Gorgeous gluten free porridge bowl with loads of yum toppings. Looks like most other breakfast things like pancakes etc can also be done gf. Lovely staff and space and atmosphere.

We attended as a large party to celebrate a graduation. Staff were friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble and everyone had a smile on their face even though they were super busy.
The food was delicious and all of our party enjoyed their meals. Good choice of gluten free options too.
Thanks to management and staff for making this a wonderful celebration for ourselves and our visitors.
Not safe for coeliacs! Came here on recommendation from the find me gluten free app as well as reviews on Google. Gluten free cakes are stored in the same glass cabinet as normal cakes and there seems to be little awareness of cross contamination. I have been symptomatic after eating here so would advise other coeliacs to be aware prior to eating here.
Fabulous wee cafe in @Trinty Centre, Aberdeen.
The pancake bacon stack was delicious and Gluten free too which is a real bonus.
Delicious coffee just perfect as well.
I’ll definitely return here.
Absolutely fantastic service. We were so surprised they do gluten free pizza bases and vegan cheese. I am gluten and dairy free and have not had a pizza in years because there aren’t any places that do that.Pizza was so delicious! My husband went for gluten free option and he loved it! Atmosphere is so good and the place is really cute ❤️Thank you so much, we had such a good time!
I used to really like this place, so I was disappointed to see they don't have any vegan breakfast options now. The blender was broken so they couldn't even make a smoothie, so the waiter suggested we get one of their vegan lunch items. But when it arrived, they had covered the salad in non-vegan sauce. A lot of the gluten free options had also been marked off on the menu, so definitely not a place with many flexible options.
We were also very disappointed that they put us in a small, loud room without windows. From visiting this place before, I remembered it being bright and welcoming, but on this visit I found it super depressing and I regret that we went there. :-(
Wow this was fantastic. We had breakfast and most of the things incl sausages could be done gluten free as the chef is gf. He very kindly also supplied gf butteries/rowies even though they are usually advance order mail order only. They have gf bread for lunches, and likewise evening meals can mostly be gf. Such friendly staff and great atmosphere.
i usually come in late afternoon and they'll make order even if the kitchen is half closed which i appreciate. i'm gluten intolerant and and their gluten free bread is the nicest tasting one i've found in aberdeen. their coffee goes amazingly with the mocha and carrot cake (not gluten free but i don't mind) i ate today. thank you to the staff at contour for being so kind and accommodating when i come in. the hostess always remembers my order which makes the experience even better :)
Made a booking for 1730 for 1.5 hours for food and drinks. The place is a ver nice atmosphere and great food. I had the salmon and prawn risotto, wife just ended up with an appetizer of nachos with cajun chicken, and my kid had a half portion of fish and chips as no actual kids menu, but will tailor a portion size for a child and charge a price for that portion which is very appreciated. My wife said the nachos were some of the best she has had, which is not what you'd expect to find in Scotland. They had lots of cheese and looked very good. The risotto was very good and was one of the several gluten free options on menu. The fish and chips for a half portion was still huge and looked very good. They also had a good drinks menu with some very nice scotches. Highly recommend if stop in Aberdeen or passing through and needing something to eat.
A lovely place with REALLY good coffee and cake.
Shakshuka we had tasted below average, should have ordered one of the toasts as they looked better.
The staff were lovely and there were plenty of tables.
Definitely has a family friendly vibe.
We enjoyed our visit however coffee and cake are its strength.
Staff were open to feedback (shakshuka eggs are supposed to be poached) and again really lovely which made a big impact.
Gluten free options available and would definitely recommend
The food was fine. Not much of a gluten-free selection. Service was very slow. We were sitting in in the bottom area and think we were forgotten about. Not quick to clear up.
one of our favourite places to visit! Great vegan and gluten free options (love the change for the full vegan fry up), you can tell that food is fresh and made with love. We have never had any issuess with altering our orders or special requests. Staff is always very helpful, coffees always taste great and cake choices are top notch. Also great to see changes in the venue, new gantry is looking class. We are always excited to come back :)
Eating out when having an allergy is very stressful. This is the first time in a while I've been able to relax during a meal. The gluten free menu had plenty of options but the fact Simon our waiter took my cutlery away and brought me fresh sanitised with out me mentioning anything reassured me that they understood allergies and I could enjoy the meal with out fear. Best experience I've had eating out with a gluten allergy
An absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. Fresh oysters, a delicious mocktail, and even a gluten free seafood linguine! Highly recommend!
Woah! This is absolutely fantastic and a gem of Aberdeen. Parx set the bar VERY high as our first visit in Aberdeen.
Great atmosphere, lovely and really friendly staff and the food is DELICIOUS.
Gluten free options available, I highly recommend the breakfast burrito.
Price wise it's great (especially if you're from Edinburgh!)
Coffee was delicious...just 10/10 for everything!
Keep in mind it's popular so there is likely to be a wait!
I’ve been before with family and we had to wait a while for a table. I decided to pop in today before traveling and was chuffed I got a seat right away; the place is often busy for a reason.. the atmosphere and food is incredible. Lots of different options for Gluten, Dairy Free and Vegan. Staff are very lovely. Definitely a place to try!
Our server Kirsty was fab, multiple allergies and everything taken in to account. Fussy children, balloon swords and bears! Food was delicious, service was excellent. Great night out with family.
And the pecan pie was vegan and gluten free 😍
So disappointing. I ordered scrambled eggs on toast and was assured that they had gluten free bread. I said that if they didn’t normal bread was fine. When it arrived it was served with one solitary gluten free pitta bread. I’d rather they had said that that was their gluten free option as I would have just asked for normal toast. Whatever they had done to the pitta meant it was so chewy I was unable to eat it.

What a great place to bring young ones for a play and food! The lady who served us went out of her way to provide gluten and dairy free lunch for my husband, and all the staff were very pleasant and helpful. A super asset for Aberdeenshire families!
Wonderful!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had a lovely evening at Gio’s, the food was absolutely fantastic (taste, portion size, presentation), and the place was lovely and clean and gorgeously decorated, even the flowers on the table were real which was lovely!
Staff were easy to talk to and the atmosphere was lovely with the background music playing! Overall a very authentic experience!
I haven’t found many Italian restaurants in Aberdeen that I’ve enjoyed much so it’s lovely to have found somewhere now that we can enjoy! It’s fantastic to see an old family run restaurant back in business !
Also thought it was great to see gluten free pasta options available on the menu also!
Can’t wait to go back with friends!
Highly recommend!!!✨
