Gluten-Free Restaurants near Candler, NC

“What in the world???! I had driven by Whisk AVL for years and man am I kicking myself now. You can’t see the baked goods (I couldn’t from the car) but the prices were reasonable/on par with other bakeries.. Yall!! She’s tricking us! Charging us normal cinnamon roll prices and somehow the rolls themselves are bigger than your head! Worth it, stop by, you’ll be happy you did!“

“Stopped by right at closing because a family member knew the owner - got some wonderful pastries to take back with us and had a great conversation … they are doing great things for their community and they make great baked goods. Definitely recommend.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“There were four of us - two locals, two from NYC - and we all enjoyed the experience. Great service from Tenille, who took excellent care of us by being personable, knowledgeable, helping with various selections, and was gracious and funny to boot. The food - chopped salads for all, then chicken, pork chop, short ribs and trout - all excellently prepared. For dessert we shared a decadent lavender-chocolate artful creation that was delicious. Cocktails, wines, coffee all fantastic. A terrific outing.“

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

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!!!!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Any time we venture to Asheville (which happens often), we always make Nine Mile a priority. It’s a trifecta of awesomeness: great food, great service, and great atmosphere. We’ll always be back for more! 😋“

“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.“

“A delightful surprise! Really delicious food, made to order and slightly unusual. Bakery goods quite tasty. And prices are reasonable. Cute old stone house is the setting. We will return“

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

“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.“

“Fantastic breakfast sandwiches. Love this spot!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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“

“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"“

“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.“

“Great taste and fresh plenty to eat.“

“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!“

“Everything was so well done! Our dinner was delicious (we chose the corn bisque and heirloom tomato sandwich) and our server Sammy was so kind and attentive. She had such a pleasant and unrushed way about her that almost made you forget you were eating in a restaurant. Thank you!“

“My girlfriend and I were in town to celebrate our one year. We decided to try out Tupelo Honey. The food was absolutely fantastic and the service was amazing. It has a great atmosphere with an outdoor seating option with a view of downtown. If you’re ever in Asheville I HIGHLY recommend you giving Tupelo Honey a chance!“

“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. 🤤 😋“
