Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots Across River North, Chicago

Marvin Gibbons

Went in on a Monday night. Very busy and sat at the bar. Wxplanes to the bartender our allergies, I’m celiac and my wife is allergic to cilantro. Placed our orders and the kitchen manager, Manny, came out and discussed our orders and issues and talked us through what we would enjoy within our allergies. The food came we wished we had ordered 2’nd’s !! Delicious

Hassan Arbabi

We got two small deepdish one of them glutenfree. Delicious and hearty! The crust tasted like a proper bakery pie that could be your breakfast. Service was a bit off, our host would take his time just taking our order and gave the impression that he was stonex

Sylvia Smith

Excellent gluten free options, including blueberry pancakes!

Heather Taibl

My boyfriend’s son has severe peanut and tree nut allergies as well as Celiacs. We called the day before and the manager, Jennifer, walked through the meticulous precautions they take to make sure he can eat safely. She went out of her way to watch for and make a note on our reservation. From the moment we stepped in the restaurant everyone was aware of his allergies and they even have a dedicated gluten-fee menu. Jennifer checked in with us and made sure we were doing well. The food was phenomenal, the service was phenomenal, and we were so grateful to be able to dine somewhere that truly understood his allergies. Highly recommend this restaurant! Thank you!

Lise

Absolutely the BEST GLUTEN FREE meal! From meatballs & onion rings to pasta and then topped off with the gooey chocolate chip cookie for dessert!

Maggiano was great! Not only was the food delicious, the service was excellent. I had the chicken saltimbocca. When seated, the waiter asked about if anyone had any food sensitivities and I’m severely gluten intolerant. He then invited the chef to come out to talk to me about my allergies/ sensitivity which was pleasantly surprising. Most chefs never do that. Overall, my boyfriend and I had a great time eating here. I’ll definitely come back again the next time I get to visit Chicago.

Absolutely love this place! The gluten free pizza crust is amazing. Highly recommended!

Madysen Bohman

To start, extremely rude staff. Also, I have celiac and they only had one option for me and it was the worse donut I’ve ever had. And to make it better, as my boyfriend was paying we ordered an uber that was 2 min away and were immediately kicked out in the cold weather. There are definitely way better places to spend your money and to also have good gluten free options. If I could rate this a zero I would.

Great experience at Pizzeria Uno. Medium deep dish easily feeds 2 people. Numero Uno pizza was delicious. All the toppings were cooked perfectly and were so fresh. We ordered bbq chicken pizza with gluten free crust and the gluten free crust is thinner than the regular deep dish.

Matthew Foster

Delicious food. One of the most flavorful fast food places I have tried in a long time. Made fresh to order, delivered quickly and accurately, and great service made the visit enjoyable. Also, a completely Gluten-Free restaurant. I had the Sweet BBQ bowl with chicken, and would gladly order it again.

Liv Laine

Such great knowledge about allergies! I notified my server about being gluten free and almost immediately the manager came out saying she’s noted the allergy and let the chefs know and went over their allergy protocols. They can make almost anything gluten free, they told me just to pick out what I wanted and they can make it happen. Probably the best restaurant experience I’ve had!

Our family of 5 had the pleasure of dining at Bavette’s in Chicago last night. From the beginning they were very accommodating. Our server Steven was knowledgeable about the menu and even gave me gluten sensitive subs as requested. He was also kind when my son (8) hit his soda over by accident (we know this is annoying) this was important to us as our son already felt bad about it. His recommendation for the main lobster for our 10 yo son was spot on for what he wanted. The truffle Mac and cheese was a huge hit with everyone. Steaks came out perfectly cooked the entire way through - we ordered 3 different steaks with different requests. Highly recommend and if you get Stevens section I know you won’t be disappointed Jessica

So amazing! The chefs and server were so catering to my Celiac disease. Amazing food :)

Jenn and Ryan Goggans

Best gluten free Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to. Gluten free chicken Parmesan is to die for

Olia

Absolutely loved this place! The food was 100% vegan with a few gluten free options as well! Everything had a great flavour and tasted very fresh! There was limited parking on the street. The atmosphere was really great! And the waiter was phenomenal. I would definitely love to come back !!

