Top 50 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in Bristol

Amazing that they have gluten free, but does feel like they've lost a bit of their spark. Been going down a couple of times a year, and seems to be less impressive food. Food was nothing special, which is a shame considering the cost. Also, when asked how everything was, I said the soft drinks needed checking as the lemonade was just soda, they did apologise but didn't change the drink (id only had a sip) and nothing was taken off the bill. Perhaps I should have been clearer on my expectations. That being said it's a shame it wasn't quite up to scratch as it used to be a real gem. I have been to the Salt & Malt in Bristol centre and this had a much better feel and different menu options.

First time in the New Porto Lounge. Really impressed. Good food, excellent provision for gluten free, lots of space and very relaxing. Thank you so much.

Impero Lounge is right on the High Street in the heart of Portishead, perfect to stop in before a jaunt around the harbour. They’re on a corner with huge floor-to-ceiling windows (that open right up) wrapped around two sides, flooding the vaulted interiors with light. There’s a lovely terrace out the front too, perfect for watching the world go by. They’ve a fantastic range of food and drinks (including full kids, gluten-free and vegan menus) served in this relaxed, welcoming space. Look out for their mural celebrating Portishead’s old power station and lighthouse. Which is apt, as they’re a bit of a powerhouse and a shining beacon for the hungry and thirsty people of Portishead.

Highly recommend their chicken, avocado, tomato, bacon, cheese gf sandwich

I’m not a bad review type person, but I think it’s necessary. I’ve seen a lot of reviews on here about how nice and lovely the food was and I feel like they’re either being super generous, or they’re a bit delusional and probably have very disposable income. The few I’ve seen regarding the price for what is given in my opinion are most honest. I bought a “Buddha bowl” which I asked for a poached egg with (for an extra £1.25), came to just under £15, to which when it came was practically an empty plate, full of Tescos finest hummus… mmm yaaay! literally, just a whole bottom layer of pure hummous.. from probably Tesco, (you can tell) with “roasted aubergine & squash” sprinkled on the top, giving the illusion there’s something to dive into. No, it’s definitely just hummus… just Tesco bought hummous. A whole yummy bowl of it, To Then be given ONE SLICE of (coop’s fossilised gluten free bread) CUT INTO THREE FINGER slices. WHAT? Absolute piss take. “Buddha bowl” you know,imagine?.. If Buddha ate that, he’d be Ghandi. But wait, There’s more.. When I asked for just a little more bread to go with my mousse, I was told it would cost an extra £2.15 .. oh nice. If I wanted another rationed dry toasted finger slice of gluten free co cop branded crackers, I should pay for it. Sweet. Gotcha.. Maybe I should’ve got another egg, it’s cheaper. Then in all the madness, besides my 3 thin slices of flavourless avocado, was the juicy “red cabbage salad” about literally 7 shreds (I’m not exaggerating at all), of cabbage and a chunk of core. Right there, I saw it, with my eyes, not even hiding. Just outrageous. What do they do measure it in milligrams? I told the girls behind the counter and we agreed on the audacity, however no refund was offered. I guess I’d gone too far to ask for money back once I dived into the lake of deception. Assuming I was getting a mouthful of aubergine. She noted my complaint, reasoned & said she’d mention it to the head chef, who I think should rather consider converting to a shakes and smoothies lounge, because thankfully the smoothie was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Service for me was decent, nice girls, accommodating energy and the sofa was comfy.. but food prices/quality deserves a slap.

Always an amazing range of gluten free options. Staff are always friendly

Charlotte Garcia

Excellent service and really good for gluten free options

Really enjoyed my visit to Cafe Neapolitan, I ordered a cooked breakfast along with a cup of tea. The potion size was big but they did not flag on the effort put in. The bread was hand made, which you could had the option of being gluten free. Also a choice of eggs, I went for scrambled which has added cooked onion which I though was a really nice touch. The cafe had a cosy atmosphere and the staff were friendly, I would defiantly recommend.

I met my friend at Tesoro Lounge today. Very happy to see a whole menu with lots of choice of gluten free meals. The service was great and the food was delicious. When I went to pay for my drinks and pudding I was told it was on the house as a random act of kindness! This totally made my day!

My son, who is coeliac and has a very severe reaction to gluten, was told that the cakes labelled may contain gluten would be ok because they didn’t contain “active” gluten. There aren’t two versions of gluten; active and inactive. Of course, he knew not to have one but newly diagnosed coeliacs might not. We went to the gelato shop just down the hill instead and they were very knowledgeable and helpful about gluten free food.

Victoria Forrester

Delicious brunch, gluten free options too. Interesting building and friendly staff

We spontaneously stopped here for breakfast on a road trip through England: We quickly reserved a table online and received a very friendly welcome. The food was great, the atmosphere was relaxed and cozy, the staff were super friendly and the options for alternatives for those with intolerances were great (gluten-free, vegan, etc.). Highlight: there are dog menus for four-legged friends.

