Top 11 Gluten-Free Take Away Spots Across Southwest Portland, Portland

Abigail Sanderson

My go-to spot for a special treat when I’m in downtown! The whole experience is delightful. I always try something new and the pecan bun is my latest favorite. Gluten free, vegan, sweet and savory options means there’s something for everyone!

My husband, son and I came here for a birthday dinner and it was absolutely fabulous. I could not be more pleased with the staff and the food. The restaurant itself is beautiful and it is a truly wonderful experience. I really enjoyed being here for my birthday and enjoying this overall with my son and husband and son,They even made sure not to cause contaminate with my gluten and dairy allergies and I really appreciated that kindness.

Barbara Stettler

Excellent celiac-safe food!

I was shocked to see that there weren't 100% 5 stars on this place...! It is our favorite place in town-- for edible! We leave in deep NE Portland and drive all the way out for the goodies. I am allergic to gluten, soy, and dairy, and not only can I have basically everything in The store, I haven't had anything like it since realizing I had allergies (over a decade ago). Hands down beats Petunia's or G.E.M. or any of the other alternative bakeries. My partner eats all the things, and still will get a bunch for herself. We had Sinful Confections for our wedding, and no one had any idea it was gluten/soy/dairy free-- and people thought it was amazing! Anyway, if you haven't tried them-- do it!

The gluten-free pizza is one of the best I have ever had! So glad to find this place when my husband and I were in the area for a convention. Thank you!

Kim Guttinger

My favorite Thai spot

Mary League

Great gluten-free pasta!

Marisa Biondi

Gluten free pizza available. The crust is crisp and holds up the toppings, but not cracker thin. It’s very good!

Alex Rodriguez

Gluten free fried mozzarella. Was insane. Never would have guessed it was gf if the menu didn’t say it. Chicken parm and bolognese were top notch as well

Beth Jensen

Atmosphere is nice. Service was lovely. Food was not great. Both the gluten free pasta I had and the spaghetti that my husband had tasted bland like something you’d get from a jar and throw together at home when you didn’t feel like cooking. Salad was good though. Disappointed with the cost for what we actually got.

Becky Van Batavia

We had a 4 course dinner for 3. On the first course I wish there had been more cheese. We ran out quickly for the first course. It was very good(Wisconsin cheese). The salad was fresh but kind of plain. We enjoyed the broth and meats. The dessert was very good. We had the chocolate, caramel and pecans sauce. The waitress forgot our utensils, so we had to wait to get her attention. But they were great about substituting food items for my sons gluten allergy. The booth we were seated in , had uncomfortable seats. I felt like I was falling into the seats all night. Maybe invest in new cushions? But overall a good experience . I’d eat here again.

I planned a delightful surprise for my wife's birthday weekend by making reservations at this incredible spot! Considering her gluten intolerance and her love for sushi, it was the perfect choice—plus, it was just a short stroll from our hotel. The menu was not only extensive but bursting with flavor, offering something for every palate. The atmosphere was vibrant and inviting, truly enhancing our dining experience. Overall, we had an amazing time with top-notch service that made the evening unforgettable!

Lauria Mandich

This is my favorite breakfast restaurant! Especially since they offer gluten-free pumpkin spice pancakes!

Eric Parks

Nestled in the first floor of the Embassy Suites in downtown Portland, this very active hub has a lot to live up to. Serving great food and spirits with quality one would expect at much higher end establishments. It's very active and lively, so not the best option for a quiet experience, but fantastic if you want some of the highest quality for a surprisingly low cost. I ordered the frittata with potatoes, that came with a choice of toast. I requested gluten free bread, a side of sausage, and an Irish pick me up, (Irish coffee with an extra kick of espresso). All of which exceeded my expectations. I'm glad I stopped in, and I'm sure you will be too. However, expect a short wait as I'm not the only one that feels so highly of this spot.

Mario Santos

Good spot for some seafood...great gluten free options!

