Went here for a brunch meal, it was very busy so be prepared to come back later when it quietens down. We had the pancakes and Waffles and everything is gluten free and so delicious! Highly recommend
Fantastic little restaurant close to Palácio da Bolsa. It's tiny with only about 30 covers. Feels very local with the usual dishes including skewers that looked amazing, pork chops, mussels and prawns, calamari and Francesinha which was amazing, Most dishes available gluten free and knowledgeable staff. Also, gluten-free beer, which we didn't see much elsewhere.
It's absolutely great for lunch and would recommend esp if you're gluten free.
All felt very local.
This cafe is not only stunning but the food tastes amazing and is very reasonably priced. The staff were lovely and so was the atmosphere. It was always difficult finding a cafe to accomodate a gluten free and vegetarian but this place ticked all the boxes. Would highly recommend!
We came across this restaurant by chance.
What was our surprise when we discovered this incredible and charming place.
First of all, the food is of impeccable quality! It is rare to find such a large choice of gluten-free dishes 🍕 🍝.
From starter to dessert, there is something for everyone.
Then, the staff is remarkably kind and attentive. Special mention to Enrique with whom we had the opportunity to speak and who was very attentive.
Finally, what can we say about chef Sergio! A unique person, he speaks many languages and exudes passion.
We enjoyed talking with him on our last evening. 😊
To summarize, you can go to this restaurant with your eyes closed, you will not be disappointed. Good time guaranteed!

I'm celiac and came here after reading the rave gluten free reviews. I ordered a gluten free pizza for takeaway. I confirmed when I was paying that the pizza was indeed gluten free - was told yes!
I ate one piece once I got home, and felt extremely hesitant that this was really gluten free so I waited to see if I would be okay. After about an hour, I was profusely throwing up the entire contents of my stomach.
Either this pizza was NOT gluten free, or it was - but gave me food poisoning.
I almost never leave bad reviews - but this experience was awful.
Good vegetarian food! (And also other options). Lots of gluten free options. The sauces are TOP! And the place upstairs is very cozy for dinner. I would repeat a thousand times! :)
I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hello, Paulina!
We have several gluten-free and vegan options on the menu. From tapioca, salads, smoothie bowls, shakshuka, pancakes, etc.
We'd also like to inform you that all toasts can be served on gluten-free bread or with a baked sweet potato base instead of traditional bread. You can see our menu at: https://www.zenithcaffe.pt/EmentaZenithPT.pdf // https://www.zenithcaffe.es/MENU_ZENITH_ES_ENG.pdf However, given that all the products are made in the same kitchen and that we have very limited space, we can't guarantee 100% that there won't be any cross-contamination, even though we take every possible precaution. To date we have never had any reported incidents
If you come to visit us, we suggest that you inform the manager immediately when you order, so that we can take extra care. We hope to see you soon, Zenith team "
Very good pizzeria!! The pizzas are made by a pizza chef, they are great. Excellent for celiacs and people with gluten intolerance, like me. I highly recommend it!!

Had a lovely meal here. Great for gluten fee, knowledgeable friendly staff, menu clearly labelled and staff confirmed all orders to be sure all gluten free. Had the mozzarella salad, delicious squid and amazing duck risotto.
Very small resturant on the water front. Seating outside with about 5 tables for 2 inside.
I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hi Paulina,
We do have a gluten free menu.
When you visit us, please inform the server of all your allergies, our staff will certainly provide you a meal free of allergens.
Check attached our full menu allergens for your consideration prior to your visit.
Thanks"

