Top 1 Gluten-Free Spots Across Downtown Rochester

Brent Warner

Rad Italian place reminiscent of the Midwest. Service was great, large portions, and tons and tons of gluten free options (never seen this many before). Excellent. Worth a try if you’re in Rochester.

Purchased a gluten free pepper roni pizza and it was the best I've ever had! Thank you!

I am gluten free (allergy), and this was a great place to eat! I got breakfast. The eggs, sausage, toast, hashbrowns, and pancakes were all delicious. And gluten free! Parking and finding the place was a little more difficult since it’s in the skyway and I don’t use the skyway often, but I found it pretty quickly. The server I had was super helpful and very nice. Atmosphere was great as well and the decor is chic. This is a must-try!

I can’t stop talking about this place! The service was great and fast (our server provided really good suggestions!), the cocktails were so well-balanced, and the food was delicious! I almost went back the next day for the noodles and brussels. We also had the tofu satay, which was wonderfully crispy, and the pad thai, which they will make if you beg, but I’m with the server that the other food was so good and you can get that anywhere. Best news: so much was gluten-free! Would go back right now if I could.

4.4 total stars for this great American restaurant. They had issues seating us out of the sun which was frustrating but they eventually were able to accommodate. 5 stars for our server Ephraim! He was so accommodating and knowledgeable about the dietary restrictions. They have many gluten sensitive and plant based/ vegan options and accommodated various requests for us. Lots of variety in the menu so anyone can eat here. 4 stars for the quality of the food it wasn’t outstanding but good. We had the: Blueberry mocktail- nice that they have many alcohol free options but this drink was just okay Gluten free truffle Parmesan fries- very good garlic aioli hit the spot Gluten free rainbow roll- okay Plant based mushroom fettuccini with gluten free pasta and chicken- delicious! Bison burger of gluten free bread- decent, amazing Gf bread GF Cookies and cream cake - excellent I do recommend for a group that needs variety and has dietary restrictions. It’s a nice atmosphere on the casual side.

We had a fantastic dinner at Chester's. One of the best hamburgers I've had in a long time. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. My wife had the wedge salad and she said it was great. Fires were delicious! Even had gluten free key lime pie. Our waiter, Adam was awesome. He learned of my gluten allergy and even came back and said the tater tots I ordered weren't gluten free and offered options. Great job Chester's. Next time we are in Rochester we will be back!

Wonderful food and staff! And very accommodating to gluten free and dairy free people. Highly recommend the pink lemonade for this summer!

Rosemed Miami

4.7 stars for this delicious lovely gem 💎 The atmosphere is beautiful and on the upscale side. Highly recommend the Grenache rose to go with the oysters which are on the Briney side but great if you like that sort of thing. Asparagus app and beet app are smothered in cheese so not great for my taste but loved by others. Bison meatloaf and scallops were the best dishes. Cabbage rolls were good but the tofu inside is the best part. Pork was also good. The 16 layer crepe cake was amazing as well as the chocolate torte that’s also gluten free which is a big plus. The server was very helpful in determining the gluten free dishes and options. All the staff were kind and helpful. Overall a great restaurant highly recommended!

Fun, very tasty place for breakfast and lunch and dinner. The Dutch skillet was amazing, as was the blackberry creme muffin. The chocolate chip pannekoeken was more eggy than floury, which was fantastic for me, as I minimize my gluten consumption. Can’t wait to try their Muenster cheese curds, cabbage rolls, and more!

I walked over from the Mayo and asked what their dairy-free, gluten-free options were. They didn't have any. Disappointing because it looked like a lovely spot!

So delicious!! 10/10 would come back anytime! We started with pork dumplings and fried tofu. My group is still talking about how mind-blowingly delicious the dumplings were (being gluten intolerant I was not able to partake). The fried tofu comes with a generous serving and was also delicious. The kitchen nailed the slightly crispy exterior and soft interior that makes fried tofu most delicious. We also enjoyed the soju and other drink options. For the meal we had 2 types of Bibimbap, Bulgogi, and Japchae and we all had food left over. We’ve just left but I’m super looking forward to leftovers already. All orders come with complimentary Banchan (small shareable plates), and several entrees include Banchan also. Banchan rotates and depends on what the kitchen has available. The menu has some options for gluten friendly and vegetarian alternatives for specific dishes. I am gluten sensitive and pregnant and the server was very attentive to my dietary restrictions and needs. She made sure the Banchan that came with my meal were options that I could have and asked the kitchen to thoroughly cook the egg that came with my Bibimbap. We were impressed with the level of general noise of the restaurant. There was quiet, pleasant music playing in the background and you could easily hear each other talk without having to raise your voice. We did sit near a side entrance door which left us a bit chilly before our drinks and hot food hit our systems.

Salute wine bar & more is now one of my favorite places to eat in Rochester, Minnesota! My father has Celiacs and I have lots of food allergies! They have a huge gluten free menu and are extremely cautious. Usually gluten free portion sizes are small and expensive not here. They r huge and great prices and are delicious. I usually can't have pasta out of the house because I have a gluten sensitivity not celiacs but I can't eat gluten I am allergic to corn so most gluten free pasta have corn in it so I showed my allergy card and asked her to ask the chef if it was safe for me to eat, she comes back and says chef says you are all good to have pasta we don't do corn pasta because of that allergy it is rice pasta. Needless to say that chef made my day. My dad the one visit had chicken Marcela he said it was very tendar and the mashed potatoes were amazing. My other 3 family members got reubons and these folks are defenitly not typical reubons they are piled high with meat and they all said they tasted amazing. Needless to say if u want amazing food and great service oh and good prices eat here. It's kind of like a hidden gem. P.S. If u r like my Dad and myself and have allergies I definitely recommend eating here neither one of us got cross contaminated and our food we got was delicious.

Almadina is a downtown gem and one of the top restaurants in Rochester. The food is consistently cooked properly and is always absolutely delicious. The owners, Samar and Feras, put a lot of passion into the food they cook and the menu items they present--and the results show. I've never had a bad meal from Almadina and recommend it to all of my friends. The menu is also vegan and gluten-free friendly, so there is something for everyone! Personally, I love the lamb chops, chicken shawarma, tabouli, hummus, and falafel. My kids go crazy for the toum (garlic sauce).

Burgers are fantastic and Celiac friendly! 10/10 recommend

I was in town for another Mayo visit. It was raining and humid and of course, the overall premise of the visit wasn’t the best. My husband and I walked across the street to Yum! I was hesitant because I have celiac disease and eating out is typically a scary challenge but the staff were fabulous and knowledgeable about their products. That alone is usually my reason for commenting but I must say that the food is amazing! It is full flavor and true to the name, Yum! Thank you for caring.
