Gluten-Free Restaurants in Palo Alto, CA

“First time diners. Sat inside and loved the dining room. Their “patio” is a parklet on the street, nice but still a street view. Lived the ambiance and restaurant vibe. The wait staff is obviously well trained as they are super professional and attentive. Most of the servers are a bit more mature than your average restaurant server, so they seem to take great pride and ownership in their work. We never wanted for anything nor did we feel hovered over. We ordered the calamari, which had a nice breading and was relatively tender compared to most. We also shared a Greek dinner salad, which was quite fresh but the dressing lacked much flavor, though my partner thought it was really good. She had the salmon, which is served with a light tomato based sauce, lemon mashed potatoes and zucchini. The salmon was a wee bit over cooked and didn't really have much flavor. I think she said, “kind of bland.” She always compares salmon ordered out to the Pacific Rim Salmon at Shadowbrook in Capitola, which she absolutely loves. I ordered the roast chicken, which was served with broccolini and roasted fingerling potatoes. The chicken portion is substantial and the chicken, which is roasted over an open flame in the exhibition kitchen was tender and delicious. The vegetables were very good. We shared the baklava, which comes with vanilla ice cream. The baklava was pretty dense but was tasty. We would definitely return...“

“My favorite restaurant in Palo Alto! You can taste how fresh and high quality the ingredients are. I have returned multiple times. One of the staff (Angel) has great enthusiasm and provides great service. The quesadillas and the steak bowl are a must. I also enjoy that they use more environmentally friendly utensils and play good music“

“The bistek asado. omg! soooo tender. we ordered it medium. it was perfect. We also ordered the pollo rostisado con mole. it was tender and tasty. Thank you for accommodating us with no reservations. make reservations. place gets packed quick.“

“After 20+ years of coming here…it’s STILL incredible! The Mojito! The Masitas, the snapper, and soooooo much more!“

“My girl enjoyed the Chef’s menu very much (need to post right after a meal otherwise challenging to find photos…).

The small upscale restaurant was popular with a full house with outdoor seating where we were.

Many tables ordered Al la car like I did & they’d leave early. Chef’s menu takes about more than an hour. Bite-size multiple tapa dishes.“

“Es un restaurante muy bonito, sus platos muy bien servidos y deliciosos! Recomiendo a Local Union siempre, excelente servicio el de Guadalupe y Estefany!“

“Amazing restaurant. Fantastic food, cocktails, and atmosphere. Affordable for downtown Palo Alto with great portions. Shout out to the awesome new manager Tyrel. Also shout out Lupe and the rest of the staff they do an amazing job and are very friendly.“

“Ordered a customized egg white omelet and home fries. Arrived quickly in a very full house. The guys on the line don't mess around! Omelet was generously portioned and delicious. Home fries just a little heavy on the spice. Weren't too spicy-hot, just a little heavy-handed with the spices used. I'll absolutely go back.“

“Good legit Japanese restaurant. The chicken karaage was very tender and juicy. For some reason it was very spicy. The sukiyaki was ok. The beef was a little tough but tasted good. We also got a teriyaki salmon and assorted tempura. The salmon was a little over cooked. which I expected it to be better. All in all a great place for a good representation of Japanese cuisine.“

“Great food and drinks. Free warm tortilla chips and salsa. Had the expresso chicken burrito with red sauce, pork expresso burrito with green sauce, and expresso chicken and steak burrito with red sauce all burritos topped with sour cream, guacamole, onions, and salsa. Had all el loco drink very refreshing and beers and their hot chicken wings served with ranch and Chile sauce along with carrot slices and celery very good. Restaurant very clean and service was great and quick.“

“1st time in Cali , this place was a 3 min walk from my hotel . I had the adult grill cheese. It was delicious. The service was great and the prices were not bad at all . I definitely recommend and will be returning next time i’m on the west coast .“

