We went here earlier today 15/06/25 and it was really nice. Hubby is gluten free and most of the menu is coeliac friendly which is fab. Portions are good and a good selection on the menu - quite a lot of chilli so if you are not a fan choose wisely.
Staff lovely- we were served by Eileen who was very helpful and friendly and knowledgeable of any dietary requirements.
My only one issue is that it was really chilly - make sure you have a jumper/ jacket even if it is 18 degrees outside.
Thanks Pho- we will be back. Restuarants like this deserve return custom x
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.
We went to celebrate my sister's graduation and the staff made sure to congratulate her which was a very nice touch!
We got a variety of pastas, pizzas, salads and sides. It was all fantastic, including the gluten free Caesar salad which my mum gave a 10/10. High praise.
I had the Pappardelle alla Norcina (Picture attached), which was lovely! I struggled to finish it as we also had garlic bread. My favourite part of the meal however was the focaccia we shared as a starter, which was warm, soft and had great flavour.
Would definitely give this place a go!

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.
Absolutely delicious vegan and gluten-free breakfast. You have two options for breakfast. One is the regular full breakfast that contains gluten and the other one is gluten-free variance of the full breakfast. We went with the gluten-free, which was excellent! Great selection of coffee and tea drinks as well. Very friendly service as well! Cute outside patio!
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!
Antijitos is an all-vegan and gluten-free taco establishment located in the Omni Centre, near Edinburgh Waverley Station and John Lewis. The accommodating, friendly staff ensures a pleasant dining experience. It is situated amidst the trendy Edinburgh Street Food alongside diverse vendors, making it an ideal choice for groups with varied preferences.
I opted for the trio of soft tacos, sampling a variety of enticing flavors. Beyond the delicious flavours, the vibrancy of each dish adds an Instagram-worthy allure. The strategic location, coupled with the colorful presentation and diverse menu, renders this taco haven a compelling post-shopping or post-travel retreat.
In addition, it's worth noting that the gluten-free nature of the dishes, though not immediately evident, ensures an inclusive dining experience without compromising on taste or quality. This attribute adds an extra layer of appeal for those seeking gluten-free options without sacrificing flavor.

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.
From start to finish you are treated with the most warm and welcoming care. The food is incredible. The crab and bread, kingfish and chocolate mousse I couldn’t recommend more - I wasn’t the biggest fan of the salad but probably just because I tend to prefer a less sweet palate. Tried the wine and ‘snake tree’ cocktail: both delicious. And the most important thing to note - great place to come for coeliacs and gluten intolerances as they have a whole separate menu and did not react to any cross contamination so know they take it seriously. If you’re visiting Edinburgh come visit and make sure you try the mousse!
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.

Don’t recommend anymore as they’ve stopped doing gluten free chips as it’s too much hassle. Also read that a celiac got very sick from here and that’s probably why. Really disappointed as it was the only gluten free chippy I could go to

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.
Amazing food, highly recommend the pairing cocktails with the tasting menu.
Very good for gluten free, most of the New Orleans menu was already gluten free and the few items that weren’t were substituted.
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!
The food and experience are so delicious! Did the smaller tasting menu and it was the perfect amount of food. They presented each dish and were very pleasant with answering questions and clarifying ingredients. Gluten free and they were great with offering alternate bread and dishes. The space choice is a bit odd, it’s in the middle of the hotel right below a skylight. Felt like a food court but the food and service give a great fine dining experience.
For Easter lunch, I chose this venue to have lunch with my friend who is coeliac (thus can only eat gluten-free foods). Our veggie paella was fabulous, no complaints to point out. The menu is varied, and contains accurate information on allergens. I thoroughly recommend this place for any sort of occasion.
Absolutely fantastic experience! Super kind and meticulous staff. I visited Palm Court for an afternoon tea with my mum. The gluten free selection was gorgeous, really delicious, it definitely impressed me, it was the best afternoon tea I have ever had. They’ve got over 80 different teas to choose from as well. I Definitively reccomend to visit Palm Court at the Balmoral when in Edinburgh! Loved my time here! Thank you to the staff for taking care of us
We have been there for a social work-related dinner. Food arrived quickly, without making anyone wait too long, and it was delicious. I eat gluten free and they were super prepared.
not super expensive. very homely nice vibe and loads of pasta and pizza options (all pastas can be gluten free but sadly not pizza) + brilliant range of starters. only weird things was one of us didn’t have a knife and when i asked for parmesan on my pasta they took my pasta away and brought it back. super minor but tiny bit bizarre. will be back.
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.
One of the best restaurants and restaurant experiences I have ever encountered. The ambiance when you enter is amazing. So much grandeur. The service is superb, very friendly and knowledgable. The cocktails were delicious and the food was incredible. Plenty of gluten free options and delicious ones too. Must go when in Edinburgh
Everything was great but a special mention to our server/waiter who was extremely impressive. Knew the menu like the back of his hand, catered to the needs of our group who were gluten intolerent superbly. Also knew all the wines off the top of his head. Perfect service.

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.
While on vacation, we wanted to try the tasting menu at Number One. Thankfully, they were able to accommodate my gluten allergy. We loved EVERY course. As Americans, it was a great way for us to taste local items. The dishes were equally scrumptious and beautiful.
We've been to other Michelin starred tasting menus and this may be our favorite!
Lovely meal, great service.
I'm Gluten free and helped to advise me on the ingredients and which foods to avoid.
Good pricing on drink and wine too.
Will return and recommend 😊
