Top 16 Gluten-Free Seafood Spots to Discover in Boston

Molly McCown

Thank you for changing gloves when handling the gluten free cannoli. Much, much appreciated :)

Grace Innamorato

Absolutely amazing! The staff is thoroughly trained and managers bring allergies to the table. They even use a black napkin under allergy plates as a signal to all employees that the dish is an allergy. They use casarecce GF pasta - so they can know it’s GF just by looking at it. I felt incredibly safe eating here, and I got an almond flour cannoli!

I went here with two girlfriends and sat at the bar. We order the beans, the hummus with arugula and prosciutto and a gluten free crust pizza. All of it was spectacular. The pizza crust was a think crust - but texture and flavor were spot on! The bean dish was out of this world and the sauce was excellent. Cocktails were also good and service impeccable. Highly recommend.

We went for Dine out Boston. The food was fantastic and they also had gluten free options too!

High energy and lively place with an extensive menu and good wine list. The Gluten Free selection is outstanding. The food was great with lots of things to share. It can be loud when it's busy.

Our main reason for writing a review is Harold. Harold was our waiter today. It was PACKED and he must have been slammed with tables, however he was super attentive, made us feel heard and took priority in ensuring my allergy was accommodated for. His overall persona was just amazing. I would recommend to come here just based off of Harold’s service. However, we went for my dad’s 58th birthday. The food was great. Atmosphere was so great (never felt rushed, and you were able to hear each other and videos). They also had GREAT options for gluten free. All fried foods are gluten free, they have key lime pie, New York cheesecake and other desserts that are gluten free as well.

Lexi Howell

Excellent experience here. Ordered a burger with GF bun and fries. No problems.

Ana Chrzanowski

Great if you’re just celiac but they made all the adjustments with my meal for my dairy allergy also. Justine was fabulous!! Will definitely be coming here again when we next visit Boston. The lobster roll was AMAZING!!

Marissa Gillis

Great place!! The service was top-notch, the inside is a bit cramped (it's the north end) and wicked hot inside but otherwise good! The real star was of course the food. Hands down amazing from the appetizer to the main course- and they accommodated all my allergies very well! I'm GF and DF, they were able to do a lot and had Vegan options too. I'm celiac, felt safe and didn't get sick. Highly recommend.

Matthew Fanning

Everything we ate was fantastic. My wife is gluten free, one of the managers marked up a menu to layout her choices. Highly recommend the house made ricotta!! A bit loud, but that’s because everyone was enjoying themselves.

Alejandro A

Expensive but really good. Great service and they have gluten free options!

Keith Dosik

This place is so cool! Great vibes, friendly and quick servers plus the food is fantastic. All of the gluten free options are delicious, especially the churros. It was really fun to be able to eat tacos and oysters at the same time.

Twana B

We really enjoyed our lunch at Luke’s! They have gluten free options too! I had the GF seafood sandwich flight with lobster bisque and it was delicious! I don’t know how that bread is so soft and still GF! My non GF spouse really enjoyed his meal as well. Service was super friendly. Lots of locals eating there.

Kerry-Ann Parsons

Really cool place, easy to do a takeout order. Lots of parking around. I had the Gluten free fish and chips with fries. Pretty good, but not excellent. I was glad to find gluten free, dairy free and soy free in Boston.

Amber Easterling

One of my favorite places to eat when visiting Boston! Gluten-free fish and chips is very hard to come by! I appreciate their “gluten free promise” for safe GF food!

Althea Shippey

Tommy did fantastic service - party of five where 3 are gluten-free is objectively difficult but he came through fabulously. He even gave me a version of the menu where he had marked off everything that couldn't be made gluten-free.

Caitlin O'Donnell

It was a great time. They provided gluten free rolls and regular to support allergies st our table. The lobster Mac and cheese was 56 dollars so I passed on that. Loved the cheesecake for dessert!

Antonio Gutiérrez

Boston restaurant with gluten-free options. Variety of burgers and very friendly waiters. Recommended

Adam K.

