Gluten-Free Restaurants in Portland, ME

“I expected great coffee and got it, but the biscuits and scones were delicious- even better than my own homemade.“

“I've heard so much about this bakery, and was excited to visit. I lucked out as it was not too long of a line, and the bakery was still fully stocked at 10 am. It was hard to make a decision as everything looked so good, but I settled on a chocolate croissant, morning bun with walnuts, and a chocolate brownie. The chocolate croissant was airy but barely had any chocolate in it, so that was disappointing. Had I known that would be the case I would've purchased one of their regular croissants instead as they looked really good. The morning bun was a little overdone in my opinion as the edges were a little burnt. I tried it at room temperature and it was just okay, but I ended up heating it up and that is what it needed as it was really good when warm. The brownie is the star of the show (and the reason the bakery got four stars instead of three overall). The brownie was super fudgy, exactly how you want the perfect brownie to be!! Service was just okay, the person helping me wasn't very personable and just handed me the bag and walked away without saying anything.“

“Shared a lunch before a Maine Celtics game at the Expo. Easy walk and great food. Excellent service and perfect choice for the whole family. Empanadas were the consensus fave, but everything was fresh and yummy. Will definitely be back ...“

“my boyfriend and I are visiting from boston for new years and chose this as our NYE dinner spot, and it did not disappoint! I honestly wasn’t expecting much out of this place, but my expectations were surpassed. the vibe was really nice with all of the mood lighting, the staff was super friendly, and the food was delicious (& i’m not even huge on seafood). we got the carne asada fries, chipotle chicken, and fish tacos - all of which were so good. only gripe is that I reserved a “lounge” table and was seated at a tiny high top. other than that it was a great experience“

“I dream of their roti and curry dipping sauce, and no visit is complete without the ginger tofu noodles.“

“Rarely do I leave a review, but this place is outstanding and definitely deserves the hype! So good we returned for a second time over the course of our long weekend stay. First of all, the vibes inside this cute little café are immaculate. All the staff were warm, inviting (both times we went) and very attentive to provide a great dining experience. But let’s get to the best part, which is truly the food (the Como se dice Bon Giorno sandwich to be specific). The English muffins are made in house, and you can tell the difference! They take their delicious baked staples and curate them for the holiday/season. Is it a little pricier? Sure but nothing unexpected for dining in the Portland area, and the quality most certainly justifies the price. I highly recommend and definitely plan to return on following trips, as this is our new staple for breakfast in the Portland area!“

“Love this place and it NEVER disappoints ! We come here everytime we go out for breakfast. Warm welcoming service, amazing food choices & flavor at reasonable prices!! Make a resi as it is always bustling and busy.“

“The food is so delicious and authentic. Staff are so nice and politely. I love Mango Sticky Rice! The best Thai restaurant I really like to come back again 😊💯“

“Best sushi in Portland !!!!“

“Great food and service. Nice dining area.“

“I had the Pad Thai and some curry rice with chicken and veggies...Very delicious and lovingly prepared and arranged... for desert pumpkin sherbert and fried banana. very good !!“

“Absolutely amazing food! Everything came out at different times, which I know can seem stressful, but trust the process! Waiting an hour and ten minutes, but so glad I waiting. Couldn’t ask for better food all around. Our server Al was personable and professional, a total pro at his craft. Can’t wait to come back again!“

“The owner shops daily and locally for the freshest ingredients. He takes great pride in the quality of his dishes! Best around!! So tasty and fresh!!“

“This place is all right. They have a handful of different vendors and food places and there's a dining space upstairs. You would think this place would be packed and there'd be a whole bunch. More people in the weekends but always seems to be quiet and not all the vendors seem to be open at the same time.“

“Ordered for my first time yesterday. So thankful for another gluten free option in Portland. The orange chicken might be the best I’ve ever had (GF and non). Beef teriyaki also very good. Will be coming back!“

“I am sure Councilman Dion and Mrs Dion were just having an off night - my wife and Granddaughter and I had dinner on Friday night and my veal parmigiana was awesome and my wife’s asparagus and Gorgonzola ravioli was as great ! Jim our waiter must have lit the table candle 50 times for my granddaughter to keep blowing it out ! Brunos rocks !“

“It’s my dad’s and my go-to lunch spot, especially after Sunday morning church. Since he can’t hear from his left ear due to surgery, noisy places are hard for him to tolerate. El Rayo is perfect because it has a calm, comfortable atmosphere.“

“While staying at a nearby hotel, we ordered Portland Pie Co for pickup. It was ready within 20 minutes on a Friday night, which was great! The building and interior was very modern, and it smelled amazing inside!

We ordered to the chicken nachos and chicken broccoli alfredo for dinner, and loved both meals. You could taste the ingredients were fresh and made to order. Also, the portions are HUGE, and we felt the price was pretty competitive based on the quality and portion sizes! We'll be back on our next Portland trip!“

“The food here is consistently excellent and the service is solid. Mostly we eat in the regular dining room not the Hibachi side but have dined in both. Sushi is amazing quality and top notch. Goyoza is the best I have had anywhere. From the outside it may not look like much but trust me it is really great every time we go and we dine there a lot.“

“Nice bar and restaurant. Upstairs is best for nice dinning.“

“We ordered catering from Otto’s Pizza for our rehearsal dinner and it was excellent, as always. I’m a huge fan of Otto’s and they absolutely delivered. The order was ready right on time, the pizzas were hot and delicious, and everyone loved them.

The staff was incredibly kind and even helped carry the pizzas out to the car, which we really appreciated. Such an easy, stress-free experience with consistently amazing food. I would definitely recommend Otto’s for catering any event!“

“Just happened to stop here yesterday for a late lunch! So glad we did! My husband has had their pizza before I hadn't. The pizza was soo delicious! I ordered a Pineapple, Bacon & Hot Honey small pizza. It was one of the BEST pizza's I've ever eaten! I didn't take my receipt so I can't remember our waiters name & I wish I could because he deserves a shout out! He was amazing!! Would definitely recommend! & will definitely be back!“
