Top 10 Gluten-Free Take Away Spots Across Lake View East, Chicago

Emmy Johnson

Not the best experience. Our waitress gave us indifferent answers about how the gluten free food is prepared. We ended up having to talk to the manager (which is something I hate asking for). The food ended up being okay and I didn’t have any reaction. It was nice to have gluten free mac and cheese! I think our experience would’ve been much better if we had a more educated waitress

Liv G

Arepas are gluten free and delicious

Theresa Lenore “Tessa” Dumayas Campagna

Amazing gluten free Detroit style pizza! Thank you for my new North Side favorite go to. 😊

Jodi Meyer

The pulled pork nachos are gigantic! Definitely share them with friends. The Wrigley salad is like the team- don't underestimate. It's great! Try the Lance pizza. Gluten-free was delightful. Sarah answered all my questions about food sensitivities and helped make sure my experience was top notch. We will be coming back.

Loren Buder

Most amazing gluten-free donuts EVER, ANYWHERE! (That's we've been. Haha) Friendly staff. Open another location in San Diego!!

Cara S

Charles Earley

Lior Seidel

Really great crepes, all available gluten-free

Jessica Lanty

Amazing experience! Our waiter Kevin was amazing and so beyond helpful! Great gluten free options as well!

Laura Fittz

The best dinner i’ve eaten in Chicago. Gundis’s food, atmosphere, and service are second to none. Before dinner, my friend and I were feeling stressed and looking for a nice dinner. Upon entering Gundis, I instantly felt my shoulders relaxing. The chairs we sat in were so comfortable (!), the menu super clearly labeled (gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan), and our dinner (newroz pasta & salad with chicken) was delicious. highly recommend the Kurdish tea and Turkish coffee, too! Can’t wait to come back!

Erica De La Tejera

Delicious and coincidentally gluten free options! Allergy friendly options!

Marissa Averill

Super nice and happy staff, a few great gluten- free options! The Soy Horchata Hot Chocolate is so delicious!!!😊 Good music and a family like atmosphere

Aubrey Granderson

A delightful breakfast place with many options, including gluten free pancakes.

Kalina Neskoska

So many vegan options!! The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Their smoothies are AH-mazing and their dinner portions are a great size (leaves you leftovers). I don't know how they make their soy gluten but it's out of this world. Highly recommend for vegans and vegetarians!

Katie McKee

Our server also had celiac and guided me through the whole dinner. I had no reaction and the food was incredible. I can’t wait to go back!

Monica Kasper

We had a pleasant dinner at Si-Pie! The service was immaculate and we will definitely be back. The Lakeview East location is BYOB and has gluten free and vegan pizza. (14” BYO regular thin crust is shown in the pic)

Jodi B

Super cute vegan spot with gluten-free options. Delicious options and lovely interior.

Brandi Madar

The atmosphere of this place is 10/10! I loved the tiki bar / sushi vibes. It was cozy and inviting. They have a huge gluten free selection for food. The drink menu was great too. Everything was very aesthetically pleasing and tasty.

Selena Alvarado

they have Udi’s gluten free bagels available and an insane amount of combinations of bagels that are all delicious!

j P

Great place for my lunch break. The lunch specials are so so good, really well priced & fast. Love the soup too, and it's ready so quickly. (For gluten free they will give you rice or tortilla for the bread, and they have a lot of other gf options on the menu..)

Jason Kunowski

My family and I came here on our way to the Cubs game. Bluebird did not disappoint! It was hands down the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. The keto/gluten free chicken is quite tasty. The fries are phenomenal!! We continued to talk about how good the food was hours later! The portion sizes were excellent. The ambiance in the restaurant is welcoming and pleasant. The staff appear to take much pride in the food and are quite friendly. We will definitely be back and will tell others of our great experience!!!

Caitlin Body

Great service! I was able to get a gluten free pizza and my friends loved the stuffed pizza!

meir bamberger

I had a great experience at this restaurant. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant was very clean. The service was quick. The food was very good. The soup was absolutely delicious. There are plenty of options on the menu, including gluten-free. Full service bar available as well. The menu pricing was very good.

