Top 35 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in Northern Quarter, Manchester

This is a home styleChinese restaurant. Service was outstanding and the staff were very attentive and kept asking us if everything was ok. There is a separate gluten-free menu and the choice is reasonable. The main menu is not extensive but covers the usual dishes. I was slightly disappointed in the quality. The gluten free lemon chicken was lacking in sufficient lemon taste but the chicken breast was great. The non coeliac meat dish was very tasty yet overpowered by the use of too much starch in the sauce. Spring rolls were did not contain enough filling. The oil in which they were fried was perhaps not hot enough. The hot and sour soup contained chicken and shrimps and was tasty, although the thickening starch was a bit too much. Overall, excellent service and great for coeliacs who very rarely get the chance to eat Chinese food. Highly recommended.

Great gluten free pie options, the service was lovely. There were a couple of issues with our meal but they dealt with them well.

I absolutely love the place! Perfect for gluten free and super cute. It is quite small but this is part of its charm. Service is amazing and so welcoming :) I recommend any of the brownies and the gluten free bagel is out of this world !

They don’t have a separate gluten free menu but almost everything can be made gluten free except from 2 or 3 dishes. They do have gluten in the kitchen so cross contamination is a possibility even if they take every precaution. Had the avocado on toast with poached egg for breakfast and a coconut flat white. The avocado on toast came with GF brioche bread which was very nice. The dish itself was nicely prepared with some lovely flavours. I’m a bit of a coffee snob and found the flat white was quite average. If I lived in Manchester I would definitely go back to try other dishes on the menu.

I love this place. I am a regular here, whether it’s just to get a takeaway drink or sit in and get some work done over a great brunch. They have gluten free and vegan options and the quality and quantity is great. My favourite is always the soups which are always changing. And usually their drinks are always great. However I got an iced matcha with oat milk today and was VERY disappointed. There was practically no matcha. The drink was very light green and very milky. Just semi-matcha flavoured milk. This is the one drink I wouldn’t recommend or get again. It was £4.90 and just not worth it. Very bland and no flavour. Left me quite upset and let down as I do like this spot so much and am always purchasing from them. I then went in about 2 weeks later to sit in and ordered another iced matcha and what I got was shocking. The drink was TINY and gone in about 2 sips, mind you half of the drink was just ice. So disappointing and just a rip off. (I have shown a picture of the drink next to my index finger for reference of how small the glass of matcha I was served really was.) I understand matcha is expensive but if you can’t serve quality drinks or offer the option of to add extra matcha powder then don’t serve the drink period.

The place is and will always be amazing!! Budget friendly food and the best cocktails. We went for dinner and genuinely had a great time!! The food is finger liking good, and the best part is they got a gluten-free menu and vegan menu catering to our needs. The cocktails were simply amazing xx. The waiting staff were great, too. A bit loud with the music, but apart from that, it's really good. Definitely recommend.

The tastiest food and a really lovely vibe. Generous portions, too! My gluten free diet due to Coeliac disease, catered for beautifully. In Manchester? Pay these guys a visit. Once you’ve tasted the food, you’ll thank me! You’re welcome…

I have celiac disease and I always feel 100% comfortable eating here. They clearly outline which items on the menu are gluten free and let you know that these will be prepared separately but like most places notify you that they can not 100% guarantee zero cross contamination but they make every effort and I’ve never had an issue. They even have sauces and these are poured direct from the bottle so not contaminated! The food is also amazing! Very knowledgeable!

Amazing coffee and gluten free choc brownie and exceptional service from Fraya

Service extremely slow - non existent interaction with staff, we just walked in and found a table after waiting a few minutes. Wasn't that busy when we visited, ordered at the bar instead of downloading an app. Very disappointing portion size for the price, food was also not that hot. Tasted ok but wouldn't rush back. The booths with individual TVs were a nice touch to be able to see the TV if you wish. Music very loud so not the best for small babies/children. Very detailed menus - separate ones for gluten free and vegan. Great choice but not well presented.

Wow! This is a fantastic find! Menu is completely vegan and non-alcoholic. Gluten free options are clearly labelled. This place even satisfied my teenager who is not vegan. Tasty, delicious and satiating. The deserts are also delicious. The strong hot chocolate with rude health coconut milk was divine.5 stars is appropriate 👌 They do dine in or take away.

They have other gluten-free options beyond pizza, depending on seasonal availability. The gluten free dough is proper Neapolitan style. Great atmosphere, suitable for romantic and friendly dates.

Loads of the menu is gluten free including gluten free calamari! 😍 I am cealiac and have been many times and have never been glutened 🙌🏽

The atmosphere and look of the venue is great but if you are needing a gluten free option be prepared to feel excluded as there was nothing except the craft beer vender. I have to say I expected way more from a venue that comes across as a modern and cosmopolitan food destination and hoped that there would be some venders providing some allergen friendly options but disappointingly there seemed little to no effort from them. Despite there being no allergen info against it on the menu, I thought steak and Fries would be an easy gluten free option but when I asked the server at the counter I was blutlently told there is cross contamination on their grill and they can provide no gaurentees. As I was out with family and didnt want to ask everyone to change their plans I thought to take a measured risk and go for steak and fries. It was over cooked for a medium steak and for £20 it seemed overpriced. To make things worse the steak and fries were covered in rock salt which took away any taste the food would of had. I didn't feel comfortable returning my food given the way I was spoken to when enquiring about allergens. The gluten free beer options were great, top marks to those guys for making the effort 😍

Went for bottomless brunch with a group of friends. Have a gluten intolerance and the manager kindly came and took my food order. We had Aimee as a waitress who always made sure we had drinks and was very polite and great customer service. Thank you

Two terrible experiences trying to visit this spot on our Manchester new years holiday. Yesterday we (a couple) arrived and upon entering the ginger host guy said the kitchen was closed (at an arbitrary 1:20pm) - New Year’s Day fair enough. We decided to give it another try today - arrived at 11:35am, The blonde host girl was seating two sets of other guests then gets to us and says there’s a 20-30 minute wait…ok fine..we’ll wait…although she didn’t take our name, and just told us to wait outside…in -1c weather. (Should’ve taken the hint and just left, but I really wanted to see if the food is as good as some of these reviews claim) so we waited. In the proceeding 5 minutes of standing outside, I watched her literally clean an empty table and then come back to seat us. Finally seated, we proceed to order (the mushroom French toast) which she then claimed can’t be made dairy free. Despite their menu having a note at the bottom stating “All dishes are prepared fresh, made to order, and can be made dairy free, gluten free, or vegan)”. Three strikes at this point and we decide to leave. Terrible service man, I would not recommend this place. Instead go down the street to Ezra & Gil, that spot has far better service.
