Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Edinburgh

Morgan Patzelt

Unreal restaurant especially if you have dietary restrictions. Nearly the entire menu is gluten free which is awesome because they have local delicacies like scotch eggs and haggis that you can’t find GF elsewhere. They were super diligent with other allergies and dietary requirements. Also, make sure you check out the mushroom emporium in the basement!!

Alessio Barili

Scottish pub with gluten free beers. Magnificent

Stacy Heller

We were in the neighborhood doing some shopping and one of the shoppes mentioned Côte. It was nearby and we walked in during a busy lunch time. The accommodated us very nicely considering we didn’t have a reservation. I adore French food but never get to go when dining with my daughter who is gluten and dairy free. However, they had so many items to choose from for her. The food was outstanding!!! Cannot wait to go back.

Richard Coffey

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.

Kay Corbett

Great local, friendly and good selection. Gluten free options on menu are much appreciated! Great that they have a function room too.

Aaron Heckert

Perfect. This place is awesome. Very gluten-free friendly and great mixed drinks. Aaron and Lily were great.

Ignacio Marin

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.

Briony Stewart

Our go to place for brunch in edi!! So good for gluten free and vibes

j kat

Lovely clean place, friendly service and loads of gluten free options!! Good for vegetarian food too and super close to the Botanical Gardens :) will definitely be back!!

Cheryl Clarke

Had lunch here, food very nice. Massive portions and excellent gluten free choices. We had the mussels and fish and chip and they were delicious. Cosy atmosphere in the back, with a little fire.

Alanah Moulsdale

The dishes are quite small. The idea is to get a few different plates to share. All of the food tasted amazing and was full of flavour!

Tanya Diaz

Wow! Just wow! From a great smile at the entrance to immediate service. Followed by recommendations, attention to detail and small talk! I’m traveling solo and this was an experience that just made me smile and feel comfortable on Easter Sunday! Highly recommend the Duck and “gluten-free” waffles! Also had a great Bloody Mary! Thank you!

Jill

This is a bar focused restaurant, so it's quite casual. Gluten-free churros, with delicious dip- highly recommended. Yum! The roasted beets ranged from cold to hot but mostly luke warm. Beets tasted good, but I was bothed by the temperature inconsistency. I was told this was normal.

Jeremiah Perkins

Great food... Great atmosphere.... It amazing service! We went here for our first restaurant in Edinburgh and it didn't disappoint! First of all my wife is gluten free and they had a really good GF pizza crust, GF bread for hummus and many many other options. Second, the atmosphere was electric and seemed for of energy! Third, the service was amazing!!! Alexandra deserves a raise! She was awesome! We asked her a question not related to the restaurant (a good bar to go to) and she spent time to ask others about their recommendations! Just great service!!! But seriously if you own this establishment, make sure people like her stay here!

Katie Wickman

Went with my mum and aunt, mum is coeliac. Both rated their food 10/10 (and are usually a little fussy). My burger was great, chips fluffy and generous portions. Beef burger slightly pink and tender, gluten free fish and chips crumbed batter lovely and crisp. Service very friendly and warm.

Jason Cameron

Fantastic atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was great with plenty of gluten free options. We’ll be back!

Deb Graham

Really friendly place, has a lovely roof terrace and 2 more bars inside. Gluten free beer on tap for those who are interested

jasmina dave

I went for the unlimited tapas last night and I explicitly said multiple times that I’m allergic to gluten and they fed me 3 gluten tacos. In which I had to go hospital after the dinner. - they still charged me for the meal.

Christopher Sharp

Gluten free beer on tap. Great variety from a great brewer.

Rab Bell

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.

wendy Gidden

My daughter ordered a Gluten free burger as she is has coeliac disease. Waited ages for the food. Once arrived she asked for ketchup. That never came. She suspected her burger bun was not gluten free so double checked with the staff, she promised it was Gluten free as she had put it through as that. There was no flag like you normally get and the receipt did not state gluten free. Needless to say my daughter is VERY ill today. Avoid if you are have an allergy.

Maciej Zurawski

Cool Jade is a cool British take on Chinese cuisine, and the delivery is perfect. They have only a few gluten-free options, and this is not the place for pure traditional authenticity, but all dishes we ordered were truly delicious and of great quality.

Emily hallsworth

So friendly and comfy, excellent gluten free bruschetta and the chips were also GF!

valerie berric

Always a great place to visit, and they have extended their gluten-free menu to fish and chips.

Leanne Fullerton

Wonderful visit to Badger and Co! They really went the extra mile to accommodate my gluten free dairy free request.

Mike Wagner

We stopped here right after landing. The food is excellent, and they have several gluten free options. They have gluten free bread and buns. We enjoyed it so much that we came back for breakfast the next day.

Sinead Lunn

Great find for vegans and gluten free! If you're seeking a tropical escape in Edinburgh, Paradise Palms is the place to be! This quirky gem bursts with vibrant decor and a lively atmosphere that lifts your spirits from the moment you step inside. Their cocktail menu is a delight! But the food menu is the star of the show! bursting with flavor and creativity—and you'll be in food heaven. Plus, SO MANY the gluten-free options! THANK YOU! The staff are amazing. Friendly and enthusiastic! In short, Paradise Palms is a must-visit for great cocktails, delicious vegan cuisine, and a quirky vibe that guarantees a good time! 🌴🍹✨

Christine Robson

The set 3 course Christmas menu was nicely varied and as a party of 7 we ordered right across it. All dishes were rated excellent and flavoursome. Adaptations were made by pre order for my friend who is gluten free. The atmosphere was Christmassy in a foliage and white lights way with a soul based playlist. Service was very friendly and attentive but discreet. It was noisy but at this time of year when fully booked and the wine is flowing but you expect that. Would recommend.