Yair Gittler

Great option for a gluten free person. I was craving so bad a good grilled cheese for long and this one didn’t disappoint at all 😁

Lexy Rae

I can’t say enough great things about this lovely place :) The food is amazing, but I think what really makes this place special is the staff. Everyone is so warm and kind, the service is excellent and on the two occasions I’ve been in the staff was very accommodating and sweet in helping me navigate the gluten free options. I’m so happy this gem is a short walk from me because I plan on visiting often!

Jenn Gherardi (Tisdale)

A fantastic ambiance with EXCELLENT sushi! I am a big Sashimi person, but I decided to get some rolls instead this visit and I was very pleased! We loved the music, staff, overall vibe, and the accommodations for my gluten allergy. I highly recommend getting on the wait-list, or making a reservation before enjoy a delightful meal!

Luke Ferris

They make delicious gluten-free cakes for any special occasion.

Meghan

A nice place to have breakfast. The waiter was friendly and welcoming. The place did seem understaffed. There was only one waiter who was helping multiple people inside and out as well as seating them. However he was very good at getting orders in and getting food out to you. I hope he gets some extra help in the future. The food was great. They have gluten free bread and pancakes which was very nice to see.

Kimberly Mueller

Amazing time spent at Pancake Cafe. We sat outside and soaked in the sun accompanied with aperol spritzes and cappuccinos. I was transcended back to mornings in Italy. Our server, Angie, was attentive and pleasant beyond belief. Both the regular and gluten free pancakes were delicious and fresh. Honestly the best gluten free pancakes I've had. We cannot wait to come back again!!

Izzy “Izzy” V

Great place for ramen. The prices are good and the portions were the perfect size. I received very warm, friendly, and quick service. This was my first time here and the staff were very patient and helpful so I was able to order the type of ramen I was craving. I love trying new dishes so I decided to add gluten friendly noodles and tofu to the pork ramen. The broth was delicious and flavorful. Its hard to pick my favorite part of the ramen but I think it’s important to say that the gluten friendly noodles are the best I’ve ever tried. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Hope to come back again soon

Jordan Dobrowski

Great option for gluten free folks. Reasonably priced for satisfying food. Staff have always been pleasant too.

Friedaz Life

This place is the best. Bring cash, they do not accept anything else. The food is fresh and healthy and awesome. This place is heaven sent. You can even buy Gluten free loafs of bread. Just the bomb ass place!!!!!!!!!

Danielle Florina

We were in search of a quick, healthy meal and we found Sila’s. Accommodating to food allergies, the menu was clearly labeled. We had the Mediterranean chicken bowl which was easily made gluten and dairy free. Served in generous portions, the food was fresh and natural which is hard to come by these days. Will definitely be returning!

Callie Bunker

Menu clearly indicates gluten free items. Server was kind and was able to indicate order was for celiac. Went there was they were having a special on the marg flight. Outdoor seating was plentiful, good energy on the patio

David Stone

A true Chi-town neighborhood gem made special by the super friendly staff and cozy (tiny!) atmosphere. Food is very good too. Brilliant vegetables (so hard to find in chicago), basque inspired tapas and unique entrees with a seasonal menu. Charred broccoli was amazing. Parsnips were very good, as were boquerones. Special of the day was a perfectly grilled branzino with tortillas and a lovely pureed red pepper salsa. Wines were okay, but limited by glass (more interesting options by bottle). Dessert was limited to just one option: a basque cake very rich in both dairy and gluten, leaving no dessert option for folks with two common allergens (it sounded great though). And also slightly disappointing, they only have full strength espresso, no decaf coffee of any sort (though they are certainly not the only local restaurant to forego decaf). Overall, mfk. is a winner. Solid 4.5 ⭐️ if I could give it that. Sit at the bar. Order to share. Expect a great time.

We ordered a takeaway for five people - all burgers. I have never seen such sad looking tasteless burgers in my life. The burgers themselves were paper thin overcooked and hard as a rock. We had some specific requests: /without onions/ one with no cheese etc/’ none of them came the way we asked. The fries were ok but way too much pepper. In addition they were all packed and not marked which is which - turning it into a guessing game - particularly annoying and some were gluten free and there is no room for guesses like that! All in all a waste of money and food, most ended up in the trash.

