Really lovely place for a healthy, delicious meal. I’m gluten-free so I appreciated that that was the default (instead of having to parse through the menu to find the GF options).
My partner and I ordered the Tibetan Mama and Saag Bota. Both were flavorful and we loved that they were filling but didn’t leave us feeling heavy afterwards. The staff were also friendly and welcoming, and helpfully walked us first-timers through the menu.
We’ll happily eat at Le Botaniste again!
Experience a vibrant atmosphere with beautiful decor, unique outdoor cabins, and delicious, thoughtfully crafted dishes perfect for any outing.

As a gluten free girlie, this is one of my favorite places to eat when I'm in the city. I get the pad thai and it's consistently delicious. Also, the staff is always attentive but today Kade helped me and she was absolutely lovely. Kind smile, super sweet, and on point with everything! Loved it.
A long-standing gem on the Upper East Side, known for high-quality, less greasy dishes and all-day dim sum that keeps everyone coming back.

This place has been around the upper east side for a very long time and it never disappoints! It's definitely pricier than other Chinese places in the area but they serve higher quality food that is less greasy, less sweet, and less salty. They also serve dim sum all day. With all that being said, some of their dishes are still catered to the western palate but it is still better than other places in the area.
Here are some of my favorite items from them
Fried egg rolls. Their egg rolls are legit. It's giant, filling and crispy.
Hot and sour soup. Very good and filling. Perfect for colder days.
Walnut prawns. Very big prawns that are flavored in this nice sweet and savory white sauce with fried walnuts.
Sautéed pea shoot. Very good while getting your fibers in.
Shrimp with black bean sauce and mined pork. Very good and flavorful.
Turnip cakes. Delicious and crispy.
Chives and shrimp patty. Lots of flavor.
They also have lots of gluten free options here. Service is always top notch. Overall a solid spot on the UES
This spot is a must-visit for those craving an impressive variety of gluten-free options, with a cozy vibe that makes every meal enjoyable.

I abide by a mostly vegan/gluten free/refined sugar free lifestyle, and I am delighted to have goodsugar near my office for breakfast and mid-day snacks. So far I’ve indulged (guilt free, of course) in the following amazing items: coffee parfait, berry beauty parfait, matcha parfait, overnight oats (oatmeal), and the pecan bar. I love the parfaits, thought everything has been solid—with ingredients I can *trust*. And, I love the fun little sticker “fortunes” on the glass jars. A beautiful concept inside and out! Can’t wait to try the buffalo cauliflower soon.
With an array of delicious treats, this spot is a go-to for those seeking comforting flavors and fun meal ideas for busy mornings.

I absolutely love this place.
They have the best coffee on the UES.
The PDQs are amazing. I get them fresh and also their frozen cook-at-home bags…my kids love them so they are a real life saver when out of breakfast ideas!
I would also recommend the chocolate chip banana bread muffins and loaves. I am not gluten free - I eat these because they are delicious! I had been eating them for years before I even noticed the “GF” label on the bag. Now I get them for all my friends who ARE gluten free.
The molasses cookies and strawberry muffins and apple cakes - when in season - are amazing as well.
An Italian gem, lost in a sea of competition, jumps to life with its remarkable risotto, unrushed ambiance, and eye-catching decor.

I order take out from here all the time but recently went in person. They have the best homemade marinara sauce I've ever had. My friend who dined with me can't have gluten. She ate her entire bowl of gluten free pasta, which was massive. I will order from here again and again. They have a few tables out front if you want to take in the elements.
This hidden gem offers a vibrant atmosphere and a diverse menu, perfect for those with dietary restrictions while ensuring an authentic experience.

Gela and the rest of the staff at Oda House gave us an experience to remember. There was a great atmosphere, fantastic service, and delicious food. It is perfect for someone who is gluten-free too. We had Georgian wine, the appetizer sampler, entrées, Maya’s cake, and tea. I would recommend Oda House for anyone looking for a great night out and a new cultural experience.
Unsure which was better: the tapas or the service! Our server asked us about allergies and was extremely accommodating by letting us know exactly which tapas contained gluten and separating one piece when possible etc. The sangria was quite nice despite not typically enjoying sangria as it was not overly sweetened. Would definitely recommend for a date or a group!
Charming family-owned spot with hand-painted murals, fresh handmade pasta, and a warm atmosphere that locals love for its authentic vibes.

I absolutely love going to Mediterraneo! My go-to order is the gluten-free margherita pizza (the crust is extra crispy) and a fresh salad — the perfect combo. The vongole is also amazing!!! This family-owned gem is a true neighborhood treasure. Melania is the warmest, most welcoming presence, she gives the best hugs. It truly feels like walking into your favorite aunt’s home for dinner. Places like this are what give the Upper East Side its charm and sense of community. Can’t wait to return!
Bustling with charm, this cozy spot serves up impeccable pasta in a vibrant setting, making reservations a must for a delightful experience!

