I came here unexpectedly just walking around the French Market! First time in New Orleans, and having celiac I was very skeptical because I’ve had this app, and just upgraded the app. This place is a hidden gem, I got a 1/4 gluten free Muffuletta, and it was great, very delicious even though we had to wait 40 minutes

Prep area is shared and when taking my order I informed the person taking my order that I had Celiac. His was response to me was this exactly and I quote “we have a shared prep space due to the kitchen being so small and we also share the grill with wheat items so we cannot guarantee that everything we serve you won’t be cross contaminated with wheat because we toast all the bread on the same grill. So there may be some wheat on the gluten free sand which.” So there for I cannot recommend this place to anyone who has celiac. And those who have eaten here who claim to have celiac I cannot vouch for. 🧐 However it is a high risk in my opinion not worth being sick over. They did however offer to wipe the grill but still said gluten could be present just less of it.

The prep space is shared, but they ensured me they wipe down and clean their grill for gluten-free orders. I got the muffuletta, and it was so good that I barely noticed the Udi’s bread! You might have the same question I had which is “what the heck is a 1/4 of a sandwich if it’s on GF bread??” For your reference I ordered a 1/4” sandwich and it was a normal sized Udi’s sandwich.

I was incredibly nervous about this but really had my heart set on having a classic muffaletta in New Orleans again, but gluten free. This place is in the hectic activity of the French Market and I was terrified of cross contamination etc but I'm glad I stopped here. It took extra time for them to make my order because they take all the proper protocols etc but it was well worth that wait! The sandwich was wonderful, and I did not get sick. You can tell the gluten free apart from their regular because the bread is different and they had examples in a display case we could see before placing our order.

Ordered the Asiago Beef sandwich gluten free. Was not disappointed. It was so good! All sandwiches can be made gluten free and mine came toasted. I’m just sorry I didn’t visit this place until the last day of my holiday

Based on the reviews I decided to give this place a try. When I asked about gf options and precautions the lady said I should go to the booth next door (Meals from the heart) as they specialize in gf. I personally didnt care for thier menu and really wanted a gf Philly. She said they are happy to take extra precautions such as cleaning the grill and switching gloves. I decide to order. The sandwich was great and no reactions.

Came to New Orleans looking for a GF muffaleta and they did not disappoint! While I would have preferred homemade GF bread, it was still good on the Udi's bread. The sangria smelled delicious too, though I didn't imbibe.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We had breakfast at Meals from the heart( amazing btw) and came back for a muffuletta for lunch. It was delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a muffaletta for the first time in years. Get a 1/4, unless sharing then get a 1/2. Also had a caprese salad. Great spot if your are in the Quarter.

Great sandwich. Nice wine. It's a walk up south of market on food strip. Will go back. It's more south than the map marker.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The gluten free muffuletta is great! A half comes with two sandwiches, but they’re pretty small.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One of my must haves when I’m in New Orleans!! I have eaten here several times over the last two years and never had a problem.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Muffaletta on gf bread was delicious!

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ordered a grilled cheese with bacon, turkey, havarti and gouda cheese. It was very good. They grill on the same surface that they grill the regular bread on. That concerned me because I have celiac, but they promised that they clean it. For that reason I would not recommend it for Celiacs. I did chance it...because the cashier said they had a lot of repeat Celiac there. If I get sick I will update this post!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Friendly people and wonderful food! The muffuletta was amazing! I will definitely be back before heading home.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing!! First time to enjoy a muffuletta, won't be the last! I'm so happy I found this place! They make everything fresh.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Found this by accident but went back today for muffalatta gf sandwich. Yum!!!!! And the had Stella Artois cider too. Order at counter and find seats across in French market. So nice as you wait you can browse at the vendors art and wares for sale.

Make the trip.

Had an amazing gluten free muffaleta. The guy who took my order was uh, less than nice. Simply ordered 1/4 gluten free muffaleta. Came on toasted gf bread. It was one of the best things I've had here so far and centrally located. Didn't get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The muffuletta was amazing. Well worth the trip!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The muffuletta was every it was said to be! So worth the wait.

Gluten free muffaletta, what more needs to be said? If you want one in New Orleans, which you should, go here!

We ate at the location inside the French Market. The Muffaletta is always delicious There! Takes a little longer to make, but so, so worth it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had heard about Muffaletas and I didn't think I'd be able to enjoy one while vacationing in NOLA. I was thrilled to find this place, they are delicious! The GF bread is phenomenal! Now Alberto's is out first stop when we visit from WI.

The gluten free muffuletta is really good. Friendly service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their bread is incredible! Excellent service no cross contamination
