Top 4 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Enjoy in County Galway

Brenda Curran

Love the fact that all family can order and me being no dairy or gluten can have chip curry, slaw and salad. Even original burger no cheese (just don't eat bun). Lovely and fresh and big portions for chips

Stacey Tyree

I had a wonderful gluten free and vegan breakfast here. Would highly recommend. Very delicious!

Myself and my wife stayed in Galway for the weekend and visited Brasserie on the Corner restaurant for dinner on Saturday. My wife is coeliac and was catered for from the menu. The atmosphere was very nice and the food was excellent. We were served by a young lady called Hayley who was very courteous and attentive. We would recommend this restaurant for a pleasant dining experience. Peter & Siobhán.

Wonderful staff, they made us feel welcome! Super happy with the items available - gluten free, vegetarian, lactose free etc, they had many accommodations. I would recommend their chai latte and bruschetta!

Delicious food. Gluten-free options too. The service was very good. It was quite cold in the shop.

Ellie P

So tasty! Had a chai latte and croissant, and they were excellent. Friend had gluten free breakfast sandwich and gave it 5 stars 👍

Pauline Connolly

BRILLIANT place to go. Plenty of gluten free options. Staff could maybe be a bit more aware of the customer. Ask do they want water for the table small things like that 😁

Had a beautiful meal here last night for a friend's birthday. There were 6 of us; 2 vegetarians (one who is also a coeliac), a vegan and 3 meat eaters. Firstly, the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant is lovely and cozy. The waitress who served us was so friendly and couldn't be more helpful. She explained the options to us for gluten free, vegan etc. and checked several things with the chef willingly. The food was fresh, piping hot and beautifully seasoned and presented. Generous portion sizes too and good value. I had the soup to start with homemade Guinness treacle bread, one of the best soups I've ever had. My fiancé (the coeliac veggie!) had gluten free mushroom tacos, they were also delicious and on proper corn tortillas. Gluten free dishes came out marked as such which was great peace of mind. For mains I had the wild mushroom and pumpkin tagliatelle with garlic bread, divine and a huge portion! My fiancé had falafel which came with vegetables, hummus and various dips, which he really enjoyed. Most desserts are gluten free also, I had a gorgeous chocolate brownie, warm with ice cream. My only teeny critique is in the dark it's hard to read on their sign outside that it says parking at rear - we drove past at first not realising the alleyway beside led to ample parking. Overall we had a fantastic experience here and will 100% be back!

Overall great, decent gluten free options, nice spots to sit in the back was a great go-to during our trip

Elaine Brogan

Absolutely outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and beautifully styled — the perfect setting for a relaxing meal. What really impressed us, though, was the thoughtful attention to gluten-free options. As someone who has to eat gluten-free, it’s such a treat to find a restaurant that not only accommodates but excels in it. We enjoyed the roast lamb and the fish pie, both of which were packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The lamb was tender and full of rich, savory notes, while the fish pie was comforting and creamy without feeling heavy. And yes — both completely gluten free! Dessert was another highlight. The chocolate nut dessert was indulgent and satisfying, while the pavlova was light, crisp, and topped with the freshest fruit — a perfect end to the meal. Again, all gluten free and absolutely delicious. The staff were fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and professional throughout, striking that perfect balance of attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommended. We’ll definitely be back!

As a coeliac, this cafe was great for me. Yes, service was patchy but they were very friendly and helpful in letting me know what I could eat, and I'm always grateful for that. They pointed out the sweet crepes could be done as buckwheat galettes, which was also welcome. The nice thing with galettes is that the traditional grain used to make them in Britanny is buckwheat which makes them naturally gluten free.

This place has a separate gluten free breakfast lunch and breakfast menu which is amazing. Food is awesome. You usually need to queue but get seated fast. A wee gem !

Celeste Ortiz

Excellent food, very lovely servers. Gluten free bread with avocado and poached eggs were spectacular.

Gaurab

Delicious food, great ambience and service. The chicken liver pate with toasts is a great starter. Don’t miss their whole lobsters with crab claws. As a dessert, you probably won’t want to miss the gluten free opera cake.

