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!

Very nice dining atmosphere at this venue and there was an acoustic music gig as well on Halloween. There's a gluten free menu too which is great. Overall, the service was very friendly, especially from Mallory the waitress who served me. The shop could be stocked with a wider variety of souvenir items though.

Adapted gluten-free breakfasts, without contamination. They give you gluten-free bread if you want and the menu says what does NOT contain gluten. Celiacs, you can have breakfast in peace, my celiac wife was not contaminated.

Myself and two pals were looking for a meal following a tour of Holyrood Distillery and were lucky to pick tapas3 from a google search. The food was excellent as was the service. Two of us are coeliac and were delighted to find that the majority of the menu was gluten free.

What a great place!!!!!! Admittedly I prejudged the place as it looked too "chainy" and didn't think it'd be good. Thanks to a work lunch I've been introduced to this place, and it's great!!! There are loads of options and filling combinations available -which are REALLY delicious! I look forward to going back and trying need things. You basically select a main, add a filling (or two) and then lots of different toppings! Even better; there are gluten free options available; rice bowl and nachos Staff were absolutely lovely, down to earth, friendly and helpful Freshmex started out in Aberdeen and this is their next branch, great to see! I'm a new fan now and look forward to my next visit Price wise I think it's good; ~£12 for nachos and a drink.

Been three times in the last 4-5 months, each time the food has been spot on. Food comes quickly and on the table is a variety of well stocked sauces. The most recent visit and it looks like the menu has changed to be a lot easier for coeliacs to see what they can have (probably 75% of the menu!). We had nachos which are banging, a burger with a gluten free bun and the brisket. The only negative is that on all three occasions the brisket has been significantly different in texture but still delicious.

Upon entering I asked for a gluten free menu for breakfast and was told limited options, I asked for a main menu and they said they dont do that till 12pm. Asked for a veggie breakfast to be told none of it was gluten free. Staff rude and told me there was no need to behave like I was as i pulled a face at being told no options available for me. All and all unhappy experience would not recommend breakfast if you have dietary requirements.
