NYC Gluten Free Restaurants

Below is a list of NYC restaurants/bakeries that I highly recommend visiting. Of course there are many more gluten free options in this great city, but these are the ones I will always go back to again and again. 

Several of these restaurants are 100% gluten free. Several are NOT 100% gluten free but are very careful with cross contamination and take celiac disease extremely seriously. 

***Updated March 2023***

Some 100% gluten free restaurants have added gluten to their menus without clearly announcing this to the local community. Things are changing quickly during the pandemic. Even if a restaurant is known for being 100% GF or having excellent safety policies, please inquire with the restaurant directly to confirm their current policies before dining.

Because this is a list of restaurants that I personally love and trust, I have made the decision to remove restaurants that have chosen to not be fully transparent about the above mentioned issue. If you have questions about my experience with a specific eatery not listed on this page please feel free to send me an email.
