Cafe Amelie

Small restaurant with GF items marked on menu. Multiple GF options. My wife had their Gulf Shrimp and Grits and I had the Pork Tenderloin. Both dishes were delicious and nice presentation. Highly recommend this cafe. There were no GF desserts beside ice cream.

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu

The menu is marked GF and *GF for things that can be made GF. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about GF menu items. I had the Cochon de Lait-braised pork sandwich with the GF ciabatta bread. It was great.

There are 2 entrees marked GF, so when I ordered I asked the server to make a note that I am gluten free in case it is marked GF to indicate that it can be made gluten free and not naturally gluten free. The server looked at me like I had 10 heads and then said “it’s meat and potatoes. Of course it’s gluten free” 🥴 she then offered me whiskey. Super unknowledgeable about gluten and unwilling to check apparently because I got so sick. “We’re really good about gluten allergies here” she said. LIAR. My stomach says otherwise.

No Gluten free menu & not a knowledgeable hostess

So for the most part this facility is very knowledgeable as to gluten allergies and they have several selections but my recommendation is clearly the curry chicken salad very palatable you won't be disappointed with the excitement of flavors and flare of the New Orleans Creole flavors

Two gluten free entrees on the menu, plus lots of salads. Nice atmosphere and servers knew what was gf.

Wonderful service and knowledgeable staff. I'll definitely go back there!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had only 2 GF choices for mains- no separate menu

Beautiful courtyard dining area. They have a limited gluten free menu. I had the Curried chicken salad and it was delicious. I would eat here again.

Amazing courtyard and stable house-style restaurant/bar. The menu online has gluten free options indicated, but the menu at the restaurant did not. Our waitress was very helpful, and was also just very nice in general. The food was amazing, everyone at the table agreed. Everything was fresh and well-prepared. They had Affagato on the dessert menu (vanilla ice cream served with a shot of espresso to pour over it) which was incredibly good. We will definitely return here any time we are in town!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So, their brunch menu has one gluten free item on it and it's an omelette. Their sauces are it made from scratch. I wouldn't trust it. We left as we didn't want to risk it.

Celiac friendly?

No

didn't eat there but they told me you have to call ahead a day before to ensure the marinade doesn't have "microscopic" amounts of gluten in it...

Not impressed. Food is so, so. Beautiful courtyard. Beautiful entrance. Upstairs looks like a dump.

Celiac friendly?

No

The food was very good and the atmosphere was quaint. We sat outside and ordered from the brunch menu. The server checked off items that were considered gluten free. My husband had a pulled pork sandwich (not GF) which he said was the best pork sandwich he'd ever had. I ordered the frittata and the beet salad.

They do not have a separate gluten free menu, but do not let this deter you!! I asked for a gluten free menu and the waiter took my menu and marked everything that is gluten free- which is a lot!! The oysters were amazing and the shrimp and grits were literally the best I have ever had in my life. And the cocktails were outstanding. One of the best meals I've had in New Orleans, best brunch experience by far. Highly, highly recommended. Make reservations.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

By far the best gluten free dining experience I had in New Orleans. The waitress was knowledgable about the gluten free options and mentioned the chef works hard to use cornstarch in as many items as he can to replace the flour. We went for Sunday brunch I had the baked oysters, shrimp and grits, and a frittata. It was absolutely delicious, gorgeous atmosphere, would highly recommend.
