Gluten-Free Restaurants in Washington, DC

“We had an early dinner before attending a performance at the Ford’s Theater. We made reservations through Open Table and were immediately seated upon arrival. The service was great. Our server recommended several dishes that we loved. There were abundant vegan and vegetarian options. Chilorio de Res tacos were mouthwatering as were the Hongos en Milto ones. In fact, every dish we ordered was delicious. One dish (chilaquiles) never arrived from the kitchen but we were pressed for time so we opted to have it taken off our bill instead of waiting for them to prepare it separately. Dessert, Cafe de Olla, was phenomenal. Pics are only some of the items we tried. Great atmosphere for date night and a milestone birthday celebration. Highly recommend.“

“Must have the Mochi fantastic“

“Love everything! Can’t wait to travel to DC every year to visit.“

“A cute and cozy bistro with delicious food and fabulous service!“

“We visited it during the July 4th celebrations! There was no wait time, the place was well lit! We were looking for only plant based options so we found this place, ambiance was good. It’s not a massive place, it has cozy and comfortable vibes. The staff were very polite and generous.
We had one falafel bowl and make our own bowl! I loved the chimichurri sauce, it was amazing.
Beet roasted-lentils were great as well.
Overall, I loved the food. It was so filling! Everything was perfect in that mix!

They have clean washrooms as well and they were spotless!

They also cater for office, potluck etc!“

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!“

“This place was an absolute gem during our week-long stay in DC. We visited it a whopping five times! We had such a great time, especially when we made a funny joke about breakfast for the next morning. 😂 Because we had already eaten it .“

“Washington rang me up and was so kind and you can tell he loves taking care of guests at Maman. The vanilla cloud cookie was so yummy along with Oprah’s fave - kitchen sink cookie. Such a treat if you’re looking for a mid-day lunch, coffee or a snack. They also have craft cocktails and a happy hour. Definitely check them out!“

“I will always seek out a Levain! Their gluten free, vegan chocolate chip with walnuts is incredible. The chocolate melts in your mouth, no matter how long these cookies have been at room temp. It’s small inside the store so just don’t plan on having room to sift down inside.“

“This resturaunt was amazing! The service was absolutely the best, the food was sooooo delicious and flavorful and the ambiance was great. Definitely will be going there again.“

“No other bakery like Seylou. We travel in to the city every weekend to eat here. The staff is so kind and feels like an extension of our family. They’ve taken my child behind the scenes and shown him how grains are killed and bread is baked. I could not ask for a better community and diet staple.“

“Stopped by on my way over to Washington DC. Tried the buffet on Saturday, it's a pretty small buffet, but everything prepared is fresh, even the chutneys.
It's pretty hard to find fresh food, especially in a buffet setting. Because restaurants are usually trying to pass leftover food for their buffet.
Wood flooring, nice chandelier and friendly service.“

“Three of us had a perfect dining experience. The dining room is well designed, and it is easy to hear one's companions. The service is crisp and professional. We enjoyed the soup of the day and several tapas, all of which were great. The fried eggplant drizzled with honey were a unique, terrific surprise. Can't wait to go back and have this dish again. One of us was celebrating a birthday, and there was a lovely card on the table when we arrived, and 2 plates of dessert nibbles arrived at the end of the meal. And, a short walk to the Metro was refreshing after dinner! We'll be back soon.“

“Great local pizza place, crust is amazing, fresh toppings and good cookies!“

“Philly Cheesesteak Grilled Cheese was absolutely amazing and the Mac N Cheese is GREAT! Highly recommend“

“We’ve always loved Baked & Wired’s goods, and we knew they would make the perfect cake for our wedding day. Of course, they delivered. Baked & Wired was very easy to work with and the cake was just right! Our guests loved it, and we can’t wait to eat the last slice on our one year anniversary!“

“Great place to grab a drink and meet new people and don’t forget the amazing brunch every Saturday and Sunday 11:00 and 1:00pm.“

“Fun sitting on the swings to eat! Sausage pizza was really good and my daughter said the gluten free margherita pizza was good, too!“

“It is an absolute necessity to start the day with something truly healthy, so I decided to stay at a hotel close to this location for easy mornings. I grabbed a juice, bowl and alkaline water to go. It was great to have healthy food on the go that kept me feeling good all day. The cashier was friendly and personable.“

“Server was nice and vigilant about dietary restrictions. Flan was excellent. Burger was undercooked but not bad.“

“A chill little bakery with fantastic pastries, cookies and croissants, as well as quality coffee. Also ordered a cake for my husband's birthday and it was a major hit!“

“Had the braised mushroom tacos, sweet potato tacos, and mushroom quesadillas. Everything was very tasty and service was quick. The takeout boxes were also super cute and easy to take out, which we did at a plaza with tables next door. Came here because my girlfriend is celiac, but left impressed with the food.“

“Delicious tea, scones, chai, and latkas“

“We were looking for unique dining experiences while on vacation in DC and this place did not disappoint!! Excellent food, large portions, and great staff. Would definitely come here again if we’re ever back in the area.“

“Food and service were outstanding!“

“The cookies are so fresh and full of flavor. Also am a big fan of the coffee.“

“Compliments to the Chef. The Michelin star is so deserved. The setting in pics seems strange but please trust the staff and the kitchen, EAT HERE. We Loved it. Try the Marrow starter and if you are from IRL or the UK the beans and pork belly is next level. BRAVO“

