If you’re looking for a restaurant that truly understands paleo dining, Cycle Bistro Dubai is the place to be! I was finding it so difficult to find places that cater to my dietary restrictions. However, this place serves EVERYTHING gluten free, dairy free AND sugar free. From the moment you step in, you’re welcomed with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food is excellent – fresh, and flavorful. Portions are very generous too. A special shout-out to Jacky, who made the experience even better with her exceptional service. If you're looking for gluten free options in Dubai, Cycle Bistro is a must-visit!

If you're after a stylish, health-conscious spot for coffee, vegan/gluten-free treats, and a laid-back atmosphere, Angel Cakes is a solid pick especially with consistently praised service and drink quality. Just be prepared: meals can be pricey and occasionally lack value depending on your order. Go during quieter hours for better service, and ask staff for their current favorites and aruna recommend food that depends on my mood

Can't recommend it. I ordered a Caesar chicken salad WITHOUT tomatoes, the waitress even repeated it, and the salad came WITH tomatoes. Then they asked if they should make a new one? Never heard of intolerances? Also, no gluten-free bun for the burger, even though they advertise it. Then you get the burger between two lettuce leaves. A complete waste of time and money.

Meera Shah

Confused staff, food very bland. (I am vegan and gluten free) and this was probably the most sad looking food. Go to Seva instead. Also over priced for what it is.

Juan Pablo

The 4 Seasons pizza is excellent! You can order gluten-free pizza and bread! Plus, they also serve ice cream and classic Italian food. Definitely recommended.

Sabrina Djahed

Great gluten-free pizza! The best in Dubai! Avista was great for service.

Dana Penley

Delicious tacos. We came because everything was labeled and we had two gluten free eaters. The food was delicious and safe. Also the views on the beach are an added plus. Definitely recommend!

A favourite place of mine for breakfast on JBR especially in the winter when you can sit outside with the sea views. Gluten free bread is available and I always enjoy the food here, along with the good service!

Aneesa and Andrew Corcoran

Incredible experience and everything was perfection. We went for the business lunch option and had difficulty deciding as the choice was extensive. The flavors were unbelievable. We also have to commend the staff. Rose and Kevin were exceptional. Very friendly and lovely to chat to. Kevin was very knowledgeable regarding the menu and was happy to talk us through all the dishes. Absolutely delighted regarding the gluten free options as my husband has Coeliac disease! Such an amazing find.

Mia Em

Great Service and tasty food, and especially i want the staff who looked after us and made sure my friend got the gluten free meal with no cross contamination . Friendly and professional service. Keep up the good work.

One of the most extravagant dining experiences in Dubai! Al Nafoorah at Jumeirah Al Qasr truly delivers an unforgettable culinary journey — by far the best and most authentic Lebanese cuisine we’ve had. As vegetarians, we often struggle to find variety, but Al Nafoorah pleasantly surprised us with a generous spread of vegetarian and gluten-free options, each dish prepared just the way it should be — rich in flavor and tradition. The service staff was exceptional — attentive, courteous, and well-informed about food allergies and dietary preferences. They ensured we were comfortable throughout. A small tip: make a reservation at least a day in advance. Don’t arrive too early as seating begins only at your selected time, and if you’re running a bit late, they graciously hold your table for about 15–20 minutes. Without a doubt, this has become my go-to place to host anyone looking to experience top-tier Lebanese cuisine in Dubai

A freshly baked gf Pizza with the cheese of my Choice baked in a separate oven. For me this is as rare as a lotto win. Furthermore fair pricing. I‘ll be back, Olivia.

Luciana Gaspar

We had a great breakfast. I had some really good gluten free toast, although it's not written on the menu, they do have that option.

Alicia Reyes Quicios García

We went to this restaurant since they have gluten-free options and I was accompanied by a celiac. We really liked the place and the food pleasantly surprised us. It was all delicious. Special mention to the waiter Shankar who served us as he was very attentive to the intolerance and our needs. Fast and efficient service. We will return.

