Top 23 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Edinburgh

Aislinn Keogh

Ordered 5 boxes of cupcakes from Sugar Daddy's for a party and they went down a absolute storm. These aren't just good gluten-free cakes, they're good cakes full stop! Many of our guests didn't even realise they were gluten-free, and for our coeliac friend who'd never had a cupcake before, it was a revelation. Particularly recommend the salted caramel, usually I'm disappointed by the lack of saltiness in things advertised this way but there was definitely a salty kick in this caramel! Will certainly be a repeat customer.

I’m giving it a solid meh. Batter on GF haddock was tough, £3 for a side of frozen peas and chips were best part of meal.

Lovely gluten free cake and so many gf options!

Alex

Delicious food and great service, also lots of gluten-free options.

Jared Stein

My daughter has celiac and her gluten free cheeseburger was excellent. Couldn’t tell the bun was gluten free because it was so soft with great texture. Definitely would recommend for both gluten free and not gluten free

5-Star Review for Bread Meats Bread Bread Meats Bread is a fantastic spot with incredible food and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. The bonus for anyone with dietary restrictions? They offer a dedicated gluten-free menu, a separate fryer, and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable about cross-contamination. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing food in a great setting!

Lisa Doyle

Great gluten free options 😋

Kevin Cameron

Lots of vegan, vegetarian, gluten free options marked in the menu. There were 4 people waiting for tables when we arrived, and we still were seated in 5mins. Pizza and salad combo makes a perfect light meal. Salad was as basic as it gets, but fine. Pizza was better than I expected - thin crust, well dressed.

Finley Kilmartin

Yeah just lovely, I had the slow beef brisket sandwich, my partner who is coeliac had the frittata. We sat outside, the staff were lovely. All around positive.

Maryam alFalahi

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and very sweet staff. One of the best brunch spots in Edinburgh. lots of gluten free options available.

Jenny Heslington

Beautiful, quirky little cafe, with excellent food. Really generous portions and a wide variety of gluten free options.

Stacy Heller

We were in the neighborhood doing some shopping and one of the shoppes mentioned Côte. It was nearby and we walked in during a busy lunch time. The accommodated us very nicely considering we didn’t have a reservation. I adore French food but never get to go when dining with my daughter who is gluten and dairy free. However, they had so many items to choose from for her. The food was outstanding!!! Cannot wait to go back.

Natalia Fernandez Caja

The food is incredible, you can tell they are Italian. They have gluten-free pasta options although there isn't much to choose from. It comes in a VERY small quantity for the price, but it is very very delicious for a treat-meal.

Jannicke Røseng

Very nice food! I apprechiate that the menu is marked with what is gluten free. Had the chicken skewers, very big portion and everything was tasty. I am a sensitive celiac, had no ill effects after the meal.

Kyle Watson

We went to celebrate my sister's graduation and the staff made sure to congratulate her which was a very nice touch! We got a variety of pastas, pizzas, salads and sides. It was all fantastic, including the gluten free Caesar salad which my mum gave a 10/10. High praise. I had the Pappardelle alla Norcina (Picture attached), which was lovely! I struggled to finish it as we also had garlic bread. My favourite part of the meal however was the focaccia we shared as a starter, which was warm, soft and had great flavour. Would definitely give this place a go!

Meriel Graham

Fantastic breakfast. Had the gluten free option of the full breakfast. Would highly recommend!

Andrea Mercieca

Great service from Zane! My boyfriend has Celiacs disease and had no problem ordering food from the menu. Gluten free beer made the visit amazing as well, and the food was fantastic!

Marcos Frossasco

Howie's is an excellent choice for modern Scottish cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere without the hustle and bustle of the pun. Its dishes stand out for their flavor and presentation: from haggis to fresh fish, game meats, and traditional soups or the soup of the day. The restaurant has two main locations in Edinburgh: one on Victoria Street, more intimate and with historic charm, and another opposite a cemetery very close to the climb to Canton Hill. The service is attentive and efficient, and the menu includes vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, as well as a good selection of wines and whiskeys. They also have clean bathrooms. Improvements: The Victoria Street location has small spaces, with limited access for people with reduced mobility. In both cases, it's advisable to book or arrive very early. In short, a highly recommended place for a tasty Scottish experience with good value.

Hannah Young

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

Jill Simpson-Vince

Our server Elizabeth was great at understanding my daughter needed gluten free. Service from all staff was great, food arrived quickly and was very good. Would definitely recommend and next time we are in Edinburgh would go back.

Rebecca Henry

Three Birds was a phenomenal dining experience. I am recently coeliac and being able to dine here with no worries or doubts about what I was eating was great. The service and atmosphere of the staff was brilliant. Everybody was so friendly and bubbly. The pistachio and feta dip WAS TO DIE FOR 100/10. Would fly back to Scotland solely to experience it again. The chicken supreme was cooked to perfection. Have no doubts when booking this place it is absolutely perfect for a chilled, good atmospheric, and tastiest food ever. Would recommend to every friend and family I have!! Will come back again when I return to Scotland!!!

Mary Oemig

All celiac. Food was fabulous. Had chicken and paneer pakora with mint, Punjabi, and mango chilli sauce. Also lentil coriander dhal with rice and chips and cheese. For 3 of us had next day leftovers. Matthew took great care of us.

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.

