Gluten-Free Restaurants and Cafes in Boston

Locations on this list include Downtown Boston, Cambridge, Brookline, Somerville and surrounding areas. Please note that these restaurants are based on personal experience and Internet research. Though many patients have had positive experiences, the Center for Celiac Research and Treatment at Mass General for Children (MGfC) and Massachusetts General Hospital do not endorse these restaurants.

Most of these restaurants are not dedicated gluten-free (GF), but they may offer GF options. Each time you dine out, you should always disclose your dietary needs and ask to speak with the manager or chef before placing your order to ensure your meal is prepared in a safe, allergen-free environment.

Restaurants within walking distance or less than a mile from MGfC and Mass General are marked with an asterisk. (*)
