Cafe Pontalba

Waiter told me that anything off the grilled portion on menu world be safe or the red beans and rice, so I chose that. No extreme spicy, just flavorful and plenty of source for my midterm taste. He assured me the sausage was GF.

Great location advent to Jackson Square and 1.5 blocks from Preservation Hall.

Waiter said the menu was limited due to covid, only the salads are gluten free. Also the vodka gimlet tasted like minute maid lemonade.

The wait staff knew about gluten free options and did a good job walking me through what I could eat. I got the Shrimp Creole and it was delicious. This place is right on the corner of Jackson Square and a great place to listen to music. Long waits though. Food is good.

This place sucks. French fries are not gf. They brought my shrimp out with bread all over the plate. And manager charged me for full meal and wouldn't just charge me for appetizer even though I couldn't eat anything but shrimp. No stars for this place

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was great and the wait staff knew what was gluten free and what wasn't. They were super helpful and the blackened grilled shrimp was delicious!!
