I found this restaurant on the ‘find me GF app’ and wow, the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had. We were served by a lovely blonde lady who was so lovely and really reassuring asking if I was coeliac when ordering. I highly recommend the West House & look forward to returning in the future :)

Rates the atmosphere based on service and food quality, this place is great and has gluten free options for the wife who is coeliac, the servers are always friendly and efficient, prices are reasonable for the quality.

Bruce Milne

Have been in twice now and the food/staff have been great. Both times the service has been slow, but they apologised both times. Not sure exactly what the reason was, but hopefully something they can improve on. Other than that, decent food, plenty of options for coeliacs too, which is nice. I'd advise booking in advance (easily done on their website) as it can get quite busy.

Sean Burns

Fantastic visit as usual. The team are very welcoming and always willing to have a chat. I am Lactose Intolerant and my friend suffers from Celiac. The crew at ‘the elm’ were very accommodating and ensured our needs were met. The meal was prepped to a fantastic standard and a high quality. (We highly recommend the Hunters Chicken, without the cheese if you are lactose). Big thanks to Charlie, Liam & Erin for being such accommodating and friendly hosts for the evening.

Brian McWilliam

First time there. Food was excellent all 5 of us enjoyed the meal. Good range of food available with options for Gluten free and vegetarian. Waitress upstairs was very hard working providing good service.

Michelle Moody

We came in, absolutely starving and struggling to find anywhere gluten free as we are new to the city. The staff were amazing, lovely and friendly, and really knowledgeable on coeliac disease. Pretty much the whole menu is or can be made gluten free. The food tasted gorgeous.

David Morrison

This coffee shop was delightful, with friendly and attentive staff. The highlight for me was their extensive gluten-free menu, which provided plenty of options. I will definitely be returning for another visit as the food was also delicious.

Jonas Vago

Really good food even though I have a gluten allergy. I was served by Amy which gave me some of the best customer service I've ever received. Good also came quite fast. Overall an amazing experience

Allan Bruce

Good food and great service. Lots of food options for vegan and gluten free. It's a bit noisy when busy.

M.

Local burger fast food restaurants. The best thing is you can have vegan and gluten free burger here as well. Portions are nice and freshly made.

Amy Bryant

Really good great prices toilets have pictures and amazing gluten free caramel apple pie

I’m Celiac and finding good gluten free food is always hard but this has become my new favourite pizza place. It’s delicious, soft and crunchy, and the individuals size is very generous. The place itself is great as well, the manager helped me order my gluten free pizza on a deal with my non celiac partner, which was so nice of her. The waiting time was not too long either, and although I didn’t sit in the restaurant atmosphere looked good from the waiting area. Hope they expand the gluten free menu to other items too!

Karen Riley

Lovely lunch and lots of gluten free food options for our daughter. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable about dietary requirements

David G Pullar

Lovely food, good quality burgers with great gluten free options.

Emilian Wilczek

The best drinks, lovely service, vibe and food. Gluten-free alternatives if you ask

William Gibb

Hands down the best steak burger I've had in a long time, tasty and succulent. Beautiful restaurant in a great location within the wonderful city of Dundee. Friendly staff and service. I highly recommend Porters for a burger or a steak , we were highly delighted. My wife is gluten-free and they took care of that without any problems . Well done to the staff and all involved .

Pauline McCabe

Busy place which is always a good recommendation in itself. Some foods have to be requested and cooked to order but never takes long. ... And have a gluten free day every month for those with specific dietary needs Always clean and presentable

Hannah Webb

Nice Mexican place but nothing outstanding. The Tacos were the best, but guac and salsa didn’t seem made in house. Gluten free options available

Jeanette Hunter

Lovely wee cafe run by the church. The soup, sandwich and cake deal was really great value. It’s great that they have so many savoury and sweet gluten free options and it seems the kitchen takes care in keeping everything separate. Unfortunately, one staff member brought my tea out with a gluten biscuit on the side. (To be honest I wasn’t expecting a biscuit and would have been happy enough without as the rest of the food was great value). Another staff member apologised profusely and replaced everything after I asked about it. I don’t want to complain too much as it was a mistake and I’m grateful for any place that offers gluten free and food for coeliacs. Although it might be wise to double check if you’re unsure of anything. I really enjoyed the cake, good texture for gluten free.

Audrey Murphy

Lovely cafe and staff Nice to see a good gluten free choice

Alice Pitcairn

Very disappointed in the poor allergen information. Previously had a separate no gluten menu, and easy to follow info. We chose here due to good experiences with this in the past. Now there is only a folder of printed allergen information, which is almost impossible to follow, seems incomplete, and I still didn't get the cheesecake I ordered, as it apparently contained gluten despite it being marked as ok in the folder. I chose banoffee cheesecake -if I had known it would be forest fruit cheesecake I would have gone for ice-cream instead (though it was still good) The staff in Dundee were lovely, were clearly very allergy aware, and I decided to trust them (and no symptoms so far, which means my faith was well placed). Chefs and waiters were great, but clearly hampered by central management not giving them the right menus/ inserts for allergen folder. There is no meaningful allergen information that I can find online. The folder was paper printouts, which seemed to be for multiple menus, but no clear headings to help me find the right one. (Contained a number of different bits for daytime /evening specials/breakfast/kids/Christmas/valentine's, but I couldn't figure out which matched the main menu we were given with prices and descriptions of dishes). Some dishes on menu didn't seem to appear in the allergen folder at all. Others had contradictory info in different places (e.g. double stack burger with gluten free bun was gluten free, but elsewhere double stack burger without bun contained gluten?? 🤔)

Karen Doherty

This was out first visit. The service was great. The food was all lovely except for the burger my daughter had. The burger sauce was spicy and the burger was quite dry so she didn't eat it. She did love the garlic dough balls and the churros. Eveything on the menu tells you if a gluten free alternative is available which was great for my husband. It is dog friendly is well which is why we chose it. We had our little dog with us who happily sat in the corner.

