Deciding where to go for a gluten-free meal can have everything to do with a restaurant's dessert selection. If all it offers is ice cream, sorbet, crème brulee, or berries with cream, then it probably won't make the cut. Gluten-free diners want creative desserts layered with texture and flavor that require a fork to enjoy. Check this north-to-south map of real gluten-free desserts offered at 12 Atlanta-area restaurants.

Zeal makes key lime, white chocolate truffle, raspberry, and more flavors of cheesecake complete with graham cracker crust. Ricotta cheese fritters with vanilla ice cream and blueberry compote tie dessert and a cheese plate together with this salty, crunchy, and sweet offering. Gluten-free dessert choices are always on the menu and rotate with the seasons. Deconstructed s’mores make diners feel and taste fall flavors.

Cinébistro

Cinébistro's flourless chocolate cake is always on the menu and is well worth the price tag. One slice of this gorgeous dessert easily feeds two people.

The cake is served with chocolate and white chocolate shavings and chocolate and raspberry sauces.