Eli Robinson

Phenomenal food and service. All vegan options with consideration for those who need gluten food as well. A perfect place to satisfy that 'diner' itch without the ambient sausage/bacon stank

Mokihana

We met here with out of town friends on April 30, 2024; three of us are from Hawaiʻi, so it was the perfect place to meet. The food was wonderful! I had the guava chicken, which was broke da mouth, and my friend had the teriyaki ahi, which she said was perfect and was so happy that all of their shoyu is gluten free. Hubby had the Sweet & Sour Veggie Stir Fry, which he really liked. We were so busy talking that I forget what my other friend had! He pronounced it delicious. The mac salad was fantastic! Our server was outstanding! (I wish I knew his name.) He made sure we were well taken care of, was friendly and helpful, and made us feel extremely welcome. Highest praise to him; he's a real asset to the restaurant. We were there for two hours, and had so much to catch up on, but our server never rushed us. He took photos for us at our request, and did a great job with that, too. If I could give more than five stars, I would. Everything about our time there was terrific!

Heidi Dirkse-Graw

I love this cafe! I used to live in the neighborhood and have missed it. Great gluten free sandwich today! I hear Jola will be offering dinner service starting Wednesday next week! I'll be returning on my next visit to Portland to try it out!

juliet sutherland

Outstanding. The food, the drinks, the service- all excellent. There are so many great restaurants in Portland, this one stands out. I have celiac, I felt so taken care of. Friends of ours introduced us to Lechon today, we will go back.

Jeff E

A must stop for people with celiac or gluten intolerance. Tons of fantastic gluten-free options.

Erin Coop

The food is fantastic and the runners are always coming around with different meats. Its all you can eat and the full churrasco experience is recommended. Almost the whole menu is Gluten-Free. Resturant is crowded and the tables and chairs are very close to eachother. Can be hard to get through the resturant without running into someone. Very fast paced and busy staff.

Ashli Quintela

Lydia was our server tonight and she took such great care of us, we felt like we were her own kids the way we were chatting it up tonight. She is so personable and fun. The food was spectacular! Nearly everything on this menu is actually gluten free and I was unafraid to eat 90% of this menu! Gorgeous restaurant and actually used to be a speakeasy within the area. Expand your pallet and give the Lebanese tour a chance, it’s a little bit of everything and really gives you the chance to taste it all. Really was the perfect meal for two to share and fills you up. Make sure to mention if you do have a gluten allergy as they can provide you with pita chips so you’re still included in having a dipping item for all the great sauces you will endure. Definitely will be back.

Tyler Sakura

Fast friendly service with good food and coffee. They also have a number of gluten free options.

Izabella Page

This place is great. I think if I didn't have to be gluten free it would be amazing. Since I am, I'm saying it was good/great. (Wish they had Tamari!) Beautiful restaurant interior. I don't love having to stand in line to order as sometimes the lines are really long but maybe it's different now that things are more open post pandemic. The outdoor booths are cute but I haven't sat in them yet. Drinks are excellent too!!

Josue Plaza

some of the nicest people and they actually care about your allergens. my partner prefers gluten free items and the person working the front was always so kind and went to look at their booklet that could confirm to her if the food item was GF. Food was great, and the place was clean. What more could you want?

Lior Seidel

Whitney Head-Potter

The gluten-free free pasta was fantastic. The food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious.

Elizabeth Jones

My girlfriend and I have been regulars at this stand for going on 4 years. They have gluten free food options, which is a massive plus, and their coffee is just plain good. The staff there is always polite, friendly and knowledgeable

Gabriela

I had a fantastic lunch here over the weekend! I have celiac, and was delighted to learn that everything on the menu except the pita and the baklava was gluten free. We tried the falafel rice platter and the hummus with veggies instead of pita. Both were delicious and so flavorful! The owner was really friendly as well. I look forward to coming back!

Emily Turner

I had the mikes hot honey chicken sandwich and it was so good. My friend got one of the burgers with the gluten free bun and she enjoyed hers too :)

Michael Williams

This is a great little spot. Wanted pizza and they advertise their gluten free crust is made in house, so we gave them a try. Great pizza, great GF crust. Definitely recommend. The beers are also very good, but this is Portland so getting good beer somewhere is nearly the default setting, IMHO. The TV was set to a reality show, which wasn't really great for dinner, but other than that was a fine evening out.

Ren Prince

I'd give more stars if I could! The staff was very kind, the restaurant was cute, and the food was absolutely incredible. I have celiac disease but there were tons of gluten free options (the gf pita was divine). I also accidentally left my phone in the booth after dinner, but they went out of their way to catch up to me and make sure I didn't leave it behind. A wonderful experience and I will definitely be back.

