Dining out can be a complicated task when there are dietary restrictions. Although restaurants are becoming more and more accommodating, those who suffer from celiac disease or gluten sensitivity often find themselves with only a handful of options. Fortunately, the following places offer plenty of gluten-free choices and go the extra mile in order to provide a stress-free experience. Note: Not all kitchens listed below are completely gluten-free so cross-contamination is still possible.

As of June 11, Chicago restaurants have fully reopened and the city has lifted restrictions on capacity, masking, and social distancing. For updated information on coronavirus cases, please visit the city of Chicago’s COVID-19 dashboard. Studies indicate that there is a lower exposure risk when outdoors, but the level of risk involved with patio dining is contingent on restaurants following safety guidelines. The latest CDC guidance for vaccinated diners during the COVID-19 outbreak is available here; dining out still carries risks for unvaccinated diners and workers. Find a local vaccination site here.