Grace Joshua

Awesome gluten free sushi!

Aerin Kwant

Avli brunch never misses, my boyfriend and I have become regulars. Wait staff is amazing, Dimitri and Alekos always take great care of us. Recommend the dip trio and breakfast sandwich! Also has gluten free pita

Deyton Chance

this was the most delectable experience ever!! all the food was so fresh it felt like i could taste its source. my friends and i were taking photos of our amazing meal and then…the manager comes over and asks if we would want to tag them in a post with one of their desserts on the house!! of course we agreed and not only was the dessert amazing but it was also vegan and gluten free along with many of the options on the menu. my friend who is vegan and gluten free and she said there was plenty of options for her and the staff was extremely accommodating! our waiter also went through the menu and explained everything in through detail since it was our first time. so overall 100/10 experience!!

Jessica Horn

Gluten sensitivity but server was VERY knowledgeable about ensuring food safety. Music was amazing. Outdoor dining clean and fun. Highly recommended.

Ashley Ryan

Cliff was a great server!!! It was a great dinner. I am gluten free and he made sure I had a safe plate and a great time! Thanks cliff!!

Sarah W

Good upscale Mexican restaurant with GF food! Safe celiac protocols but not many options- I couldn’t have the chips which was a bummer.

Lisa Patenaude

My sister has celiac and hasn’t had fried chicken in over 20 years. She ordered it and was absolutely blown away at how delicious it was. The executive chef came to our table to ask how the meal was for her. The manager spoke with us and was very friendly attentive. She sent us a gluten free dessert to enjoy. This was one of the most enjoyable meals and experience we have ever had. The staff are exceptional.

Stefanos Bir

Gluten free crust 👍

Michelle McCrackin

Oysters, steak, they were very sensitive to my gluten allergy

Matt L

Good gluten free options for my child.

Janet

Wow! they really have the best vegan gluten free pancake🥞!!! tofu scrambler-eggless was delicious and wholesome. Big portions great value of your money. Amparo managed to take care of many customers with a very kind attitude, calm, charming, knowledgeable and extremely good on what she does. Eric and the rest of the staff are so friendly.

Beautiful Italian restaurant. They offer courses, so take your time and enjoy the food. They have delicious gluten-free options. I would absolutely dine with them again. It's an elegant yet family-friendly atmosphere. And I really appreciate that they didn't rush us out when we finished our meal, and let us wait for our Uber at the table.

Neena O

Despite knowing the dish I wanted couldn't be made gluten free, they accommodated my request and were able to make it as gluten free as possible. The blood orange mimosas were amazing and we didn't have to wait long to get refills on our drinks. The manager came around to check on the tables which made it that much more personable.

Sarah W

Delicious tapas restaurant with plenty of GF options you just need to confirm with your server about cross contact

Kay Clements

I stopped in one time when I was passing through using Amtrak and it was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for offering gluten-free optionsn

Maria Alejandra Meneses Giorgi

This was one of my best experiences in Chicago, the food is awesome, the waiter was super kind and helpful when explaining the gluten free options and the vibes and music are amazing. Highly recommended if you are around the River North area

Breyja Thorpe

My friend and I were visiting for 1 night only in Chicago and stopped here for breakfast. The server we got was AMAZING. Super personable and upbeat! Our waters never got low, trash was never on the table for long, we were checked on often, and we had everything we needed! They also offered gluten free pancakes which were AMAZING!!! I loved them. They were light/easy on the stomach and tasted like regular pancakes. Next time I find myself in Chicago, I will be sure to come back. Please don’t miss an opportunity to dine here! 10/10 y’all are perfect and we love you❤️

Karen Jacobs

That was the greatest gluten-free pizza I have ever had!! It was fast, the waitress was very helpful, and it was so good!

