Gluten-Free Restaurants in Chicago, IL

“Incredible experience everytime. 2nd birthday and one anniversary celebrated here. The service is phenomenal with how welcoming, attentive and intentional they are.

The food is incredible as always. It is one of the most fine dining meals I've ever had quite honestly with flavor, ingredients, presentation and creativity.

I love this place.“

“Wonderful restaurant. Food was excellent very close to what I had in Rome. Staff very friendly and made our dining very enjoyable! Go here!!“

“Cannot stress enough how amazing this place is!!! Not only is the toasted marshmallow hot cocoa life changing, the food is absolutely delicious, and the staff is so pleasant to be around! They definitely made our lunch special today! Will definitely be back every time I visit Chicago!“

“Girl & the Goat completely exceeded my expectations! very good food“

“I am so glad I found this bread. For someone that not only has an issue with wheat and dairy but also oat, barley and rye this was such a joy to find this bread. I was skeptical at first but when I tried the bread it was AMAZING!!! The price is wonderful as well. This bread is so much better as to what you can get at your local store and also you don't have to make it. Just freeze it and then take it out and bake it! Wonderful!!! This is the only bread that I will order from now on. Please keep making it for all of us that need this bread. God Bless you all!!!!!“

“The granola is moist, not dry and hard. The taste is amazing. I've tried all 6 flavors of granola and they all are so good. The cookie bars are delicious too (Peppermint Toffee and the cookie bar with the almonds). I can't say which is a favorite, I like them all. Great taste, consistency, wholesome ingredients that complement each other. VERY GOOD!“

“Vito welcomed my friend and I with such love and generosity as soon as we entered! It's quite pleasant and considerate of him to note the heat outdoors and ask if we would like a cup of cold water to cool us down while we made our order decisions. He provided us with first-rate service, and the food arrived quickly! Vito makes this a destination worth traveling to for the purposeful, excellent service alone! I would strongly advise anyone to visit this place! And Vito, thank you very much!“

“We stopped in today on a tip and what a delicious treat! Highly recommend!“

“Great food, family friendly!“

“This breakfast place is top notch. They are very creative with their dishes, and it should be a crime not to order their pancakes. Wildberry was right next to my hotel, and was very nice to walk to and eat in the morning, plus the service was decently quick. They serve large portions and you will not leave feeling hungry. Note, the wait time later in the morning can get a little longer, but overall great experience.“

“This late night vegan food really hit the spot! So yummy!“

“A must-visit for ice cream lovers! Great service, spotless space, and a fun atmosphere that turns a simple ice cream stop into a memorable experience. The décor is delightful, charming, and, whimsical. And, of course, the ice cream itself is divine — rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor in every bite. Whether you go classic chocolate or try one of their inventive seasonal creations, you can taste the quality.“

“Today CheSa was in my building The Franklin downtown and of course I had to support my own! I got the 4 cheese Mac/jerk chicken bowl. Not too spicy but had a nice kick. Chicken was tender. Only issue is the juice from the chicken made the Mac and Cheese runny at the bottom“

“We had a delicious breakfast and the service was Excellent. Looking forward to coming back for lunch and mock tails.“

“My only criticism is the totally overwhelming choice! Bravo to this place for creating a very chilled and inclusive diner :)
I had the Cuban, it was nice. Staff super friendly. Almost 100% vegan, all vegetarian, house or locally made vegan subs are used. It was a great place to wait for the post-game traffic to die down!“

“I ordered the gluten free deep dish stuffed pizza and let me tell you, BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD. CRIED TEARS OF JOY BECAUSE IT WAS THAT GOOD. 10/10, CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH.“

“The best crab cakes I’ve had. Loved the atmosphere and the food was fantastic!! Absolutely recommend this all day, every day!“

