Yeah just lovely, I had the slow beef brisket sandwich, my partner who is coeliac had the frittata.
We sat outside, the staff were lovely. All around positive.
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.
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.

Our server Elizabeth was great at understanding my daughter needed gluten free. Service from all staff was great, food arrived quickly and was very good. Would definitely recommend and next time we are in Edinburgh would go back.
Ah Dishoom! We had a business brunch meeting, not our first, we love this place in the mornings. Bottomless chai and chocolate chai just keep appearing at your elbow, staff are so good. Other coffees and teas also excellent. I'm gluten free so the granola bowl is perfect - granola, vanilla yogurt and colourful fresh fruit always make me so happy. Everyone else went for wraps or the omelette or the bottomless porridge - something for everyone including the dairy-free folk too. We'll be back. Set over three floors, but very popular so do book
Wow! Just wow! From a great smile at the entrance to immediate service. Followed by recommendations, attention to detail and small talk!
I’m traveling solo and this was an experience that just made me smile and feel comfortable on Easter Sunday!
Highly recommend the Duck and “gluten-free” waffles! Also had a great Bloody Mary!
Thank you!

This is a bar focused restaurant, so it's quite casual. Gluten-free churros, with delicious dip- highly recommended. Yum! The roasted beets ranged from cold to hot but mostly luke warm. Beets tasted good, but I was bothed by the temperature inconsistency. I was told this was normal.
good drinks, good service. unfortunately nothing gluten free AND vegan on the menu!
still have as many stars because their service was impeccable and their knowledge on allergies was great!

I went for the unlimited tapas last night and I explicitly said multiple times that I’m allergic to gluten and they fed me 3 gluten tacos. In which I had to go hospital after the dinner. - they still charged me for the meal.
Wow, this place was just amazing. We spent 2.5 weeks in Scotland and this was probably our favorite restaurant/meal of the trip. Food and cocktails were amazing. I can’t have gluten and even their meals with no gluten ingredients were fantastic. Wish we had time to go back a second time.

Very nice environment. The pub has live music and decent food at a reasonable price. We were very thankful to be served by Alex who assessed us for gluten free options. There are plenty available plus the possibility to change bun bread in burgers.
We enjoyed eating our poached eggs on toast at this location. We sat outside and our waitress was very kind. They have gluten free bread available and a few gluten free pastries.
Went here on the afternoon I got engaged for a little meal & glass of champagne. The service was great, tables are spacious, seats are comfortable.
Fiancé & I shared the fish & chips. They were made gluten free for my gluten free dietary restriction (celiacs disease) and was the best fish & chips I had in Edinburgh while I was visiting.
The crust was light and the sauce provided was also tasty. The chips were nothing super special but tasted pretty good as a compliment to the fish.
Thanks for adding to my special engagement day, catering to my allergy, and I would recommend this restaurant to everyone in the area!
Truly one of the most beautiful restaurants in Edinburgh! Great view and food as well as super friendly and welcoming staff. Also quite fast with the courses. I would only say that maybe they could include more gluten-free options in the starters.
As for the lobster dish, for the price I was a little disappointed at the end of my dish. Small, without accompanying rice.
Lovely quick option! I've only had the pad Thai with prawns so far and their coolers. They have plenty of gluten free options and I'll be stopping by again. Milena was friendly and armed with excellent recommendations!
I am writing to share a serious concern regarding my recent visit to your restaurant, ( THE IVY ON THE SQUARE EDINBURGH as I believe it is important for you to learn from this experience and prevent similar situations in the future.
On Saturday, I visited your restaurant for breakfast with my daughter. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the host at the entrance, which gave us a positive first impression. We inquired whether your restaurant could cater to allergies, and we were reassured that your staff was highly knowledgeable about such matters.
Based on this assurance, we ordered sourdough bread and avocado. The waiter informed us that he would ensure the dish did not contain dairy, as my daughter has a severe dairy allergy.
However, just a few minutes after my daughter had taken several bites, the waiter returned and abruptly took the plate from her, saying he needed to double-check something. He reappeared shortly after with a smile, saying that everything was fine, but admitted that he had made a mistake when inputting the order—indicating “gluten” instead of “dairy” as the allergy to avoid.
To make matters worse, he returned the same dish to my daughter instead of preparing a fresh one. This not only felt unhygienic but also demonstrated a lack of care and understanding of how allergies should be handled. Given the circumstances, it seemed unprofessional and dismissive of the seriousness of the situation.
He then casually added, “If you want to talk to someone about this, my name is Rachel,” which we found shocking. A mistake like this could have had severe consequences for my daughter or anyone else with a life-threatening allergy. It was deeply concerning that the situation was treated so lightly.
This experience has left me questioning the seriousness with which your team handles allergy-related requests. Given the potential for life-threatening consequences, it is crucial that your staff undergo thorough training to handle allergies responsibly and with the utmost care.
I hope this feedback prompts immediate action to review your processes and training regarding allergy management. I look forward to hearing how you plan to address this issue.

Really good food and friendly staff! Accommodated our gluten free request too which was amazing! We didn’t do the boozy brunch but definitely will when we return!
This wonderful wee retro cafe is definitely my favourite. They offer excellent gluten free options including lots of cakes, the best matcha lattes and fantastic food, and the staff are so warm and lovely - always the obvious choice for weekend brunches with my friends/ anyone visiting me. Highly recommend!
We came in here as it was out first day in Edinburgh. My partner is gluten-free and it looked like a great place to go. It was friendly, a warm welcome and the staff were extremely polite. They even had time to talk you you. Our waitress was called Katie who is from new Zealand. Food was fresh and delicious, very reasonably priced. The burgers were beautiful. We even went back the following night for a few drinks and sat outside. The atmosphere for both visits was great. Definitely recommend going here for food and drink. Thank you for your hospitality. I'll be back when next in the city.
Excellent covid safeguards. If you like Costa, coffee is good, decent selection of cakes inc (p/p) gluten free brownie. Ensure you have QR code app on your phone for quick registration if your sitting in. Note, alot less tables inside so will struggle at busier times to sit in.
Amazing food and drink. Super creative and beautifully presented. I had the Sunny Side eggs and smashed potatoes which were delicious. Our server Lewis was clued up on allergens which made me feel comfortable knowing the meal I was getting was gluten free 😄❤️

Lovely afternoon in Edinburgh with family. The food was amazing and portions were huge. I am gluten intolerant so, happy to have a dedicated menu with lots of choice. Definitely recommend if you are around that area
This was a lovely little place for food, with gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options available. Food was fresh, hot and delicious and the staff were very friendly. Our lunch was delicious, well worth a visit.
The service here was the best we experienced during our week in Scotland. We were never thirsty or forgotten and that is what gets you 5 stars apparently. The food was great. There was a HUGE menu with great variety and plenty of N/A mocktails that were creative and fun to drink. They had lots of gluten free options (not pictured). The location itself is very interesting and they seem like they are ready for all types of weather.
Great place with a fun, summery atmosphere.
The cocktails were amazing and the gluten free Candy Big Cheeseburger was fantastic!
Would highly recommend.
It was ok. I don't know what all the fuss is about. The gluten free toast option isn't great. The cheese and charcuterie weren't the best quality in my opinion. Service was nice.
Celiac friendly
