Portland’s newest all-gluten-free bakery began its lifetime in Fukushima, Japan in 2010. Four years later, owner Hiro Saito brought his rice flour-based pastries and breads to Redondo Beach in Los Angeles County. Now, he is expanding the brand to Portland, after noticing an uptick of online orders from the region. The all-day menu will include sandwiches, bowls, salads, and smoothies; a bakery side will operate for customers looking to buy whole loaves, rolls, and more. For those dining in, expect tall slabs of gluten-free toast slathered with jam and ricotta, panini-style pressed sandwiches, and veggie bowls packed with quinoa and greens.

Located in a stylish brick cafe space downtown, Petunia’s menu is loaded with gluten-free products, including breakfast pastries, cookies, cakes, pies, and ice cream on house-made waffle cones. It’s vegan, too, and can be washed down with the beverages that include espresso drinks made with house-made syrups.

With multiple permanent restaurant locations and a presence at Portland farmer’s markets, Verde Cocina is a leader in Portland’s gluten-free scene, known for its produce-heavy take on Mexican classics. Each Verde Cocina cafe offers lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, but it’s the brunch that truly shines, from horchata French toast with New Cascadia challah to Buenos Dias breakfast with scrambled eggs, chickpeas, and smoked pork belly bacon. Non-meat eaters may prefer dishes like vegan chiles rellenos or tofu mole, with even more options available for paleo diners.

This food cart at the Prost Marketplace pod specializes in a distinctive take on Oregonian Indian fare, with dishes like tea-brined cardamom-chai chicken, tandoori tempeh, and masala pulled pork. The cart’s thalis, a taste of several of owner Deepak Saxena’s dishes, are the best showcase of what the chef is excited about at the moment. The full menu is entirely gluten-free.

In an airy cafe space in the Lloyd District, this gluten-free bakery always has an array of seasonal pastries and snacks available, from blueberry cream cheese coffee cake to soy-free tiramisu. The cafe dips a toe into savory territory, with weekend biscuits and gravy and broccoli-cheddar quiche, but it’s really all about the afternoon sweet treat, especially alongside a Roseline Coffee espresso. Note: The bakery requires masks between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. for immunocompromised visitors.

This Southeast Portland Haitian restaurant may be one of the city’s most famous, thanks to the celebrity of its owner, Top Chef regular and James Beard Award winner Gregory Gourdet; the restaurant has racked up accolades since its opening in 2022. All of that being said, Kann earned its place among Portland restaurant royalty: Meals start with lightly cured kampachi with smoked coconut milk and Haitian specialties like griyo, followed by show-stopping wood-fired proteins like herb marinated king salmon with stewed peppers or bone-in ribeyes coated in coffee rub. The whole restaurant is gluten-free — and dairy-free, because why not? Getting a reservation can be a blood sport; set an alarm for the first of the month at 12 p.m. Pacific and start refreshing Resy.

While nabbing a seat at Kann can be tricky, Gregory Gourdet’s companion cocktail lounge — a sexy, subterranean bar just around the corner — is a much easier get. The food here is more pan-Caribbean, with things like Trinidadian doubles and Jamaican curry chicken; crudos arrive with salsa macha and blood orange, and pork belly gets a trio of tamarind barbecue sauce, cane syrup, and avocado salsa. Cocktails — alcoholic and not — use a swath of ingredients from Latin America and the Caribbean, as well.

Gluten-free eaters have long loved this 100-percent gluten-free bakery for its cinnamon rolls, cheddar-chive biscuits, strawberry glazed doughnuts, and pizza dough. However, the real move here is to buy as many of its bagels as possible, fat and spotted with bubbles from a hot boil. New Cascadia is open for phone orders and online orders.

Ground Breaker isn’t the only gluten-free brewery in town anymore: This Woodlawn bottle shop and taproom sells its own millet pale ales and buckwheat stouts, as well as gluten-free beers from other gluten-free breweries. If hunger strikes, the onsite food cart — Honey Butter Country Fare — gluten free-ifies fair food standbys like corn dogs, fried Oreos, and funnel cake, with plenty of vegan options, as well.

This Alberta sake bar isn’t just one of the city’s best sushi restaurants; it’s also one of the city’s finest gluten-free restaurants. Depending on what’s in season, visitors bite into pieces of wild-caught Chinook sashimi or dry-aged sea bream, dip bluefin nigiri in tamari, and snack on lobster kara-age dunked in yuzu kosho mayo, all while sipping pours from the bar’s extensive sake selection. The restaurant is open for takeout as well as onsite dining.

The mochi doughnuts at this Laurelhurst area shop use butter mochi as a jumping off point, selling black sesame, honeydew boba, and strawberry-yuzu funfetti rings to passersby each morning. The filled doughnuts particularly stand out, little springy wells of dough with passionfruit curd or cinnamon coconut custard. The doughnuts are gluten, dairy, and nut-free.