David Acosta

Thai Haven (the new name) Under new ownership, Thai Haven is now run by TK, who has Thai heritage and a deep understanding of the cuisine. As someone who frequently travels to Thailand, this restaurant truly captures the essence of Bangkok's street food. I ordered the Pad Thai with extra spice, while my partner enjoyed the vegetarian and gluten-free version. The food was excellent, and we were even treated to a complimentary spring roll appetizer. What truly made our experience memorable were the friendly and helpful staff, both of whom were native to Thailand and had a delightful attitude. Despite living in Chicago for years, there were no language barriers. It was a pleasure to converse with them in my limited Thai. We plan on returning often for the fantastic food, reasonable prices, and outstanding service.

Megan Stephenson

This place is really good! We had a great dinner and never felt rushed. The food is delicious though it is pricey. The drinks are also great, and have a very herby theme (rosemary cocktails, artichoke negroni, etc). They have gluten free pasta, and gluten free meatballs.

Maria Carioti

My fiancé and i came here for the first time last night and our experience was amazing! 10/10. the vibe of the restaurant is so cute and cozy and the service was wonderful. i was recently diagnosed with a gluten allergy and a mild dairy allergy and they were incredibly accommodating. my fiancé and i both ended up getting the chicken and it was probably the best chicken i have ever had in my life!!! we will definitely be back!

Caitlin Body

This place is a great breakfast spot. It has gluten free options but is known for its glutenous cinnamon rolls.

Daniel Cannon

I love Lark! It's one of my favorite places to go for dinner in Boystown. You absolutely must order breadsticks. Even if you're not hungry. Even if you're avoiding carbs. Even if you have Celiac disease. They are absolutely to die for. Pizzas are always good, but I tend to order either salmon or the steak frites. The salmon is always wonderfully fresh and well prepared, and always served on top of delicious seasonal vegetables with either a great balsamic reduction or a fresh, delicious pesto sauce. The steak frites is always great too, and they're perfectly happy to sub out the frites for veggies (I'm not opposed to potatoes, but they're seasonal vegetables are just always excellent!) Drinks are good and fairly priced. Nice selection of wines by the glass and bottle. Oh, and the service! Always friendly! Always helpful! This place is truly a gem.

Amanda Sweetman

My husband and I love everything from here. They're also so accommodating to swap regular noodles for gluten free noodles and use gluten free soy sauce. It's our go to for comfort asian food.

Ergolgo

Very good Mexican food. Some very nice cooker inside (for French stranger too😜) ingredients are quality and the price is very low and it's very good for gluten free people of vegeris people

Laura

Very helpful. I can’t have gluten and they made sure everything was safe for me. Everything was very fresh as well!

Maya Lorentz

Possibly the best pizza I’ve ever had, esp the bacon jam pizza. Zazas is the only pizza place I will break my gluten free diet for😎

Tyler Stoltzman

Went here for our ma’s birthday while visiting Chicago for a show at Wrigley Field and it was fantastic! She has celiac disease and they can make any of their pastas Gluten Free which was awesome. We’ve been to some nicer Italian places but this was some of my favorite. Highly recommend!

Anastasia

Love the atmosphere here! Very cozy and intimate, with some nice outdoor tables in the summer. Great wine selection, good food options, including many vegetarian/pescatarian/gluten-free choices. I thought the sole fish was amazing and I enjoyed the Malbec wine, which pairs well with any dish. The service is also great! Very nice staff and usually pretty quick service. Also, you can bring your dog if seated outside. I highly recommend if you were interested in trying Turkish or Mediterranean food!

Max Martinelli

Gluten free options Fast service Consistent and reliable Tasty and not oily

Shea Elise Michals

Wakamono Sushi was outstanding! Being gluten free, I was able to enjoy an amazing night out with friends, and didn’t worry about cross contamination. The servers were GF educated, and they even made some items special without gluten. On top of all this, the sushi was incredible. Try the Spicy Scallops and the Spicy Trio. Amazing, I’m definitely coming back 🥳

Elizabeth Davidson

Erin was the best waitress ever. so nice and accommodating to my friends celiac disease and made sure we were taken care of every second!!!!
