One of the distinguishing features of this - of all French Quarter New Orleans restaurants is that the menu is designed to have dedicated gluten free options for classics like fried seafood. It also happens to have an excellent gf/df spin on a traditional Shrimp Creole, with an addicting bed of vegetables, including some bright and punchy pickled peppers that just make the entire dish pop. As someone with food allergies, this being my first food stop in NO has set the bar super high for me. (Sorry, no photo - ate it all too fast!)

Sunday morning brunch. $15 bottomless mimosas, $15 omelettes, $22 shrimp and grits. Multiple GF gluten free items including the shrimp and grits. Truly excellent. Nice atmosphere and the jazz vocalist and guitarist tucked in the corner made it a truly special NOLA experience. Will be back!!!

Good Gluten Free options. The house potatoes were stupidly good... I mean wow. I didn't know potatoes could be that good. Also really liked the sticky beets dish, and the grilled carrots dish on the tofu-based ricotta alternative. That stuff was magic (and I'm not vegan). We used that as dip sauce for the potatoes and... it was incredible. For the main course we ordered both the beef and chicken. Both were quite good, but honestly we enjoyed the small other dishes above better than the main course 😅. Had creme brulee for desert, it was good too, but not particularly extraordinary.

This is our favorite place for special occasions with the family, or drinks and plate sharing with my friends after work. The food is always fresh, delicious, and interesting. Both beautiful to look at and eat. The staff is extremely accommodating of my family members who have celiac disease, making sure to take careful notes on their orders. Patron this spot. You will not be disappointed.

If you're craving a delightful brunch experience in NOLA, look no further than Two Chicks Cafe! This charming spot, founded by two women, offers top-notch service with a personal touch. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the owner and a team of servers who are not only warm and welcoming but also incredibly attentive to your needs. Now, let's talk about the food - it's simply amazing! I opted for the Vegetable Benedict on gluten-free bread, and every bite was a symphony of flavors. Whether you're a gluten-free enthusiast or just looking for a delicious twist on a classic dish, you won't be disappointed. Just a heads up, they don't take reservations, so plan to arrive a bit early to secure your spot. Trust me, it's worth the extra effort to savor the culinary delights awaiting you at Two Chicks Cafe.

It's basic food with a casual atmosphere. Decent amount of options on the menu that can accommodate kids plus gluten free options. Music was up so loud conversation was very difficult but everyone was friendly yet not overly attentive. Having 8 different items on the menu nothing was bad but nothing that was great either. Stop in and expect to get full at a fair price.

Fun place to visit. I'm gluten free, and was able to eat the red beans and rice (most are not gf). Had no issues. Fast-paced restaurant with a good vibe. People I was with got the oysters and they smelled amazing. They loved them. Would go back if I was with gluten eating people so they could experience it.

I'm a gluten intolerant Vegetarian and THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE!!! I would give 10 stars if I could! The service was a little slow but we were having a great time and eating some of the best food I think I've ever had 😍 I didn't realize there was a store connected to the other side so the servers would be walking back and forth which I thought was super convenient. We came here 2 nights in a row. It is GORGEOUS in here

This is, quite literally, one of the best, if not the best places to eat in NOLA for this price range. The menu has something for everyone...vegan, gluten free, sweet tooth, savory. My favorite breakfast place in the world, and I am super snobby about breakfast. Probably the only place in the world where you can get homemade ice cream and donuts, gourmet coffee, draft beer, frozen mimosas and coffees alongside a funky menu that includes the perfect breakfast burrito and fried cauliflower bites that taste like general tsos chicken. You will want to come back to this place as soon as you leave. So freaking delicious... ALL DAY!

We had a party of five and they gladley accomidated my friends scooter. The Monte Cristo and Ruben sandwiche's were a hit. They have a special menu for gluten free and vegiterians. I ordered the vegie cobb salad, when it came it had bacon and ham on it. They quickly made me a new salad. The service was a little slow, but I think that was the kitchen and bar staff. Our server was awesome.

Annemarie is an excellent server and helped my wife order safe gluten free food for my wife who has celiac disease. We both had filets which were cooked to perfection. I added the lobster tail and my wife had shrimp with her steak. The Brussel Sprouts were excellent and the mashed potatoes also. We had two very yummy deserts. We were staying at Caesar’s. We were able to charge to the room but not use a celebration dinner as the restaurant is not totally affiliated with the casino. But it didn’t damper what we thought of dinner or the staff.
