Top 6 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Experience in Waterfront District, Portland

Mitch Paine

Travel to Portland for a few days to get away and we heard that this restaurant had great gluten-free pizza. We went. I had a regular pizza. My wife had gluten-free. The drinks were great. The atmosphere was great. The view of the water was great. A must visit destination

The food was good and it had many g/f options. My daughter is celiac and told the waitress many times before ordering that she has an allergy. They then brought her food on a non gluten free bun. The waitress said “my bad” which then left my daughter to eat alone because they had to remake her food . This leaves a bad taste in your mouth. She never apologized, nothing. I was very disappointed. If you have an allergy beware, they don’t take it seriously.

It's an absolute treat to have breakfast with gluten free toast! I had the veggie omelette and it was delicious with a drizzle of their local hot sauce. My husband had the eggs Benedict Florinte and the eggs were perfectly prepared. It was a full house but the staff kept the hot coffee flowing. The kitchen was also fantastic turning out the breakfast dishes quickly. When we left, there was a line of people waiting which is always a sign that the food is worth the wait.

Very impressive place. The service we received was exceptional (thank you Sandra)… knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive without being the least bit overbearing. The food was AWESOME. After a week here in Portland, I had filled up on local haddock and cod and lobster… so I had the swordfish which was *excellent*. Servers on a bed of cassoulet beans, just lovely and tasty. Our server was knowledgeable about the food and made dealing with my wife’s gluten and dairy allergies no big deal, just like it was a routine request. She had the scallops which were gorgeously seared and tasty. Oh… if you love bread (like I do) have the anadama bread. OMG, a light drizzle of molasses and sweet butter. Crazy good. Deserts were also excellent: I had the Indian pudding (awesome)… my wife the GF/DF sorbet. And they have real espresso that’s truly legit. Solid five stars. Fine dining, where you feel comfortable in jeans and a T shirt, but are guaranteed to get a first rate meal. Yup… highly recommended.

Very busy! And for a reason, Great food! Got to watch the staff in action while waiting for the food to arrive. Staff very attentive. If you don't know how to shell & clean a lobster, staff will assist you. I couldn't have the chowder as it contained gluten, but REALLY enjoyed the lobster. Food gets delivered by boat to the back of the building and hauled straight into the kitchens. It's fresh and fabulous.

This pub has quickly become my new favorite! As you walk in and seat yourself at a table, you'll sense the local charm. The food is consistently fresh, and the draft list boasts an impressive array of unique options. The fried pickles were a standout – apologies for the picture taken post-indulgence! I personally loved the steak and cheese, though my husband found it a bit small; he's eager to return for the crispy fish and chips. The falafel sandwich had the right portion size, but it could use more sauce and veggies (not pictured). The fries are delicious, and the burgers are satisfyingly thick (also not pictured). Gluten-free buns are an option. My son raved about the wings, though he felt they were a bit pricey. Discovering this gem took us far too long, but we'll definitely be back!
