Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots Across Manchester

This is a home styleChinese restaurant. Service was outstanding and the staff were very attentive and kept asking us if everything was ok. There is a separate gluten-free menu and the choice is reasonable. The main menu is not extensive but covers the usual dishes. I was slightly disappointed in the quality. The gluten free lemon chicken was lacking in sufficient lemon taste but the chicken breast was great. The non coeliac meat dish was very tasty yet overpowered by the use of too much starch in the sauce. Spring rolls were did not contain enough filling. The oil in which they were fried was perhaps not hot enough. The hot and sour soup contained chicken and shrimps and was tasty, although the thickening starch was a bit too much. Overall, excellent service and great for coeliacs who very rarely get the chance to eat Chinese food. Highly recommended.

Great vegan and gluten-free options

Incredible gluten free and vegan options. Staff always friendly!

Chlo Baulcombe

Had a great experience catching up with friends. The staff were super helpful and accommodating to my gluten free intolerance. We were served by Ubayd who delivered a friendly and generous experience for me and my friends

Amanda Flanagan

Went for an early mid week tea. There was a separate Gluten Free Menu with plenty of options and the allergen handling was clearly explained, I ordered a smoothie and the staff member made sure all the equipment was swapped out before making. Food was delicious and speedy. Items were also clearly labelled with allergen markers which was reassuring. Can't wait to go back and try something else from the menu!

Second Bill's I've dined at, the last being in London. Great service, consistent quality, great GF variety. They have a separate Gluten Free menu and you are served your food by a manager for safety. 5 stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

visited Manchester today for my scheduled monthly trip with my son and husband. We dined at the Hard Rock Cafe, our preferred establishment, appreciating its exceptional atmosphere, staff, and cuisine. The restaurant's accommodation of my son's and my coeliac disease is particularly noteworthy, ensuring both safety and deliciousness. Our server, Steven, provided attentive, friendly, and welcoming service. His own experience with coeliac disease was a significant advantage, eliminating any need for extensive explanation (though the Hard Rock Cafe staff are consistently accommodating). He thoroughly explained the kitchen's procedures. Despite our familiarity with the restaurant, their reassurances regarding food safety were appreciated. Manager Rik also checked on our experience, reiterating the safety protocols. My son particularly enjoyed the attention, a welcome respite after a challenging week at school.

Such a lovely place we came on Saturday my mam is gluten and dairy free and it was not a problem, the food was lovely we all had the flat iron steak, friendly atmosphere and the staff were so helpful and happy in their work. We moved into the bar area after our meal and it was so relaxing. Thank you to all of the staff Ash, Simon, Paulo and Tyler it was lovely to meet you all and we will definitely be back.

Jackie Swayze

Great pies! Love that they have gluten free options. I had the gluten free ranger and garden peas - would absolutely come here again!

Came here for takeaway for 3 on a late Sunday afternoon as my daughter is Coeliac. Had the cod and chips with mushy peas and curry sauces. The staff were friendly and the fish was delicious, even after a 30 minute drive back to North Manchester. I’d definitely buy from this takeaway again but beware of the parking cameras which monitor the road outside the shop as they allow only 15 minutes and we nearly exceeded this despite it being a quiet time

Fiona Beresford

Nice place to eat, clearly labelled vegan and or vegetarian and or gluten free foods. Good enough standard. The cauliflower wings were sold out, so too were the cashew nuts. Took 40 mins to receive our food after our 2 pm booking and food order. Seems like a nice place to go for afternoon tea?

They don’t have a separate gluten free menu but almost everything can be made gluten free except from 2 or 3 dishes. They do have gluten in the kitchen so cross contamination is a possibility even if they take every precaution. Had the avocado on toast with poached egg for breakfast and a coconut flat white. The avocado on toast came with GF brioche bread which was very nice. The dish itself was nicely prepared with some lovely flavours. I’m a bit of a coffee snob and found the flat white was quite average. If I lived in Manchester I would definitely go back to try other dishes on the menu.

Cellie Auger

nice place with tasty gluten free pasta

David Lee

Great menus and a very good gluten free menu. Lovely staff and very nice food and drinks at a reasonable price.

