Top 27 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Explore in Charlotte Center City

Honestly, our waitress was not great. We didn't make it easy for her, with a large group, but she tried to charge us for several drinks more than once, forgot to bring out a gluten-free pizza and forgot one meal completely. We were joking about it when she took the order - it would have been easier had she taken notes of our order!

GLUTEN FREE REVIEW: Absolutely amazing experience with endless Gluten Free options available - both appetizers came with gluten free bread. All pizzas can be made on gluten free crust and pastas can be made with gluten free noodles! Bonus that there is no up charge for gluten free. The flavors of everything were amazing and the atmosphere was great! Our favorites were the mussels and whipped ricotta. Heads up that the chopped salad was spicy!! We didn’t get to try a gluten free pasta but will be back to do so!

Absolutely amazing! Introduced my son to French cuisine and oysters for the first time. Everything we tried was delicious, fresh and perfectly seasoned. We also appreciated the gluten free offerings, including pastries. I’ll add that the service was wonderful-we felt cared for and welcomed and my son enjoyed the staff sharing about different oyster types and asking about his experience. What a treat to repeat! Already planning our return…

One of our favorite Uptown restaurants — part of the Dressler’s restaurant group. We always have a great dining experience — and recommend “The Treatment” menu. You receive multiple dishes chosen by the kitchen — it is a great sampling of the flavorful creations. If you are looking for a smaller meal, definitely recommend the Poke bowl — it is absolutely delicious (if raw fish is your thing). The staff is very considerate when it comes to accommodating dietary restrictions such as gluten-free. The one downside is there have yet to be gluten-free desserts!

Nice restaurant inside the downtown Marriott. For those who need to eat gluten-free, quite a few options and the server we had was very knowledgeable. Open air concept next to a rather large bar. Food is sourced directly from local farms. Foid portions and quality very good and extremely convenient if going to an event at the Spectrum Center. Our server ended up being monopolized by another patron -- lots of chatter about personal history -- to the point that there was an extreme drop off in service to our table - drinks went dry, dirty dishes not removed,a very long wait to get our check. We would go back, but hope the service is better.

Service and Atmosphere was great! The place is in a beautiful spot in the middle of the city and has a beautiful aesthetic. But for anyone who has celiac/severe gluten intolerance, dairy intolerance, vegan or any other restrictions this place is not friendly to those options. My order was sent out wrong first with fries which was supposed to be a salad (the fries have gluten on them and was sent out with my plate anyways) and the burger was mushy raw. Sent back. 2nd time it comes out they send out 2 burger patties with no toppings on it like the first, no sauces, and the salad was supposed to be a beet salad with a lot of different toppings on it and they sent out lettuce, 2 tomorrows, and 4 radishes. I am difficult already when I eat out so it’s understanding but I did expect for such a high end place to have more options for GF. So unfortunately for anyone with restrictions the menu or chefs don’t really cater to us so be cautious. Otherwise the food was fine and everyone else’s looked pretty good! Make sure to arrive with plenty of time to find parking!!

Great Service & Pizza! The Margherita was on point, will definitely come back to try different options. They also have gluten free and vegan options.

The food was as expected from a tapas restaurant, nothing to rave about. The service was odd. We had a reservation and were seated at the top of the restaurant. When the server had approached us, she was very quiet and seemed disinterested like we were inconveniencing her. It was my first time at this restaurant and I asked for her to let me know which menu items were gluten free in which she took the menu to write what was available. She was very throughout with writing what was available. We then had another server approach us saying she was going to be taking over our table, while the other server was waiting tables there. The vibe from the servers was that we were inconveniencing them and they lacked the hospitality I would expect from a restaurant in uptown. I’m always very kind to servers so it threw me for a loop receiving this kind of poor service from a restaurant I was excited to check out. I’m thinking the servers at the top of the restaurant make less in tips based on how they seat people possibly based on their appearance and how nicely they’re dressed. Despite some of the food being good, the overall experience left a sour taste in my mouth.

I got a cubano sandwich on gluten-free rolls. There was plenty of meat, but it wasn't the right proportion of meat to cheese. Believe it or not, there was too much meat! The place has many alcoves providing seating. There were many potted plants. I was able to find metered street parking.

Church and Union had such a fun swanky atmosphere with a great lit up bar. Unfortunately, blinding lights from cars in the windows kept blinding me but still good energy. The best part was our amazing Waiter who went above and beyond in making sure i got gluten free options. Food overall was a let down for the price and atmosphere but still very good. I heard the brunch is where it’s at.

What a fantastic experience! We’d made a reservation for a 6PM dinner but showed up early because we were finished with the Mint Museum ahead of schedule—the museum is right up the street from Room 112, a seven-minute walk, FYI. But Room 112 seated us early and courteously. Our server, Nick, was wonderful. Nick checked on us frequently, refilled our waters constantly—I can’t tell you how often restaurant servers do not refill waters enough! I also mentioned that I had Celiac’s disease and we had a brief conversation about ingredients. As soon as I said something, Nick doubled-checked everything I ordered to make sure I could consistently avoid my allergen. By the time we left, the place was crowded. The sushi was delicious and the kitchen was willing to change my order slightly to accommodate the gluten allergy. We were also served gluten-free soy sauce upon request. Highly recommend. Affordable dinner uptown, convenient to activities!

Isabelle was so helpful! Very knowledgeable about menu and great feedback on our questions. Her drink recommendations were spot on and our food choices were good, especially with a gluten allergy! We did fish this time and can't wait to try a steak. Isabelle, we will be back. Thanks for a great time. Only reason for a 4 stars is it was loud and group next to us was having a great time and was hard to talk over them! Just an observation but glad to see everyone was enjoying themselves!

Melissa Horn

Absolutely wonderful! The waitress was lovely, and super knowledgeable on everything they had. I have a gluten allergy so it was super encouraging that they had so many options! I hope to come back next time we're in Charlotte!

Amazing! Tons of gluten free options, excellent lunch combos, and you can literally roast a s'more for dessert!! Overall fantastic, will absolutely come back. My only comment is the s'more dessert should be at least 2 smores 😂 you can't have just one (also maybe some GF graham's would be good, but I'll just bring my own next time haha)

Fantastic food with good gluten free items.

First time here and had such a lovely experience. Our waiter Carlos (I believe was his name) was amazing! I had to restrict myself from gluten and dairy and he made sure none of my food had that stuff. We enjoyed the scallops and the branzino.

I have celiac disease and I’m very thankful for your gluten-free options! It’s great to be able to recommend you to others!

Love the gluten/dairy free options and quick service!

Ms Alhadi

Hello my gluten-free friends, we have crave on the menu today. On their website it specifies what items are gluten free. So I ordered the steak which was delicious and the creme brulee. Just make sure that the creme brulee has dairy. Other than that it was so delicious and they were aware of the items that are gluten free. If you need extra reference they have a list or you can go to their website for more details. They also have vegan and gluten-free appetizers and or desserts. Definitely worth checking out

This was a wonderful experience. My first time here and for my birthday. The food was amazing and their gluten free options were great! I got the lobster risotto and it was delicious. Good cocktails too! Keyonna was so pleasant and very attentive. A must to visit!
