out quickly

David Acosta

This was the best meal and service I have ever experienced in Key West. We had the fish of the day and the yellow snapper, both of which were excellent. The key lime pie was delicious, and I appreciated that they had gluten-free options available for each course.

Jonathan Brett

Went here specifically for its GF offering. Service was very poor but the food was great. Once we managed to get seated and got both menus we were offered some fresh bread but though we’d ordered Gluten Free pasta, when asked, the waitress said no, its not GF, we don’t have GF bread, ok why offer it to us then (here’s something you can’t eat). My food was brought and the pasta was cold so had to send it back, my wife’s food was brought but was the wrong dish, the waitress even said we don’t have a pasta dish with Italian sausage in but when we showed her the menu she apologised as they did. So now I have hot food my wife has no food, so rather than have them make mine a third time I ate my food and I was 90% finished by the time my wife’s food arrived. So manage expectations on service and you’ll be happy. Disappointing that they didn’t offer a coffee of something by way of an apology for a poor dining experience.

My wife and children wanted to take me out for my birthday for Italian eats and La Trattoria did not disappoint. There were accommodating when we requested to move tables. Non c'e problema! My daughter was a little chilly and they gave her a small tablecloth to wear as a 'cape'. How caring and accommodating! The wait staff was friendly and fast. The food was excellent. My son enjoyed his fettuccine Alfredo, my little girl had buttered noodles with chicken and was very happy. Both of them loved the bread and were a little adventurous in trying the oil/vinegar/parmesan dip. Belissima! My wife's gluten free penne was tasty and my tortellini with sweet sausage was very on point. All that said, they totally blew us away with a surprise desert (at no charge! when does that happen here?). The Tira Misu was TO DIE FOR and they basically put a fireworks show on top of it. The entire restaurant sang to me and I was completely taken aback (see photo). This was hands-down the best dining experience we've had in a long long time. Coming on the heels of not great experience at another Italian place we realized that sometimes you have to go through some not great stuff to get to the promised land. Recommend, highly recommend La Trattoria. GRAZIE MILLE!!!!! P.S. No I don't wear the same shirt for all my reviews lol, just a coincidence.

Joshua Gathings

Terrific place for Italian food, delicious pizza, pasta, and even seafood! Gluten-free pasta substitutes available. Many ingredients from Italy used and the 1000° 🔥 oven for the best cooked pizza 🍕 on the island! This is a taste of Italy down in Key West! With 2 convenient locations on the island, it is a must try!! Loved the outside courtyard seating with low light made it very intimate and personable. Will be back!

Jon McBride

Impeccable service and extraordinary food. They accommodated my wife’s gluten free needs as well. I’ve been to many of the local restaurants over the years, but this is a new favorite.

Danielle Gangelhoff

We popped in here because a review mentioned a gluten free option and was pleasantly surprised to see numerous gluten free options and all clearly labeled on the menu. Food was delicious (although portions were huge so come hungry or share) and our server was delightful. We'd come again, for sure.

Jason Suran

I was in key west for 5 days and I think I ate here at least once a day if not more. The food is incredible and the guy who runs it is super friendly and helpful. I have celiac so it’s really hard for me to eat out especially when traveling. not only was he knowledgeable about allergen safety but he made me a completely custom gluten free sandwich that wasn’t even on the menu. If I could give that sandwich 12 starts out of 10 I would.

Mike Heck

First night of my 50th bday celebration. Everything was incredible. Kids enjoyed their burgers and my wife and I loved the grouper and mahi mahi. Lobster ceviche was fresh and flavorful. Service and atmosphere were 100% perfect. We will be back this week. Cannot recommend more strongly. Very accommodating of my wife’s Celiac condition. Thank you Danny and Zach. Memorable experience.

This restaurant was right across from our hotel. I let them know that I have celiac disease and could not have bread with my lobster roll. They decided to weigh out my portion because they didn’t want to charge me for something I wasn’t getting. It ended up being $6 cheaper ( although I also didn’t get the plantains and coleslaw even though they were gf). We decided to take it to go so I could toast some gf bread to go with my lobster at the hotel. The amount they gave me was enough to easily make 2-3 sandwiches since gf bread is so small. We also ordered the smoked fish dip which they kept separate from the crackers and they sold gf tortilla chips at the front which I used. I really appreciated their effort to keep me safe while also adjusting their pricing which most places do not.

