3. Toad Style
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Emy MooreBed-Stuy’s Toad Style is not only largely gluten-free, but it’s also vegan. The whimsical, counter-service restaurant pulls flavors from around the globe in dishes such as barbecue jackfruit, mushroom banh mi, and gluten-free waffles. Any sandwich can be made gluten-free by putting it on a corn tortilla, and the rest of the dishes are already mainly compliant. Bonus: It’s BYOB.

4. Dirt Candy
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Tiffany WoodsIn 2015, chef Amanda Cohen moved her acclaimed vegetarian restaurant from a tiny East Village storefront to a larger space on the Lower East Side. Cohen is particularly sensitive to the fact that people with dietary restrictions visit Dirt Candy; nearly everything can be made gluten-free (or vegan) if asked. People particularly like the Brussels sprout tacos, which come out sizzling on a stone plate. Source: https://ny.eater.com/maps/nyc-best-gluten-free-restaurants
5. Santina
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Tiffany WoodsSantina’s colorful, breezy space sits right underneath the High Line — ideal for a brunch or a get-together to catch up with friends. The coastal Italian restaurant’s menu has many items that are naturally gluten-free, such as its selection of cecina, Italian chickpea pancakes. But pastas here are gluten-free too, including a cacio e pepe or lobster fettuccine. Grab a negroni to go along with it. This restaurant comes from Major Food Group, and accordingly, prices here veer on the slightly higher side. Those cecina range from $16 to $24, while mains are all $27 and up.

6. Hearth
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Tiffany WoodsAfter chef Marco Canora faced health problems, he revamped his East Village restaurant to focus on what he considers to be healthier food. Hearth now offers more offal, more vegetables, and even a burger without the bread. One section of the menu does offer "grains," but every other section is largely safe for the gluten-intolerant. The farm-to-table food has been a hit; Eater critic Ryan Sutton awarded the new version of the restaurant three stars. Source: https://ny.eater.com/maps/nyc-best-gluten-free-restaurants

10. Torishin
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Julia SThe yakitori restaurant with a tasting menu is one of the best places to try Japanese-style meat skewers in New York. Eater critic Ryan Sutton awarded the Upper East Side restaurant three stars. Meat eaters can sample parts of the animal that aren’t widely available at most restaurants, such as soft knee bones, whole heart, neck, and artery. There aren't really wheat products here, but particularly gluten-sensitive folk should notify the staff about allergies to avoid soy sauce.

12. Marea
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Julia SPasta expert Michael White’s acclaimed upscale Italian house near Central Park specializes in seafood, and a good portion of the menu comes naturally gluten-free. Focusing on the naturally wheat-free seafood dishes wouldn’t be a total mistake, but for those interested in partaking in pasta, Marea offers versions of it gluten-free to diners who ask for it. The Michelin-starred restaurant offers both lunch and dinner, including a $95 seafood tasting menu during the day. Source: https://ny.eater.com/maps/nyc-best-gluten-free-restaurants
13. Cosme
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Tiffany WoodsOne of New York’s most exciting restaurants just happens to be very friendly to people who are eating gluten-free. Chef Enrique Olvera, who opened the renowned Pujol in Mexico City, and Daniela Soto-Innes cook up modern Mexican food that's served in a comfortable environment. Most of the menu is accidentally gluten-free already, particularly due to an emphasis on corn instead of wheat. Both the Times and Eater critic Ryan Sutton awarded the Flatiron restaurant three stars. Source: https://ny.eater.com/maps/nyc-best-gluten-free-restaurants
14. Friedman's Lunch
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Tiffany WoodsThe casual restaurant first opened in Chelsea Market in 2009, and an original owner with celiac disease insisted on providing a mostly gluten-free menu — leading to pancakes, waffles, sandwiches, and more that arrive gluten-free upon request. Eater critic Robert Sietsema particularly likes the pastrami sandwich, a stand-out option that’s prone to sell out. It’s a classic American food staple for gluten-free diners and gluten eaters alike, and it now boasts seven locations. Source: https://ny.eater.com/maps/nyc-best-gluten-free-restaurants