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! The Cacio Pepe was the best ever! The gluten free version was as good , just a different pasta . The lasagna was crazy good, the best in nyc to date ! Make sure you make a reservation, it’s small and busy. Full bar, great wine selection. The cappuccino was made perfectly, the cannoli was the perfect finish ! Jessica was our server, friendly, knowledgeable and very nice. Enjoy
Expect massive, satisfying burgers and fast service, but be mindful of extra charges and skip the fries if you're cautious.

Excellent burgers. Be careful, come if you are hungry. Fries are extra but you won't regret coming to eat here! The service is fast. Gluten free options are available. You will find burgers with very thick and juicy meat!
We booked lunch at this place because one of the group had seen the film of the same name. Generous portions: we couldn't finish our plate, and we had to share the dessert, which was equally large, to be able to taste it. Gluten-free dishes available. Precise and attentive staff.
Known for consistent quality and timely service, this spot is a favorite for large orders and offers standout vegan cheese and delicious pasta dishes.

This place is actually amazing. I have only ever placed very large orders (between $200-$400 worth of food) for work parties and the food quality has been consistently great, the food is always ready for pickup on time and the staff is very friendly. You cannot go wrong with choosing this place for lunch or catering. They also cater to both dietary restrictions we have in our workplace - dairy-free and gluten-free. Their vegan cheese is the best on the market because it actually melts and doesn't have a weird texture. They always make sure to give us a separate, still wrapped pizza cutter with the taped up gluten-free pizza as well.
P.S. Do not look over their pasta dishes. We only recently started ordering those and they are a HIT with my coworkers.
Featuring a cozy vibe and beautifully crafted dishes, it's the perfect spot for enjoying a leisurely meal with great conversation.

3 of us enjoyed the pre-fix menu dinners. We all ate every bite of these delicious and beautifully presented dishes: tuna tartar, mixed greens salad, lobster dumplings, Atlantic Salmon, steak frites, pecan pie with homemade pumpkin ice cream, gluten free lava cake with home made vanilla ice cream, and homemade berry sorbet. Service was very friendly and attentive. I loved the fact that we could converse comfortably because it was not too loud even though it was full of guests doing the same.
Chill vibe with outdoor seating makes it a perfect people-watching spot, and the owner's attention adds a warm, homey touch.

What a great neighbourhood spot! We sat outside and watched the people pass by and as they were waiting for the bus. It was so entertaining! The owner walked around and made sure everyone was happy, which is such a lovely thing to do as it makes you feel at home in his restaurant. We talked to a father and son duo who were also sitting outside and they said the come here at least twice a week because the food is so good. They recommended the pasta and the pork chops. I had the gluten free seafood pasta and the tomato sauce was the best I had in NYC! The wine by the glass was also really delicious. We will definitely be back!
Unique flavors shine with creative options like a buckwheat crêpe with chicken pesto in a relaxed vibe, despite a minor leak by the entrance.

There aren’t too many places you can get a gluten-free crêpe at! I wanted something savory and protein dense. To my surprise, the menu has a buckwheat crêpe with chicken pesto! Solid choice for anyone who eats intuitively and listens to their body.
Customer service was top notch, and the vibe inside is pretty casual. There is some leakage happening by the front door, but that’s a easy fix.

The marbled pork rib ramen was amazing. Generous bowl of ramen with the right amount of pork fat to make it feel homey. There are also several noodle options so gluten free is available. The other dishes at the table were enticing too.
Staff were attentive and welcoming.
Space is tight inside so not a place for large groups or kids.

My wife and I had dinner at Finestra on a Friday evening. I had the salmon with vegetables and my wife had the shrimp risotto. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were delicious. My wife enjoy d the risotto and we both agreed it was one of the better meals we have had in NYC. Excellent service as the waitress was attentive to my wife’s celiac issues. Highly recommend Finestra.

Have dined here many times, but I felt compelled to write about the incredible service we received by our server Georgios. I mean wow. He knew the menu front to back, every detail. Everything he recommended- we ordered. I brought 5 others who have never been here before and they were in awe of not only the food, but the 5 star service we received. My sister in law has celiacs disease and our server fully accommodated this and knew exactly which dishes she could and couldn’t have. I believe our server should be recognized for this by his employer! He is truly someone who loves his job and desires to provide excellence.

My new favorite pizza place in the neighborhood! Probably one of the best gluten-free pizzas I’ve ever had! The perfect thin crust gluten-free with a great red pizza sauce. My boyfriend who isn’t gluten-free loves their pizza slices as well. The staff is so kind, great atmosphere and assortment of food and drink selections from coffee, salads, pizzas and Greek pastries. In the pic I posted I got the gluten free york ave twister and added pepperoni. 11/10 amazing!
Really nice restaurant on the Upper East side. Excellent waiters. Old world Italian indoor ambiance.. They modified a chicken dish to make it gluten free & it was delicious.