Jana Bravo

We went and ate at the location one time and had them deliver to our resort two other times. I eat gluten free due to Celiac and I was able to safely eat here. The two times we ordered delivery were great experiences. The food came sooner than expected both times. Also the order was 100% accurate which unfortunately surprises me since there is usually a mistake somewhere in food delivery. We ordered directly from their website instead of a meal delivery company. Their website is very user friendly and everything is customizable. I wish they had a location near where I live.

Maddy Easley

Amazing seafood place for lunch! Had a great table on the waterfront walk and started with some great cocktails and a yummy conch chowder that was gluten free. Then our awesome waitress was quick with bringing us our food as well, which was Alfredo for my partner and a gluten free ahi tuna bowl for me. Really loved everything about this place and can’t wait to come back!! The atmosphere is beautiful since you’re right on the water.

Joyce Feagle

We stopped by the Blackfin Bistro for lunch yesterday. We had the best seat in the house for people watching. I am gluten intolerant and they had plenty of options for me. We had calamari, escargot and mussels in blue cheese sauce. Gabor was great! Very knowledgeable, recommended a wonderful wine and he was so friendly. I highly recommend checking Blackfin out if you find yourself in Key West.

JC C

Awesome lunch deals. Freshest tuna I've had since i lived in Hawaii 👍🏽👍🏽 Also very crucial to me is their awareness of gluten free. They have gf soy sauce. I was very happy about that 😁

Deb Hollaway

We were looking for a place at Mallory Square to sit and relax while watching the sunset. Decided dinner would be a good thing and Bistro 245 had great outdoor seating that did not require reservations. They had a few GF items on a quick glance of the menu, and I was told the kitchen could work with me. Seating by the railing was perfect for our purposes. On second glance at the menu, there really was not much GF in a reasonable price range. Steak or lobster meal was $49 a plate. I sent the waiter to check with the kitchen about the gazpacho, which to me should be a safe GF option, but was not marked as such on the menu. Our young man eventually came back and said it was safe to eat. I ordered that ($11) and a burger without the bun and fries if they were GF or chips as second option ($18). My partner had a burger the regular way with the pasta salad. Our food was delivered by a different person than our waiter. The soup had a buttered crouton floating in the center of the bowl. I had clearly informed my waiter of my NCGS, so I was a little upset. I scooped it quickly out of the bowl, and since I am not celiac, decided to eat it. I let the waiter know and he did offerer to return it to the kitchen, but I figured it was probably safe enough for me, but a gentle reminder to the kitchen would be helpful. The soup was excellent except for that snafu. The burger came without condiments and there were none on the table. We asked for ketchup and mayo. And waited...waited...waited. Our waiter hovered around his tables like a bee, landing and quickly moving on, but we finally had to remind him of our needs! He was apologetic but that is basic service 101. The burgers were good and cooked to order of medium (mine) and rare (his). The sunset was ok, clouds did not cooperate to make it spectacular, but the Bistro was a good place to view it if it had been.

Cindy Alvarado

Great vibe and atmosphere drew us in. Very friendly staff managed to fit us in without reservations. Excellent food and wine! Very accommodating to gluten allergies.

Robert S

Beautiful waterfront location with many seating options. We chose to sit at the large bar. Enjoyed a nice beer flight and a Key Lime Cider. Returned the following day for food as I was impressed with the Gluten Free options. We had the shrimp and scallop risotto and the fresh catch of the day with sides. Everything was excellent. Pricey......yes but definitely worth it. Cheers 🍹🍻

Alana S

Great service, amazing food and generous pours. We had the peel and eat shrimp, mussels diablo and some pilar rum and key lime coladas mostly on happy hour specials. Mussels and key lime coladas were exceptional!! Good gluten free options.

Jonathan Campbell

Food was good, but server and aids were very not attentive. My girlfriend who has a gluten allergy had ordered gluten free pasta. The server rushed to the next person and almost skipped over me. Almost as if he had somewhere better to be…. Well this guy ordered her normal pasta and as I am writing this review my Girlfriend currently throwing up and extremely sick. We were part of a party of 12. Towards the end of our dinner a smaller table requested that the restaurant starts blarring music to satisfy their request. This music was so loud we could not hear each other. At this point we felt the need to cut the night short and leave. This type of service is not acceptable. Would I ever come back to this restaurant if I visit keys again… probably not.

