Top 44 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Scotland

Katie Shepherd

Amazing GF pizza

Claire Graham

Amazing crepes with wonderful fillings. A regular for me!

Paul Steinmann

Super friendly service, very delicious sandwiches, most dishes available gf. Gluten free. Also a quiter place, a bit out of the touristic zones. We have been here every day we spend in edinburgh! ... okay, 2 days, so only twice, but still !

Bethhy

Amazing Gluten Free food, particularly the pastries - which are rare to find in Scotland and even rarer to find a good one. SO TASTY!

Akshay Patel

Really nice gluten-free fish and chips, and nice selection of soft drinks and beer.

Rachel Dawes

Excellent GF fish and chips, best I’ve had in Scotland! Dedicated fryer, be sure to add the GF/malt free vinegar, delicious!

Morgan Patzelt

Unreal restaurant especially if you have dietary restrictions. Nearly the entire menu is gluten free which is awesome because they have local delicacies like scotch eggs and haggis that you can’t find GF elsewhere. They were super diligent with other allergies and dietary requirements. Also, make sure you check out the mushroom emporium in the basement!!

Martin Barnes

Great gluten free menu

Alessio Barili

Scottish pub with gluten free beers. Magnificent

Service is friendly, loads of GF options. GF food fried separately. I'm coeliac and ordered a few times here and no issues. Highly recommend this chippy.

Julia Villoldo

We ate very well. One of us is celiac, and the pizza was delicious. They were very attentive to our tastes. Our waitress, Maria, was very attentive and helpful. My only complaint is that the tables are very close together.

Kane Sainsbury

A hyped up place on lots of GF/DF Edinburgh blogs. The staff were friendly and accommodating, Coffe was good, but sadly not a great review from me. Party of 4, prebooked. We arrived hoping for some yummy or interesting breakfasts as the menu seemed to promise. Their gluten free options were limited and the bread served was horrendous quality, not even toasted or buttered?! We paid between £11 and £17 a head. The food was mediocre at best. Would've liked to try the french toast as that looked and smelt amazing!...but it is only available with dairy. Poached eggs tasted of vinegar. I would not recommend the items we chose: za'atar spiced scrambled eggs on toast with spicy hollandaise, fresh coriander & jalapeno salsa - very meh and surprisingly flavourless. poached eggs on toast, + mushrooms + gf bread - tiny mushrooms grilled into oblivion, possibly the worst gf bread ever, untoasted and unbuttered. hummus on sourdough toast with cherry tomatoes, pickled shallots, za'atar, salda verde, capers & crispy chickpeas - the most interesting of all that we ordered, but really needed more salt! Anyone else of hummus being the go-to for vegans?

Victor Desmet

Would certainly recommend this place! Amazing for breakfast and brunch/lunch. I had the Scottish salmon toast, and my gluten intolerant and dairy free friend had the best pancakes. There were a lot of other Gluten free options available! Sweet staff and quick service even though it was quite busy!

Stacy Heller

We were in the neighborhood doing some shopping and one of the shoppes mentioned Côte. It was nearby and we walked in during a busy lunch time. The accommodated us very nicely considering we didn’t have a reservation. I adore French food but never get to go when dining with my daughter who is gluten and dairy free. However, they had so many items to choose from for her. The food was outstanding!!! Cannot wait to go back.

Natalia Fernandez Caja

The food is incredible, you can tell they are Italian. They have gluten-free pasta options although there isn't much to choose from. It comes in a VERY small quantity for the price, but it is very very delicious for a treat-meal.

Jannicke Røseng

Very nice food! I apprechiate that the menu is marked with what is gluten free. Had the chicken skewers, very big portion and everything was tasty. I am a sensitive celiac, had no ill effects after the meal.