My partner fell ill after consuming one of your meals, which was supposed to be GLUTEN FREE, but it WASN'T. I think this is something very serious to consider when you think in a luxury restaurant in one of the most beautiful places in the world. I hope you can manage to prevent this type of issue for the future and stay compliant with the food safety regulations of UAE.

Ashvinder bhamra

The gluten free options were very limited. They don’t have GF dough so they can’t make anything. The kitchen is also cross contamination - so not celiac friendly. The English breakfast was ok - Aubergine vegetarian dish was 6/10

Karen White

The food was delicious and attention to detail was excellent - my husband needs gluten free food and we were both impressed with the care taken to ensure there was no cross-contamination. Very good service. The reason for 3 stars for atmosphere was that it was our bad luck to arrive for lunch as a large table mostly full of very young children was in full swing! The result was very noisy. We were much more comfortable when they left, just before us!

Mohammed Arafat was brilliant and very friendly. Service was great and breakfast was delicious! I loved the gluten free breakfast I got! Thank you for the lovely experience!

Sarah Lea Safarian

Delicious food, with welcoming staff, taking good care of my gluten allergy. The view is fantastic.

Ross Mason

100% would recommend. They have a gluten free menu and apart from some things, they can also accommodate and make things gluten free for you.

Levina Lima

The serving is a bit long but mamamia the food was amazing! We ordered Burrata salad, bolognese and wild mushroom chicken pasta with all gluten free pasta

Thenuka Rodrigo

Special thanks to Noel & his teammate Khalil. We requested a view of the fountains and they delivered perfectly. It was our first time here and the food was so fresh! I’m celiac and they took care of me and my diet needs. Very thankful. Wonderful view, fantastic service & incredible food.

DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! I’ve just been there 20 minutes ago and asked for the salmon fillet, when it came, I cut into it and it was completely RAW throughout the middle!!! No doubt about it, it was not cooked! I called the waiter over and told him and he seemed to think that was ok and could then sense my tone when I said again that it was RAW!! He called another waitress over and she took the dish from me but nobody came back to me! I got up and went over to the window where I could see into the kitchen and the ‘chef’ who had not cooked my salmon looked like a 15 year old apprentice!! Clearly didn’t know what she was doing and the owner is hiring young cheap resource or incompetent family members as a favour! They said they were cooking me another one, however had not asked me if I wanted another one and the first dish had completely put me off, so I just wanted to go. I asked them if they understood how ill that could have made me and they were barely apologetic, like it just didn’t matter to them! All the while, the actual manager was sat at a table nearby and never came over once until I asked for the manager, so she clearly didn’t care what had happened despite hearing me numerous times say the fish was raw! I explained it again to me and the waiter butt in and said ‘the salmon wasn’t cooked very well’ so I actually told him not to downplay the situation because it was completely raw and could have been harmful to me. Only then did he confirm it was raw. He still tried to charge me for the drink I’d had though, after all that!! The manager reluctantly told me it didn’t matter, so I left! They are clearly incompetent and do not know what they’re doing, there is a weird smell inside the restaurant and little flies everywhere, one of which was playing nicely in my Parmesan the waitress had brought me for the bread I’d already told her I couldn’t have because I can’t have gluten!! Shocking quality, chef is clueless and customer service appalling and they could have made me seriously ill! Don’t go there, AVOID!

Vegans be aware, always ask the chef not the staff. A few days ago i went to shiekh zayed branch to get some vegan desserts. I picked a few items that had the “vegan” label on. Then the lady pointed at a gluten free item and told me its also vegan. I asked her over 4 times if she is sure, she confirmed with “yes its vegan”. I later tried it and discovered it contained milk. It was confirmed to me when i went to another branch and the staff said it contains dairy. Now imagine im allergic to dairy, i could have been in the hospital. Im not sure why that lady did that. Is it ignorance? Lack of training by management?carelessness to my dietary standards /restrictions? I just know that what happened is very disrespectful. I enjoy going to this cafe. The one star is a reflection of the incident with that lady.

