Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Asheville

Matthew Weld

If you are GF, this is the place; everything is gluten-free. We happened upon the summer menu filled with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend the cheddar biscuits, the beet appetizer, the braised short ribs, finished with the chocolate torte. Unique selection of cocktails, and the wine menu is extensive. My glass of Malbec was very good. Service was attentive, personable, yet not always in your space. Highly recommend!

My husband and I chose Strada for our wedding rehearsal dinner catering. Our wedding was originally the weekend of Hurricane Helene, but even amidst the chaos, the Strada catering team got in contact with us to communicate that their kitchen was down, and issued a prompt refund. When we rescheduled our wedding for June 2025, we reached out to see if they would be able to provide catering- this time, my husband was on a strict dairy, soy, gluten and egg free elimination diet. The Strada team worked with us to ensure he had a meal he could safely eat, and also worked to accommodate the vegetarians in our wedding party and my celiac disease. They clearly labeled every allergen, which made everything much easier when we served the catering at our venue- and the food was delicious. We were Strada fans before, but now we’re Strada stans! Highly recommend them for your catered event.

The best Gluten free breakfast around! I drive an hour to come here and I’m never disappointed

We've been twice and it is just so good. The gluten-free biscuits. You have to ask yourself if they really are. They are that good.

Barbara Gulten

We had salads and pizzas delivered for our large group one night. They were fast and efficient. Salads were fresh and delicious (Greek salad). The pizzas satisfied our cravings and went perfectly with the wine we had at home. Solid crust and ingredients. We had a guest that was gluten free and she was able to pick her option and enjoy a great pizza alongside everybody.

Kim Erb

A great experience from start to finish. My cousin has a gluten allergy and our waitress Carly and the manager Ian personally made sure everything was safe for her to eat. We appreciated going above and beyond for that. Try the elote dip!

Most items are Gluten-free

We stopped in for an early dinner tonight. It was our first time at Nine Mile and needless to say, it was amazing. We brought some family from out of town, some with dietary restrictions, and they had plenty of options for gluten free/dairy free meals. I had the Kingston 12 (not pictured) and would highly recommend it! We will definitely be back!

Laura Horowitz

IT WAS SO AMAZING I CAME HERE 3 TIMES IN A WEEK. I CANT RECCOMEND THIS PLACE ENOUGH. It deserves 7 stars. Everything is gluten free and celiac safe. all the staff is wonderful. Everyone was very accommodating and the owner Jason was absolutely kind beyond means. Each time I came here and tried something new. I can't even tell you that I've had a favorite because everything was new and had unique flavors. Just the fact that everything is gluten-free means that there's so many different options to try. I loved every flavor I had. The portions are huge! The food is fresh and everything is cooked there. There was not one bad thing I could say about this place. Theres not one thing that I disliked here. Id come back a million more times. From the whole fish, to the pandebono, to the fish stew with coconut milk, everything is to die for. Amazing restaurant and amazing quality. Everything is perfect. The food comes out fast too. Well done.

Kurt Lituma

Excellent service and best gluten free biscuit I've ever had!

Krifka Steffey

Stopped in here hoping to see some gluten free options and was surprised to find not only biscuits, but full brioche loaves! They also had THE only oatmeal cream pie I've had in over 15 years of being gluten free. Amazing!

Faith Chislock

Our waitress was incredible big shout-out to Sierra she was kind helpful attentive and sweet. The gluten-free buns were very delicious. I don't prefer a sports bar type setting but other than that the Ambiance was great.

Rachael Janson

Honestly, if you don't need gluten free then the food tastes good. But gluten sensitive and celiac please stay away. I got gluten and so so sick. The dish I had ordered was naturally "gluten free" and dairy free. Marked on the menu. The waitress seemed to acknowledge and act like they would be careful. Unfortunately, cross contamination happens here.

MOD pizza is easily one of the best custom pizza places around. I got to a point I was paying for thicker crust at places like Blaze Pizza but I absolutely love the thin crust at MOD because they don't burn it and the taste is amazing. A variety of topping choices and gluten-free options as well!