“Wonderful service and excellent rolls!! Overall great experience“

“Our server was amazing! Had a wonderful time ❤️“

“I never have complaints when I eat from BIBIBOP! My food is always fresh and delicious. Whether it's the Salmon, chicken, steak or Korean Barbeque, the proteins are tasty. Being able to load up on veggies, toppings and sauces of my choosing from the generous offerings is a big plus in my book. I like to choose the sweet potato noodles as my base and work from there. They also offer rice bases and veggie bases. They are totally vegan, vegetarian and gluten free friendly. I highly recommend BIBIBOP for lunch or dinner on the go. Download the app and place your order for super quick in-store pickup. The points from ordering in-app add up really quickly for free tasty rewards. If you enjoy lighter fare with lots of flavor, make a trip to BIBIBOP. You won't be disappointed.“

“Fantastic restaurant in the neighborhood serves excellent food and donuts and takes care of the neighborhood and the world. So grateful for their presence in Rogers Park. Also the peach spicy Sammy is to die for.“

“Had the Pastrami Ruben, best I've ever had!! Highly recommend and I will make the trip again just for this place.“

“One of my favorite Rogers Park restaurants! Everything is made by hand and they truly care about what’s on your plate. Friday night pizza is amazing, and I could not love their cocktails more. I also love that they have a core menu, but always have really fun and delicious specials.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Sweet Maple Cafe in the 9th District, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share my experience! The food was absolutely incredible—each bite was a delightful treat. A special shoutout to Twilla, the manager, and her wonderful staff, who made us feel right at home with their warm hospitality. Supporting our local businesses is so important, and Sweet Maple Cafe is a shining example of the quality and care we have in our community. I highly recommend stopping by for a meal—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Always loved their Greek pastries, they are the best, started going to them 60 yrs ago with my mom and dad. We were always going to Hellas for our parties baptisms and weddings. All our holiday needs were easily available for us. Unfortunately, we moved out to Poplar Grove, Illinois near Belvedere and have missed them greatly. Always love them and it brings a tears to my eyes, that they are still around. God bless them. My parents knew the owners personally.“

“Just back from Copenhagen and Helsinki, ate a croissant a day. Verzenay is still champ.“

“I ordered a Matcha Chi iced latte and it was BOMB! A comedian also came in that I recognize from LA and said hello. Super cute space & environment 🫶🏾 I also live in Springfield IL and this is my first experience!“

“Sugar Moon is a charming bakery and café in Logan Square that’s perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. Their pastries, cookies, and cakes are beautifully crafted and incredibly flavorful—everything tastes fresh and made with care. The coffee and espresso drinks pair perfectly with the baked goods, making it a great spot for breakfast or a mid-afternoon treat. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with friendly staff who make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. A must-visit for delicious desserts and a relaxed, cheerful vibe.“

“I drive 2 hours 1 way to get their treats! Celiac safe!“

“Macaron Bar is a delight! Oh my, the treats are spectacular. Try the pistachio, earl grey, dark chocolate, and coffee especially - absolutely delicious. The texture of the macaron is also stunningly perfect- so hard to achieve, yet they nail it. They are little works of art. We met Sam who works there and she was so sweet to me and my son. We will definitely be back!“

“OH! Are you in for a TREAT when you dine here. The food is sensational. We have traveled all of the world and lived all over the United States. The cuisine here is unique and out of this world. The recipes are unique to this restaurant. We have eaten at other Ethiopian restaurants. They do not even register next to this one. The Proprietor is SOOOOO nice. And, ask him what brought him to the United States. It's an emotionally moving story. If you haven't had Ethiopian cuisine before, it is NOT scary. There are hardy vegetarian and meatatarian dishes. So, there's something for everyone. And, the dishes that are spicy are mild. So, don't worry about your sensitive belly. The meal is a SHARED experience. So, make sure you bring friends. They will thank you afterwards for sure☺“

“This was by far the best authentic Italian dinner I've experienced since living for 3 years in Naples Italy 22 years ago. AMAZING food and service with extremely reasonable pricing for the quality. A special acknowledgent and appreciation to Maria that brought the experince to the next level. Great conversations, so inviting and professional! Thank you Maria, I'll certainly recommend to all my frineds and colleagues to come and enjoy as well!“

