Gluten-Free Restaurants in Asheville, NC

“Food was absolutely delicious. Cheese plate a vegan cheese lovers dream. Amazing service by Vic! She paid close mind to the nut allergy at our table and was very attentive and kind. Highly recommend for vegans and non vegans alike! Save room for dessert!!!“

“my friends and I visited Monday after the herb festival and had the best food of our whole trip at Chestnut! they had the Eggs Benedict and I chose the burger gluten free. all our meals were amazing and the care our waitress put into asking about my gluten issues was so appreciated! I do believe it was the best gluten free burger fries and cheese tots I have eaten ever! Thank you so much for taking the time and going the extra mile for those of us with Celiac. Crystal ( I hope that's right, my mind is old lol)was truly awesome and everyone needs to experience this place and her! 500 stars!!“

“Excellent service and delicious food.“

“Where to start?! I’ve been gluten free for more than 15 years. It’s hard to find good gluten free dessert (even making your own)! My hubby surprised me with a cake from Butterbug’s and WOW! Everything they’ve made is delicious! I love the flavor combinations. I cannot recommend them enough!! My latest scrumptious treat…Pink Paradise Grapefruit Cheesecake! It was mouthwatering!!!!“

“We originally had no intention of taking a detour to the French Broad Chocolate Factory along the French Broad river on the south end of the Asheville River Arts District, but our visit turned into a wonderfully pleasant surprise. We opted for the guided tour which lasted roughly 45 minutes, and included a brief classroom exhibition about the history of the company and the modern cultivation and production of chocolate. At no point were we bored or disinterested, and remained engaged thanks to our wonderful guide. The highlights of the tour including the large windows which allowed us to witness production in action, along of course with the several opportunities to taste their phenomenal products! We would recommend the visit to anyone who is vacationing to, or a resident of Asheville, or would just appreciate a fun diversion for an afternoon.“

“I make my own ginger ale and this has made mine tasting like trash. The tulsi tea was exceptional as well. This has definitely been the most enjoyable ginger beer I have had.“

“Patrick was an outstanding waiter. Michael (?) that was his assistant was great. \nRestaurant vibe excellent. The beef tartare rivals any I have had. The short rib was great, tender. Gemelli pasta good, but a little off. Really wanted to like mushrooms but too much balsamic - more butter and wine! The dessert was disappointing, a very stiff tiramisu. Taste okay but rather “concrete’ in texture.“

“Every time we’re in town this is our go to spot. Shredded selections and Brisket yum! Meats r In some sort of marinated vinegar process, don’t even use added sauces it’s perfect alone! Favorite spot to sit at is the bar area where Ian provides wonderful service! The mustard based potato salad side and hush puppies a great addition. Also don’t forget to end with the delicious homemade Banana pudding, you’re welcome! 😋 See you next season Ian!!!“

“First time there, sampled many items from the menu (8 to be exact) everything was fantastic! Great service and atmosphere!“

“Great restaurant, food is amazing! Best tacos I have ever tried.“

“Cool little place! Split one of the vanilla sandwiches because it was so big! The ice cream was great and the cookies were soft and delicious! Friendly staff as well. Will be back from TN!“

“Rocky’s came Highly recommended from Emma, at the tasting room Eda Ryne. The very best food we have eaten in a LONG time!! The fried green tomatoes with pepper jelly and goat. Cheese were the Best Ever, along with the Medium fried chicken! I'll be telling everyone I know that visits the Biltmore, to stop here for lunch/ dinner!“

“Love dobra tea. Vibe is so nice in downtown and WAvl. I haven’t been to EAvl location. Food selection great for vegetarians. Amazing tea selection. Great place to just bring a book or some work reading and focus.“

“Best chocolate shop in Asheville. The salted dark chocolate was my favorite. Good espresso and gelato too!“

“Old Europe gvl is not the same as old Europe pastries. Asheville old Europe the best and not the same owners.“

“We have been eating here for over a decade. Came back for the first time post-Helene, and it was such a welcoming, comforting experience!! I had the special which was INCREDIBLE. We brought a Vegetarian Platter home and had it later for dinner- delicious.“

“Service and food is great! One of our favorite places!“

“The food is incredible and the service is absolutely amazing! One of our favorite places in Asheville!“

“Best pizza in town! I could eat there every day!“

“I love everything about Nine Mile and I’ll die on that hill. They are amazing, professional and super kind people. The food- always amazing. The beer- so so good! The salad dressings the hot sauce! So good!“

“So glad we found this place. When we first walked in I was hesitant to stay but so glad we did! Food was sooooo good and drinks were awesome! Highly recommend beer cheese & chips, spicy margarita (wonderful blend of flavor not too spicy) and Mac n cheese with steak, bacon & mushrooms 😋“

“Fantastic coffee! Better than any Starbucks I’ve ever been to!“

“My wife and I have made it a holiday tradition to dine at The Original Vinnie’s Neighborhood Italian every time we visit Asheville. If you’re looking for a meal that feels genuinely authentic and welcoming, this is the one spot you absolutely have to visit.\n\nThe Food We started with the house-made fried mozzarella sticks, and I’m not exaggerating when I say they are by far the best I’ve ever had. For the main course, I had the sausage, peppers, and onions, while my wife went with the twice-baked lasagna. Both dishes were delicious, high-quality, and more than enough to satisfy a hearty appetite.\n\nThe Service We did have a small hiccup getting a table when we first arrived, but the manager was excellent. Once the issue was brought to their attention, they stepped in immediately to make sure we were seated and taken care of quickly.\n\nOne Quick Tip The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is the parking. It’s notoriously difficult to find a spot nearby, and since they do not take reservations, you’ll want to arrive well ahead of time to account for the hunt for a parking space and the likely wait for a table.\n\nIt’s a local favorite for a reason—totally worth the extra effort!“

