Gluten-Free Martha’s Vineyard Guide
Are you planning a trip to Martha’s Vineyard? Maybe you’re already on the island searching for safe places to eat.
We’ve got you covered. There are plenty of gluten-free restaurants scattered across this popular tourist destination.
For over a week, my wife and I traveled around Martha’s Vineyard looking for these places. In the sections below, you will find each restaurant categorized by town.
As with any restaurant, avoiding cross-contamination is not guaranteed. Make sure to use your best judgment if you have a severe gluten intolerance.
Vineyard Haven
The Attic
- 82 Main St 2nd Floor, Vineyard Haven, MA
This might be the most gluten-friendly restaurant in Vineyard Haven. Our waiter told us they use GF flour and have a GF fryer. Their boneless wings and fried cheese curds are insane!
Black Dog Tavern
- 20 Beach Street Extension, Vineyard Haven, MA
If you’re looking for a classic dining experience by the water, this is it! We went here for breakfast for eggs, bacon, and gluten-free bread.
Rocco’s Pizza
- Tisbury Marketplace, 79 Beach Rd, Vineyard Haven, MA
If you’re a fan of gluten-free pizza, you can’t go wrong with this restaurant. They also have a handful of salad options for healthier eating.
Scottish Bakehouse
- 977 State Rd, Vineyard Haven, MA
We highly recommend visiting the Scottish Bakehouse for gluten-free baked goods. Make sure to stop by in the morning, before all the treats are picked over.

Staying somewhere with a kitchen? Stop by the Net Result for lobster, mussels, claims, and other seafood. FYI, there are no GF options on their takeout menu.

This is yet another gluten-free breakfast spot that has GF bread! Make sure to come here early, because it’s a small restaurant with limited seating.

Chilmark General Store
- 7 State Rd, Chilmark, MA
The Chilmark General Store deserves its own category, because… well it’s not really close to anything. Most people stop here on the way back from Aquinnah and Menemsha.
The good news is, this place has a handful of gluten-free lunch options. They have GF buns for sandwiches, chicken fingers, assorted salads, and even GF pizza crust!
We even found gluten-free chocolate chip bread. This can be a lifesaver, considering all the other restaurants are in the more popular towns.