Isabel Vargas

Lovely place. Very clean, cosy, very friendly staff and plenty of gluten free options!!!

Peter Cittern

We had a great experience when we visited your Cheswick village cafe for brunch last week. We were attended to by a super waitress called Ruby who was very professional and friendly and immediately found us a booth. She was helpful and flexible with one of our party's gluten and dairy allergies. The food and service were both excellent. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Staff told us the cannoli were gluten free - I’m allergic to gluten - so he got me one. It wasn’t at all gluten free (made with wheat pastry). Fortunately I suspected this before tasting it - I returned it and asked staff to check again. This could have caused a serious allergic reaction - I fear for those with more serious allergies to nuts or milk that could be life threatening. The staff didn’t make much effort to recognise this - while they refunded it, all they said was “oh, sorry”. Please be careful - staff were approachable and it was sorted quickly, but if you have allergies, check the ingredients yourself.

Chris Draper

Had as bit of an underwhelming breakfast experience. Ordered the vegan breakfast but you can't select gluten-free options on the app so had to go to the till to amend the order. There was then a mis-up with the table number which meant the food and drinks took 20 mins to arrive. The food was tasty but it was all a bit tepid, apart from the scrambled tofu which was cold and unpleasant. I would have fed this back to the staff but at no point were we asked whether our food was OK. And for nearly £15 I didn't think it was particularly good value, one small sausage and only half a tomato! There are better places for breakfast in Bristol.

THE BEST BREAKFAST PLACE IN BRISTOL!! I could rave about this place all day long and write a 5000 word essay about how good this place is. From the most friendliest staff that are genuinely happy to be there (which is rare in hospitality) and always finding a way to struck up a positive conversation, to the atmosphere the place has. Nectar house has such an incredible atmosphere so cosy and hippie dippie I LOVE IT. Now to the best part of all……. THE FOOD OMG THE FOOD. The breakfast slays so hard it always come out Micheline Star level. If I was sentenced to death my last meal would be here without a second thought. Big portions and variety of foods. So accommodating to all diets: vegan, veggie, meat, gluten free. Oh and the owner is so wonderful. Polish owner of the year awards, so friendly and always makes sure to say hello to the regulars. This place is sick and twisted because I fight the urge to go there and spend all my money everyday.

Visited a few times now and always had a fantastic service, so much so that booked for a recent work event catering. The sandwiches were so fresh, full of flavour and so many options. The portions were HUGE and there were some very happy and full stomach's! The gluten free option was superb- really felt like it was the same as everyone else's with soft bread and great selection of fillings. Won't hesitate to come back again soon and highly recommend. Thank you guys!

Surely the last place in the world not to offer gluten free pizza. The portion sizes are tiny, my friends 'steak' was a few small slices that you couldn't have made a sandwich with. Spanish tortilla was very bland and a really small few slices for the money. Will not return, all our large party were stunned by the appalling value for money.

G S

Stumbled upon this place and really enjoyed it! The cafe is a little small, therefore not a place to stay too long/work from. Good selection of drinks and food, and can cater for various dietary requirements, including vegan and gluten allergies. I'd happily visit again by myself or with a friend.

Alfredo

We had been told that there was quite an atmosphere, aside from the fact that it has a certain name, the place is ideal for a beer and also for eating. There is quite a variety of beer, even gluten-free

The best vegan and gluten free breakfast I've ever had. Absolutely delicious. My partner had the Turkish eggs which he said were awesome too. Can't wait to go back

Winni Schalkwijk

I would definitely recommend this place! The food is amazing, very well prepared with high quality ingredients in tasteful and beautiful dishes. Also very good value for price. The acoustics of the room in the back are not really great, quite loud already with few people. Also great gluten free and vegan options.

Sally Bateman

Brilliant service and very tasty food. Also very good for food intolerances. I'm gluten, dairy and egg free. Wasn't an issue at all.

I stayed round the corner from Burra and visited three times over a four day period. As a coeliac I can honestly say this was the best I have ever been served in terms of concern over what I could eat (plenty of options) and how the kitchen would prepare my order. It is so unusual and very much appreciated. The food was delicious and all the staff very helpful and attentive, Giani in particular was so helpful and friendly towards our group and he definitely deserves a special mention. Thank you and I hope to return one day!

Kate Barnett

A great little cafe/restaurant. Good Gluten free choices and the salad extras were so fresh and delicious. I'd definitely recommend.

Jennifer Hanley

There are actually no gluten free options...

Bryony Hampton

This place is great and often overlooked as a place to eat. They do amazing nachos which are Gluten free, you can normally find a table. The bar is busy but well worth-staffed who are always pleasant and fast. The beer selection is excellent. Goram Zero on tap is exceptional. I had the pork belly and beans. Top notch. Always a great crowd. Arty. Good people watching. Toilets unisex and funky.
