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.

Howie's is an excellent choice for modern Scottish cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere without the hustle and bustle of the pun. Its dishes stand out for their flavor and presentation: from haggis to fresh fish, game meats, and traditional soups or the soup of the day. The restaurant has two main locations in Edinburgh: one on Victoria Street, more intimate and with historic charm, and another opposite a cemetery very close to the climb to Canton Hill.
The service is attentive and efficient, and the menu includes vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, as well as a good selection of wines and whiskeys. They also have clean bathrooms.
Improvements: The Victoria Street location has small spaces, with limited access for people with reduced mobility. In both cases, it's advisable to book or arrive very early.
In short, a highly recommended place for a tasty Scottish experience with good value.
Unfortunately this restaurant contaminates all its deep fryers with Halloumi cheese (they deep fry it, even in the fryer reserved for Gluten Free food) which means anyone with a dairy allergy or dairy intolerance cannot eat their fish and chips without becoming ill. Such a shame they do not operate good cross contamination practice.
My husband suffers from Celiac, after reading the reviews on this Restaurant, we thought perfect sounds great so I booked a table, around 1 hour after eating a 3 course, supposedly " gluten free " meal, my husband became very ill, he knows the gluten pain when it starts, as he has been glutened several times before, 1 restaurant did admit liability as the waitress gave him the wrong meal, but thats another story, so human error can happen, anyway my husband was very sick for around 2-3 hours after eating his meal, which is around the time that his body takes to eject every morsel of gluten in him.
I phoned the restaurant to let them know what had happened, we are not looking for compensation or a free meal, only to make them really aware of cross contamination etc, but they refused to accept that he had been Glutened, and blamed food poisoning from somewhere else, which really is nonsense, he was however sorry that my husband was poorly. I only wish there was a simple test that we could do after being glutened, just to prove it.

Ate dinner here on Monday 16th September with 2 friends celebrating our completion of the West Highland Way. Booked following a local recommendation & excellent Google reviews. They helpfully moved our booking back an hour as we were running behind on our walking schedule.
Dinner was fantastic - both quality and quantity - my seafood (smoked salmon) starter was probably my best ever and my Italian friend rated her seafood tagliatelle very highly. They werealso knowledgeable & helpful with my gluten free (coeliac) requirements, meaning I could enjoy my meal with confidence
Our family concluded their two-week vacation in Scotland with dinner at Alfi's River House Restaurant. The food, service, and atmosphere were all exceptional. Our waiter was witty, which we all appreciated, and knowledgeable regarding gluten allergies. I will definitely stop in again the next time I'm in inverness.
The fish and chips here are unreal! So fresh anddd they can accommodate gluten free allergy! Separate fryer, aware of sauces that do and don’t have gluten. I felt safe and got to enjoy a great fresh fish n chips
Wow so lovely to find a nice place that welcomes dogs and also serves fabulous gluten free food such a treat to find such a fab little gem thank you to all the team 😀
Popped in for a late lunch after a visit to the Sea Bird Centre and they have also do a lot of the meals Gluten Free too. Great meals at great prices and the staff were friendly and very helpful
We ate two meals here and the food and service were superb! The staff went above and beyond to make sure that my husband, who requires gluten-free food was well taken care of. The fish and chips were excellent and my husband said that he couldn’t believe the batter for his fish was gluten free. It was excellent. I highly recommend this lovely establishment!
Lovely gluten free fish and chips served by lovely friendly people. Best gluten free batter i have ever had. My husband had the lobster roll which he said was delicious too. Highly recommended.
An absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. Fresh oysters, a delicious mocktail, and even a gluten free seafood linguine! Highly recommend!
We had dinner here on a recent trip to the town. We had a gluten free starter and then delicous steaks for mains. One of our group had a lovely looking Cheesecake(obvs not gluten free) for desert. Nice feel to the restaurant and the staff were great. Thanks.

Went on the Indo-China buffet night. Staff were very helpful as I have Coeliac disease so they told me which foods on the buffet were gluten free and safe for me. Staff were very welcoming and plenty of choice for food.
Celiac friendly