“Loved the diffrent variety of cupcakes.“

“The atmosphere is relaxed. The service is pleasant. The Parisienne sandwich makes me realize how wonderful simple can be. I crave that sandwich. I ate it for lunch today and already can’t wait for the next time.“

“There’s lots of options to choose from (more on the sweeter side). Heads up, this is a grab and go bakery, therefore, there is no indoor seating (only a bar to stand at outside). They will also not heat up the pastries :/

The hot fudge babka $6⭐️4/5
It did not really taste like it had chocolate… it was still delicious, but it tasted more like an apples strudel and banana bread mix—yummy but not chocolate babka lol

The smoked ham brown grainy mustard + Gruyère croissant ($7.50) ⭐️2/5
This didn’t hit it for me :/ If you know you love gruyère cheese, then I say give it a go, if you’re unsure, probably try something else?

Update:
Hot fudge croissant ⭐️3.5/5
A bit on the drier side and I felt that they skimped on the chocolate a bit. But it was a delicious pastry

Blackberry cheesecake danish ⭐️3/5
This was yummy and an easy to-go eat. I wish there was a bit more cheese tho

Banana bread cold brew ⭐️4/5
Idk how they do it, but this legit tastes like banana bread in a drink. Perfect for the fall season.“

“Very cool place! Love the merging of hard ciders and beers. Definitely will visit again on my next Chicago trip“

“Absolutely. Amazing. WOW!“

“Great brew!! Pancakes were the bomb!!“

“Food and service is a 10/10“

“Where do I start… service 100 percent professional and helpful, knowledgeable about wine pairings, food was the best from start to finish. Me and my wife go to a steakhouse in every city we visit and let me tell you it’s hard to nail all aspects of dining,apps, mains, dessert, and wine, but RPM blew me away! This is my #1 steakhouse I have visited in the world…I have been to 30 plus states, 15 countries and nothing has come close to this experience.“

“Been here various times because this bakery specializes in croissants! This is the place for the variety of croissants you can’t find in other bakeries.
My favorite is the cheese filled croissant.
I also recently brought pastries for the office and everyone loved them!
The place can be hard time find and is hidden but that makes it much greater!“

“Met for a brainstorming session…their coffee is a catalyst for sure! Great selection of healthy options with just enough sinful options to keep it balanced!“

“Amazing place to visit. The staff is friendly and helpful.“

“Yummy, delicious, flavorful cookies, and friendly staff. We stood in line outside as they were super busy, but so worth it!“

“Excellent place for healthier sweets!“

“So today I had a friend in from out of town and we topped off our afternoon with a visit to Miski Bakery. I was dying to try the alfajores, and they did not disappoint! The very delicate morsels melted in our mouth, and the creamy luscious dollop of dulce de leche caramel was a perfect pairing. In addition we tried the Milhojas/Napoleons in two flavors the Lucuma pastry creme and also the dulce de leche. A thousand layers is correct, these were amazingly tall, crispy and filled with air, both were delicious but the Lucuma(a Peruvian fruit) pastry creme was the standout. It had such a delightful delicate flavor I had never tasted previously. After speaking with Carmen the owner I asked whether or not they ever carried Turrón de doñja Pepa. She just happened to have some freshly baked sitting on the tray behind the counter, but alas it was still awaiting its filling. This gives me a great reason to return and indulge in that special treat. It is prepared every other week. The service was warm and friendly. This is definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood you shouldn't miss out on. I will be returning often.“

“I just walked out of the door and am so glad that God sent us there. We tried 3 places prior to walking in CheSa’s doors which was a definite blessing. We had the catfish skillet, bourbon peach cobbler franchise toast, chicken sausage and scrabbles eggs w/cheese washed down with a breakfast martini. Absolutely delicious and with the owner/chef being very warm w/great hospitality. We’re definitely going back.“

“j'ai passé le meilleur moment ici. La nourriture était si bonne. J'y suis allé avec mes filles après le travail. Maintenant je vais dans ce café presque tous les jours ❤️“
