Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Discover in Madeira

Leanne Doherty

Food was so good but sadly was glutened and very poorly for the night. I had the spicy squid for reference.

Natalia Guío de Torres

The food was delicious and the gluten-free pizza was very tasty, but the waiter was super-shy, it was quite embarrassing to see him looking at the women, nothing professional on his part, a shame.

Lovely setting. Really nice gluten free lunch. So many different teas to choose from. Tried ocean tea, was amazing, took some home

Very, very delicious sandwiches and burgers. The best thing is that they can be adapted to suit celiacs, as they have gluten-free bread (although it's regular sandwich bread, not the typical Madeira bread that the gluten-free options offer). The fries are simple but very good and also gluten-free. However, we had to wait a long time for our food, even though the place wasn't particularly busy. Still, the waiter was very pleasant, and despite the terrace being on a busy street, it's very quiet.

Food was great and there is gluten/dairy free options available for all pizzas and certain pastas. They take celiac safety seriously and prepare gf orders separate from others.

Julien Jamar

Very friendly staff. Gluten-free paninis (very, very good).

We loved it. We had dinner there a couple of times, and everything we tried was delicious. The dishes are quite generous, and the waiters are very pleasant. They have gluten-free dishes listed on the menu, and some can even be adapted.

We had a delicious meal at Portaliano. The restaurant is able to adapt a number of dishes to fit a gluten-free dish. The menu is surprising and diverse and the dishes look good. As a starter we had the focaccia and grilled mushrooms with asparagus. Our main course consisted of risotto with duck and cod with potatoes. The only criticism was that the cod was probably overcooked, making it very tough.

Delicious gluten free brownie!! Lovely little hike treat. great service and seating outdoor with toilets, coffee, drinks and lots of cakes.

Located on the beachfront, you might initially think the price is a bit high, but it's not. The pizza I chose was around €17, but most were between €13 and €15, and honestly, considering the size and how delicious it was, it's a pretty good price. The pasta was spectacular, with a good amount of seafood. The ice cream was delicious, too. A mention of their extensive menu and vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and lactose-free options.

Clare Hodges

Fantastic meal with a good variety of escapadas and very coeliac friendly with most items being gluten free.

Decent gluten free 3 course set menus at reasonable prices - 24 euros - very good food but not enough potato... Chips would have been nice as an option.

Delicious and authentic tasting Indian in Madeira! Service was great! Everything is well priced. They serve you pappadams when you first arrive with a range of condiments which all compliment each other well. We had the chicken tikka, brinjal (eggplant) and butter chicken. This was a great amount of food for 2 as servings are large! Absolutely worth a visit if you want Indian in Madeira! Great gluten free knowledge.

Found via the coffee trip app and as usual - it did not disappoint. A cute area with cool vibe and connected to an art shop/gallery. Yummy macchiato and a gluten free cookie (which wasn’t too sweet!). Good service and a lovely place to read a few chapters of my book before getting back to the hustle of Funchal.

Lizaveta Bahatyrka

This is the best breakfast spot in Madeira! I spent 6 days on the island and visited this place 4 times. The food is delicious, the service is fast, and they have gluten-free options. It was a lovely touch that the waiter remembered my coffee order. Sometimes you have to wait a bit outside for a table, but it doesn’t spoil the experience at all. A solid 10 out of 10! When I come back to the island, I’ll definitely return here!

Maria Burns

Coffee and food were average. They had no gluten free bread available despite advertising gf options (though they said this was because of Easter)

Milan Kukuča

Excellent Indian restaurant in the center of Funchal, very helpful staff. Price range comparable to other restaurants. Outdoor seating, live music. Good tip for gluten-free food. Highly recommended

The grilled octopus in olive oil was amazing and one of the best meals I’ve eaten in Portugal traveling from Lisbon, Porto, Azores, and now Madeira. I informed our server Nikita of my gluten allergy and she was very kind and helpful (as she was throughout the entire meal). The chef accommodated the dish to avoid cross contamination by not grilling the octopus, which I thought might take away from the dish (and was more than fine with being VERY happy to know the dish would be safe to eat). But I can’t imagine it tasting any better! It was so tender and perfectly seasoned. My partner (who isn’t gluten free) had some of my octopus and agreed it was amazing. Nikita’s service, the food, and location made us want to come back and eat there again.

Very nice restaurant with excellent food. Whether it was a burger or pulled pork/beef, all the dishes were delicious. They also have a gluten-free option for their burgers, although I didn't find it on the menu. Just ask nicely. The burger bun is made with cauliflower and corn flour. Overall, a great experience, and everyone was happy.

On the plus side, gluten is indicated in the menu, and after the meal, a compliment is brought in the form of small pasteles de nata. Of the minuses - rather strange service. Before I finished my order, the waiter had already turned to my companion, ignoring me twice. Delicious tempura shrimp, but absolutely not tasty veal kebab. The meat looks like it was boiled and then browned on the grill. No spices, no salt. Very disappointed. The atmosphere is great, I recommend booking a table in advance

Best eggs benedict and avocado toast. Also - THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE BREAD and it's delicious! Also really good matcha!

Marcela Maturana

I'm gluten-free, and they had options marked on the menu for easy reading. The food is delicious; I ordered the lasagna and I don't regret it! Finally, I want to add that the service and atmosphere of the place made the difference. Our first lunch in Madeira set the bar high.

Amazing Taco's and gluten-free

Sweet tapas restaurant on 3 floors Very good allergen labels on the menu for gluten, lactose and vegetarian. Lots of gluten-free and vegetarian tapas on offer 👍🏼 Especially the Piemontos de Padron look delicious! Prices are okay, around €6-7 per tapas

McDonald's Madeira stands out for its beautiful location, offering a great experience with views of the island's nature and ocean. The interior is clean and modern, and the service is fast and friendly, although lines can be longer during the tourist season. The menu is standard, occasionally featuring local touches. Gluten-free options are available at the counter, catering to special diets or gluten intolerance. The staff provides helpful information, ensuring a safe and enjoyable meal.

We dined on the terrace and loved it! The place is very pretty, with a beautiful view of the beach, the sea, and the cliffs. The staff is adorable and attentive. We had a cocktail, homemade lemonade, the typical saberfish dish, and the catch of the day (sea bass). Everything was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The best meal we had on the island! Plus, they easily accommodated our food intolerances (gluten and dairy). Thank you so much 😊

Tilo Braeunig

Very nice restaurant with excellent service and great food. They even had gluten-free bread.

To begin with, the space has incredible decor and provides a pleasant, minimalist and welcoming environment. The reception and service provided by all the staff stands out for their friendliness and professionalism. It is a restaurant where the staff give customers space and time to view the menu, choose their dishes, eat and enjoy the experience. High quality of preparation of the dishes, variety of dishes and gluten-free option. Definitely a restaurant to return to soon.

Great family dinner. We got the Picanha & the Chuleto. Their meat selection is great! My personal favorite appetizer was the: Picanha sando, dry aged picanha beef, brioche bread, roasted garlic mayonnaise and pickled onion I dream about it. It was divine. They are also very mindful of gluten and dairy allergies which was amazing. Great dinner!
