Gluten-Free Restaurants in Asheville, NC

“Absolutely incredible vegan food! Plant is a more upscale vegan restaurant, and it delivers on every level. The atmosphere is elegant but welcoming, and the food is amazing. The cheese platter is a must-try, so flavorful and beautifully presented. I also loved the ravioli; it was rich, creative, and perfectly done. Whether you’re vegan or not, this place is absolutely worth a visit!“

“Excellent service and delicious food.“

“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!!“

“The food and service were fantastic! However, the reason I will return every time I visit Asheville is not actually food related. The owners fed their employees and their families the entire time they were shut down for Covid. The owner’s husband is involved in many global humanitarian projects. While I was reading the Cantina’s historical wall display, the researcher responsible for the wall came and spent about 20 minutes chatting with me about the area’s history. I was moved by life work of the people associated with the restaurant and will return in support of goodness in the world.“

“Fantastic food, ambiance, and service…“

“We went here for our anniversary and had an exceptional experience. We were given a card signed by the staff, congratulating us on our occasion, as well as given multiple free things to celebrate. The food was excellent, and they had an extremely extensive wine menu as well. The waitress was also excellent and checked in on it quite often. We were told by multiple staff members happy anniversary and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!!!!“

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

“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 😋“

“Excellent service. I strongly recommend Mr Ralph Carico to those who wants to trade and invest in forex/crypto. He made over $3,400 with my little capital $500 While managing my account in less than 7 days. I couldn’t have asked for more! Contact him Ralph Carico“

“The food was good but some of it was overly spicy - and I like some spice. The service was fine. The server forgot to bring sweetener for my tea. My main issue is that even though some of the restaurant was renovated, some areas still look worn.“

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

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

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

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

“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.“

“We are obsessed with the Better than Sex cake. Oder it every time I stay over in Asheville to work our store“

“Chef Michael catered our daughter's wedding and we could not have been more pleased. The food and service was wonderful. We received many compliments and most importantly, as mother of the bride, I did not have to worry about a thing during the entire event. They simply made everything happen beautifully. Incredibly professional, talented team and most importantly fantastic food.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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“

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

“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!!!“

“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"“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Our reservation was for 3:30 and they were not super busy at that time. LOVED IT. Great atmosphere, we ordered the salmon and the rueben, both were excellent. Crystal was super at guessing our every need, wonderful personality, too. Prices were in line with Colorado, so no surprises there. Parking simple. . All was memorable!“

“Great taste and fresh plenty to eat.“