I used to love this place when I still lived in UAE two years ago. This is my first time to dine at their restaurant in two years and honestly, the taste has changed. It's not bad but it's not as good anymore. I do appreciate that they took the time to make sure that our orders were gluten-free and vegan. However, they did fail to tell me that they removed the sauce from the Pad Thai and oversalted it in the process. I'm happy they responded quickly to the mistake but it did leave me not as satisfied. Would I go back? I'd still go back for the vegan ramen but not anytime soon.

Dimitar Petrov

Great Spot for Healthy & Delicious Food! Good Life is a fantastic place to relax by the beach while enjoying amazing food and drinks. They have a great selection of smoothies, delicious vegan desserts, and even offer a gluten-free pizza base, which is a huge plus! The atmosphere is beautiful and peaceful, but I think the service could be improved a bit to make the experience even better. Overall, a great spot for a healthy meal with a stunning view.

Marco Cito

Great service from Ayu... She is the Best!!! Great food. Gluten-free pasta delicious... Thank you!

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at Above eleven with our family. The service was great and they were very accommodating of my gluten restriction. I would absolutely bring guests here in the future

Elias Silva

Great food, service and location! Family is celiac (gluten free) and they very happily accommodated our needs. Highly recommend.

Domenic Carosa

Great steak place on the Walk JBR. If you are after a good steak then this place is highly recommended with the Wagyu beef (MB5) being the best steak on the menu. It was cooked to perfection with the right level of salt and pepper. Plenty of side options including many gluten free options. They also sell many steak condiments and accessories (see photos). The service is also very attentive and I suggest you get there early as they are usually very busy.

Had an amazing time at Hutong. The staff were super attentive and knowledgeable. I suffer from a gluten allergy and the team were very accommodating and managed to make most things on the menu suitable for me. Overall had a great time.

We went there for iftar. Food very tasty! Service: we received the food very fast and we were very well taking care off. Me and another friend were gluten i tolerant so they make sure to accommodate our food intolerance and brought us dishes without bread/flour. (They also have valet parking) Will I go back? Yes! Will I recommend it ? For sure!

Mohammad Alteraiqi

My wife has gluten allergy (Celiac Disease, Coeliac Disease), the whole staff were very accommodating and even made some special dishes for her. Jay listened to every little request we had and made sure to tell us the available options. The chef clearly was very knowledgeable and knew what ingredients were safe to use. All the staff went above and beyond to help us in our short stay. It was very evident that they truly care if you have any allergy. I would especially like to thank the chef and Jay for going out of their way and truly trying to make whatever dish we requested within the special requirements we had. I’d also like to thank Gusti and Aktan for their excellent service. We tried some gluten-free pizza and it was very delicious, the atmosphere was nice and relaxing & the juices were delicious.

Yousuf Mohamed

Celiac friendly! waited a few days after eating to post this, knowledgeable staff, service was meh but food was okay

Jai singh

Fantastic Service at Mowsem – Thank You, Irene! We’re currently staying at the hotel and dining at Mowsem has been a highlight, thanks to Irene’s exceptional service. My mum has a gluten allergy, and Irene went above and beyond by personally connecting her with the chef to ensure her meal was safe and personalised. Her kindness and attention to detail made our experience stress-free and enjoyable. The buffet itself is excellent, with a wide variety of fresh, delicious dishes. Thank you, Irene, for making our stay even better. We’ll definitely be back!

Angelica Ringberg

Pradeep Raghunath

We had a fabulous family meal at Zouzou! Hamza welcomed us with so much warmth and energy talking us through the cuisine and accommodated all of our food/dietary requirements. The food was very fresh and flavourful, and service was rapid! We will definitely be back! Thankfully, with a member of the family having celiac disease, she had no problems immediately or the next day! Looking forward to hopefully seeing Hamza again, wallah!

Enjoyed a lovely meal here tonight with my family. Arul served us and he was very polite, attentive and very helpful as I am gluten free. He also organised a lovely surprise for our daughters birthday which was very thoughtful. Manager who is Raj has also made our experience at the Fairmont great. Best regards from room 938.

Fantastic brunch, one of our guests had a gluten allergy and they bought out alternatives for him, the service was quick and the food was amazing. Arya was our waiter, he had a great sense of humour and we were well looked after.
