Top 9 Gluten-Free Vegetarian Spots to Delight in South End, Boston

Samuel Rabinowitz

Amazing experience all around. Innovative menu, great service and atmosphere, and delicious food. The fusion between French and Cambodian is done with separate menu sections, but some influence across boundaries. Perfect for a date night or a group. The bar has an annoyingly-large and out of place TV though. Appetizer: Kapik King, a slow-cooked spiced pork belly with a rice croquette and pickles, was perfectly cooked and spiced, and a good portion. The three parts of the dish complemented each other - the melt-in-your-mouth sweet-and-spicy meat, crispy rice, and crunchy salty pickles. 5/5 Appetizer: Leah Chah, mussels in a white whine sauce but with an Asian twist, almost like a light curry. Definitely better than the standard, but two complaints: pretty small portion, and no bread for dipping. 4/5 Entree: Pavé de Saumon, beautifully cooked salmon with mushrooms, over mashed potatoes, and with an arugula side salad. Flavorful, French, and good portion. 5/5 Entree: Curry d’Agneau aux Légumes, braised lamb curry with veggies, Cambodian, bursting with flavor from all the spice, good portion size. 5/5 Desserts: Le Péché au Chocolat, a rich French chocolate truffle cake with raspberry, and Sangkhia l’Pao, a Cambodian squash and coconut cake that was less sweet but nonetheless an awesome dessert with good texture. 4/5 Drinks: non-alcoholic: Elephant Walk Punch (blood orange, passion fruit, lime) 5/5 Kalamansi agave limeade (kalamansi is a Filipino relative of an orange), but it was too orangey, 4/5 Some of these dishes were on the special menu, which is always long, so you may not find these exact dishes when you go. Good vegetarian, pescatarian, and gluten free-options. We went for Dine Out Boston, so it was $46 for appetizer, entree, and dessert, and we got $9 nonalcoholic spritzers, but normally it would be $13-17 for an appetizer and and $24-32 for an entree. So not too bad.

Fantastic spot for interesting, creative food without breaking the bank. 1 drink and enough food we all left satisfied was only 120 bucks total for a table of 4. Our servers were fantastic and the kitchen and serving staff were very accommodating of my girlfriend's celiac concerns. Absolutely fantastic.

Amazing! As a severely lactose intolerant person with a partner who has Celiac disease, we often struggle to find places to eat. This place had gluten free cones and all the ice cream was coconut based. You couldn’t even tell! Delicious.

Everything we ate was fantastic. My wife is gluten free, one of the managers marked up a menu to layout her choices. Highly recommend the house made ricotta!! A bit loud, but that’s because everyone was enjoying themselves.

Gluten Free Pizza! Yummy! One of the better ones I’ve had, top 5 for sure! You won’t go wrong here! Also available on GrubHub and Uber Eats which I did yesterday and was so good that I decided to come in person to enjoy it right out of the oven!

Delicious vegan and gluten free falafel wrap. Not too greasy or too hard like many fried falafels can be. Rice based wrap so you can get gf if you need/want that option. I feel so lucky to find this place.

Really great experience at Yellow Door Taqueria, conveniently by the Ink Block development. They have lots of outdoor tables, bookable on OpenTable, including some under the overhang (for minor drizzle protection) but still fully open-air. Food was delicious and fairly priced, and service was excellent. I listed out all my food allergies and Raffy handled me with aplomb – making me confident in and happy with all the food I got! There's a dedicated gluten-free frier for the chips but it does have seafood cooked in it, so they were kind enough to bring me some cute sliced corn tortillas to have with their delicious house-made guacamole for an appetizer. I can highly recommend the birria tacos (pan-fried and cheesy with excellent barbacoa) and chicken tinga taco (delicious on the plain, house-made corn tortilla). Rice and beans were ok – beans dramatically lardy and rice a little mushy, but ok. The kitchen was thoughtful enough to sub the 'avocado frito' on the chicken tinga for some plain avocado for me. Overall, an excellent experience for delicious tacos, with great outdoor dining and good care for my dietary restrictions. $60 subtotal for a party of two with chips and guacamole and 2-3 hearty tacos and sides but no drinks; more like $90 for two with drinks.

Great food in a little counter-service restaurant. In my 3 days in Boston this was the only restaurant I found that didn't feel like it was overpriced. I ordered ziti with meatballs and marinara and got two meals worth. We watched a few college students try to tell the difference between two Lagunitas and Harpoon IPAs by taste alone, and the TV was showing AFV instead of sports which was a very welcome change. Also quite close to Fomu for a post meal treat. Can make gluten-free wings if asked.
