Very nice meal. Nothing was marked so had to count on the servers knowledge of gluten free. The food was good, not great. I did not get sick.

Barefoot was amazing, certainly worth the splurge if you can! They can modify almost anything on the menu to be gluten free (except a few pre prepared items). They ask right away if there are any allergies in your party, which I appreciated. The staff is really knowledgeable about gluten. I got the mustard soup, truffle steak, and crème brûlée for dessert. Oh, and they also have GF bread as a starter! This place was a win for sure.

Great experience!! I have Celiac disease in a severe form and I barely go out for dinner. At this place I felt relaxed. The staff was very kind! I chose chicken and pineapple and the manager talked me through the exact ingredients. They use seperate pots and pans in the kitchen and they have round plates instead of squared plates for allergies. They know what they’re doing. Besides that the view is incredible, the staff is happy and the wine was the best.

Nothing is listed GF however the second I sat down they went through the whole menu with me and told me everything that was safe and not safe and made me a delicious meal! I am an extremely sensitive celiac and felt totally fine after eating here!!! Also it’s extremely scenic and a beautiful vibe! Laura was our waitress and she was super funny and so cool. We really enjoyed it here! It is super pricy tho!

They are very knowledgeable and the first thing they ask when they arrive at your table is if there are any food allergies. Most items can be prepared gluten free and they also brought out gluten free bread. The only gluten free dessert is sorbet, but it was very delicious.

While nothing is listed on the menu, wait staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free menu items and confirmed with chef before placing order. Offered gluten free bread.

Great experience at Barefoot. One of the first questions the waiters/waitresses ask is "are there any food allergies?" Unfortunately however there aren't specifically marked gluten free items on the menu - but our waiter was very reassuring that they could modify any meal to meet my allergy needs. I got a the greek salad to err on the side of caution and it was delicious. Did not get sick whatsoever. Would definitely eat there again.

This place is amazing. Barefoot Grill is without a doubt must visit in Aruba. The food is amazing, service is impeccable, and the views are absolutely stunning. Right on the beach, it is a relaxed atmosphere with upscale food. No separate gluten free menu, but don't worry, they are very knowledgeable and can make just about everything on the menu gluten free. They brought gluten free bread to the table which was amazing. Lots of food choices for appetizers, entrees, and desserts. You must go here when in Aruba. We loved it so much we immediately made reservations to come back the next night.

Food was great and celiac safe! Very knowledgeable and they have Tito’s vodka. The only thing We didn’t like was there were a lot of people using the beach so it wasn’t quiet plus there are stray dogs which was heartbreaking. Don’t think we would go back for those reasons.

Great dining experience for Celiac families! We went here with our two kids, ages 8 and 10. They are picky eaters and both have Celiac, so it makes it difficult to go out. Right away, our waiter was very aware of our requests and made sure he spoke with the kitchen about each item we were interested in ordering. The kids each had steak, mashed potatoes, rice and steamed vegetables. They also brought out gluten-free bread. After dinner, the kids were able to enjoy dessert... sorbet and a panna cotta. Our daughter is especially sensitive and she was fine. The bonus is that the restaurant is right on the beach and our table was in the sand. Just beautiful. We watched the sunset and then the stars!

The views were wonderful! The staff was kind and very understand of needing a gluten free meal. They were great at ensuring everything was safe to eat. However, the food was not blow your socks off tasty. It was pricey for not the absolute best quality. The atmosphere was great, but the dishes could use some flavor