Fantastic meal here. Just back of the river front and behind the restaurant Rib. Great atmosphere. Good for gluten free. Knowledgeable staff and lots of options for those with dietary restrictions. Food was delicious but go hungry as portions generous. Had a sea bass and.octopus as mains, both of which were great. All dishes looked good.
Delicious mouse for desert.
Good wine selection.
All reasonably priced. Would highly recommend. Booking needed.
Extremely delicious and special. Tasty AND healthy is rare :). In addition, a lot of the food was gluten-free, which is a huge relief for people with celiac disease. Would come back at any time!
Great resturant. Limited gluten free choices but all labelled, knowledge and friendly staff well informed on cross contamination.
Non GF food all looked great.
We had tortilla, veal capaccio and prawn risotto. All delicious.
Great setting with a good vibe in the main railway station.
Booking required as constantly busy.
Really enjoyed this place, there was a big variety of food and a good atmosphere.
A good place for a first date or just for an affordable dinner.
All-you-can-eat lettuce was a godsend in this gluten-full, pastry-for-breakfast/lunch/dinner continent.
Great place, extremely recommend.
Very nice place! They accommodated my food allergies and intolerances. They were very kind about this. If you have a gluten / dairy allergy, let them know.
Mercador Café & Brunch in Porto is a gem for those looking for a cozy place with a modern atmosphere. The service was super friendly and fast. I enjoyed a delicious açaí with fruits, which was fresh and very well presented. 🍓🫐 In addition, they offer gluten-free bread, which is a great plus for those who need it. Their coffee is excellent and perfect to accompany their varied menu, which includes fresh and healthy dishes. 🥑🍳 The decoration of the place is elegant, ideal for relaxing or having a good time. Although the prices may be a little high, the quality justifies it. Without a doubt, a place that I recommend for a quiet and tasty brunch in the heart of Porto.
I miss gluten-free food, this is the first time that it has happened to me in a McDonald's that they don't have anything gluten-free. We couldn't eat because they don't have gluten-free options, only the fries. In all the McDonald's in Spain there is gluten-free food, a Happy Meal hamburger. No gluten, no problem, this time we couldn't eat. The place is very nice and full of people. The area is currently under construction and is a little dirty and dusty, but otherwise it is very good, but not having gluten-free food is very bad.
I loved this bar for gluten-free and vegan breakfast!!! We went twice during our trip to Porto and we will return for sure, thank you very much for giving us options for those of us who have dietary restrictions. The place was also very nice.
Fantastic food & quality! (tuna tacos are simply AMAZING!). Tasty gluten free beer. Super efficient & friendly servers. One of the best places to eat in Porto!
It is a spectacular place to eat and have a great time with family or friends.
The food is great and as far as allergens are concerned there is nothing to worry about.
As for the waiters, they are all charming, especially a boy with glasses who brought me a complimentary gluten-free skewer because he had heard that I have celiac disease. Unfortunately, not understanding Portuguese well, I understood that he had made a mistake and I rejected it. Thank you very much anyway, if I have the chance, I will try all the delicious gluten-free skewers again. A kiss❤️❤️❤️
Amazing! Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had in my life!!!(you have to advise them 24 hours in advance for the GF dough) The non-gluten free pizzas are also very very good! Staff is very helpful and funny. I will come back here for sure!
The best and most authentic Thai food I have ever had outside of Thailand. They have an extensive food and drink menu. Lots of gluten free options as well vegetarian options. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended!
I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hola!
It will be a pleasure to receive you. We cook mainly with corn so you’ll find almost all our option gluten free. Of course with your allergies we will have reduce some of the plates we are offering but we believe you will still have many dishes to choose from.
Muchas Gracias,
FRIDA"
An hour before walked. But once there, you are assured of a gluten free menu because it is even on the tables. What friendly staff. Really a very good quality ratio! For €10,- a 3 course served…

We came to get some take away sushi and the place was buzzin’. Better reserve a table for dine-in.
We were happy that they were able to make our choices gluten-free. We had a couple of makis, nigiris and the vegan box, and everything was delicious and very well presented. Would come back.
I loved the whole experience. The food is delicious and well presented. The atmosphere is beautiful and welcoming and the service is very friendly.
I had a very tasty mushroom cream, a bowl of very good tuna tataki and a slice of gluten-free chocolate cake that was divine!!

We stumbled upon this wonderful venue to escape the rain. Then we were enchanted. We enjoyed an excellent wine tasting and made some great friends with other guests. When we asked about a celiac-friendly restaurant, we were promptly invited to the restaurant at the back of the shop. We could hardly believe the dreamy ambiance that awaited us. This was followed by an unforgettable dinner with wine pairing. When we left the venue several hours later, it was still raining, but our mood couldn't have been better. We left slightly tipsy and with our stomachs full of delicious food. A very special thank you goes to the entire service team. We haven't experienced such excellent, attentive, and friendly service in a long time. We will definitely be back.
I was so looking forward to come to this place, after having been to other Jose Avillez restaurants.
This one was such a disappointment! The service was bad from start to finish, started off with a grumpy lady waiter that couldn’t be bothered to wait for us to choose, even though we had a coeliac child and needed to make sure what was ordered was safe. We were then served by another waiter, but it turns out half our order was already sent to the kitchen. Our food came in different times and the steak was cold. Two starters ordered first arrived after the main meals and again( one of them was cold. We sent the steak back, but everyone else had eaten their meal by the time it returned without even an apology. I think Jose Avillez should ensure the standard of his restaurants remain high, otherwise people will come out disappointed and write reviews similar to the recent ones here.
A place I will definitely return to. Coming for a birthday dinner, my choice was for this restaurant given these superb reviews! And I was not disappointed. You will be welcomed in this small restaurant with typical Italian food with service worthy of a starred restaurant. Remember to book because their reputation is well established and therefore it is complicated to be able to sit down without prior reservation. And I had the joy of discovering that they had gluten-free options (and they are the best I have eaten!), they also have plenty of lactose-free options for our intolerant friends. Carbonara like in Italy, a pistachio tiramisu to hell, quality service and a lovely team! Thanks again to them for this welcome and this service which allowed us to end our trip to Portugal on a delicious note!
Best Eggplant I have ever eaten!! Such a nice service! Everything is vegan (but you can’t tell a difference between non-vegan food) - some dishes even with gluten free options. Highly recommend this restaurant!
The food and service were beyond exceptional. From the start to the finish, it was just a pleasure to be there. My fiancé is celiac and they made sure on each level that everything she had was gluten free. If you are visiting Porto, highly recommend coming here. Yes, it is pricey compared to other restaurants but that is expected when you go for a fine dining. Will come back next time we travel to Porto. Huge shoutout to the staff🙏🏽