Great restaurant and tasty meals. We had the nachos as our app and Corned beef sandwich with fries and my wife and daughter had sandwiches. They had gluten free buns which was good for my daughter. We would return again. Finding a parking spot is a challenge since the streets have signs that say permit parking only for the local residents.

Ken Boostrom

The only Gluten Free Clam Chowder in Quincy Market is served here as well as scallops wrapped in bacon. The stuffies are tasty and a good choice for a quick seafood snack. Clams, Fries, Scallops are all on the menu here - a good bunch of people work here. The offer a good variety of sandwiches here. Crabmeat, shrimp, fried calamari, fish rolls - New England Seafood is the them here.

Sonia

Absolutely wonderful experience from beginning to end. I was surprised to find they carried gluten free dinner rolls and were very Celiac aware. This is a fantastic experience with a great wine selection for a special night out.

Adrian Mendez

I LOVED THIS PLACE!!! The host team was helpful when I needed to change my reservation time, which saved me some stress. I felt accommodated before even stepping foot into the building. I made a trip to Boston in search of a great scallop dish, and Atlantic Fish did not disappoint. Tim, my server, gave incredible recommendations for options on the menu. He was also extremely attentive and aware when it came to celiac needs. The gluten free bread was exceptional and the dish was worth every penny. I loved that the dish came with two sides so I had the chance to try a few options. The sparkling moscato was refreshing and the crème brûlée was the perfect cherry on top of the meal. Tim helped find some local gluten free spots for the rest of my trip, which was extremely helpful and locked in Atlantic Fish’s spot on my itinerary next time I am in town!

Frank Haviland

Row34 is nicely seated in the wonderful waterfront district of Boston. They offer many fresh seafood options which make you feel like you plucked them from the ocean yourself. One of the really unique and enjoyable dishes we shared were their mussels which were steamed in a spicy infused Asian sauce. Row34 also offers the ability to accommodate food allergies, specifically Gluten Allergies. If you are looking for seafood prepared in a unique and tasty way, I would suggest stopping at Row34.

Could not be in Boston without going here! First time I tried a lobster roll. It was alright only because I'm not a huge fan of lobster. They were gluten intolerant informed and suggested the lobster roll without the bun but did not have gluten free buns. Service was good. Atmosphere was unique and fun.

Courtney Cox

Kevin was great! I have celiac, and he walked me through the menu and told me to avoid certain things due to cross contamination. The batter for their fish is GF, so I was able to get fish n chips which were delicious! So grateful to have legal in multiple airports as a meal option for long layovers!

Wait can be long but we arrived around noon on a weekday and only waited 5 mins. At 3pm the day before, the wait would have been about 2 hours. Restaurant is very tiny. Everyone is very friendly and service was great. Now... on to the food! The chowder was delicious with tons of flavor; the broth wasn't too thick, more like a stew. Hot lobster roll was excellent, loaded with meat and fries were very good. My girlfriend who has Celiac really appreciated the option of the hot lobster roll with a generously portioned arugula salad instead of fries which were not gluten free. She raved about the anchovy lemon vinaigrette! I will never let my girlfriend forget her $16.50 blood orange Bellini which she very much enjoyed. Neptune Oyster is a definite must in Boston!

I could give The Chart House a 5 star on the food alone all day long, but we had a particularly great experience today. My daughter, unfortunately, has celiac disease and it has been a real challenge to find places to accommodate her while also having good food. She loves clam chowder, but has mostly resigned herself to the fact that it's made with flour and only enjoyed as a memory. I had called and spoke with Brian the restaurant manager to ask about gluten free options. I told him about me daughter's plight and he surprisingly told me that the chef could make clam chowder gluten free. When we went to the restaurant today for lunch, they had prepared it just for my daughter. It sounds silly, but I was almost tearful seeing the smile on face and watched her devour a bowl full of the best clam chowder ever. I cannot say enough for this restaurant. The food was superb, but the reason to have a restaurant in the first place was evident in that smile on my daughter's face. Thanks Chart House. Can't wait to come back.

