This place is amazing, highly recommend! The food was delicious and the owner/chef was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about allergies - not just celiac/gf. As someone with a dairy allergy, I often find it difficult to find places to eat, especially on vacation, but this place was a gem and I’ll definitely be returning!

This place is absolutely amazing! If you have to eat gluten free, or even if you dont, this place is a must go to. The biscuits are indescribable, the crepes, omelettes, baked goods, french fries .....all delicious! My husband is not celiac and raves about the biscuits, can't believe they're gluten free, he also loved the crepes and Nashville.chicken sandwich. We live about 40 minutes away and will drive there for the Nashville chicken sandwich. If you haven't been you need to go, even if it's a little drive it will be worth it.

INCREDIBLE gluten free restaurant. I have had Celiac for 17 years now and have never found such incredible baked goods, breads, crepes.

They also have pop-up dinner nights which are always great too. The calzone nights and Italian nights are my favorite so far. Oh, and the tiramisu! So many options for foods I never get to enjoy otherwise

You can tell the owner, Brian, is a really talented chef. His pop-up dinners are always worth a trip. You can tell every single part has thought put into it. Of all the things, a red cabbage side from the German dinners is one of my favorites. I also really liked the Thai menu! My boyfriend (with no dietary restrictions) kept talking about the holiday beef Wellington. I don't know how he does so many diverse things so well.

That being said, the regular menu is also great. The Nashville hot chicken is an obvious star.

And, of course, the whole place is GF and worry-free.

1st time visitor... came all the way from the west side just for the Mardi gras special menu. Catfish po'boy and 'beignets' (glorified funnel cake balls) were amazing!! Ordered shrimp/duck/andouille gumbo... no shrimp in my bowl and def lacking in creole flavor/spice, but still quite good... just not $12 a bowl good. The 'paczki' were so disappointing tho... Overly fried, crispy grease biscuits. Would've been better off filling those little 'beignets' puffs with custard and jam... now that I'd go back for! Paczki, not so much.

I don’t think there’s anything more that needs to be said about Cafe Avalaun. The place is the legendary. I’ve been to several dedicated GF restaurants, and i fully believe Cafe Avalaun is among the best. So i figured I would review to update, since there hasn’t been a review in a while.

Throughout Covid they have remained open, with curbside pickup. They have also had several specials as well (Calzones and Crepechangas were stellar). Recently they came out with a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich menu item. Honestly, if you live within 3 hours of Cafe Avalaun, have celiac/NCGS, and haven’t made the trip, it would be worth it! (Just for the chicken sandwiches if not anything else)

Our Thanksgiving hosts specially catered a Meal for me (Celiac) from here and I am so grateful. The food was delicious and most importantly I didn’t get sick. The Chili sweet Potatoes were especially amazing. I had turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes and vegan green beans. I love this place. Thanks so much for offering Thanksgiving catering. A++++

Baked good are delicious. Especially the banana nut bread. Chicken and waffles was good as well. Slow service and not the most attentive. Food came out at separate times and all my mom got was a loaded mashed potato bowl and she got it way after I got my chicken and waffles. They were out of most vegetables for the Potato bowl