Looby Lou

Went here yesterday for my sister’s bday. Ordered scrambled egg on toast. It arrived like slop on the plate. Had been done in a microwave and hadn’t been scrambled. Toast was on the side and not buttered with no butter alongside. Completely tasteless. The only thing that saves it is the lovely waitress who was really nice and the gluten free caramel cake which was delicious. Won’t be back though as overpriced and too rustic for my taste.

Meriel Graham

Fantastic breakfast. Had the gluten free option of the full breakfast. Would highly recommend!

Allan Napier

Great gluten free options

Nicholas Anner

Traveler ++++ Gluten - Free ++++ Excellent experience for a family with a celiac. Amazing fish & chips, and care for the customer experience. Don't be off-put by the harsh policies around reservations, there place is worth it.

Lisa Kieffer

The food here is really good, and you're right on the water (across a street) which creates a wonderful atmosphere especially when the weather is sunny. They have a gluten free menu with really great options and dedicated gluten free fryer. I got the "locally smoked haddock chowder" which was phenomenal and came with a GF bun/roll. I also got the gluten free fish and chips which were basic but good and a very large portion.

Kane Sainsbury

We came here for the final breakfast of a mini break. We were sent over from scran who recommended Hula for allergens. The breakfasts were overpriced and painfully mediocre. I massively resented paying £40 for 2 blah coffees, and 2 plates of avocado toast, one of which was on the crapest gluten free bread available. Sorry Hula, maybe we ordered wrong but really not worth it.

Moira McCarthy

Lovely afternoon tea with plenty of GF options. The sandwiches and cakes were lovely.

Amy Rs

I cannot comment on the rooms as never stayed but We come here basically all the time for pizza ! Always a great vibe and atmosphere, the pizza is the best offering gluten free option also - which is just as tasty as the regular . Garlic bread is on point also. Great drink options and local beers I’ve not tried but partner and friends love , i have never had a bad experience here and will keep coming back. Upstairs garden is nice too on a sunny day with open seating or sheltered, best pizza in Inverness.

Courtney Linnemeier

Staff were amazing and the food was great! They were very knowledgeable about celiacs and what I could and couldn’t have and were able to alter menu items to accommodate. 10/10 will go back!!

Toria Petrie-Armstrong

Amazing service from the minute we arrived and even a joke with one of the servers as we were leaving 😊 The food options are varied and I did have slight food envy of the table beside me. However my food was amazing, perfect flavour and good quantities. One of friends is a coaliac and there is a separate gluten free menu and they have separate cooking utensils etc in the kitchen to make sure there is no contamination. My other friend is a vegetarian and she liked that there are vegetarian options and vegan options. All in, this is one of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh

Ezra Asher

If you're Gluten Free, go to the other Singl-end in Garnethill. Merchant City say that they're Coeliac friendly and have GF-available on dishes, but when you order those dishes Gluten Free they then say they have to take a lot of ingredients out. Which would be fine, except when we went the chef refused to do the swaps saying it would be too much work. So despite what my previously excellent experience of Singl-end was (from going to the Garnethill branch), do NOT go to Merchant City if you have Coeliac.

Very tasty food, also a special menu for gluten-free dishes. The friendly staff pointed out possible cross-contamination due to the small kitchen. Highly recommended.

Briony Stewart

Food is amazing as are the staff!! Highly recommend!

Paula H

I would like to say a massive thank you to the staff at Topolabamba, they went above and beyond super service for my mum and I when we visited on Saturday 25 January. My mum has quite a big mobility scooter and she always gets stressed about going to restaurants etc with regard to access. I had put on my booking that we had a scooter and when we arrived the maitre d who showed us to our table had it all thought out, where my mum could put her scooter, the distance to the table and the distance to the disabled toilets. He was very humourous and dealt with my mum very well. Also a massive thank you for the amount of gluten free dishes on offer, my mum is also coeliac. She loved her visit and she rarely gets out anymore so it was a real treat for her. All the staff was amazing and the food top notch.

mark webster

Another amazing hidden gem in Glasgow. Was up for work and went with a colleague and if you didn't know where it was you could walk past. So glad she took me here as food was amazing and so much of it She us gluten intolerant, and they have a whole separate menu for her and so much choice. I had tge buttermilk chicken in southern fried bread crumbs with salt and pepper fries. All I can say is food was amazing and great service and atmosphere, even for a Tuesday night. If you're in Glasgow and want a chilled atmosphere, with amazing food and service, this is for you. And if you like spice try their own hot sauce and it deff is HOT 🔥

Abbey McNeil

The best gluten free chippy ever! The battered prawns are delicious and the staff are amazing - well worth the drive.