Living in the South End all my life, I’ve been blessed with so many unique restaurants nearby. We even have a seafood boil restaurant! Bootleg Special’s seafood boil is amazing and the garlic noodle is a must! The drinks are super fun and the vibe, NOLA speakeasy. Love it. Yesterday was the first time I stopped by for brunch and it has to be Boston’s best brunch spot! It is great for dates, girls outing, friends and family gatherings. Let’s just say it can accommodate any occasion because it’s such a fun and unique experience. I really enjoyed their brunch menu which include soufflé pancakes, bootleg Benedict, and brunch garlic noodles. They also have MANY gluten free options. I’ve also tried their newly launched menu item, the ConeNado and my favorite was the lobster clam chowder! Super fun and delicious! This is a must visit!

Sully’s never disappoints. Been coming here for 50 years and it’s always great. Fast service, good food, good prices, friendly staff. Sully’s has expanded its menu over the years and there should be something for everyone. I’m so happy they have included GF rolls and ice cream cones. My grandson has Celiac disease and now he can once again enjoy our trips to Castle Island and “ Sully’s” They provide everything you can ask for plus a great setting. Great place to walk, fly a kite, let kids use the playground, etc. The area offers great views and scenery. One of Boston’s true treasures. Very little has changed over the years and that in this case is a good thing.

Jessica Harrison

Waitress was unattentive, we did not get water or condiments. Instead of asking what substitute I wanted l the waitress had it made unseasoned when there were several gluten free options listed on the menu. My husband waited 30+ minutes for her to walk by to ask for salt.

Sue Davis

Delicious, fun lunch date after the MFA. We had a mixto cerviche which was chock full of seafood & shrimp. Instead of the Baja citrus style, this had a creamy sauce. I am gluten free and they made us a batch of corn tortilla chips, otherwise the 4 sweet potato (?) chips that came with the dish would not have been enough. THE RIBS!!! OMG, I’ll return just for these! Succulent, all meat, fell off the bone. The BBQ sauce was fantastic. Chicken tacos were also tasty & had abundant filling. Great service, our waiter was so nice. However, the food took quite a while to come considering we were the only customers at 3 pm on a weekday. Parking on Newbury St is always challenging, just keep circling the area til you find something. We recommend Puro!

michelle fournier

Great food...vegetarian and gluten free options...and great service!

Amber Easterling

Almost everything on their menu is either gluten free or can be made gluten free. I had the best fish and chips I’ve had in years!

Garrett Simerson

The local oysters and lobster ravioli were 🔥. Numerous gluten-free options for my wife. And Judy brought it home with excellent service.

Kevin Wanamaker

The food and service are fantastic here. If you need gluten free food options, our servers were highly knowledgeable about GF options and accommodating with accommodating changes to dishes. The seafood is fresh and delicious. Highly recommended.

Stephanie Brackett

Sooooooo good. The hot buttered lobster roll was the best. I tried both but I like the hot buttered better. And they offer gluten free buns, which somehow they make taste better than any other Udis GF bun I have had. Excellent.

Fantastic restaurant. They have turned the whole pier into outdoor seating with ample spacing between tables. The food was fantastic - I had the best blackened swordfish tacos. Gluten-Free options available.

Shirley Plotnikov

This was a great mom and pop place with fantastic food,... And were able to bend over backwards for my absolutely gluten free child...nearly everything is fried as long as you know that and are ok with fried,... Many options on the fish and chips department! Even had live lobster in tanks which we had fried!!

Sabrina Lois

Ideal for celiacs! The waiter at another restaurant at the airport told me to go to this one as a celiac, because they are careful about cross contamination, they have Gluten Free bread, and I will be able to order everything. The truth is that when we arrived we asked and they told us no problem. The waitress who served me was super friendly and took great care with my food. He recommended several things to me and the truth is that I was quite happy and everything was very delicious. It's a pleasure to always eat celiac food here.