We decided to try here tonight due to my youngest daughter being coeliac and not being able to have fish and chips. We were impressed with the gluten free range available everyday of the week. Other places only do 1 day a month for gluten free. We ordered mini fish and chips for her with a mini gravy and a mini curry for her to be able to try them both. She loved all of it. We ordered 2 large chips and 2 fish for 4 of us to share and it was more than enough for us all. The food was very nice and the staff were very helpful. The price is very reasonable. I would definitely recommend it to anybody who hasn't tried it and anybody looking for gluten free fish and chips. We will be returning in the future.

I love this place. I am a regular here, whether it’s just to get a takeaway drink or sit in and get some work done over a great brunch. They have gluten free and vegan options and the quality and quantity is great. My favourite is always the soups which are always changing. And usually their drinks are always great. However I got an iced matcha with oat milk today and was VERY disappointed. There was practically no matcha. The drink was very light green and very milky. Just semi-matcha flavoured milk. This is the one drink I wouldn’t recommend or get again. It was £4.90 and just not worth it. Very bland and no flavour. Left me quite upset and let down as I do like this spot so much and am always purchasing from them. I then went in about 2 weeks later to sit in and ordered another iced matcha and what I got was shocking. The drink was TINY and gone in about 2 sips, mind you half of the drink was just ice. So disappointing and just a rip off. (I have shown a picture of the drink next to my index finger for reference of how small the glass of matcha I was served really was.) I understand matcha is expensive but if you can’t serve quality drinks or offer the option of to add extra matcha powder then don’t serve the drink period.

It's so nice to eat somewhere that has good options for someone who is both veggie and gluten-intolerant. Often, restaurants think you can be one or the other but Maray catered for us well. Very tasty dishes, nice atmosphere and the 2 wait staff we had were very friendly and helpful.

Ashleigh Tara

We had Simon serving us, he was friendly and super helpful. I am coeliac and had a gluten free pizza, fries and brownie which were all delicious. Best gluten free pizza outside of Italy! No photos as I was too excited to eat it. My boyfriend says the strawberry ice cream is lovely too.

Ruaridh Williams

Great gluten-free pizza & dough balls. Friendly & quick service 🙌🏼

Rowanne Dinning

We had a lovely time at Namii, after I was gifted a voucher by friends for my birthday. CC and our other server with the bright pink hair (apologies forgotten your name) were very welcoming, accommodating and friendly. CC offered to take pictures of my partner and I which was appreciated. The food was delicious, and I was gifted a free dessert as I said I was here with a voucher I received for my birthday. Several meals looked great, and they are very accommodating for gluten free eaters like me, and vegetarians/vegans

10/10 Chippy, highly recommend! Staff were all amazing, really friendly and helped my partner through the insane amount of Gluten Free options including the deserts which change daily! Best chippy I’ve had in a long time, portion sizes were perfect! Highly recommend, will be our go to chippy now!

Victoria Round

Very good food and great service, Josh the waiter was very kind and understanding of my coeliac disease and every other member of staff we spoke to was friendly and approachable

Frank Cilla

This is my absolute favorite place in Manchester. I came here while visiting from the US and everyone in my family loved the food. My daughter has celiac and cannot eat gluten and this is the best meal we have had in a very long time. The arepas were so full and fresh I wish I had more time to try others. We had the chicken and the beef and both were phenomenal. We also ate empanadas and they were some of the best I’ve ever had. Not only was the food amazing but the service might have been even better. They were so accommodating and knowledgeable about gluten allergies and ensured we had a great experience here. I can’t say enough how amazing Mia’s Arepas is and highly recommend to anyone in the Manchester area. Thank you for making our family trip even better with your delicious food!

Tegan Carney

We were welcomed immediately upon entering and our server MyMint was friendly and efficient. One of our party is coeliac and the other is allergic to mustard, so dining out can be very stressful, but the detailed allergen menu and MyMint's confidence with asking about allergies left us feeling reassured and relaxed to enjoy our meal. It was a fantastic experience and I'd love to come back to explore more of the menu.

Lovely food and great for gluten free

Ewan Chamings

Good food well priced. Great staff. Kids portions on the small side for our 4 and 6 year olds, but cheap enough you can top up. Gluten free pizza base was pretty good.

susan collins

Disappointing. Had a gluten free pizza. Tomato sauce and cheese were sparse with some ham and mushrooms Ate less than half. Offered free dessert. An Italian restaurant which is unable to create a pizza is to be avoided. Won't be back.