Family De La Cruz

Dined at Atlas Izakaya for Christmas dinner. We could not have asked for a better experience. In our party of four, we had one person with a shellfish allergy, and one person with a peanut allergy, and one person who is gluten-free. They did a fantastic job, letting us know our options and the kitchen adjusted to make dishes with tamari instead of soy sauce to make dishes, gluten-free when possible. I would highly recommend this intimate and high-end dining experience

Julie Palma

The food was delicious. We had 4 different dishes and each one was excellent. Service was spot on and attentive to our needs. Vibrant , but not noisy. Great for a date or a celebration. I’m celiac and I could most items on the menu. Delicious. We will return when we in the area again.

Dante's quickly became a new favorite destination in Key West. First time seeing pics on Instagram I knew I wanted to see this place in person. The Key West Ferry port is located right next to this tropical oasis. Many people arriving on the ferry, come right to the bar to enjoy lunch and cocktails. I returned to Dante's two of my 3 day stay April 2019. Bartender Paige was so friendly and heard me talking about Gluten Free while looking over the menu. She quickly became aware of my needs and offered suggestions. Enjoyed some awesome chicken Nachos and delicious Margaritas. Paige is the reason my experience here was fun and relaxing. Update returned two years later and enjoyed everything again. Great drinks at the poolside bar. Decent nachos and great people watching 👌✅

Dr Brian Howe

Wonderful tasting menu meal. Fresh seafood, great wine list. We are gluten free and the staff was great about our needs. Little Pearl will be a must visit for us for every Key West visit.

Gregory P. Smith

Very good food, not insanely great food. But our visit didn't measure up compared to similar fancy restaurants elsewhere. The wait staff was great and the restaurant knows how to do gluten free very well if that is something you need or want (the chef has chosen that as his own diet). Their wine selection is reasonable but not amazing and this was one disappointment: they don't appear to have a sommelier so my pairing suggestion given by my waiter was not the best idea. Portion sizes are large. Most fancy restaurants do not serve you this much food. Be prepared. Save room for their signature gluten free chocolate "cake" dessert. Unlike so many restaurants this is not an over rich sugar heavy filling lump of a cake. We went in hoping for five stars. Sad to come out with only four, but we do not regret going. Next time we're in key west perhaps we'll try Fin instead for our fancy meal.

Heidi Phillips

Very good. Everything we got was fresh and delicious. Had pretty good gluten free options (sad there was only one dessert choice for gluten free).

Adina Cambron

Great food, not many options for gluten free other than the salads, because they press the sandwiches on regular bread, even though they say they offer gluten free buns. Overall a good experience!

Amanda Carpenter

Probably the best place I have ever eaten. The food and drinks were impeccable. The staff was also very knowledgeable about gluten free items which included dessert. Very highly recommend!

Kolbi Lloyd

INCONSISTENT - I’m Gluten free and they accommodated it the first time I ate here, and now they won’t the second time. If you have food allergies avoid this place. We waited for a table, got sat and then had to leave and find somewhere else. Not cool.

Patricia Shall

This is a must go to in Key West. So many different dishes to pick from for breakfast. Gluten and Vegetarian options. Askana was the BEST server yet in Key West. Thank you!

Anthony Curcio Jr.

Excellent service and food. Staff was very accommodating for someone who needed a gluten free meal because of celiac disease.

Mellissa Buddenhagen

Omgsh great food..definitely will return.. Great gluten free options! Great views and pricing was great!

Lauren Cartwright

Absolutely incredible!!! I am severely celiac and the waiter was so accommodating and knowledgeable! They even bring out gluten free bread which was delicious! I had the yellowtail snapper which was heavenly and did not have a reaction at all. This is a must go when in the keys!!!

Jonathan Brett

Recommended by a local and I see why. Great location across from the old Flagler rail station and historic docks. Great choice and big portions of tasty food. Coffee good and great service, clean restrooms, some quirky decor so what’s not to like. I now can safely recommend it to you, Gluten free breakfast options available in the regular menu.
