Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Enjoy in Porto

El Bow

Went here for a brunch meal, it was very busy so be prepared to come back later when it quietens down. We had the pancakes and Waffles and everything is gluten free and so delicious! Highly recommend

Fantastic little restaurant close to Palácio da Bolsa. It's tiny with only about 30 covers. Feels very local with the usual dishes including skewers that looked amazing, pork chops, mussels and prawns, calamari and Francesinha which was amazing, Most dishes available gluten free and knowledgeable staff. Also, gluten-free beer, which we didn't see much elsewhere. It's absolutely great for lunch and would recommend esp if you're gluten free. All felt very local.

This cafe is not only stunning but the food tastes amazing and is very reasonably priced. The staff were lovely and so was the atmosphere. It was always difficult finding a cafe to accomodate a gluten free and vegetarian but this place ticked all the boxes. Would highly recommend!

I'm celiac and came here after reading the rave gluten free reviews. I ordered a gluten free pizza for takeaway. I confirmed when I was paying that the pizza was indeed gluten free - was told yes! I ate one piece once I got home, and felt extremely hesitant that this was really gluten free so I waited to see if I would be okay. After about an hour, I was profusely throwing up the entire contents of my stomach. Either this pizza was NOT gluten free, or it was - but gave me food poisoning. I almost never leave bad reviews - but this experience was awful.

Cotufagra

The best vegan chocolate cupcake I have ever tried! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. All products are gluten free too. It was my favourite spot in town <3

Aroa Gangolells

Good vegetarian food! (And also other options). Lots of gluten free options. The sauces are TOP! And the place upstairs is very cozy for dinner. I would repeat a thousand times! :)

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 "

Nice breakfast, several gluten-free options

Evianne Legrand

Lovely bar where you can order all kinds of healthy things and where it is made on the spot. Large menu for gluten-free dishes. Here you can eat all day long for a nice price!

Allison K

Breakfast was delicious! Had a line when we walked up but after a quick wait my gluten free French toast was soooo delish!! Highly recommend

Caroline Boucher

Great discovery. Super pleasant atmosphere. Extra welcome. ❤️ The manager made me my favorite gluten-free, lactose-free cake for the next day. I'd been dreaming about it for a long time. My dream came true here. An address not to be missed. Thank you!!!

paul montague

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.

Go Ianiz

Great arepas and gluten free beer

Marcell Kovács

Cosy place with gluten free options

Ellen Olšavská

Very tasty food and really helpful staff. He helped me choosing gluten free items from the menu considering cross contamination:)

Sandra Biller

Extremely delicious and special. Tasty AND healthy is rare :). In addition, a lot of the food was gluten-free, which is a huge relief for people with celiac disease. Would come back at any time!

Miriam Jean-Jacques

Really enjoyed this place, there was a big variety of food and a good atmosphere. A good place for a first date or just for an affordable dinner. All-you-can-eat lettuce was a godsend in this gluten-full, pastry-for-breakfast/lunch/dinner continent. Great place, extremely recommend.

Mercador Café & Brunch in Porto is a gem for those looking for a cozy place with a modern atmosphere. The service was super friendly and fast. I enjoyed a delicious açaí with fruits, which was fresh and very well presented. 🍓🫐 In addition, they offer gluten-free bread, which is a great plus for those who need it. Their coffee is excellent and perfect to accompany their varied menu, which includes fresh and healthy dishes. 🥑🍳 The decoration of the place is elegant, ideal for relaxing or having a good time. Although the prices may be a little high, the quality justifies it. Without a doubt, a place that I recommend for a quiet and tasty brunch in the heart of Porto.

Jose Campurriano

I miss gluten-free food, this is the first time that it has happened to me in a McDonald's that they don't have anything gluten-free. We couldn't eat because they don't have gluten-free options, only the fries. In all the McDonald's in Spain there is gluten-free food, a Happy Meal hamburger. No gluten, no problem, this time we couldn't eat. The place is very nice and full of people. The area is currently under construction and is a little dirty and dusty, but otherwise it is very good, but not having gluten-free food is very bad.

Richard S

Friendly staff who helped me out with a gluten free burger bun. The outside seating is kept clean and pigeon free.

Ana Belén

I loved this bar for gluten-free and vegan breakfast!!! We went twice during our trip to Porto and we will return for sure, thank you very much for giving us options for those of us who have dietary restrictions. The place was also very nice.

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!

Paula Gomes

Gluten-free options and the house iced tea is delicious

Daniela Sá

I loved the whole experience. The food is delicious and well presented. The atmosphere is beautiful and welcoming and the service is very friendly. I had a very tasty mushroom cream, a bowl of very good tuna tataki and a slice of gluten-free chocolate cake that was divine!!

Manuel Pomorin

We stumbled upon this wonderful venue to escape the rain. Then we were enchanted. We enjoyed an excellent wine tasting and made some great friends with other guests. When we asked about a celiac-friendly restaurant, we were promptly invited to the restaurant at the back of the shop. We could hardly believe the dreamy ambiance that awaited us. This was followed by an unforgettable dinner with wine pairing. When we left the venue several hours later, it was still raining, but our mood couldn't have been better. We left slightly tipsy and with our stomachs full of delicious food. A very special thank you goes to the entire service team. We haven't experienced such excellent, attentive, and friendly service in a long time. We will definitely be back.

