Top 3 Gluten-Free Seafood Spots to Explore in Downtown Seattle

Phoenix Rising

Amazing gluten free options! And not just a bun substitute or fries - (although the fries were pretty tasty- bonus that they have a dedicated gluten free fryer!) I tried the gluten free fish and chips as well as the fried calamari and was pleasantly surprised at how tasty the batter was. The tartar sauce was delicious- not sweet, very tangy which I love! And the calamari was cooked perfectly- delicate texture and not a single piece was rubbery! The fish was crispy on the outside and wonderfully flaky on the inside. Will definitely be back to try their gluten free fried chicken sandwich next!!!

It’s kind of wild how busy this place gets, especially since the sushi was pretty subpar. The real perk is the clearly labeled gluten-free menu—huge win—and the happy hour prices make it more appealing. But let’s talk about the service. Hawaiian shirt and mustache man—yes, you—our waiter. You quite literally stopped serving tables mid-shift to hang out and laugh behind the bar with your friends. We could see you. It wasn’t slammed. You just… opted out. Our food was delivered by kitchen staff, we never got drink refills, and after our plates were cleared (thanks to the ever-diligent dish crew), we sat for another 30 minutes before finally flagging someone down to pay. As we were walking out, you cheerfully waved from behind the bar with a “Have a great day, y’all!” So… you did remember us? Despite the laughably bad service, the gluten-free options and happy hour prices might bring me back—but next time, I’ll cross my fingers for a different server.

All day and every day yes. I told myself I was going to be adventurous and not order their signature paella, but I ordered the paella 😀 The flavors and seafood was cooked to perfection, and I had enough to bring some home as well. I only wish that I had that char rice/ socarrat though there was like a little of it around the top of the paella pan. The wait staff was so attentive and recommended a delicious red (since I asked for red and enjoying their sangria) to go with the paella, so when she said it also tasted good with the gluten free cake I had to say yes. She spoke to me of her dreams of getting her sommelier certification- which I think she's already there!!

Had a wonderful meal here while in Seattle for business. Needed to take clients somewhere nice but also safe for me to eat with Celiac. Menu was clearly marked Gluten Free and both hostess and wait staff made extra notes that I had celiac. There is a decent amount of gluten free options to enjoy and not be left feeling like there’s only one or two things on the menu you can order. Had zero issues after eating and 12 hours later still feeling good. Atmosphere was awesome, oysters were fresh and amazing and the Scallops and Prawns were flavorful and delicious. Great meal and great night out.

This was a great find for us. The drinks were perfectly made. The food was exceptional. The best part was the service. We had 1 person in our group who was Gluten-free/Siliac. The chef and manager both came out to make sure they fully understood his diet and needs. They must have nailed it. He wasn't in pain before we left the restaurant or during the remainder of our evening. How many restaurants can say they care that much to make sure they get you and your health 100%? Very impressive!! I would highly recommend them for this very reason.

I have a lot of random and severe food restrictions (nightshades, gluten, and pork), so finding a place that is so conscientious and accommodating is a godsend! I was able to get clear information on ingredients and was even cautioned when I chose something I couldn't eat. It was pure heaven to be able to have so many options available to me! The staff was very helpful and friendly. The venue was spotless. All staff wore masks! And, the food was incredibly delicious! My only criticism is that the raw ahi tuna tasted watery and lacked in flavor. Otherwise, I was in heaven. I absolutely recommend this place!

Of all the places I ate on my 10 day vacation, this was, by far and wide, the best food and atmosphere experience. The server was very knowledgeable about allergies and made sure my Celiac self did not get glutened. I will gladly go back the next time I'm in Seattle.

Pho is gluten free and the broth is to die for

Delicious - a free gluten free options and the dole whip is awesome.

If you have Celiac and have to order GF, avoid the manhattan chowder. It’s essentially tomato soup with almost no clams with very little flavor. My family enjoyed the NE clam chowder.

We went here twice during our weekend visit in Seattle because it was such a wonderful experience. The food was incredible and the service was amazing. Both nights the servers were very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Both of us needing gluten free options, we were easily able to find something that worked for us. The seasonal watermelon salad was so delicious and the presentation of everything was just beautiful. Highly recommend this place!

If you’re looking for an INCREDIBLE seafood spot near Pikes, look no further. Growing up in New England I know my crab and lobster so at first I was skeptical this was a tourist trap. How wrong I was!! Everything from the ambiance, to the sevice, to the food is exceptional. The clam chowder was top notch in a fresh bread bowl and the crab roll is to die for! Filled with crab, lightly seasoned, and hefty portions. This meal knocked it out of the park for both my husband and I. And the entire staff was so friendly and attentive and it was overall a 10/10 experience and will definitely come again! Ooh and gluten free options avail too!! Huzzah!