“Healthy options Good price“

“Tasty and plentiful Korean food. We had a great meal this evening again, having come here many years ago when or kids lived in Palo Alto.
The side dishes are delicious, and we were attended to very well by several servers asking us if everything was okay. They replenished the pickled cucumbers we really enjoyed and offered to bring more other sides.
We ordered edamame to start, followed by chicken bibimbop for my spouse and udon tofu bowl for me, medium spicy. Both of us were very satisfied with our orders.
I'd recommend this place to anyone who likes Korean food or who wants to try it.“

“great food. good service“

“My wife and I online-ordered some goodies from Deja Vu recently. The best Chocolate Babka ever with lots of chocolate, a hint of cinnamon and very moist. They must have used a high quality of cocoa. You can taste the passion and love the chef put into her cakes. This is a local hidden gem!“

“Great food and drink♥️ I love“

“I give 5 Star!!! Awesome find for me. Definitely a stop for me here in near future! Awesome and delicious food 🍱!!!“

“The food was Delicious 😋 My Son & his girlfriend took me out to lunch. We ordered Pork Egg Rolls, Calamari, Crab Rangoon Appetizers. Entree salad,NY steak,Whiskey Sour(from the special menu). Beef & Broccoli and fried rice, Veggie egg roll and Garlic Noodles(they lacked garlic flavor). Desserts Red Velvet cake, Key lime pie(Not Like what you're used to seeing) but very good.“

“This is not a negative comment but more of my opinion. Of course the food is amazing. The ambiance is clean and organized. My issue and maybe this was just my fault. I asked for a chicken soup and the cashier explained that it comes fried I was confused so I asked fried chicken in a soup she probably didnt hear me or I didnt understand her. I said yes to the order. Chicken soup, 4 tacos and a super burito for my family as well. I get the order and I always like to check so I did and didnt see the soup I ordered so I go to the counter and tell the lady I ordered soup she said no you ordered fried chicken with rice and beans I was like no I want the chicken soup. Well didnt want to make things worse I asked if she can just change it and make me the soup, she told me she cant. Again not to make things worse I just told her we'll ill pay for the soup can you make me the soup.(my 4 year old was sick and wanted soup) so it was important to get the soup.
I waited another 10-15 mins to get the soup.
Like I said maybe I didnt explain her what I wanted or she didnt understand me.
After spending $75 on all the meal I felt that she could have just changed for the soup. Repeated the order to make sure the order was correct.
I have worked in fast food industry for many years and I am not saying customer is always right but rules can be bent a little.

Just my experience not been negative.“

“SO GOOD! Absolutely delicious meal. We got to sit outside, the evening was perfect, the waitresses were so sweet and informative, and the food was divine. Recommend: tea leaf salad, coconut chicken curry 😋, coconut rice, basil beef, and the STRING BEANS.“

“Very kind service extremely clean establishment food was very fresh.“

“I wish you would open another location outside downtown Palo Alto. Your food is fabulous but too hard for parking!“

“I ordered a large pick-up catering order and it was exactly what I wanted. Mini burritos were a perfect handheld main for a party. And the mini tacos (crispy and soft shell) looked and tasted amazing and were a hit. Not something you see at a lot of places and a great option for catering. Also 2 large salsas were included with the order for free! I definitely recommend this place especially for planning an event.“

“This is a take away place. We had the kouign amann and chocolate croissant. Excellent. Chocolate croissant is not sugary with dark chocolate. Could have a bit more chocolate but high quality chocolate 🍫🍫🍫. baguette tends to sell out early here.“

“The bomb pizza as always get a quad pepperoni sit back and fill up!“

“I’m not usually a chocolate lover, but I must say, the chocolate cupcake at Kara’s was absolutely delicious. I also tried the vegan chocolate cupcake, and that was really good too! I love that they have vegan and gluten-free options so inclusive. I even tried the banana cupcake, but once you taste that chocolate one, you just can’t go back.“

“Every time when I can go I do 👍💝“

“Delicious, creative sandwiches. the menu is enormous and has every combination of protein and fixings you can imagine - from pastrami to turkey to meatballs to fried chicken to vegetarian options. Ike's offers it all, and its sauces are delicious!“

“Very good food for lunch here“