Yuliya N

Amazing sandwiches every time!! Crispy bread, delicious combos, and super quick. It’s a lot more cost effective to select one of their curated sandwiches than building your own. I’ve tried their gluten free bread before and it was so good that I had to double check with them that it was indeed gluten free 😃

Crystal Kelly

Food was super good! The had good gluten free options! Staff was super friendly and fast.

Eloise Bernstein

The food at this restaurant is better than a popular competitor and also more reasonably priced. The broth is flavorful and comes with plenty of onions, green onions, and cilantro. The spring rolls are large and always fresh, with gluten-free dipping sauces available. They offer free and unlimited cool water and hot tea. My favorite lunch hack is ordering a side of broth and a spring roll for less than $10. The service is fast, the restaurant is clean and stylish, and the staff are very kind.

Teru Stalcup

The food was great! They have gluten free options! The price for dinner was great with plenty of leftover food. The garlic sauce is legit. Be prepared for death breath.

Esther Rogers

The waiter was beyond knowledgeable, turns out he was the owner. Food great. The menu could use more vegan and gluten-free options. The drinks are amazing. Great experience for our group!

Candace Hanks

This was a little hard to find using Google maps, you have to go inside the bancorps building to find it. Everything on the menu is gluten free except the burrito. Everything is vegan. I had the amazbowl for breakfast. It was a perfect departure from the fried food I had been eating in my work trip. The chef also checked on me several times to make sure I didn't need anything. Would definitely go back! Also, the owner game me a free piece of cheesecake as I was leaving 😁

S Jarman

Love this location. Very friendly staff, great food (as always at RC) and the ambiance is lively and upbeat. It's not a quiet spot, but no problem having a conversation. The gluten free menu has plenty of options, but a couple more desserts would be nice! We always enjoy our meal at Ruth's Chris and tonight's was no exception!

Alfred James

Tommy Darden

Kure offers a variety of downtown vegan and gluten-free options. The staff is consistently friendly, the smoothies are consistently delicious, and their breakfast sandwich is truly impressive!

Stephen Fitz

The gluten free pizza is white cardboard, terrible, everyone at the table hated it and it is way overpriced and worse than frozen pizza. *Update 2025... still sucks so bad. Was unfortunate enough to hang out with friends who ordered GF pizza from them.. still rubbery and gross with close to zero toppings.

Rachel Furman

Great food and the friendliest staff and owner. Recommend it to everyone and is often our go to meal. Great option for gluten free, or dairy free individuals.

Skip New

Went here with my teammates from work. Their food is delicious! I had the Cioppino that came with enough toasty French (?) bread to mop up the flavorful broth. Lots of mussels, fish, and other seafood to fill out the large, full bowl - enough to take home for a meal later. Service was timely, friendly, and efficient, and the atmosphere like a neighborhood meeting place. They also had a menu ready for my gluten-free friend - an unexpected surprise! It was a bit spendy, but, then again, everything is these days. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the entryway is not readily apparent - I had to walk around the entire building to find the door. It was well worth it, though.

Maggie DiFazio

Such a great hidden gem!! Huge portions and high quality food with great flavor. They also adjusted the spice level perfectly for my wimpy taste buds, but my partner got the heat they were looking for too. The menu is labeled gluten-free, which was a great comfort for my partner's Celiac disease as well. But even better, they have kind staff and unexpectedly good service, especially for a place where you order on a touch screen and only have contact with a human to pick up your food. I had a minor complaint about the taste of the pineapple in my fried rice, and with no questions, they immediately made me a new one with new pineapple and told me to take both portions home. Then, two different employees came out to make sure the second round of pineapple was better, and even offered to make me a third one 😂 we will definitely be back!!

Josina Reaves

Needed good coffee and great food and got both with a view! Breakfast sandwich on gluten-free bread was excellent! Perfect gf bread, which can be hard to find. Husband's breakfast wrap was beautiful and full of veggies. And the iced coffee was amazing!

Dawn Moore

Very little gluten and dairy free. Auto surcharge. We waited a long time to tab out due to technical issues and wrong bills