LaDonna Hollifield

Just had an unforgettable meal at Gemelli’s in Asheville and had to share! If you’re craving authentic Italian—think house-made pastas, risottos, and desserts that taste like they came straight from Italy—this is the spot. The atmosphere is cozy and European-inspired, perfect for a date night or family dinner. Favorites from our table: the cacio e pepe, calabrian scampi, and the cannoli (seriously, don’t skip dessert!). The staff is warm and attentive, and they offer gluten-free options too. Bonus: prices are reasonable for the quality, and there’s plenty of parking. Highly recommend Gemelli’s for anyone looking for a true Italian experience right here in Asheville! 🇮🇹✨

MaryAnn Barnes

This is a great place!! We enjoyed our delicious burgers & fries at the huge outdoor seating area with our 2 dogs. Their gluten free bun was pretty good too. We then shared a piece of their gluten free carrot cake and OMG!!! We'll definitely be back!

Robin Rose Alexander Hyatt

Best salmon I've eaten in a decade! How do you do what you do? I'm a 35+ year local, and from day one onward, the food is always excellent! I was so delighted by the many gluten free entree options, and the best treat was the *gluten-free* fried green tomatoes (which my husband and cousin always order everywhere we go, but I am unable to enjoy, myself) I had 2 all for myself since I never get to have any, and everyone agreed the were the best they'd had, anywhere! YUM!

Jax Hammond

Thank you Vinnie's for having Gluten Free pasta and for having the option to prepare the Chicken Marsala gf! If I had known that sooner I'd come every week!

Kate Hardwick

Excellent gluten free pizza!

Lo Hd

Buffet food is excellent& yummy server yatin help us for vegan & gluten free food thanks for plenty of choice

Laurie Tollman

Excellent quality "fast " food. I've eaten here many times. They have a variety of options, including vegan and gluten-free. Inside dining can be noisy. Outdoor dining in the backyard is preferable if the weather is nice. There's lots of picnic tables with umbrellas.

Andy Smith

Staff was careful with my gluten allergy. And the pork, chicken and brisket were all delicious.

Ken Healy

Shrimp and grits was way too salty and buttery. Angus burgers were overcooked and dry. Fries were also dry. Gluten-free bun exploded into powder at first bite. And all of it overpriced.

Bill L

Excellent place with lots of great options for vegan, gluten-free pastries. Only issue is few parking spots.

Phoebe Isaacs

This place smelled amazing before you ever go inside! The flavors are outstanding! Celiacs rejoice! Asian we can eat! This establishment uses the traditional tamari gluten free soy sauce and has rice noodles. Pad See Ew and Thai tea made my afternoon. The portions are HUGE in a laid back, casual, fun atmosphere.

Brent Knotts

Awesome people and food. Nice to see options for the gluten-sensitive

Ann Rich

I had never been here before. I hadn't eaten since breakfast and it was 5pm. The staff was really helpful in identifying the gluten and dairy free items on their menu. I ordered a simple chicken and vegetable stir fry and it was so delicious! Especially the sauce -which had a lot of ginger in it. The portion was enough for 2 people but I ate it all in one sitting -so good! I'll be back !

Melissa Savage

The staff was friendly, the cafe had a nice atmosphere and was very clean. Very interesting, healthy dishes. Great vegan and gluten free options. WARNING: They don't season their food even half decently. Make sure to salt your food thoroughly before you leave if you get takeout, or have salt and pepper on hand at home. Also, for a "healthy alternative that doesn't even salt their food properly" place, the lack of a nutritional guide, or any kind of calorie information available is a huge letdown. This place ultimately fails to be perfect for health nuts, or for people who want food to taste really good. But it was still a decent experience with food that was good after liberal application of my own seasonings.

Tori Fuhrmann

Best beef burger flavor wise I’ve had in avl. I am a fan of another top burger joint Juicy Lucy’s, but honestly I’d rather come here. Food is fresh, hot, and flavorful. They have gluten free options that amazed me-still wish they wouldn’t charge for a change of bun, however you can get it lettuce wrapped for free.

