Where to Go for Gluten-Free Food in Miami
Nobody said guilt-free

Le Jardinier
Go ahead, indulge in that bread basket at Le Jardinier. This swanky outpost by a Joël Robuchon protege offers a bread basket that is completely sans gluten, along with a plethora of veggie-forward dishes that are full on flavor and free of gluten.
Harry's Pizzeria
Pizza lovers can get their fix at chef Michael Schwartz’s neighborhood joint, Harry’s Pizzeria. With two Miami locations, Harry’s Pizzeria serves up gluten-free classics like cheese and margarita pies among more inventive varieties like short rib and pesto.
Essensia Restaurant & Lounge
A farm-inspired restaurant at The Palms Hotel & Spa, Essensia ups the gluten-free game with starters like shrimp scampi, soups like butternut squash, and entrees like braised corvina. If meat or dairy is also on the avoid list, the menu is equipped with vegan and lactose-free alternatives.
The Salty Donut
If colleagues bringing doughnuts to the office causes FOMO (fear of missing out), The Salty Donut’s rotating seasonal gluten-free doughnut option — featuring flavors like hot chocolate or maple sweet potato depending on the time of year — will make gluten feel like nothing but a buzz word.

Taco cravings don’t have to be a thing of the past for those living a gluten-free life. All but three of the 12 taco offerings are gluten-free at this popular taqueria (with multiple locations throughout Miami), including the al pastor, chorizo, and asada options. Plus, the must-order sides like totopos and the grilled elote are also gluten-free.
Lilikoi Organic Living
For the most important meal of the day, Lilikoi Organic Living serves up gluten-free versions of breakfast favorites like avocado toast, quinoa waffles, and a yogurt and granola parfait.

Although not traditionally known for its diet-friendly fare, Morton’s gluten-sensitive offerings provide a generous selection of indulgences from bar bites to desserts. With potato chips, various cuts of steak, creme brulee, and a truffle butter upgrade, the vast menu leaves little left to crave.
LoKal
If burgers are on the brain, LoKal has lots of them. Bunless or atop a lettuce wrap, the sizable patties can be loaded with cheese, potato sticks, or bacon; and washed down with gluten-free ale.
Greenstreet Cafe
The center of Coconut Grove’s social scene, Greenstreet Cafe reps an eclectic mix of tastes. For dinner, a choice of pasta prepped with gluten-free penne curbs a carb fix while the gluten-free buttermilk pancakes are a breakfast lover’s dream.
