Top 25 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Explore in Rio Grande, Salt Lake City

I am not vegan or vegetarian. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked zest. I got the mushroom alfredo pasta and it was so good. We also got nachos to share - which if you don’t think about it as nachos and more just a chip and dip dish then it’s delicious. The roll was also pretty good and the dessert was amazing

The food was excessively delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the well-portioned cachapas, and the table cream was the perfect contrast to the sweet cheesiness. Best of all, its gluten free!

We love Caffe Molise! It's our go-to date night spot in SLC! We have enjoyed many dishes on the menu and have loved every one. My favorite have been their salmon specials (especially the lemon curry salmon), my husband loves the pasta. The cheesecake is incredible. Our most recent visit we brought friends who needed accommodations for celiac (gluten-free) and the restaurant was amazing! Very gluten-free friendly!

Best sushi ever. Try the Romeo and Juliet and dandelion 😍 also my wife is gluten free and they can make all the rolls gluten free!

First off, I'm from out of town and these guys are way way better then Spencer's. Secondly, I have celiacs and they guided me on what to order and I didn't get sick. I'm writing this the next day so if you have celiacs you know. Third, the wine in all bottles is protected by argon, which is heavier than air. You'll never have a bad wine at this place and they have a selection. Fourth, service is great. Fifth, food was great. If I come back to Salt Lake, I'll bring my fellow travelers here. With that I give them 5 stars on every thing.

My husband made reservations here for my birthday dinner. We are both gluten free and he called to ask about options beforehand and was told that “most everything can be made GF”. We arrived on time and they had personalized “Happy Birthday” menus at the table waiting for us. That was a nice touch! The mocktail was amazing. One of our starters was lacking flavor but I believe it was due to lack of bread it would normally be served with. The harissa carrots were delicious. Our entrees were bison and pork tenderloin. The bison was ordered medium well but came out very very cooked. The mole sauce saved the dish. The pork tenderloin was very dry and lacked flavor, the accompanying vegetables were delicious. I ended up sending the pork back and ordered the sea bass instead. The plating and textures were incredible but the entire dish just lacked flavor for me. The combination of items on the plate just didn’t complement each other. The yucca was very bland. All of our proteins lacked salt, I don’t know if it was an oversight or how the chef prefers the proteins to be cooked. Dessert was a flourless chocolate torte that was incredible. Overall plating and service were excellent. They didn’t question replacing the pork entree and always checked on us to make sure everything was ok. My partner was let down that only a few dessert options were gluten free and some entrees were entirely out of consideration which was in opposition to what he had understood previously when calling to ask about GF options. I have to wonder if we had an off day because the google reviews are mostly amazing. They did a fantastic job of making it a memorable birthday experience. I just found the flavors and proteins very much lacking overall.

My husband and I ate here for our anniversary. Every single thing we ate was delicious and the service was great. Couldn’t be happier with the experience. Can’t wait to come back! Also I’m gluten free and they did have a gluten free menu and were able to accommodate changes to any specials I ordered to make it gluten free.

Damian was super nice! My wife ordered a gluten free item (due to celiac) and he changed out his gloves, and was just very happy and nice. Great experience with him.

The server was friendly. But my husband and I ordered all you can eat sushi, and it took quite a long time for the first helping. In fact, I had to ask at the front desk where our food was. The sushi itself was good, though it seemed room temperature, neither cold nor hot (for the "seared" pieces). My daughter and her friends thoroughly enjoyed their hot pot meals. But it continued to take quite long for our sushi orders to appear, and there was a 2-hour limit on sushi orders. Is it on purpose that it takes forever to be served sushi orders, so that one cannot eat much sushi in that time frame? Also, our drink refills tended to take a long time as well. I want to give this place a good rating...it's hot pot feature seems very well run, but the sushi side needs work. Also, offering more gluten-free and dairy-free options would be nice.

