Where to Eat Dairy & Gluten Free in Miami

This is by far the best place I tried that was fully gluten free in Lisbon. And in all honesty, it rose up there, right next to some of my all time favorite fully paleo places in the world, like Hu Kitchen in New York and Bulletproof in Santa Monica).

Since I stayed in Brickell, Dirt was basically my go-to spot to grab a healthy lunch. They have a great menu with lots of gluten free, paleo and dairy free options. I tried the gluten free tostada topped with loads of avocado and kale, as well as their kale salad with cashew cream (can you tell I like kale?;) and they there were both great. They also offer gluten free burgers with sweet potato fries and a daily gluten free, vegan desserts which are also really good!

It’s located in the Mary Brickell Village and is has a nice and quiet sitting area where you can enjoy your good in the beautiful Miami weather 🙂

This place offers great acai bowls and lots of dairy free drink options. I went back several times to get a coconut milk matcha latte and a side of delicious paleo ‘Alfajores” (South American cookie sandwiches) made with tapioca flour. They are provided by a local brand called “Barbarella Paleo” and they come in three different flavors: traditional (hazelnut), chocolate chips, and guava. I always went for the regular and they were absolutely delicious!!

The outdoor area is truly beautiful and perfect for taking photos. I would come back there to hang out and get a kombucha, but not for a full meal.

Since Manna is a plant based restaurant, you don’t have to worry about dairy here! Also, their menu is fully gluten free and they offer many raw food options as well (just like their delicious raw desserts or their kelp noodle pasta with dairy free pesto and Pad Thai).

I really enjoyed trying their “Arepas” (corn and flaxseed flatbreads) topped with avocado, cashew cheese, and help seeds.

They have a great selection of nut milk and cold pressed juices, ands since this place is just a quick walk from the Whole Foods in downtime, you can easily stope there for a bite after you ran your errands.

They have gluten free wraps, quinoa side dishes and great salads, but what they are famous for is the Tostones Burger (a grass fed beef patty served in between 2 discs of fried plantain and topped with avocado (if order without cheese and tomatoes, it can be a great option even of you are on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP).

Lastly, in case you are in the mood for dessert, they have a Banana Pound Cake which is dairy and gluten free.

This place that offers authentic Cuban food is perfect to try typical sides like tostones and boiled yuca, which are great (and filling) gluten and nightshade free options. While I am sure their regular food is very tasty, I’ve always only got these 2 things because I love them so much and it’s so hard to find them in other cities. Plus, I am sure they are grain and gluten free 😉
