Dedicated Gluten Free Options in Charlotte
Believe it or not, there is only three dedicated gluten free dining options in Charlotte. These are the restaurants that I would classify as close to celiac safe as possible.
Dedicated Gluten Free #1: Sunflower Cafe
The Sunflower Cafe is a dedicated gluten free restaurant located in the Mint Hill area of Charlotte, North Carolina. They have a completely gluten free menu but the hours are limited. Check before you go!
Dedicated Gluten Free #2: Sanctuary Bistro
Sanctuary Bistro is dedicated gluten free and vegan. They are a family run business dedicated to sustainable, local, organic, dairy-free & gluten-free dining.
Dedicated Gluten Free #3: Mahana Fresh
Mahana Fresh is another dedicated gluten free restaurant which is located in the Ballantyne area. Mahana means “like the sun.” At Mahana Fresh, they believe a “good mood, brings good food.” I’d tend to agree!
