TOP 11 IN THE U.S. 🤎
We are beyond honored to share that CheSa’s Bistro & Bar was named one of the 11 Best Gluten-Free Restaurants Across the US by Chowhound — ranked #3 in the country.
From a gluten-free food truck built after my own celiac diagnosis to a full 100% gluten-free, celiac-safe bistro in Chicago — this one hits different.
Thank you to Chowhound for seeing us, and to our Chicago community who has supported us since day one. This is for everyone who thought they could never have Fried Chicken & Beignet Waffles again.
Come taste why we made the list.