Luise Z.

As a local, these are one of the best burgers I've had in Edinburgh. Be brave and try the Veggie burgers (esp. The fromage). They won't disappoint. Gluten free options as well. It is very loud though. Not recommended for people with hearing aids. Dogs are welcome.

Ferre Chance

I thought everything was excellent! The atmosphere, the live music and especially the food! It should be noted that they have several gluten-free options, which was what I appreciated the most! The fish and chips are spectacular!

Gladys Freeman

Ursula Dodunski

Really disappointing experience. Made a booking for a large group for dinner and drinks. Limited space available despite communicating the group size. Very poor service. Lots of miscommunication from the servers, some saying we can order food from the restaurant and bar and some only saying bar. GF guest told they were out of all snacks and that they don’t do gluten free options only to be then told if you come back in 5-10 we may be able to help you. Long waits for drinks and probably the worst expresso martini. Do not recommend.

Rachel Bond

This was such a cool experience! Definitely recommend if you prefer your cocktails with a show. Their menu is gluten friendly as well.

Ross McMenemy

Delicious dinner, with a good selection of gluten free options, generous portions and sangria!

Hope Robertson

The majority of the items that we wanted to order from the festive menu was already sold out by the time we ordered our food. Given that it was mid-service it was frustrating that our choices were so limited. The heating was blasting and the restaurant incredibly warm with no clear way to turn the radiator behind us down. A wine glass had lipstick on the rim, not our’s. Our server was polite but had to repeatedly ask the kitchen questions and didn’t have many answers himself. A different server repeatedly leant across directly in front of me. The server gave conflicting info about the gluten-free range, which was concerning. It seemed chaotic and not particularly well-run. Poor and disappointing.

Rebecca O'Hagan

Booked for a quick late lunch and was so impressed by the friendly, prompt service and the full gluten free menu for my coeliac friend! Soft serve ice cream was such a vibe too.

C W

we went there twice and it was very good! the cheesecake was one of the best i ever had! my dad has a gluten allergy so we asked about gluten free food and it was no problem! i found the ciabatta a bit too dry and the haggis cakes don't go too well with the overpowering mustard dip. it was still tasty though.

Moraya DeGeare

Great gluten free options !! The prons was super delicious

susan histon

Really good food and friendly staff! Accommodated our gluten free request too which was amazing! We didn’t do the boozy brunch but definitely will when we return!

Molly Herbert

Amazing gluten free service. Beautiful interior. Friendly staff & great pub quiz!

Tiffany M

Oct 2022 - OMG yes I highly recommend this eatery. I think I ate dinner here 4+ times out of the week. The employees were friendly and attentive. I tried different items off the menu, but I must admit I always went back to the pizza. That dough and the way they hand make it were stupendous. They also offer gluten-free penne and spaghetti. Great location and the prices were reasonable, hence the multiple trips there. Oh oh they make their own beer, I had multiple Hopo Lagers. I believe they have 4 that they craft. Great choice for lunch or dinner. You can join their rewards program too and receive discounts, just mention it to the servers and they will adjust the bill.

Jasmine Duschletta

Gluten free options, Gluten free Burger Buns, Cheesecake

Stephi Mulvany

Amazing food, melt in the mouth. And the service, excellent. I have Celiac disease and the chef himself came out to go over the food options. Absolutely exceptional!! We'll be back

elaine simpson

Really busy Edinburgh Tattoo time but still managed to fit us in (party of four). Not any good if you have mobility issues as you have to go down stairs. It doesn't look much from the outside but warm atmosphere inside also have a great terrace area for eating outside. Now to the food when the waitress came first thing asked was if anyone had any allergies I'm coeliac so was glad to hear they are aware was given a list of all the things that had anything in that could make me ill giving me the chance to make a decision unfortunately most things did contain gluten but I asked if it was possible to have the lamb chops without haggis girl checked with chef (she was new and only 14 bless) she came back and said chef could do lamb chops with mashed potatoes and veg with a red wine gravy all gf and it was absolutely delicious and I had no side effects so obviously no cc. only reason for 4 stars is the stairs going in. Would recommend this place to eat.

Lesley Craig

Lovely lunch. Great friendly staff and it was no problem for them to cater for gluten free and dairy free. Dog friendly too. I'll definitely be back.

Richard Clarkson

We came in here as it was out first day in Edinburgh. My partner is gluten-free and it looked like a great place to go. It was friendly, a warm welcome and the staff were extremely polite. They even had time to talk you you. Our waitress was called Katie who is from new Zealand. Food was fresh and delicious, very reasonably priced. The burgers were beautiful. We even went back the following night for a few drinks and sat outside. The atmosphere for both visits was great. Definitely recommend going here for food and drink. Thank you for your hospitality. I'll be back when next in the city.

Siobhan Robb

Amazing food and drink. Super creative and beautifully presented. I had the Sunny Side eggs and smashed potatoes which were delicious. Our server Lewis was clued up on allergens which made me feel comfortable knowing the meal I was getting was gluten free 😄❤️

Rosemary Potts

Lovely afternoon in Edinburgh with family. The food was amazing and portions were huge. I am gluten intolerant so, happy to have a dedicated menu with lots of choice. Definitely recommend if you are around that area

Claire Cronin (All Things Dark & Dirty)

This was a lovely little place for food, with gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options available. Food was fresh, hot and delicious and the staff were very friendly. Our lunch was delicious, well worth a visit.

Vanessa Moody

Amazing gluten free food.