Paul Allan

Used Vittoria many times over the years in both locations. Enjoyed it every time but sadly today was well below previous standards. We asked about gluten free for the starters as there was gluten free bread available and a quite a few of the starters were something with garlic bread so could they swap it. Told no the chef would t cut a slice just for that. Really poor standard. Why offer pizza and pasta gluten free mains but do nothing for starters and also dessert. You’ll find it’s either sorbet or gelato. Meatball starter I was excited for but instead of the one large Polpette you used to get it was four small very average meatballs. One main course was good the seafood tagliatelle is recommend that, the rucola salad side was a bit tiny for the price. The other main course chicken and spinach risotto was another very average dish. This was a go to in the past and was much better on previous visits. The raspberry sorbet dessert was nice after we had to remind them it was to come with a berry compote which they corrected to be fair. Overall sadly very average for what used to be a highlight for Edinburgh.

Al Hughes

Service, location, food, ambiance, price and also their attentiveness to Gluten Free eating. This place is so highly recommended . 10 out of 5

Richard Coffey

Very nice dining atmosphere at this venue and there was an acoustic music gig as well on Halloween. There's a gluten free menu too which is great. Overall, the service was very friendly, especially from Mallory the waitress who served me. The shop could be stocked with a wider variety of souvenir items though.

Frances Goodman

A lovely meal for our daughters graduation made even better by welcoming our little grand daughter as well. Good range of gluten free options available

Ailsa Kent

Loved this place. It was a rainy morning and we popped in for breakfast. The dining space is light and airy. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was prompt and hot. Coffee was tasty. Would go back tomorrow if we were still in town. Photos are of the Porty Smash and Poached Eggs on Toast with crispy bacon. Gluten free bread option available with really decent sized slices of GF bread, which made a nice change.

Emma Zglinicki

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!

Martin Baumeister

Absolutely delicious vegan and gluten-free breakfast. You have two options for breakfast. One is the regular full breakfast that contains gluten and the other one is gluten-free variance of the full breakfast. We went with the gluten-free, which was excellent! Great selection of coffee and tea drinks as well. Very friendly service as well! Cute outside patio!

Elyse Croteau

This meal was soooo delicious! I had the traditional haggis, with neeps and tatties, adapted for gluten and dairy free. The staff was very knowledgeable in allergens and it was easy to order. The haggis was absolutely delicious. I had the whisky and mustard sauce, which added a different flavors to it. It was also delicious without the sauce. I would definitely come back again next time I'm in Edinburgh!

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

Donna Avery

Loved this surprise find! Stumbled in here looking for something warm to drink and got this mulled wine and gluten free carrot cake.

Pum Vaandrager

Great food with good gluten free and vegan options.

Jamie de Bie

Pricey but food is great and very coeliac aware.

SJ Barlow

Yummy lentil and lime soup. Vegan and gluten free! Took it to go since they were about to close and found a spot up the street to enjoy, Middle Meadow Walk.

RM Retro

Enjoyed a lovely lunch today with my Wife, it was delicious as always and cooked to perfection. Our Server today was Simon, and we must give special thanks to him for his exceptional service being particularly helpful and careful regarding my wife's Gluten Allergy: thank you M&C and extra thanks to you Simon.

Kaitlyn K

I chose this place for lunch with my family as I had read the amazing reviews (especially about their accommodations for gluten allergies). Most of our group ordered the lunch special, and all of our food was amazing! We especially enjoyed the crispy fries. The atmosphere, decor, and music were great, and the attention to detail was clear, even during the somewhat spooky trek to the basement washrooms. I highly recommend this place for a delicious meal 😋

Rebecca Robinson

Ah Dishoom! We had a business brunch meeting, not our first, we love this place in the mornings. Bottomless chai and chocolate chai just keep appearing at your elbow, staff are so good. Other coffees and teas also excellent. I'm gluten free so the granola bowl is perfect - granola, vanilla yogurt and colourful fresh fruit always make me so happy. Everyone else went for wraps or the omelette or the bottomless porridge - something for everyone including the dairy-free folk too. We'll be back. Set over three floors, but very popular so do book

Charlott Kreczman

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!

Michael Rackow

Great burgers - fantastic, and gluten free options available. Thanks a lot!

Saara Husso

Lovely restaurant! Glutenfree and lactosefree food was good ❤

Finley Kilmartin

Great location, great food, great service. Simple recipe for 5 stars. They were helpful about letting us know about gluten free items. I had the Croque Madame. Wow for such a simple dish it was absolutely lovely. Coffee + Food for myself and my partner was around £18/19.50

Jason (Eris)

Having been here twice now, I can say that this is one of the nicest cafés in Edinburgh! The food was absolutely delicious, and I love that there's gluten free and vegan options available! I will definitely be back here again :)

Akcd

Great food, good for gluten free and/ or vegans. Ramesh was a great server, so thank you!

Monica Logan

A lovely restaurant. Amazing value and the food was delicious. All of the staff made you feel very at home and were so friendly. The menu has such a wide choice for people with all different preferences including pescatarian, vegetarian and also for gluten free.

Sarah R

Delicious food, and great for celiacs / gluten free.

Chloe Howard

Amazing food!!! The most delicious vegan gluten free pizza I've had by far (and I'm often trying out vegan gluten free pizzas lol). Extensive gluten free menu as well, excellent service and atmosphere

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.
