Top 17 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Explore in Lake View East, Chicago

Emmy Johnson

Not the best experience. Our waitress gave us indifferent answers about how the gluten free food is prepared. We ended up having to talk to the manager (which is something I hate asking for). The food ended up being okay and I didn’t have any reaction. It was nice to have gluten free mac and cheese! I think our experience would’ve been much better if we had a more educated waitress

Amazing gluten free Detroit style pizza! Thank you for my new North Side favorite go to. 😊

Loren Buder

Most amazing gluten-free donuts EVER, ANYWHERE! (That's we've been. Haha) Friendly staff. Open another location in San Diego!!

Aubrey Granderson

A delightful breakfast place with many options, including gluten free pancakes.

My family and I came here on our way to the Cubs game. Bluebird did not disappoint! It was hands down the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. The keto/gluten free chicken is quite tasty. The fries are phenomenal!! We continued to talk about how good the food was hours later! The portion sizes were excellent. The ambiance in the restaurant is welcoming and pleasant. The staff appear to take much pride in the food and are quite friendly. We will definitely be back and will tell others of our great experience!!!

Great place for my lunch break. The lunch specials are so so good, really well priced & fast. Love the soup too, and it's ready so quickly. (For gluten free they will give you rice or tortilla for the bread, and they have a lot of other gf options on the menu..)

We were in search of a quick, healthy meal and we found Sila’s. Accommodating to food allergies, the menu was clearly labeled. We had the Mediterranean chicken bowl which was easily made gluten and dairy free. Served in generous portions, the food was fresh and natural which is hard to come by these days. Will definitely be returning!

Menu clearly indicates gluten free items. Server was kind and was able to indicate order was for celiac. Went there was they were having a special on the marg flight. Outdoor seating was plentiful, good energy on the patio

This place is really good! We had a great dinner and never felt rushed. The food is delicious though it is pricey. The drinks are also great, and have a very herby theme (rosemary cocktails, artichoke negroni, etc). They have gluten free pasta, and gluten free meatballs.

My fiancé and i came here for the first time last night and our experience was amazing! 10/10. the vibe of the restaurant is so cute and cozy and the service was wonderful. i was recently diagnosed with a gluten allergy and a mild dairy allergy and they were incredibly accommodating. my fiancé and i both ended up getting the chicken and it was probably the best chicken i have ever had in my life!!! we will definitely be back!

I love Lark! It's one of my favorite places to go for dinner in Boystown. You absolutely must order breadsticks. Even if you're not hungry. Even if you're avoiding carbs. Even if you have Celiac disease. They are absolutely to die for. Pizzas are always good, but I tend to order either salmon or the steak frites. The salmon is always wonderfully fresh and well prepared, and always served on top of delicious seasonal vegetables with either a great balsamic reduction or a fresh, delicious pesto sauce. The steak frites is always great too, and they're perfectly happy to sub out the frites for veggies (I'm not opposed to potatoes, but they're seasonal vegetables are just always excellent!) Drinks are good and fairly priced. Nice selection of wines by the glass and bottle. Oh, and the service! Always friendly! Always helpful! This place is truly a gem.

Went here for our ma’s birthday while visiting Chicago for a show at Wrigley Field and it was fantastic! She has celiac disease and they can make any of their pastas Gluten Free which was awesome. We’ve been to some nicer Italian places but this was some of my favorite. Highly recommend!

Wakamono Sushi was outstanding! Being gluten free, I was able to enjoy an amazing night out with friends, and didn’t worry about cross contamination. The servers were GF educated, and they even made some items special without gluten. On top of all this, the sushi was incredible. Try the Spicy Scallops and the Spicy Trio. Amazing, I’m definitely coming back 🥳

We had a fun date night here, food was so tasty. We enjoyed everything, ribs were especially enjoyable. Thanks so much Ivan for taking my allergy so seriously and going above and beyond! The gluten free bun is actually really good too

Sophie

Best pho around for sure, and I've tried several in town. Not to mention a lot of gluten free stuff. My order is veggie pho with a veggie spring roll. I crave it several times a week. I used to work there and can attest they make a lot of items from scratch.

David Thomas

Great step up from a diner. Love the food, service and speed. The ingredients are fresh, and labeled well. If you want to eat gluten free, vegetarian or any choice you want or need, it's easy. The chorizo hash is perfect, crunchy potatoes, perfect eggs and guac make this my go-to. The fresh fruit and granola is my other favorite. The coffee is fantastic, not diner coffee. They brew it fresh and it's perfect. Service is fast and efficient without being pushy. If there's a wait they take your number and text you when ready. Simple things, but everything done well. In a pinch the counter is a great place to grab a meal too.