Asked the server about gluten free options and was told that everything could be made gluten free, so I ordered my preferred dish. When the chef came out he was clearly not informed of this until I spoke up, he was clearly shocked at what I had been told. He informed me I couldn’t have any of the sauces, the fried rice, the sauce that actually came with my dish, the soup, or the salad dressing. I was told I’d get steamed rice instead of the fried rice, which never actually came. And I was told I’d get two salads without dressing, since I couldn’t have the soup, but I only got one. I was still charged for all of the courses even though I could only eat two of them, with no sauce or dressing. I paid $50 for a bland piece of tofu and raw undressed vegetables. And I still got sick, and I had to leave early. Very embarrassing experience while out to dinner with co-workers. Do not eat here if you have dietary restrictions. The servers are clearly uninformed, and they did not care about providing substitutions and still charged me full price anyway.

Great place! Very accommodating and knowledgeable about alternatives for gluten-free. Waiting staff was also awesome! Open table said there were no reservation available but went anyway and our group of 3 got a table almost immediately. Second time, made a reservation for 6 and was able to change to 8 before showing up. Would definitely go back and have the Elk!

Valter’s is an iconic restaurant known for its delicious food and incomparable service. The atmosphere is lovely and vibrant. Our server was great but it was all the other staff that really made this a memorable experience. I have celiac and was brought a pasta dish that was recommended. It tasted like chunky tomato sauce poured out of a can directly on my gluten free pasta. When our server noticed I wasn’t eating it, she immediately replaced my food with a different dish. Management came over to me several times to apologize and to make sure I was satisfied. We were never charged for my entree. Great evening with very attentive staff and management. All of my family said their food was delicious but it was the service that made the evening.

Portion sizes are obviously ridiculous, but the food is good. All gluten free options are marked up on the giant menu. We sat outside in the shade, but on a hot day the air conditioning inside can be very welcome. One of the few restaurants open within the mall on a Sunday.

These tacos were amazing. I ordered the Carne Asada and the Pastor. Both meats were flavored so well. The corn tortillas knocked it out of the park. I could taste that they were freshly made. I wish they were a couple of bites bigger each but so does everyone who enjoys tacos. I also ordered a side of rice. The flavor was outstanding and again the freshness was evident. I went there because I knew they could do gluten free options. This is critical for me as someone with celiac. Before ordering I asked the manager about both gluten free ingredients and cross contamination. Everything checked out with me and I didn’t get sick. I will definitely work this place into my rotation when I am downtown for work.

Excellent burger. No gluten-free buns available but they were able to serve my burger up on some lettuce. They use grass fed beef which tasted great. The music inside was way WAY too loud but it was really nice weather outside and they had a nice place to sit out on the street side patio. Enjoyed my food and my visit.

Dee Benson

Absolutely lovely evening. Super tasty and Andrea our server was incredible. Also they have Gluten Free and other food allergies labeled on the menu and we really appreciate that.

Located inside the Hyatt Hotel connected to the Salt Lake Palace Convention Center. Ohhhh this is worth a stop! The food was high quality and you can tell the chef took time to pair the foods beautifully. The oysters were by far the best that I've had in years. Scallop was amazing but the shining star was the Uni toast.... Never having had sea urchin like that it was a beautiful crunchy and smooth combination. For dessert we had the lemon custard and the hot chocolate. While I would prefer a few more gluten-free options or modifications I will be coming back to try the lunch menu! Additionally the sound level is perfect. You can still hear your neighbor and it's not loud and equally. Perfect to take someone who has hearing loss.

Oh skinny fats how I love you! Let me count the ways. Our loves goes back to 2012 when I first tried your amazing eats in Las Vegas. I wasn’t gluten free at the time but someone in my party was, so they had picked this place. It’s been a while and I know the menu has changed but I remember LOVING their vegan root beer floats. A vegans dream to be able to have milkshakes or floats again! Vanilla soy ice cream. Yum.

We love fries and waffles! They have gluten free waffle too.

Samantha Benjamin

Delicious!!!! Servings were generous, and were very careful about our gluten allergies. We enjoyed the spring rolls, massaman curry, and fried rice! Highly recommend this independent Thai restaurant!

L Stapler

Creative dishes that make your taste buds pop and scream. We enjoyed everything we ordered, it was all so packed with flavor. They were very good to accommodate gluten-free options. Definitely a "must try".

Matthew Wilson

Very good. I loved that they know allergies and have a gluten free menu.