“Our group was visiting from out of town and wanted to find a coffee shop within walking distance from our airbnb.
We saw the great reviews for Sylvan cafe and decided to stop in.
I got a Chai latte and veggie omelet which were affordable and very tasty! I’d highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area“

“Teaism Dupont Circle Washington, DC I am not a great cook and I get too tired of eating the same old thing day in and day out so I decided to try something new after leaving my acupuncture session today. Well, needless to say the creamy curry spinach with cheese cubes and brown rice made my day.“

“Friendly! European atmosphere!“

“Decadent. My first pavlova ever and it was pretty good. Cookie sandwich is very dark chocolate with pecans and a nice contrast to sweetness of pavlova. Was skeptical that the gluten free part of the other pastry would be good but it was fine :)“

“lunch was delicious and the Gelato was even more delicious deliciouser! 😋 sitting outside across from Kennedy Center was a plus.“

“We love Washington DC so my wife and I wanted some pizza. We were staying at the Embassy suites in NW so I googled pizza that was close by. Pizzoli‘s pizzeria came up. It looked good so we took an Uber there and the pizza was excellent. We ordered a simple pepperoni pizza and my wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. Made from scratch good. We were a little bit surprised in that it was a smaller establishment as we thought we were going to a place that had lots of tables, etc. This place has one inside table and five or six countertops to eat at and then they have several tables outside but as noted, the food was fantastic. Would certainly recommended, and we will be back home future visits.“

“All of the staff were super friendly. We definitely felt under dressed. I got the eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon. There wasn't much hollandaise sauce, so it was a bit dry and the Smoked Salmon was strong. Their potatoes and veggies needed seasoning. My daughter enjoyed her french toast. For basic Brunch, it was pricey. Not everything they offer is on the menu, we had to ask about juice and coffee.“

“Very beautiful area. The quiche was the best I’ve ever had! Very cozy place.“

“Great food! Great service! Great people!“

“Fresh delicious and healthy! Friendly staff clean and welcoming atmosphere.“

“While in the area, I stumbled upon this hidden gem. From the moment that I walked in, I was greeted politely, informed of the days special and offered a tasting. Everything was so delicious that I can't only recommend one item. Will definitely be a repeat customer in the near future.“

“Today I had the best fried chicken sandwich since Kevin Tien’s Perfect seasoning—a little heat but not too much, smashed avocado, coleslaw, and chicken that had just the right amount of crispy covering that kept the chicken moist. I can’t wait to return for another.“

“Authentic Indian cuisine served with care—RASA never misses. A flavorful escape right in the neighborhood.“

“We meet friends here for brunch and 10 out of 10 experience. The servers were attentive and barely let out mimosas get halfway empty. The food was great and a large selection of items to choose from. I would definitely visit again when in the city.“

“fire 🔥 bakery and exceptional treats. I have been spoiled on vacation from Alaska. I have ordered almost everything off the menu.... the Croissants are divine. highly recommend!!“

“Awesome pastries, bread and other baked goods. Very creative seasonal menu that uses fruit and veggies at the peak of their flavor. Love love love it!“

“Great cold brew! We saw this coffee shop in a few locations around town during our visit, and were excited to stop by and try it. The cold brew was delicious - I definitely recommend having one if you like iced coffees. The hot drip coffee was also great! The decor is cute, and there’s plenty of seating. My only constructive critique is that the team members working didn’t greet us when we walked in - they just looked at us…which was really awkward. When we engaged them by asking questions and ordering, they were nice, so that was a good thing. Coffee and ambiance were great, so I’d visit again next time I’m in DC. I recommend!“

“I was lucky enough to visit while in DC for a conference. It was an excellent stop...absolutely superb service, great food and beer. I loved the vibe of the neighborhood too. I'll definitely go back next time in DC.“

“The food is good, but I’m gonna have to remove stars because of the customer service. 😕 When I first entered, I wasn’t greeted. The associate just stared at me, as if to say “I don’t have all day. Are you gonna order anything?” She had the most stony expression… It was only my second time here, so I was quite sure I had not had any negative encounters with anyone. I was trying to get suggestions and ask questions about certain things, but every time I asked a question about something, the server just dumped it in the bowl. He never answered the question. When I got to the cashier, I apologized, because I wondered if I had done something wrong. But he just referred to me as “diva,” and tried to assure me that nothing was wrong. I told him I didn’t appreciate being called a diva. I just don’t like being treated like I’m a problem when I haven’t done anything. I gave two stars for service, because my first experience was so amazing! I don’t know what happened.“

“The Chai is my latest obsession! Stopped in while visiting the White House and was blown away. The food was freshly prepared, hot and tasty. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely frequent this eatery if I lived locally. For now, I am ordering their Chai online.“

“The manager was extremely kind and knowledgeable. He was patient while I asked him questions about my various allergies and gave recommendations with those in mind. The food 🤤 DELICIOUS. The proteins were not dry and well seasoned. Everything was fresh and the portions were generous. Right after I finished my bowl, I ordered one to go! Highly recommend ✨10/10 will return again!“

“The staff are super friendly and they serve food right on time. Food is fresh and sumptuous. Price is reasonable and place has a great simple and clean ambience. Definitely a must go. 💯💯💯“
