One of my favorite spots in Philly! The staff is super knowledgeable about cross contamination and I’ve never had an issue.
We had a wonderful meal at Dandelion! Separate GF menu with many options. Our server was great and food was delicious. I plan on returning!

I’ve been here twice and they’re always so lovely about celiac, knowledgeable about cross contact, etc. The separate GF menu is incredible helpful too! GET THE RICOTTA AND THE DEVILED EGGS ❤
I got sick :(
Our server brought us the gluten free menu (woohoo!) but I ordered the Chicken Tandoori (not on the GF menu.. but she said it was 100% gluten free)..
It was sooo yummy and I am new to being celiac so maybe I should’ve realized?
Either way I was in extreme pain within the hour. I am afraid there must’ve been some sort of cross contamination.
It looks like mine was just a one off experience compared to the other reviews :)
I was very excited by the menu. The atmosphere was unique and adorable - perfect for the ambiance and history of Philadelphia. Unfortunately since I have a dairy allergy as well, it narrowed my choices immensely. They were great about food suggestions and I had the steak with roasted carrots - flavors were amazing!
Cool atmosphere. Server knowledgeable on menu items and confirmed what had possibly of cross contamination. They had a Gluten Free menu. Food was delicious. Ordered the oysters. Salmon (perfectly cooked) and green beans.
Cozy atmosphere and good food. I went for dinner and they had a separate gluten free menu. The staff asked about my level of sensitivity, highlighted possible cross contamination, and explained substitution options.
I was here for brunch and had a great experience. I tried the gout cheese omelet and smoked salmon. Both very good and safe and didn’t get sick. Just the portions were not super filling since they removed the carb part and didn’t have gf substitutes. The place has a beautiful decoration as well.
Food and atmosphere were good. Came for brunch and another day for lunch. Brunch menu had a larger and better gf selection. Lunch option was more limited and all the gluten free were items without bun/bread etc so the meals seemed incomplete.
They gave me the lunch GF menu at dinner time so watch for that because there are more options at dinner. I loved the ricotta app with apple and cucumber slices and I shared some of my nephew’s tandoori chicken which was delicious.
The ambiance of this restaurant was so fun! They had a decent selection of gluten free options. And it was nice to be able to get a cheeseboard with apple slices subbed for crackers! I got the Scottish Salmon, which was pretty good. I appreciated that the server asked me about cross contamination concerns, and he told me he'd let the kitchen know.
I had a great experience here tonight! I got the Dandelion salad with salmon and the whipped ricotta with apples to sub for the bread. The waiter told me they take allergies very seriously and that the waiters have a conversation about allergies with the chef. He even told me that I would be safer with pan seared salmon instead of grilled salmon because bread is warmed on the grill. The food was delicious and I did not get sick!
They have a GF menu and not only know about cross contamination, but our waiter specified that certain condiments on other dishes were not GF in case we were sharing. Love the GF menu, but wish there was more variety. The answer to some of the apps was to sub crackers/bread for apples or cucumbers, which gets the job done, but does change the flavor of things. There are brunch and snack/appetizer options, but both main entrees on the GF menu when I was there were meat.
Gluten free menu available. Asked me about my sensitivity to cross contamination. Felt very safe, and still had lots of options for brunch. Did not get sick
Excellent selection!! Very knowledgeable about gluten. Felt safe and had no issues.
Great experience! Had a separate gluten-free menu. Was on a date there and we got the dandelion salad, steelhead trout crudo, and the pan seared salmon.
Food was great. Had cheese plate with apples. We had steak and tandoori chicken
I have celiac disease and my husband has a shellfish allergy. They made sure the food was free of those allergies. There is a seperate gluten free menu. I got the chicken tandoori and it was so delicous. I felt great the next day and did not get sick. Great bartender and atmosphere. Would definitely go back!
Wait staff was knowledgeable and provided good information.
got steak with carrots instead of chips, very good and my non-celiac dad enjoyed his food tol
The service was good and there is a GF menu. There is not a dedicated fryer so have the fries at your peril. My Celiac kid had the steak and chips with mashed potatoes instead of chips. The tandoori chicken and the corn porridge were also good.
Very few gluten free options. Good drinks.
British pub type food. They have a separate gluten free menu but some of the items on the menu say 'contain trace amounts of gluten' and the fried are cooked in the same fryer as other foods so need to be cautious of cross contamination if you're celiac. I went for the risotto as felt this would be safest and it was delicious.
Delicious omelets! :) gluten free menu, knowledgeable staff. great cocktails :)