Adhvaidhi

The place is and will always be amazing!! Budget friendly food and the best cocktails. We went for dinner and genuinely had a great time!! The food is finger liking good, and the best part is they got a gluten-free menu and vegan menu catering to our needs. The cocktails were simply amazing xx. The waiting staff were great, too. A bit loud with the music, but apart from that, it's really good. Definitely recommend.

A SP

Really friendly service and well-looked after by Keesha. She dealt with my gluten allergy and recommended dishes. The summer menu is delicious and loved the burnt Basque cheesecake. I know I can always rely on Waggas to deliver tasty gluten-free food and l really enjoyed the North Atlantis G.F. IPA. Thanks Keesha and team for another enjoyable evening.

Manaal Mukhtar

I found this gem during my search for gluten-free and eggless desserts. Arun was extremely helpful and gave recommendations based on my allergies. The gluten-free chocolate brownie with eggless ice cream was exactly the treat I was looking for!

Prebooked a 2 course Christmas meal with friends. Mainly due to gluten free options available. Food was delicious. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Extensive drinks menu - i tried a few coctails and tye salted caramel martini was amazing! Absolutely will be back in the new year.

Chris OH (Chris)

The food was delicious and fresh! Even the salad with the crackers tasted good. We had a friend who needed gluten free and it was accommodated so well. I really enjoyed the pineapple fried rice. Inside a pineapple!

Thibaut

Went for the breakfast and it was as expected: very good! Make sure to come early or to book a table (I don’t know if they take reservations) because it can take some time to get a table. Of course there are several vegetarian and vegan options as well as gluten-free!

Macartney Forbes

Brilliant birthday dinner, expertly served by Carmen from Bilbao. Drinks at the bar, including 0.0% and gluten free options. Quite the best steaks we both have eaten, probably ever. A rare fillet and medium ribeye, cooked and seasoned to perfection. Highly recommend the creamy spinach and we also had delicious fries. The jus served with the ribeye was delicious GF alternative to some of the sauces. Side of maple bacon was an excellent sweet aside. 10/10 to Carmen for attentive, friendly, smiley service.

Emma Nind

7 of us had dinner last night about an hour before closing and the staff were wonderful, really helpful with gluten intolerance and talking through options. Food was delicious

Jaceyproudfoot

Such a great experience! While traveling we went to this location and we're blown away by the service. They were very accommodating for my allergies and understood the importance of gluten free. Check out this burger and my first ever espresso martini! I will definitely check out more TGI Fridays and wish I get to one day come back to this great location. Amazing staff, great location, decent prices, and just over all a great time.

Livey Treanor

Great for gluten free

Sebastian Emmerson

Great place for my friend's birthday dinner. Super friendly staff and really nice range of options for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free.

Mairin Kelly-May

Called in to before seeing David Hockney exhibition. Fitted my friend and I in. Such pleasant service from.all staff. Food was delish. Met my needs for Gluten free. Deffo.be coming back when visiting Manchester again. Lovely find.

Ellen James

We went there to celebrate friendsmas, and had soo much fun! Everyone is happy with their finger-licking meals, great variety of options, looks and tastes great, welcoming and friendly staff. They recently reopened, so everything is new and nice, great atmosphere. I highly recommend caramel tofu (it is tofu in hot caramel, such a fun snack to share) and simmering aubergine in chef's sauce. I'm a fan of Lotus now, and many of my friends love it and have been going here for years. I'm gluten-free btw and had a good range of options to pick from.

Johanna Knaapi

My husband and I really enjoyed our time here. Food was delicious (they do really good gluten free pizza too), atmosphere lovely and service spot on! Alejandro was fantastic. We really enjoyed our time and prices were also good. We'll be back next time we're in Manchester.

Award winning Indian restaurant!! Although Asha’s is not a dedicated gluten free facility, the majority of their curries are gluten free. Just can’t have the breads and bhaji. I had the Rogan Josh and it was the best curry I’ve ever had. They mark which dishes contain gluten on their menu and are really careful with cross contamination.