Maya Smith

Needed a quick early dinner- sandwiches were very good, staff was very friendly and attentive. We really appreciated the gluten free bread options!

The gluten-free fried chicken sandwich here is the best!

So good, I went there twice in the three days I visited Asheville. Walking in you immediately notice the mouth watering (to me) wood smoke scent. If, like some people I know, you dislike smoke, this Japanese smokehouse is not for you. I sat at the bar and went early. Service was attentive, and they remembered me and welcomed me back on my second visit. I tried the navy strength G&T, very tasty. Maybe more than the "Barking up the right tree", at least to me. Maybe I was feeling bitter that day? The trout was just perfect. Grilled fillets on skewers. Moist, medium rare, so tasty. Not a huge portion, but it was good for me by myself. Baby back ribs were bone in, with yakitori sauce and scallions. Sweet and savory, moist and perfectly done. The were six ribs which I couldn't finish myself. Marinated Beet salad was yummy - golden beets not red made the next day less scary. If you've eaten a lot of red beets, you know what I mean. Grilled mushrooms were really tasty, but a pretty small portion. Broccoli rabe was kinda fibrous, and the bacon topping was not crispy and kinda hard to eat with it. Maybe reconsider this one in the menu. Finally, the coconut cake by Chef Mom was so good. Butter cream frosting. Coconut ice cream on the side. The lady with celiac sitting next to me was green with envy. I felt a little bad.

Nathan Fisher

What a wonderful experience made possible by Michael and team. Reserved Table for a surprise engagement dinner and it far exceeded expectations. Michael worked ahead of time with me to pair down the menu to make things simpler for the kitchen staff. Pricing was a flat fee per person and we received that value if not more. Service was wonderful and we had the restaurant to ourselves by the end of the evening. The nut, dairy and gluten free member of our party was fully accommodated and even had altered appetizers brought out specifically for him. Can’t say enough about the food, still think about the hand made cavatelli and rabbit sugo. Michael even printed out a customized menu for us which we have since framed. Impeccable experience, wouldn’t have done it anywhere else. Cheers.

A wonderful atmosphere and delicious food! Most of the menu is naturally gluten free and the staff is very knowledgeable about gluten and cross contamination.

Ronald P. George Jr.

The Appalachian Egg Scramble at Village Social is a hearty and flavorful gluten-free breakfast option. For $17, you can enjoy a satisfying combination of creamy grits, savory andouille sausage, sweet onions, and sharp cheddar cheese. It's a great way to start your day at Biltmore!

Jessie was an amazing server - really helpful with advising on gluten free options, (I recommend the beef burger which is available as gfree on the day & late night menu). Good vibe, loads of TVs, great food and drink. Thanks Jessie! - from the British guys.

Natalie Nelson

Fantastic views with equally as great food! Our server was polite and sweet. We were celebrating our recent wedding (but we don’t drink) so they brought us adorable bubbly mocktails to cheers with, and complimentary dessert! They offer a variety of gluten free options. Brussels sprouts =amazing!! If you can make a reservation do it!

Chris Jacobs

The pork sandwich made like a Philly cheese steak was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I even got it on gluten-free bread and it was amazing. My friend and I used to go to Bull and beggar for the Monday burger special. Glad to have the baby bull back in action

Stella Laskey

Mark Quakenbush

Five stars all around for the smoked meatloaf, clear gluten free labeling and options, and brisket poutine. An extra five stars for Avis who confirmed all the gluten-free questions and options and made sure our GF diner was well taken care of! But seriously, the smoked meatloaf is amazing and easily made GF

Parsons Family

Daughter has celiac so always a struggle when traveling to find good food options. This is one you won’t be disappointed with. Food was good, service was good and they took caution with gluten allergy. Highly recommended!

Ariana Andrewes

My favorite restaurant in the area. Such fresh, healthy dishes, many of which can be made without dairy or gluten. The salad dressings are incredible! I rotate between the Back-A-Yard bowl (with tilapia), Kingston 12, Cool Runnings and the Nolan. Always so good even when you order takeout.
