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.“

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

“Fantastic food, ambiance, and service…“

“We really love this place. We went on the tour Wednesday 9/25, second time for what we imagine as an annual event since we go up there every September. I don’t know how bad the damage is but seeing as how they’re right on Riverside drive I’m worried although I did notice that the factory part of the building was well elevated from the ground level. If anyone knows please reply.“

“addie loves ashville cantina Louie's. great food and the best waitress Bre.“

“This is a favorite! The staff is so friendly and helpful. Yummiest drinks, great atmosphere and I love that harnessed cats are welcome 😸“

“We chose Posana, where we had eaten before, based on past experiences and the gluten free menu. It involved a birthday, but we try to lowkey those, especially as we get older. Our server, Allie, and her trainee went the extra mile to give excellent service and make us feel very welcome. There were several other dietary restrictions which were easily accommodated. The kale salad and both entrees were quite good. There was even a dessert that was tweaked a bit so I could enjoy it which is usually not true in most restaurants. We were in the front part of the dining room which was somewhat quieter, but it was a Saturday night so there was a full house and the noise that comes with it. They did acknowledge the occasion with a card signed by the employees ( fun to imagine them lined up to do that). We had not been to Posana much this year as we are a bit last minute, so reservations (necessary during tourist season) were a problem. However, we plan to return in the near future. I would strongly recommend it which I don't do often.“

“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!“

“I highly recommend any business that steps up for their community in times of need. thank you for getting those 596 people fed yesterday!! kudos!“

“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!!!!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“my favorite is the Rebel and I love the homemade punch. we drive from Al. at least 4 times a year just so I can eat here. The flavors just pop in your mouth. Coming today for July 4th. I wish they would come to Birmingham, Al. Love love Nine Mile.“

“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 😋“

“Our choices for Asian cuisine in WNC are very limited. Fortunately, P.F. Changs is only 25 minutes away, with an interesting menu that (tonight) was fresh and delicious. Crab Wonton is our go-to appetizer, but we also enjoyed the BBQ spare ribs. Kung Pao chicken and pepper steak were our entrees. They also had a delicious and smoky Asian Old Fashioned cocktail, which we recommend.“

“Luella’s pulled pork is absolutely delicious! It’s hands down some of the best I’ve ever had. Super tender and full of flavor. A definite go-to if you’re craving top-notch barbecue. Highly recommend!“

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

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

“We had a pre-wedding dinner at the Rabbit Hole and it couldn’t have gone better. From the initial communication, to the wonderful space, everything was great and perfect for a smaller gathering. But oh my goodness, the FOOD got rave reviews all around. You cannot go wrong with what you choose because everyone loved everything we chose for our menu. Recommended so much some of our wedding guests went back to Sunny Point for brunch after the wedding.“

“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!!“

“Fantastic breakfast sandwiches. Love this spot!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“An asset to our community for two decades and still going.“

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

“Amazing food. Best Italian food i have eaten. In a long time. They have indoors and indoors seating, plus a small bar with some stools. My wife and I had the chicken marsala and picatta, respectively, and both were amazing with yummy mash and broccoli. Definitely recommend this place.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

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

“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.“

“My go-to pizza place. Huge slices and good prices. I'm a bit of a pizza snob from the northeast, and their pizza is pretty good. I've had other pizza in town that isn't as good while being over priced. When trying pizza somewhere else, I catch myself telling friends, "Standard Pizza is better"“

“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.“

“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. 🤤 😋“

“There is no better bakery because there is no better cookie than the West End Matcha Cookie! 💚✅“

“Great taste and fresh plenty to eat.“
