Holly, our server, was lovely and helpful, her attitude really elevated our experience today. I got gluten free food that was delicious. My friend and I got a selection of starters to share, all gluten free and all them were good. There was not a single item I don’t get again. We got mushroom Al forno, caprese salad, mozzarella garlic bread, king prawns, and a strawberry lemonade each.

A Must-Visit Gem in Chester!
We had an incredible experience at Shrub Chester. The food was absolutely stunning — packed with flavour, beautifully presented, and with a creative vegan menu that really stands out. It was fantastic to see such a great range of gluten- and dairy-free options available too, catering brilliantly to dietary needs without compromising on taste.
A special mention to Charlotte, whose warmth and hospitality made our visit even more memorable. She was attentive, friendly, and truly added a personal touch to our evening.
We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Chester — highly recommended!

Second time I've been here, the first was for dinner and the place was too loud to hear each other talk easily. This time we went for lunch because the menu looked really good and they have plenty of gluten free options.
Food was good, we had smash burgers, a little pricey for the size of the burger, but tasted good.
The main issue was how long it took to get the bill and then hours long it took to pay. We asked 3 different staff members for the bill before it finally arrived and guess what... 10% discretionary service added. I really do not like being forced to tip in a country that has minimum wage, no other minimum wage jobs get tips so I'm not sure why waiters believe they are special (I've been one, it's not hard).
Needless to say I and asked for this to be removed following the poor service and this then required a manager to sort out!
This spot offers a cosy, authentic French ambiance with a welcoming atmosphere, making it a lovely restaurant for those seeking gluten-free dining. The attentive staff and clean, inviting setting enhance the experience, supporting guests with gluten allergies thoughtfully.

I had breakfast here today and was delighted by the experience. I ate the Garden breakfast and my wife had the Cote breakfast but gluten free. We both had a side of the black pudding (Boudin Noir).
On the face of it you would easily be misled into thinking the Cote breakfast is essentially a full English, however everything has a lovely French twist to it.
I would highly recommend having the black pudding - it's sweeter and softer than English black pudding. I love both, but this is very different and very delicious.
The fresh orange juice was delicious and good quality and the coffees were great bean to cup with a good strength.
We will definitely be coming back for dinner some time.
Chic café with gluten-free cakes and plant-based menu in a cozy, softly lit setting.

Love this place, the decor and the vibe are very on trend. Bench seating and plenty of it
I had the seasonal porridge which was delicious and a huge portion that kept me full all day,
The best oat flat white I’ve ever had, all the staff I interacted with were friendly and very good at their job.
Didn’t have a cake, but they looked great, not sure if there were many gluten free cakes.
The only thing I noticed that others might not like, if you’re not a regular you might not notice this place is entirely plant based, and something like a chicken club could be mis leading as it doesn’t say “chicken substitute or something on the menu”
This cozy spot features a lovely courtyard garden and a welcoming atmosphere, enhanced by attentive, friendly staff who are especially helpful with gluten-free options. The setting offers a comfortable, safe dining experience for those seeking gluten-free accommodations.

We came here today for lunch as we have done many times before only to find that they have decided to put MILK POWDER in the mash potatoe ( and before you say it has always had been this way IT HAS NOT) as we've been in many around the country and they all had vegan mash potatoe
We are NOT vegan we are celiac with a dairy allergy
This made it that 2 slices of meat and a spoon of cabbage and carrots doesnt make this good value for money ( they did promise other vegetables but they never arrived)
As a result we have cancelled our booking for mothers day as a mother should be able eat a decent meal on mothers day

Best gluten free Bistro in Chester. Vegetarian Brunch is second to none and so is their coffee - would give more than five stars. Food, service, atmosphere and prices all excellent. Myself and another member of my party have Coeliac Condition we were both catered for amazingly with no cross contamination issues - the thick slice of toast was also a real treat.
Nestled on the riverfront with a converted old barge deck, this spot offers plentiful outdoor seating with stunning river views.

Cute place for lunch. We had really friendly and efficient service. Ordered a falafel salad which was very filling (also, the only gluten free option on the menu, but with varying protein options). Also ordered a wrap and sweet potato fries which were delicious! Crispy & perfectly done.
Also had a yummy fresh juice!
There's limited space to eat inside.

Visited on the day of the Chester Marathon around 12ish so may have been busier than usual. It's very small inside so get's very busy as there are only a few tables. It felt a little uncomfortable trying to sit and eat when there was a queue of people snaking out of the door, standing over you as they're waiting to order.
We ordered a baked potato, hot sandwich and two baps and hot drinks. Took a little while to bring the drinks to us but we could tell they were very busy, to the point of being inundated with orders. The waitress did apologise for the wait, even offering to remake the drinks if they were not hot enough but they were fine, especially the cappuccino which was lovely. Food was nice and happy to see gluten free options on the menu. Would return.
This spot offers a fantastic atmosphere with a welcoming setting ideal for families and individuals with gluten-free needs. The helpful and friendly staff ensure a smooth experience, making it a trusted choice for coeliac guests seeking a comfortable dining environment.

Very Disappointing!!
Arrived for brunch with my wife who is coeliac so GF is essential.
My wife ordered a meal off the menu which was identified as GF.... vegetarian haggis with tomato, hash brown, egg, beans, mushrooms and a slice of GF bread.
Meal arrived without the haggis. No mention of this from the staff, it took my wife to ask why there was no haggis. ... the main item of the meal. She was told it was because they couldn't guarantee it was GF. No mention of this when I ordered and full price charged and paid. Borderline scandalous.
Needless to say, won't be going back.
Step into a space where warm, exotic décor and colorful murals create a mini holiday atmosphere with a calm, inviting vibe. The friendly staff ensure a welcoming experience, complemented by a setting that suits those seeking gluten-free and vegetarian options.

A total gem on the Rows of Chester. I have visited Pars Kahve for coffee and for food and both times experienced great service and outstanding food. The family here really know how to ensure you experience the right tastes for you and offer a great gluten free range which was important to a party member on my most recent visit. Well priced drinks and food, a menu bursting with great flavour and friendly staff. What more could you want. Can’t wait to go again.
