Had the most amazing blueberry matcha, and great toast (gluten free option) that was very tasty. Such friendly staff.

Very tasty food, also a special menu for gluten-free dishes. The friendly staff pointed out possible cross-contamination due to the small kitchen. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing experience here. My sister is vegetarian and I wanted to give her a fine dining experience with vegetarian cuisine and this place delivered! The service was fast and very friendly. The food was fresh, delicious, and so great for the value! Also plenty of gluten free options for those with an intolerance like myself!

Becky Johnson

Great options for both gluten and dairy free. Vegan and gluten free brownies were to die for! Gluten free bagels were also amazing. Staff knowledgeable and happy to isolate gluten free items to ensure lower risk of cross-contamination

Kristyna Grussova

Ula was most amazing! Showed me how to use the rewards app. Recommended new Gluten free base and explained the difference. Truly great experience for solo dining!

Lovely gluten free pizza and cocktails

We came here as part of a hen do and it was absolutely fantastic. The service was really great and they were really good at considering dietary requirements and there were great gluten free options. The food was delicious. We had tapas and a paella which we shared between us all and it was delicious and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!

I really enjoyed this place! Great pub vibes with seating for drinks or for dining. Friendly staff. Still get a lot of the ultra tourist crowd but also seemed like there was some locals there as well which is a good sign. Wife has celiacs so we went for dinner and drinks. Staff was knowledgeable, no separate fryer so couldn’t have the chips. Gluten free buns available (my wife says the gf bun was really tasty as well!). Kinda limited options for celiac but what they did have was great!

Ignacio Marin

Adapted gluten-free breakfasts, without contamination. They give you gluten-free bread if you want and the menu says what does NOT contain gluten. Celiacs, you can have breakfast in peace, my celiac wife was not contaminated.

Fiona Yeang

Great place. Entrance is wheelchair accessible, and the gluten-free pizza base is fantastic. Friendly service, good atmosphere.

Beatrice Whitbread

Quite possibly the nicest indian food ive had in years, with a huge range of food, and variation for veggie, vegan and celiac, there is very little (if anything) to be unhappy about. Staff were friendly and patient and the price was very reasonable for the amount of food!

Deb Graham

Really friendly place, has a lovely roof terrace and 2 more bars inside. Gluten free beer on tap for those who are interested

Great place. They asked about allergies before I could say it. Fantastic gluten free fish and chips, including the vinegar. I highly recommend this place.

SJ Barlow

Great lil breakfast spot that caters to vegan and gluten free diets!

YUM! My sister and I shared the nachos, corn and some tacos. Was delicious, reasonably priced and good serving sizes left us very full. With refreshing cocktails and great service I would definitely recommend.

It was expensive but great food. Gluten-free options.

Emily hallsworth

So friendly and comfy, excellent gluten free bruschetta and the chips were also GF!

Ferre Chance

I thought everything was excellent! The atmosphere, the live music and especially the food! It should be noted that they have several gluten-free options, which was what I appreciated the most! The fish and chips are spectacular!

I went here the night I got engaged and can hands down say it was the best meal I have ever had. From the get go, the service was great. Drinks came quick, the Pork Belly appetizer we got was unbelievable. My fiancé got the sea trout while I got the chicken for mains. Each dish was literally unreal - the balance between the main meat & all the supplementary vegetables/sauces/purees, mashes, etc., were truly remarkable. They provided a shot glass each full of some type of broth “on the house” to boost the experience as well while waiting for the mains. This type of little detail goes a long way to making the dining experience unique & special. Another thing to note - the portion sizes are nailed down perfectly. They were large enough that you didn’t feel ripped off, while not being too big that leave you feeling TOO full & sick afterwards - well done. I believe to finish the meal we got the chocolate mousse cake - it was great as well. And with the bill, again, they provided some type of treat “on the house” that was also unreal and bite sized. For the quality, size of meals, diverse flavours, and the fact that they accommodated my gluten free allergies very well (could get almost everything on the menu), the price was exceptional. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone. Thanks for making the night I got engaged truly memorable!

Ursula Dodunski

Really disappointing experience. Made a booking for a large group for dinner and drinks. Limited space available despite communicating the group size. Very poor service. Lots of miscommunication from the servers, some saying we can order food from the restaurant and bar and some only saying bar. GF guest told they were out of all snacks and that they don’t do gluten free options only to be then told if you come back in 5-10 we may be able to help you. Long waits for drinks and probably the worst expresso martini. Do not recommend.

Went in today on a rare trip into Edinburgh & it started pouring down five mins away so we entered soggy & I now know this dress goes see-through in the rain! We got there a few mins before the end of breakfast service so ordered drinks and waited for the lunch time to start (there was some confusion on both our side and the server about the food ordering and when we asked another server he explained then saw to us personally even though it was Natalia’s section. I would like to reiterate we were not complaining about Natalia’s service it was just cross wires) I ordered the vegan burger (beetroot and bean on the menu but they’d ran out and replaced with with a soy burger which they informed me of before ordering) The vegan burger is cooked in the same fryer as the chips so gluten free vegans need to look elsewhere on the menu. Hub had peperoni pizza and ordered extra fries which I managed to help him eat. I know - such a chore 😎 The gent who helped us explained there was a bit of a wait for food because whenever it rains everyone rushes in at once and whilst it good for them the kitchen can get backed up. It was about another 10-15 mins before we could order but then the food came out in normal time afterwards. They automatically add a 12.5% tip which they say is discretionary but the service was fab, they both did two check backs on us and for as busy as it was we didn’t feel neglected or ignored.

Had a very bad experience at The Outsider this week. Booked a table for my boyfriend and myself for his 30th birthday celebrations. Booked the table for 7:30, arrived on time and didn't get seated at our table which wasn't ready for us until 7:40. We were offered a complimentary glass of prosecco as an apology which was kind of them, however I was driving. It then took around 25 minutes for someone to come and take our order, I'm gluten intolerant and no one asked about allergies or intolerances. We then sat for about 55 minutes with no food and no questions to ask if we were okay or explain where our food was. Eventually the waitress who took our order came to our table at 9pm to ask if we had had our starter and ready for our main.. at this point I explained we hadn't had any food at all.. an hour and a half after our table booking. She apologised and told us she'd been told we had been given our starter, we were then given a bowl of olives to eat while we continued to wait.. Major communication slip up. It still took 25 minutes for our starter to arrive and we eventually finished our meal at around 10pm. The waitress was very apologetic and we got our meal complimentary as an apology, however I still don't think this makes the situation any better, we were left sitting for ages with no attention, the waitresses were all rushed off their feet as it was so noisy and busy so I don't think they even noticed our table. Overall it just ended up being a very poor ans frustrating experience to end what had been a lovely day celebrating my boyfriends birthday. The one star is because when we eventually received it, the food was good!

This small restaurant was amazing and the people were so nice. When they did not have gluten free bread they offered me some gluten free cake instead. I ordered the eggs and bacon for breakfast with expresso and it was all delicious.

Fresh and delicious sushi. Very kind staff and super attentive to allergies. Allergens are clearly indicated on the products, ideal for those intolerant to gluten and lactose.

Buffet breakfast, waffle maker, also varied for celiacs (there is also a toaster only for gluten-free bread). Friendly staff. Small, but nice pool; open until 10pm. Small family room for 4 because the open sofa takes up a lot of space.

This review is more of a warning than a review. I tried to eat here but they turned me away for having celiac even though they have a gluten free menu. Do not recommend for someone with celiac or a gluten allergy.
