Top 17 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Experience in Historic District, St. Augustine

I am celiac, dairy-free, and soy free. This was the first restaurant I felt comfortable eating in since the waiter and kitchen staff took all my dietary restrictions seriously and recommended certain foods that would abide to all of them. It is not easy to find an accommodating restaurant. I highly recommend this place for those who are very sensitive to strict dietary restrictions!! The food was prepared by a chef and the taste was phenomenal!!!

We absolutely love this restaurant especially since they have gluten free and take care to make sure their food is safe. Every-time we have gone we have had great service. They also offer vegan cheese if you have a preference or an allergy to dairy.

Pizzalley’s Chianti Room is situated in a prime location in St. Augustine, and the atmosphere is inviting and pleasant. However, our dining experience was marred by several issues that left us feeling frustrated. Service Issues: Upon arrival at 2:55 PM, a time when the restaurant was not particularly busy, we expected a timely greeting and service. Unfortunately, it took an unacceptably long time for our waiter to approach us and take our initial orders. This delay was surprising given the number of open tables around us. As our wait continued, we found ourselves having to remind the waiter about our requests multiple times, which only added to our dissatisfaction. Children’s Experience: One of the most disappointing aspects of our visit was how our children were treated. While other families at nearby tables received coloring pages and crayons to keep their kids entertained, ours did not. After noticing this discrepancy, we asked for coloring materials but ended up waiting for quite some time without any response. Eventually, one of our group members took the initiative to retrieve the coloring pages and crayons herself, which should not have been necessary. This lack of attention to families with children made the experience feel less welcoming. Plant-based Menu and Pricing Concerns As a vegan family, we were initially pleased to see that the menu offered customizable options. We ordered a vegan pizza, and while our waiter suggested a vegetarian pizza without cheese, we were able to request different vegetables to suit our preferences. However, we were taken aback when we received the bill: $27 for a 10” gluten-free pizza that contained only tomato sauce, a sprinkle of broccoli, mushrooms, pineapple, and a few pieces of eggplant. In stark contrast, friends dining with us paid the same price for a 16” pizza loaded with an impressive array of toppings—pepperoni, sausage, cheese, vegetables, and specialty ingredients (they ordered half Garbage Can half Pig’n’Fig pie). It felt as though we were being penalized for choosing healthier options. Charging extra for a simple vegan pizza with minimal ingredients is not only unreasonable but also discouraging for those seeking plant-based meals. Conclusion: While Pizzalley’s Chianti Room boasts an attractive location and a pleasant atmosphere, the combination of poor service, inadequate attention to children’s needs, and exorbitant pricing for simple vegan options left us feeling dissatisfied. This experience does not align with what one would hope for in a family-friendly restaurant. We cannot recommend this establishment based on our visit.

Excellent choice for gluten free diets. They make everything to order so along with the listed GF items accommodation can be made too. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. Wine list was excellent. Highly recommend.

I went with family because they have a gluten-sensitive menu. Horrible experience. I think it was mostly the waitresses' fault. I got pork belly tacos off of the gluten sensitive menu. I asked her to please put in a note for the kitchen that I have wheat and dairy allergies and it went downhill from there. She said they weren't wheat tortillas they were flour. I said I needed corn. I was brought flour tortillas and she said she forgot to put them in right. I asked for a pineapple mimosa but they brought out a glass with less than a cup of liquid that had no pineapple. Etc. Management comped my food. I will not be back. Please think twice before coming if you have allergies too.

Gluten free “The Works” bagel was really good. The flavors combine just right! Cesar salad was delicious as well. Easiest 5 star rating. Service was great too!

We stopped in twice for a quick appetizer and drinks and it was amazing! The guacamole and oysters were DELICIOUS!!! Their hibiscus margarita is was so flavorful! And both times the service was 5 stars our servers were funny, accommodating to my dietary needs and allergies and attentive! No wait time. Pricing was reasonable and worth what we ordered!! Highly recommend. Gluten free options! For those of you like me with gluten, dairy and soy allergies!

A beautiful old historic house that has been a family owned restaurant (same family) Since 1980. The food was fabulous, all four different meals, the desserts were wonderful, and the appetizers were delicious. In addition, I have celiac and an allergy and nuts to my surprise two of the chefs also have celiac and so there was no issue whatsoever! I would say one of the best restaurants I’ve eaten in in Saint Augustine.

Old mom and pop. So many great choices and they have gluten free bread options. Loved the outdoor seating as it is protected from the weather and they welcome pets out there.

Morgan Robles

Thanks for making the small adjustments to make the appetizers and meal gluten free. Service was great and our waitress let me try 2 wines before ordering one. I had the lamb, mashed potatoes and veggies which was delicious. I can't remember what the appetizer was called, but it was cheese, jam, nuts and focaccia bread. Absolutely amazing!

Josie Weyland

No gluten free menu. Nothing marked as gluten free as previously stated in other reviews. Waitress was unknowledgeable about gf options other than fries. Very limited options. Ended up drinking my dinner lol! #titos

Fabulous food! We just dined at Sainte-George and will definitely be back. First course Spiced Tuna & Beet Sashimi and the Lentil Grape Feta Salad were fantastic. We also enjoyed the Salmon and Scallop special. For dessert, try the chocolate indulgence which is gluten free.

Please don’t miss this one! The wonderful smell drew us in, and as soon as I read gluten free on the menu, I was sure about our choice. They were so kind to us as we were newbies trying to decide what we’d like. I had the coconut cream pie gluten free waffle, and it was so amazing that I came back the next day for a repeat before we left town. Can’t wait to visit again next trip. Highly recommend! Ps, loved the chill and cozy atmosphere!

Sadie Owens

My favorite neighborhood coffee shop! They have great options for gluten free and vegan for breakfast and lunch! Staff is always super friendly, and their matcha is my favorite in town.

Rachael Akins

New obsession! Went for the music came back (again and again) for the food! The atmosphere is instagram worthy from any angle. Top notch live music; my boyfriend and I intended to stop in for drinks only but after scanning the menu decided to order a few small plates and now we are addicted. The tapas selections has something for everyone with gluten free and vegetarian options that leave literally NOTHING to be desired. Do yourself a favor and try the Prawns, Mushrooms, and Beef Tartar with truffle. We absolutely could not pick a favorite item and are working our way through the entire menu. This is our new date night spot for the foreseeable future. Do not sleep on this place!
