Gluten-Free in Echo Park

Mezze is the way in: hummus, the mixed grill, and the flatbread you almost never get to order gluten-free. Save room for the bake shop case up front.

Levant runs a 100% gluten-free kitchen that is also soy-free and organic, built so celiac guests can order the whole menu, flatbreads and pastries included. It is part bistro and part bakery, so you can sit for a meal or grab bread to take home.

The grain bowls are the headline, built on clean ingredients, and the breakfast sandwich on house gluten-free bread is the sleeper order. The menu shifts with the season.

Everything in the kitchen is gluten-free and refined-sugar-free, made with naturally gluten-free buckwheat and hazelnut flours instead of wheat, so the whole menu is safe. It is a daytime spot, good for a weekday lunch or a slow weekend breakfast.
