The service here is incredible and the staff are very knowledgeable on gluten free meals and how they adapt their menu to fit GF needs. If we were staying longer I’d be back here for breakfast again!

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.

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.

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.

We were guided by the reviews that gave it as a gluten-free location. And I must say that the whole family took advantage of it. Not only did we find several gluten-free dishes, but also the appetizers and soups were excellent. Especially on days when it often rains and the wind is felt, a nice hot cup is always nice. We enjoyed the Tuscan with tomato juice. We Italians appreciated it too. Giant salads and friendly staff. In fact, we returned for an aperitif the next morning. If you are in the Victoria Street area during lunch time, we recommend it.

Excellent gluten free burger with an excellent bun. They had a whole gluten free menu and not one, but two gluten free beers on draft! Very welcoming to dogs. Service superb: professional and friendly. Excellent fries too. Very lucky to have this place in Edinburgh.

Nice little no frills restaurant to grab breakfast at in the Edinburgh area. The staff was really nice and the food and coffee were decent. The price is also very reasonable for the area and had some gluten free breakfast options.