Emmi Kukkula

Ordered a delivery over the phone and asked about gluten free options, the woman on the phone was so helpful and aware of things like cross contamination which right away put my mind at ease. The food arrived quickly, was hot and the gluten free dishes were clearly marked. We all really enjoyed the food, I do wish my halloumi kebab would have come with some more vegetables (there was only half a tomato, a small piece of onion and a chilli) but other than that everything was amazing! Will definitely order again, also we have eaten at the restaurant a few months ago and had an equally positive experience. Very charming, atmospheric venue & quick, friendly service.

Clare Mc Donough

Go Fastly

Great food and assistance as my other half is celiac. Thank you

Susan Young

First time we’ve been here and will definitely be back. My husbands scone was in his words “in a different class.” I am gluten intolerant and the server went out of his way to find something for me to have with my tea. All round fabulous.

Mag Guignard

I have had the lemon Bakewell which is gluten free and I must say it's the best cake I have ever tasted!

Mary Martha Gonzalez

Authentic Italian restaurant with a casual vibe. Attentive friendly staff and delicious food - best gluten free pizza in Dundee (homemade base)!

Roman

Good place, but maybe lacks gluten-free options

Gaby Aucar

Very nice place, the attention was perfect and also the coffe was great. Only one gluten free option.

Anna Thornburg

The website indicates that all dishes can be adapted gluten-free, that there are risottos and many more choices of pasta and pizza than on the site's menu. Arrived there: no more choice, no gluten-free option for pizzas and no risotto. Fortunately there is gluten-free pasta. The map on the internet is misleading, too bad.

B Black

Really delicious tasty food and good service, the aubergine curry is especially nice. Gluten free options and generous portions

Jonathan Walkingshaw

I love a pizza. Love ‘em. But a takeaway pizza is more than a convenience, it has to be special. What’s more, because my tummy appears to protest about gluten, I have to choose my pizzeria carefully; just flour water salt, dough rested for ages. You know the drill. T’other week I spent an afternoon in Spex Pistols, also in Dundee, where head honcho, Richard raved about Luigis. So I made it a mission to get there whenever I next could. What do you need to know? Well, they have an app. That’s important because they’re busy and despite placing an order just after opening at 1700, I was given a collection time of 1915. But that’s fine, I had the option of ditching the order on the app once I had this beta. The app was a doddle to use and I could, and did, customise my choices. Collection: These guys and gals are in Hilltown, which isn’t town centre. I had the car and it was an easy spin. Google reckoned it would take half an hour to march there from the V&A. Just be aware that you might have to earn your calories if you are leather-tramping. The staff? Engaging, charismatic and funny. As soon as I arrived I was greeted, and chit-chat commenced. But no time was wasted. They hit my order. This was going to be fresh. And it was. Fresh and quick. It’s Neapolitan style, right? In the oven a couple of minutes. The smell was amazing. I was desperate to tuck in. Exceptional flavours, cooked to perfection and warm, Scottish service. It’s not all deep-fried mars bars and stovies up here, you know.

I recently visited this place for the first time with a group of friends, and we had an amazing experience. It’s a fantastic spot, especially if you’re looking for fun without needing to drink. The selection of games is impressive—almost overwhelming—with something for everyone. The large tables were perfect for our group of seven, allowing us all to sit together comfortably. The coffee is among the best in Dundee, and the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive, taking the time to explain everything to us. The prices for food and drinks were very reasonable, especially compared to other cafés, which meant we could relax and stay longer without feeling like we were overspending. The menu was a standout feature too, offering gluten-free and vegan options, which meant everyone in our group could find something to enjoy. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone—families, groups of friends, or even solo visitors. I only wish we’d discovered it sooner! We’ll definitely be back, and I’m already planning to bring my family for a game day or enjoy an evening here with my partner for a fun date that doesn’t involve wine. Places like this are a breath of fresh air and should be opening up all over Scotland. It’s such a wonderful addition to the community, and I honestly can’t praise it enough! 👏👏👏

Mohammed Bukhsh

Heavenly Desserts in Dundee is a paradise for dessert lovers. The elegant, modern setting and extensive menu of indulgent treats make it a standout spot. From rich chocolate fondants and creamy cheesecakes to vegan and gluten-free options, there’s something for everyone. The desserts are beautifully presented, and the quality of ingredients shines through. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect for a casual outing or a special treat. The experience is worth it. Highly recommended for a luxurious sweet escape!

Pamela Boyce

Popped in for lunch yesterday, it was lovely. My daughter is celiac and was delighted with her burger. One of the best she has tasted. Staff were fully aware and appreciative of gluten free requirements. They have a separate area in their kitchen for preparing gluten free. Would definitely recommend 👌.

Maria Ferrara

Best gluten-free and dairy free fish and chips ever! Good quality and price. Ask for battered fish.

Rebecca Geddes

I attended a function here last night and was blown away by the standard of the food. I am a Coeliac and was very well catered for indeed. The atmosphere was great and the staff were very attentive. Fabulous food, fabulous staff and a fabulous view over the Tay - what more could you wish for!