Jessiah Ardor

Excellent food, excellent service. My wife has celiac disease, and the gluten-free options here are amazing! There is good customer service, but every once in awhile you get lucky and experience greatness: this is what Chris P. exemplified. 5 stars. Would come here again and again.

Mika

I had an absolutely wonderful time at fogo de chao! If you're gluten free, vegan, pescatarian, or vegetarian there's something here for you. All the sides (included polenta, mashed potatoes, fried banana, and gluten free cheesy bread bites!).

Cory McEachern

Mind blowing Whiskey selection. Smoked brisket was delicious! Good have been a larger portion. Atmosphere is bang on. Several items marked as gluten free on menu 👍 Would go back again.

Taryn H

The everything bagel was so delicious. I made a sandwich with it for my fiancé and he loved it! Donuts were also great, the gluten free donut in particular was amazing. Super moist and flavorful.

Darian Greenfield

Great find for easy Italian food. Gluten free menu. Decent selection including gluten free pasta. Our server was cheerful and excited to talk with us. Would highly recommend for an easy affordable Italian dinner.

William Hu

Admittedly pricey even for a raw vegan restaurant, but overall fantastic raw vegan food! I'm also impressed that they even changed the pizza to make it gluten free using Cassava! My only complaint, albeit a big one, is I wish they used maple syrup or monk fruit instead of agave nectar. Best raw vegan restaurant in Chicago hands down!

Alec Dimmig

Fantastic restaurant! Great food quality and choices. Great service. Great atmosphere between inside and outside seating. Gluten free options as well. Prices are fairly reasonable for Chicago and dining quality.

Maegan Brooks

This is a beautiful coffee shop and I’m happy we got to stop in but my only issue is, is that I assumed I would get more help with knowing my options for gluten free drinks. I had email them prior and they told me I’d be able to get help once I was there so that was my plan but once I got up there and asked if the coffee I wanted was gluten free she wasn’t sure so she went and asked when she came back to me she said it wasn’t. So then I asked her if she could tell me what my options were and then she had to ask them again which they told me I could only get a drink with milk, honey and espresso. They were super busy and I was very rushed. The drink was good but I was expecting a much better experience especially when I was told I’d have options. They do have gluten free bakery options but I didn’t get any of those and they do share a case with all the other items so keep that in mind. Lovely coffee shop just probably isn’t the best option for someone with a gluten allergy.

jamie

Definitely the best meal we've ever ate, our entire lives. Had the gem green salad and it was massive! Didn't even finish it (it was a little dry but the pears were spiced and super delicious) the carrots with the feta are special and we could have just ate them all night...had the bone marrow and was blown away by the flavors. My husband got the short ribs and enjoyed every bite as well. I have celiacs and usually get contamination but felt great after this meal! We would have gotten dessert but had reservations elsewhere, so looking forward to coming back to enjoy a gf dessert. I also loved the Orgeat me Not cocktail (pictured)

Herward Ahlheit

We had the Vegan Burger which comes with a glutenfree bun. The taste was great, we loved it!

Eliza Campos

I ordered delivery from home so that it would arrive when I got to work downtown. The order came right on time, hot, delicious and with napkins, plastic cutlery and extra chili sauce. I could not have been more delighted. Tom Kha w/shrimp soup and Tom Sum salad were prepared perfectly and all the flavors were in balance! I appreciate how the menu gives allergen information. I’m Gluten Free and was able to clearly see which dishes would be safe for me to eat. Thank you, Star of Siam! I will be a repeat customer for sure!

Nan Reed Twiss

Our server Jose was incredibly helpful steering me toward gluten-free, dairy free, sugar free. Excellent service and wonderful food!

Tong Nguyen

How to sum it up, let's say I will back in September I hope as I was blown away with their special and they even had great gluten free pasta. For two people you won't break over 50$ which is very surprising. This is by far best pasta I've had since I last visited chicago. No doubts they have a great outdoor seating but my little one is messy haha Thank you for your great food please keep it up

Emily Hausler

Awesome food and experience. The restaurant is extremely accommodating with allergies (I’m allergic to gluten).