Orlane Vallais

A place I will definitely return to. Coming for a birthday dinner, my choice was for this restaurant given these superb reviews! And I was not disappointed. You will be welcomed in this small restaurant with typical Italian food with service worthy of a starred restaurant. Remember to book because their reputation is well established and therefore it is complicated to be able to sit down without prior reservation. And I had the joy of discovering that they had gluten-free options (and they are the best I have eaten!), they also have plenty of lactose-free options for our intolerant friends. Carbonara like in Italy, a pistachio tiramisu to hell, quality service and a lovely team! Thanks again to them for this welcome and this service which allowed us to end our trip to Portugal on a delicious note!

Daisy Spillane

Had a lovely visit! The strawberry matcha was delicious, and the staff were super helpful with my gluten free needs. Will definitely be back!

Sofia Carvalho

Delicious vegetarian and gluten-free food, safe for celiacs. Wonderful space and service!

Lauren McCabe

I had walked by this place many times and finally stopped in yesterday. I am gluten free (celiac) and so I was just expecting to get a coffee and fruit or something simple. To my surprise and delight, they have GLUTEN FREE bread!!!! I had a delicious eggs benedict-type-thing with poached eggs, spinach and tomato chutney. It was amazing. I know I will go back a lot since it is close to home now. So happy to have wandered in.

kari bell

The staff is extremely friendly and I think the food would have been ok. I asked to confirm what was gluten free. The cook said I could have the hake it came out without any seasoning at all. Bland and a bit over cooked. My friend fish was delicious tho

R PM

McDonald's in Portugal has several gluten-free options. McDonald's in Leça doesn't have any gluten-free options. Shameful!! In addition to the unfriendliness of the person who served me and his indifference. Terrible service!!

Ilda Pereira

The outdoor environment needs to be improved. Furthermore, as in all restaurants, there is a lack of vegetarian and gluten-free options.

sofia tosatto

Friendly staff, good food, even gluten free options

Sara González

Excellent deal. Familiar and close staff. Beautiful views of Porto. Gluten-free beer, something hard to find in bars around town.

Leilane Santos

Excellent gluten free options. Good service.

Louana D

Best breakfast in Porto! 🌞 A happy place to enjoy breakfast or brunch, lovely people and great atmosphere. Just like a sunshine! Local ingredients, seasonal food, simple yet not plain dishes. Eggs were fresh and well prepared, sourdough was really good. Highly recommend the cheesecake also. Service was the friendliest and quickest we experienced, even if the place is really popular and you might need to wait a bit for a table. The place has Scandi feel to it, it’s airy even when packed and the atmosphere is cheery yet allows for conversation. Also loved the design and branding. Gluten free options available. Vegetarian options for breakfast and lunch. Pet friendly.

Gerardo Gentile

Impeccable service, super good attention, great variety of sweet and savory things. Also option for celiacs. And above all very cheap. Highly recommended.

Amelia Truss

One of the best restaurant meals I've ever had! Came with a friend on our first night in porto, amazing food, delicious wine, fantastic service and great fancy atmosphere all at an amazing price. Good Gluten Free options as well. 1000% recommended!

Helene Harvey

Marie Marx

Very nice cafe with very warm and helpful staff and very tasty food!! I was even able to order the bread from my dish and was allowed to eat the gluten-free bread I had brought with me! Really great! We'd love to come back!

Pablo Rabanal

Nice cafeteria with very complete and delicious breakfast dishes. They are decisive and that pays off. The staff is very friendly. And they have gluten-free and lactose-free options.

Liliana Sousa

Good food, great staff and they have gluten free options.. perfect!

Lucía Sosa Pulido

Best meal we had in a while! They did gluten free adapted meal on request: I was ensured they used a fresh pan and utensils to avoid cross contamination. Try the white sangria and the chocolate mousse (!).

Mathi

Amazing and relaxing restaurant in Gaia district. My friend is gluten free and vegetarian so the kind staff really helped her to find the best dish. The quality was great and fair price. For sure we’ll come back

Lovely restaurant, disappointing service, good food. Came for my 30th birthday as we love the Il basilico in Madeira. Unfortunately this one was disappointing. Started off well with colouring pictures for our child but we had put in the booking that we needed a high chair and despite asking twice more one never showed up (we weren't told there wasn't one either which would've been fine) so had to hold our toddler the whole time which isn't relaxing. People who had arrived after us got served before us and we were on a deadline with a toddler. We weren't offered water (fyi it's not free) like others were. Partner was gluten free which we mentioned on the booking and the waitress wasn't very helpful with this either, please put allergens on your menu as it makes us not want to come!! Food luckily came quickly but no one checked if we were enjoying it. Didn't hang around for pudding given the poor service and then ended up being given the wrong bill! Unsure if the staff are new or we got unlucky. A shame given our previous experiences with the brand.

Daniel Taylor

Good, hearty local food. I was sceptical about the tripas before trying them but they were delicious, as was the caldo verde. Gluten and dairy free options

Eunice Williams

Helena Pereira

Fantastic dinner, with a beautiful gastronomic experience. Very attentive to our daughter (who cannot eat gluten) and with good alternatives for her to eat.

Marta Vilela

It was my first experience at Sancho Panza and I can say that I became a customer. I called the day before to make an appointment, (which I think was the manager) told me he would see what he could find as the restaurant was full. He surprised me positively, he found a more private place just as I had requested. We were 5 adults and a celiac child (gluten intolerant), the girls were always concerned about checking if she could eat everything and what each food contained. The food is divine, and I love their “no waste” policy. I highlight the friendliness of the two girls in the first room. Very sweet and professional. Without a doubt, both myself and the rest of the group will return. Thank you Sancho Panza for the good experience.
