Alberto Rodrigo

Gluten-free restaurant, I usually eat gluten and I loved it.

Ella H

My daughter was in Heaven. She got the ham and cheese croissant, the traditional custard pastry, the chocolate croissant, and a small sugar croissant and it was all delicious!! I wished we would have known about this place on the first day of getting here. I’m glad we tried it out. The prices are great as well.

Andreia Pusich Amaral

Delicious gluten free options. Just make sure to the waiter about being gluten free

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back " We have pizza gluten free for example we can use vegan cheese if you can have mozzarella … then also hamburger gluten free pasta … so come and please tell at the waiter all the allergies you have and we will take care of you 😉"

Kate Nunes

Great little spot, very helpful waiter. They assured us that there was a seperate prep area, oven and ingredients. My coeliac daughter said it was delicious 😁

Sarah O

So good! We have visited multiple times on our trip!

Unfortunately my family and I, we arrived at the closing time so was not possible for us to dinner there. Judging on how well the deserves and salads looks, I can say that it’s a really good place for Celiac people. Come on, they have their own Celiac version of a “Francesinha”!!! What’s motivates me to drop my review here was the absolute empathy of the owner who gets us to a neighbours restaurant that also sell gluten free food, we need more people in the world like him. My eternal gratitude to him. Thanks you!

Great restaurant with many gluten free options

Certified 100% gluten free and delicious

Alba Figuerola

We arrived, unknowingly, half an hour before closing, and they still treated us fantastically. The food is spectacular, delicious, and the service is fantastic. A very cozy place where everything is gluten-free and lactose-free. The woman who served us knew almost no Spanish or English, but she did her best to give us 10 service. I wish I could give more stars. A wonderful place, with great food.

Jenny Griesser

Great service, efficient, fast, and friendly! Excellent and original smoothie! Incredible pancakes *_* Gluten-free, vegan, and lactose-free options

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hello, Paulina! We have several gluten-free and vegan options on the menu. From tapioca, salads, smoothie bowls, shakshuka, pancakes, etc. We'd also like to inform you that all toasts can be served on gluten-free bread or with a baked sweet potato base instead of traditional bread. You can see our menu at: https://www.zenithcaffe.pt/EmentaZenithPT.pdf // https://www.zenithcaffe.es/MENU_ZENITH_ES_ENG.pdf   However, given that all the products are made in the same kitchen and that we have very limited space, we can't guarantee 100% that there won't be any cross-contamination, even though we take every possible precaution. To date we have never had any reported incidents    If you come to visit us, we suggest that you inform the manager immediately when you order, so that we can take extra care.  We hope to see you soon, Zenith team "

Had a lovely meal here. Great for gluten fee, knowledgeable friendly staff, menu clearly labelled and staff confirmed all orders to be sure all gluten free. Had the mozzarella salad, delicious squid and amazing duck risotto. Very small resturant on the water front. Seating outside with about 5 tables for 2 inside.

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back " Hello Paulina, Unfortunately we have bread in our kitchen so cross contamination can happen… Sorry for that. Thank you"

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them to find out in advance if they could accommodate my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back " Dear Paulina,  Thank you for reaching out.  We would very much like to have you, and there are a few options on our menu that might be suitable, but we are afraid that our production environment may not be 100% safe for your requirements, as we have only one area where everything is prepared. Thus, we cannot guarantee the absence of cross contamination. We don't have a certified gluten-free kitchen, and even with the attention and rigor we put in our operation, we fear that the risk may be unacceptable for you."

Lena H

Super delicious food and a great selection of healthy dishes. There is something for all needs, whether vegan, vegetarian or with meat/fish or, as I need it, gluten-free. We were there for breakfast and took something with us for dinner, everything worked great. The infused water is also very tasty and there is a large selection and you can refill your glasses for free. The atmosphere there is also great, everything is very lovingly decorated, you feel very comfortable there.

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hi Paulina,  We do have a gluten free menu.  When you visit us, please inform the server of all your allergies, our staff will certainly provide you a meal free of allergens.  Check attached our full menu allergens for your consideration prior to your visit.  Thanks"

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back " Hi, from our menu our gluten free options are nachos or the “build your own bowl” option where you can choose exactly which ingredients you would like in your main dish. We have a large variety of ingredients that you would be able to choose from based off of your allergies. 😁"

This was a real treasure of a place. Food was fantastic, good gluten free options. Great cocktails

Agnieszka R

Very nice place! They accommodated my food allergies and intolerances. They were very kind about this. If you have a gluten / dairy allergy, let them know.

Jose Carlos Azevedo

Nice place with several articles about celebrities and a very tasty burger. I was also very happy with the availability of the gluten-free menu, as my daughter has celiac disease and we have great difficulty finding meals suitable for her.

Marcel Cohn

I come here pretty often but this last time was a mess. Asked for a gluten free bread which never came to the table. Had two ask three times for my wine and my water. Long waiting time for everything.

Joe F.

Excellent vegetarian restaurant. Everything is gluten free as well.

ana martin

Super delicious food and superb service. The waiters couldn't be nicer or more attentive. They adapt almost everything to gluten-free. Highly recommended.

Sarah C

Fantastic menu, very fresh and all delicious. Gluten free pancakes for my daughter too!

lua cheia

Fantastic food & quality! (tuna tacos are simply AMAZING!). Tasty gluten free beer. Super efficient & friendly servers. One of the best places to eat in Porto!

J R

The food and service are superb. They offer gluten free bread with the appetizer course. The staff is knowledgeable about allergens and were able to make gluten free recommendations. They have a gluten free brownie. Everything was tender and the wine pairings were perfect.

