The service here is incredible and the staff are very knowledgeable on gluten free meals and how they adapt their menu to fit GF needs. If we were staying longer I’d be back here for breakfast again!

The food is incredible, you can tell they are Italian. They have gluten-free pasta options although there isn't much to choose from. It comes in a VERY small quantity for the price, but it is very very delicious for a treat-meal.

This is the go to place for gluten free. Best food and desserts by far and amazing flavours. No fear of missing out you can eat it all. Highly recommend ordering a couple different dishes and sharing. Also the lions mane was a first and would eat again. Best GFDF dessert I’ve had in years!

Lots of vegan, vegetarian, gluten free options marked in the menu. There were 4 people waiting for tables when we arrived, and we still were seated in 5mins. Pizza and salad combo makes a perfect light meal. Salad was as basic as it gets, but fine. Pizza was better than I expected - thin crust, well dressed.

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.

This meal was soooo delicious! I had the traditional haggis, with neeps and tatties, adapted for gluten and dairy free. The staff was very knowledgeable in allergens and it was easy to order. The haggis was absolutely delicious. I had the whisky and mustard sauce, which added a different flavors to it. It was also delicious without the sauce. I would definitely come back again next time I'm in Edinburgh!

Quite possibly the nicest indian food ive had in years, with a huge range of food, and variation for veggie, vegan and celiac, there is very little (if anything) to be unhappy about. Staff were friendly and patient and the price was very reasonable for the amount of food!

Worst experience in a Pizza Hut in my entire life. I love pizza Hut, there is none in my city so when I travel I always try to find a Pizza Hut to eat. I ordered one chicken pizza. It was not good at all, I had to take literally all chicken pieces out of the pizza and still couldn’t eat all. My husband ordered a gluten free pizza, it was as bad as mine. The worst part is that we have paid around £17 in each pizza. The staff was super friendly though. Anyway do not recommend chicken pizza neither the gluten free one.

Fresh and delicious sushi. Very kind staff and super attentive to allergies. Allergens are clearly indicated on the products, ideal for those intolerant to gluten and lactose.

I love this place. They’re waiters are lovely, the music is great and the whole vibe is fun. The menu is massive and great if you are vegetarian as you can sub most meat for tofu and vice versa. Similarly, loads of gluten free options. Only downsides - you often have to queue, their flavoured negroni is a bit too strong on the lemongrass/ lychee and you have to pay for rice separately which always puts me off the curry