Damien Paterson

Very coeliac aware. Separate fryers and menu

Rachel Dawes

Entire gluten free menu, many great options

Aly Dalos

Fabulous coffee, great gluten free cakes, and super friendly people!

Kiana Rome

We had a lovely time. Tanya was amazing and attentive! Love the gluten free friendly pasta!

Sam Stone

Came to this lovely place with some friends who lived nearby and recommended it. Really lovely big open room with loads of windows that look out onto the sea. Very good menu of breakfast/lunch/treat options. Their cake displays by the entrance have an amazing range of different items (including lots that are gluten free/vegan) I had a piece of the carrot cake which was amazing. Not only the best carrot cake I've ever had but also one of the best cakes too. The texture of the cake was perfect and the flavours of the carrot and different spices was also really really good. My wife had a bacon roll which was very nice. Perfectly cooked bacon on a really lovely roll. The staff were all really lovely as well. Our friends had their baby with them so we spent a really long time ordering/eating/cleaning up afterwards and we didn't feel rushed at all (despite an endless queue of people waiting to be seated) We also got some extra carrot cake and other treats to take away which were also really good (Tip - cheaper price of you buy the cakes to take away) Highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back next time we are in the area

Becca D.

Good — gluten free toast available.

Neil Pert

Absolutely brilliant restaurant. The food is outstanding. They have a fantastic gluten free menu. So my daughter can actually eat somewhere. Probably one of the best restaurants I've ever been to

Calum Welsh

Excellent Cod fish suppers. The gluten free options are also good. Highly recommended.

Killian MacDonald

Great GF pizza- dairy free/ vegan cheese options as well! Also have a gluten free IPA

Height Club Scotland

Smashing wee cafe serving big portions at reasonable prices. Friendly staff, and everything can be made coeliac-friendly (so yes, I added a black pudding to my burger!). Big car park, outside tables (no dogs inside) as well as inside, and we got an inside table with a view of Arthurs Seat 20 miles away!)

Lynsey Mcintosh

Very pleased to discover this place after a day's travelling! Gorgeous pizza with great, friendly service. Very happy that they offered gluten free and dairy free pizza options too. Free from shakes and puddings were also available. We sat outside as we also had our dog with us- outside heating in sheltered area meant we were warm too. Spent all evening here, enjoying mains, desserts and several rounds of drinks.

E Johnson

Had a lovely lunch, gluten free options available. Food was fresh, despite being busy it didn’t take long to get served, it was piping hot and delicious.

Aric K

Best gluten free burger I’ve had in the UK! Soft bun, delicious sauce and patty. Great fast service. Highly recommend.

MARIA JESUS FERNANDEZ NIETO

Fantastic gluten-free and cross-contamination-free experience. Ideal place for celiacs, highly recommended.

Richard Dill

Best gluten free pizza in Glasgow by a royal mile. Staff and service are beyond awesome and superior cocktails. If you haven’t been to strip joint then what are you waiting for?

Daniel Mcshane

very nice and cosy, delicious sandwiches! I'm gluten free, and both their gf bagels and their soups were amazing!

Aleks Bug

Gluten free

Charlie

Really great for gluten free. Great amount of choice and super tasty. Having dietary restrictions doesn't ever seem like an issue. Coffee was tasty too! And dog friendly almost the perfect cafe. Only improvement would be a second bathroom. One disabled toilet for such a large cafe isn't really enough...