Emily Eek

So delicious omg!! Heaps of gluten free options - pancakes, açai bowls, granola bowls! Coffee was okay

Alan Muggleton

Lee was able to answer all our questions around gluten intolerance. She was a wonderful host who knows her job well. The food had excellent flavours and the meal size very good. Would happily visit again for a meal and recommend Thailander to all that have not been there yet.

Tijmen van der Poel

They have gluten free soy sauce and took extra care to let the kitchen know that my meal must be taken care of in terms of cross contamination. We went for an assorted plate where the chef chooses what sushi's are made. The quality of the fish is definitely noticeable. Everything is very fresh and I didn't even really use the soy sauce because I wanted the full flavor of the food.

Chris Purvis

We had gluten free Bacalhau com natas (Cod and potatoes in cream and cheese sauce) which was delicious and Lime and honey salmon, which was the best salmon dish we have had in Portugal.

Caroline Sherlock

Went for a large group meal and had very quick service. The wait staff were lovely and very attentive. However would have liked a few more gluten free options.

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hola! It will be a pleasure to receive you. We cook mainly with corn so you’ll find almost all our option gluten free. Of course with your allergies we will have reduce some of the plates we are offering but we believe you will still have many dishes to choose from. Muchas Gracias, FRIDA"

Sixto A.

Clean place, not very noisy, pleasant treatment, they have been quick to attend and serve, very tasty food and vegetarian and gluten-free options (for those intolerant).

Marina A

All very good, several GLUTEN FREE options. Very nice atmosphere, very cool place with live music. 100% recommended. Price between €25/€30 per head.

Richard Walker

Great, fun casual dinner place. Gluten and Allergy aware with staff that goes out of their way to help (Thanks Rose !) Food was amazing and portion size crazy large. Will be back!

Eric Wallace

Better flavors and quality than the gelato place across the street (yes, of course we tried them too!). The flavors list is labeled for gluten-free options (so you don’t have to ask). Staff are quite friendly and competent in multiple languages. I’m tempted to deduct an atmosphere star for the ear-wormy pop music… but no, they deserve all the stars.

Ben Fletcher

Nice view, lovely food, very modern and clean, gluten free options, also cheap! I got a steak sandwich in a different style bun.. no complaints! Bun was very nice sort of like a crispy outside but a pancakey middle, fries wasn’t too crispy which is good, fluffy on the inside and paired with the garlic mayo (that comes with the meal) was incredible, 10/10! My girlfriend got a gluten free chicken wrap with bacon, cheese, cherry tom and carrot.. she said it’s the best meal she’s had in Portugal! (we’ve been here over a month) she is a celiac so, SOME OF THE MENU is gluten free and safe for sure! For drinks we got a home made mint lemonade, big glass and refreshing, lovely place!

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Yes we have lots of options"

Lisa Syverson

This is a very small restaurant run by a chef and a hostess/server with excellent tapas style food. We had an amazing experience here and some of the best salmon poke and tuna we've had. I am gluten free and although they don't have a dedicated Gf kitchen space or gf bread, we were seated at the counter when we could see the chef prepare the food and he was very careful about preparation. You could tell that he is well organized and always prepares food with care and it was not just because we could see him. Because it is a small restaurant, nothing is fast, but it's totally worth the wait.

Rebecca Christoph

Me and my hubby went for a quick lunch to Don Sebastião and we were very much surprised about the delightful food and wine. The food was very honest but delicious at the same time. I had a beef Portuguesa (all glutenfree), the potatoes and the meat were on point! The vine was from Douro and just the right companion. Only slidly minus point are the chairs- they look so stunning but aren’t that comfortable 🥲.

Ліля Кухарець

On the plus side, gluten is indicated in the menu, and after the meal, a compliment is brought in the form of small pasteles de nata. Of the minuses - rather strange service. Before I finished my order, the waiter had already turned to my companion, ignoring me twice. Delicious tempura shrimp, but absolutely not tasty veal kebab. The meat looks like it was boiled and then browned on the grill. No spices, no salt. Very disappointed. The atmosphere is great, I recommend booking a table in advance

Captain Techie A

Great All You Can Eat Sushi Restaurant. They offer 2 price tiers, with over 90 different items available total. About $12 € and $15€ per person for the buffet. Everything was great good and nicely presented. Many gluten free options available. Indoor and outdoor seating. I would recommend this restaurant.

Leticia Palomo

It has been a very good experience. The waiter treated us great. All gluten free for celiacs. If you come to the Azores, don't hesitate to stop by their restaurant.

Beatriz Duarte

They make the tastiest waffles😭💕. Everything is gluten free. They also accomodated for my egg intolerance and everything turned out amazing!

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Good evening, dear Paulina.    First of all, thank you for your preference choosing Sea-Me - Peixaria Moderna.   Yes, we do. Our restaurant has the fish market that have fresh fishes everyday and a variety of options, which you can choose the way of making it and one of those options is grilled fish accomplished with vegetables which we can guarantee the non-contamination how it's made with a small portion of olive and sea-salt. About the contamination about other plates, we can't assure, how our kitchen has plates that have those ingredients.  Also, we will put the note on your reservation, that means that we will inform our colleagues and the kitchen, which will have the compromise to be careful with your food to give a good experience.  Kindly, Geovana de Lucena"

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back " Hi Paulina, Thanks for getting in touch with us. We can take out any ingredients that you are allergic to (e.g. we can do burgers without buns or cheese, we can take off certain sauces, etc) for sure, however, it is hard to 100% guarantee that there hasn't been any potential cross-contamination in ingredients that we buy in, or during the preparation process. Hope this helps, All the best"

Tiago Gonçalves

Every year we spend holidays in Algarve and we go to this pizza place. Best gluten free pizza I ever had. Always call one day before to make the reservation and make sure they have enough gluten free pizza for all of us. Thank you and see u next year
