First visit with my friend, which was vibrant and lively from the moment we stepped through the door. Every staff member was welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable. My gluten intolerance was catered for beautifully with swap outs in the small plates food experience menu. The food was wonderfully presented and absolutely delicious. Our wine choice of a chenin blanc complimented all the plates. Highly recommend, and will return soon.
Really delicious food, nice atmosphere and really friendly and helpful staff. As a coeliac and vegetarian it’s great to eat somewhere that can adapt anything on the menu (except the pancakes) to be gluten free, and reassuring that staff really understood my allergy (a few staff members are coeliac). Really recommend the avocado smash!
We go in here for lunch on quieter midweek days. Good food and drink choices for vegan and gluten intolerant people. The place also has great baby change facilities on the same level as the restaurant.
This wasn’t our first choice for lunch today, however as we had to walk out of the TAVUS lounge and grill at Brighton Marina as they couldn’t cater for a coeliac, absolutely no idea of this food allergy.
But on reflection they did us a favour as the Walrus was stumbled upon and their whole menu can be adapted to a coeliac and gluten free diet, I can’t tell you how refreshing this was for someone with a serious dietary requirement. The staff and atmosphere is amazing and so welcoming.
A must visit establishment for a tasty meal, reasonably priced and good knowledge of their menu. Thank you for making our lunch a special one.
Foodilic offer nutritious meals and nearly always have gluten free options. Reasonably priced and they use separate utensils to limit cross contamination. Great for a quick meal when on the move!
Although the inside of the burger was tasty, there wasn't enough of it to withstand the over dry rock hard gluten free bun which was an extra 50p. Such a shame. For a tenner, I expected more, Not a film prop. Feel like I just ate a dried out sink sponge. Sort the gluten free buns out please 🙏 they're gross
Really yummy and affordable tasting menu - especially impressed they could do a vegetarian coeliac version and the pasta was really good quality for gluten free. Also nice local wine, and all the staff were super friendly!
Really good food and service. Was a bit chaotic to start but they recovered well (very busy early evening - recommend coming a bit later). Food was excellent and good gluten-free options. Very friendly staff. Good wine selection. Would definitely come again.
We had some very tasty italian meals in a lovely environment. The pasta was fresh and the gluten free option was cooked well. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
Pizza express is certified by Coeliac UK, they provide gluten free pizza's that are very nice (however small to medium size only), they have gf dough balls and pasta dishes too. Gf peroni is available in bottles.
I don't like to write bad reviews but I was very disappointed with my experience. As a person who works in the service industry myself I will say our main waitress for the evening was so lovely and the only reason I'm giving 2 stars and a high service rating because she was running around and ensuring things were okay with us and had great customer service. I tipped her but wanted it only to go to her. I also overhead some conversations and didn't feel she is talked to very nicely by higher management.
A couple days before coming in we checked whether the restaurant could do gluten free items in which they said yes pastas and pizzas can be made gluten free. We were told just to walk in when we wanted a table and there was no need to book but when we got there on the day we asked for a table and had to wait 45 minutes for one. We decided to book the table anyway.
We ordered and I said to our main waitress I couldn't have gluten or lactose (milk products) so I would need to make some changes on the pizza to accommodate this and there was no issue when ordering. We then waited a while before a manager come over and said that I could make these changes but because I had made the minor changes (the cheese as I can't have this) they couldn't guarantee it was gluten free/lactose free which was confusing and left me worried, I asked what this meant and was just met with the same explaination. I understand in service places you may have some cross contamination but I was not told this was the reason but I assumed in this case it was. (I had looked through a matrix book for allergies)
It then took a while for drinks to come. When my partner's meal came out it was more slammed down by another waiter (not our main one) whether this is an accident I'm not sure but he did not have the same attitude with the other tables. The food was okay and pretty standard, not really worth the price due to the gluten free base being very small. It was a shame really because I was looking forward to it and I specificially checked beforehand... I hope some improvements can be made from this as others with allergies who don't work in the service industry may be confused.
Delicious, healthy food. Very helpful staff; I didn’t really know what I was ordering but they were very considerate so don’t be put off!
Veggie / gluten free options - mine was lovely! Get down get down get down
Great lunch. Had the falafel salad box with extra halloumi and avocado. £10.50. Nice, tasty, plenty… more than I’d usually spend on a lunch but it was gluten free and tasty, with hot falafel made to order. Niceness.
What can I say! Fantastic restaurant. I am gluten free and had an amazing dining experience. Wine was superb (bottle in the picture, really recommend) and the service is unmatched, really lovely friendly staff.
Went twice, 1st time we were late for breakfast but they still did my wife poached eggs on gluten free toast.
2nd time we got there in time for breakfast. Very good food.
It is an excellent location in the middle of the south lanes jewelry quarter.