“I’ve been seeing AVLCAKELADY everywhere and finally got to try it tonight. When I say it was amazing!!! Didn’t disappoint at all!!!! It was so moist and flavorful!!“

“We had the California Club and the Italian hoagies. They were absolutely amazing. I highly advise them both and leave everything on it. I usually change things or leave off some but I didn’t and I loved ot as my wife did too.“

“Amazing food! Good folks too, the heart of Asheville.“

“Very good food. I will visit again the next time I am in Asheville.“

“Recently went to Asheville for a long weekend vacation. We had our breakfast at Owl every single morning! All of the baked goods, sweet and savory, rival anything found anywhere. Delicious lattes are served by the most charming staff! I would drive back to Asheville just to visit this beautiful bakery.“

“Stopped by on Saturday as we were waiting on our table at Sunny Pointe. Amazing food! Super-friendly staff. Awesome vibe!! We will adding it to our list of “musts” for our regular Asheville weekends. 5+ stars!“

“Love everything about Penny Cup. Coffee is amazing and Kora loves the Pup Cups ☕️“

“Fantastic breakfast sandwiches. Love this spot!“

“Burgers are delicious and fries are amazing. Can't wait to try some other items on the menu. Nice atmosphere great service.“

“I hadn’t had 비빔밥 since 1985 in Korea. It was even better than I remembered. Everything was delicious and we will be back soon!“

“There was a wonderful variety of items to choose from, it was difficult to decide. We would have gotten the jalapeño fries and cauliflower tacos but their main frier wasn’t working so we got the chorizo tacos, coconut curry and sweet potato Ruben which came with crispy homemade fries (they have a small frier that was working). We don’t enjoy vegan cheese that is made using Science so we opted for the cashew queso which was absolutely delicious. The tacos were our favorite item. The texture and taste were a solid 10 out of ten. Which made me miss trying the cauliflower tacos even more. The Ruben was our 2nd favorite. I usually have tempeh meat on a Ruben so I couldn’t imagine how they could make sweet potato taste “meaty” but they did. It was so delicious, I will be looking up how to make that “sweet potato meat” at home. The Thai Panang Curry was the only disappointment. It was fresh tasting and the tofu was fried to crispy perfection. It just needed more sauce. I got the Blackberry Ginger Mint mocktail. It was just the right amount of sour and was a beautiful presentation. Our only regret was not leaving room for dessert. If we lived in Asheville we would be regulars at this establishment. Our server was also Excellent! She was attentive without being intrusive. She pre-bussed the table and refilled our water glasses and asked if we needed another round and brought us our food perfectly timed! We went back the next day and had the Tostada Enchilada salad (it’s the choriso taco grown up), the Supreme pizza with no cheese (nice crispy crust and a good amount of sauce), the Amaretto Cherry Cheesecake (absolutely worth going back just for that!) the peanut butter cookie (the only disappointment) and the Lime Aid (perfecly balanced and not too sweet). But I preferred the one yesterday. Another wonderful server. Love this place! Updated from previous review on 2025-03-02“

“Would give 1,000 stars if I could. My wife and I both agreed this was the best burger, fries, and onion rings we’ve ever had. Highly recommend!“

“Having taken the tour, I can really appreciate the effort that goes into making such a quality product. I might have to come back and buy more, because one can never have too much chocolate.“

“Food was great our waitress was great and informative.“

“I heard about Biscuit Head about a month ago, through a Facebook ad. We were in Asheville to visit Biltmore after Christmas,and visited Biscuit Head on Biltmore Ave twice in two days! The whole staff was so friendly, and the vibe in the restaurant is so fun!! Everything we had both days was fantastic! I ordered the Mimosa fried chicken biscuit both days, and the biscuit donuts, as well! I had to keep apologizing to my family because I was making too many “yum” noises. My husband said the sausage gravy was the best he’s had in ever, and your coffee was great!! When we left yesterday, we genuinely intended to come back for Brunch #3, but the moods were not in our favor today. We look forward to coming back next time we are in Asheville!!“

“We come all the time because we always get the BEST service. It's always a wonderful experience. The staff is ALWAYS so friendly, inviting and informative. We recently had Holly and Tina as our servers and they were absolutely fantastic! Would recommend!“

“Best cold brew and blueberry muffin I’ve had in a long time served by incredibly kind employees! ☕️“

“The crust is Amazing!! We had the Florentine and the Scarface they both were Awesome!!! 5 star!! The staff Katlyn and Chester the chef were very kind!! Definitely must try!! Kudo's!!!“

“Love dobra tea. Vibe is so nice in downtown and WAvl. I haven’t been to EAvl location. Food selection great for vegetarians. Amazing tea selection. Great place to just bring a book or some work reading and focus.“

“They've sadly removed some of the old classic non-pizza items from their menu since the pandemic, but they are still an awesome place with great food and great brews as well.“

“I love ❤️ the Rooftop with live music, friendly staff and good service 👌.“

“The food was wonderful. I would certainly eat there again when in Asheville.“

“Strada Italiano really impressed me. It has an inviting, upscale vibe that’s perfect for a night out. The vegan food was delicious—creative, flavorful, and satisfying. The ravioli especially was so good, easily one of the best dishes I’ve had in a while. Their drink menu is excellent too, with options that pair perfectly with the meal. Highly recommend for a night out with amazing food and a cozy atmosphere!“

“Last years birthday cake for my wife was my first purchase They have the Vegan cakes. I am on my way to pick up this years cake and it has become a yearly ritual now. Lemon blueberry cream with fruit topping. 🤤 😋“