If you're touring the Wild Atlantic Way, heading to Kylemore Abbey, or exploring the breathtaking Connemara region, The Purple Door Café in Leenane Village is an absolute must-stop. Nestled along the stunning Killary Harbour, this charming little café offers an unforgettable experience. Their pastries and treats are divine—perfect for taking on the road to keep you fueled for your journey. They also have a great selection of gluten-free options, so there's something delicious for everyone. Pair your treat with their excellent coffee, or stay a while and enjoy hearty soups that warm the soul. The owner, Connor & fam, is as gracious as they come, welcoming every guest with genuine warmth and kindness. And if you're really cool, Luna, the café's lovable dog, might just come over to share some affection, adding even more charm to your visit. The Purple Door Café is not just a place to grab a bite—it's a memory waiting to be made. Don’t miss it while you're exploring the Wild Atlantic Way!

Michelle Lennon

Some gluten free options but very little dairy free for a child. No gluten free pasta or pizza and no vegan cheese. Hard to pick with the options given to a 6yr old being bacon salad or cross contaminated fish n chips. Ended up paying for adapted adult meals but the food was really delicious. Cost €85 for 4 dishes and 2 pints of Guiness inc I had gf lamb shank, very tender and tasty

Kiera Treacy

Super service, during a very busy time. Food was delicious & service was top notch even tho the girls were ran of their feet. They assisted all the dirty needs from a delicious Coeliac option to a hungry baby with pancakes and Nutella. Excellent value for money. Will be our go to spot anymore we are in Salthill for a day out.

Barbara Mc Donagh

Shane O'Malley

Lovely food 👌👍. Lots of gluten free options 😋🥲

Emma

Best desserts in Galway!! Even if you're not a "dessert" person I dare you to walk past their gorgeous dessert bar and not order anything. FYI, they always seem to always include a gluten free option. All the menu items emphasize local produce. Entrees are a little spendy, but always delicious. The dining room is usually a bit crowded, but it has one of the best restaurant interiors I've ever seen. It has home-canned veggies, original art, and a rustic skylight all put together seamlessly. It feels cultured, authentic, and utilitarian all at once. And the service is always attentive and personable.

Fiona Mackey

Beautiful cafe in Connemara. Food is really fresh with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Can sit in or out. Gorgeous fresh salads. So delicious 🤤

patrick murphy

I'm a celiac and hands down the finest 👌 gluten-free pizza 🍕 I've had in galway City and County. Price was also worth the taste. If you're finishing up a hard days work, drop in for a smile, beer, and fantastic pizza

Small little bakery, traditional Irish (mostly scones and cakes), not great gluten free options for breakfast

David Ian Smith

Had lunch here yesterday for the first time. Audrey saw we were a bit unsure about taking a table or ordering first. She couldn't have been more helpful, especially when my wife asked about gluten free. The whole experience was wonderful and we have no hesitation about recommending Esquire at Wellpark. Great food and fabulous service!

Ana Ieremie

There was a dedicated gluten free menu and they shared about chips potential for cross contamination. The gf bread was the best I have ever had.

Brid Ann Curran

Great menu, reasonable prices. Service is always with a smile and the girls are always helpful if you want to tweak their menu. They offer a great kids and also gluten free menu.

Maureen Grealish

Great service. Excellant for coeliacs. Will be back!

Claire Naughton

I ordered the one gluten-free thing they had Crepes. With strawberries and Nutella. The crepe was large but overcooked. I gave up using the knife and fork and had to tear it apart with my hands. It was fine. I'll still order again. All the staff was lovely. Despite the kitschy name, the restaurant is quite nice.

Shane La Comber

Fabulous food and very clean. Recently refurbished. Great choices for coeliacs

Fabulous meal in Martines last night. The service was wonderful. I was disappointed that there was a very limited dessert option for Coeliac. Thankfully the response from the team there to my feedback was exceptional. I can't wait to go back to see what changes have been made. The confit duck is wonderful!

Nicole Maria

It has been many years since I walked into a cafe and found such welcoming staff. A beautiful open place that has kept up with tradition, the Irish language was in abundance and a pleasure to hear from staff, the menu in both the Irish and English language for all visitors. The food was absolutely fantastic local fresh and full of flavour, every bite mouth watering and every dish available as gluten free also. Keep up the good work. maith sibh!!
