Top 2 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots Across Northern Ireland

Patricia Rodrigues

This was an awesome place!! The waiter was super educated regarding celiac restrictions, he was able to mark everything on the menu that we could or not eat and tell us all the changes they could make. Food was excellent and overall a great experience.

On the plus side, it has a separate menu for both gluten-free and vegetarian options, which is a real plus. The reason I'm not giving it more stars is because the waitresses aren't very friendly and the place is smoky, leaving the (unpleasant) smell on your clothes. On the other hand, the gluten-free noodle dish didn't contain any noodles, and the menu didn't mention it.

Island Canuck

Wonderful gluten free delights served up by lovely people. The scones were magnificent and unlike any GF product we’ve tasted anywhere. Truly amazing!!! The sausage rolls were incredible - flaky pastry and beautifully seasoned sausage filling. I will be consuming numerous more of these babies in the next weeks before returning to Canada!! Don’t miss this place. It’s a gem!!

Hannah Young

Pizza was pretty good! The pepperoni was very thick (not my preference, but may be for others). Their gluten free crust was good. Service was kind.

Tony Saikley

Right next door to the Ulister Hall, this chic and hip cafe is eye-catching and attention getting right from the outside glass windows to all the art walls. The service was great. The staff was friendly and the gluten-free scone, which we couldn't find anywhere else in all of Ireland, was delicious. It's baked fresh daily on-site and comes with jam and clotted cream.

Heidi Hurst

Very comprehensive gluten free menu, including tobacco onions, gluten free wraps, gravy, etc. They even have a dedicated fryer for gf chips and will prepare gf burgers separately to avoid cross contamination. Staff were very knowledgeable about allergens - I really appreciated it! Mulled wine was an extra delight. Would definitely be back!

Lauren Kane

I never normally leave a review for anywhere but I am obsessed with this place 😍!For so many reasons, I am coeliac and have dined breakfast lunch brunch and dinner and the options are amazing and delicious.The staff are superb so so kind so knowledgeable and lovely girl even reassured me that they use separate everything to make my meal and hoped I wouldn’t be worried ! I have been coeliac for 10 and a half years and never have I had so much reassurance from somewhere which is amazing as I feel so normal and relaxed which is rare when going out to eat with an allergy .The food is lovely so much choice which again is rare ! And it’s cheap what more could you want . This location is my favourite in Belfast as I have been to another one but the staff weren’t the same couldn’t recommend more ❤️

Adéla Vagová

This is my all time favorite for gluten free breakfast in Belfast. Their vegan gluten free fry is delicious and super filling. I have gluten and dairy allergies and this place caters for both, 10/10.

Ashlinn Leyden

Loved the vibe,really friendly staff,a good kids menu,great low gluten menu, and regular menu.

Alanna Rowntree

Really the best Gluten Free fish and chips ever. Such a cosy, nostalgic wee spot and the food is so delicious. Can't rate it enough.

Mark Godson

Excellent burger/chicken/nachos style restaurant with plenty of parking. A full gluten-free menu, which was also delicious and served beautifully and quickly. Highly recommended.

Lou McSheffrey

Excellent choices especially the Gluten Free options with products from Campbells Bakery in Dundonald. Food was cooked to order and was hot and fresh.

Sophie Hamonda

The best gluten free fish and chips in Northern Ireland !! Delicious and generous portions 🤩 Staff all very friendly and helpful . Will deffo return on our next visit to the area !!

Claire Weston

We didn't have a reservation, but they still seated us on a Friday evening. The food was good- gluten free options were excellent and all clearly marked in the menu- but the real stars were the staff. They were incredibly kind, accommodating, and friendly. Service deserves more than 5 stars. We will definitely go back!

Agnieszka Maj-Pelczar

Erika Vansevičiūtė

Super pleasant staff. Gluten free options and great great food!!! Really enjoyed it!

kathryn Hashim

Very impressed with the selection of gluten free meals available.

Mark Strange

Staying in Newcastle and we looked for a coeliac friendly takeaway and found The Galley. Staff could not have been more helpful in making sure our order was perfect and went above and beyond. Got two gluten free goujon meals and the food was incredible, the best gluten free chippy we've ever had with lovely gravy to go with it. Could not recommend more

Trisha Robinson

Beautiful meal and very attentive staff even the chef checked my meal was OK for me as I'm gluten free. Very good food and quality. Portions for even the biggest appetite can't wait to return

Ana Betti Thompson

i said i was gluten intolerant from the moment i walked in, when i ordered my food and asked if the soup was gluten free it seemed majorly out of the servers way to do that for me, she said she’d ask. She never came back, ordered the soup and fries i asked for, not letting me know if they were gluten free or not. had to ask a different server to go and check twice about the fries and soup, after they had arrived. I wasn’t given the soup options it was chosen for me, again not knowing at this point if it was gluten free. I didn’t feel that welcome by who was serving me and i’m pretty sure i was over charged. Everyone else lovely and lovely cafe but i didn’t enjoy my time there.

Sophie M

Amazing food with the best gluten-free menu I've ever come across.

Marjorie Ard

Lovely breakfast, we were not rushed! We were sitting and chatting long enough to allow us cake and coffee to follow. Gluten Free option very impressive .

Cecelia Dodge

If you are vegetarian or gluten free or both, like me, this is a great option for you in Bushmills. We got takeout for breakfast and came back and dined in for lunch! A man who seemed to be in charge was very attentive to answering my menu questions. For lunch I had the melted goat cheese sandwich on delicious GF bread- washed down with a GF beer. My husband had a seafood salad And my grandson had the smash burger. We all enjoyed our meals.

Rosemary

I used to love this place but now it's off my favourites in Lisburn. They offer gluten free bread but fillings are very limited. They charge you extra for additional fillings even when you have to swap because it's not gluten free. They used to have many gluten and dairy free options not any more. Everyone loves to accommodate vegans but not people with actual dietary problems.

Calum Chapman

My favourite cafe in Lisburn by far! So much choice on the menu. Everything is made fresh and so many healthy and gluten free options which is a bonus! Coffee is the best ive had in Lisburn too. The staff are all so lovely and helpful. A hidden gem.

Patrick Fleming

Great place with fish and chips and gluten free options.

Tim Neill

10/10 experience every time. Great Gluten Free options too, both meals and sweet treats. Staff are so friendly!

Courtney Houston

Can't fault anything at Hullabaloos. Staff were super friendly with quick service and food was amazing and big portioned. As a cealiac I struggle sometimes to find places that cater for my dietary requirements but the woman who seated us explained the items on the menu that were Gluten free and explained the different dishes that could be alternated to be gluten free, she was so helpful. There was plenty of options for me to choose from.

Kayla DeAnn

This was such a great find in this beautiful Irish town. I am Celiac and had no trouble eating here. They were aware of the necessary precautions and even used separate gloves and stations. I had the bacon, goat cheese toastie with the jalapeño chutney and their house-made slaw. I ate every bite because it was so delicious. I also go the gf chocolate caramel bar and a vanilla matcha latte.

James Brown

My wife decided to go to Frankie & Benny's after shopping. She had been when they first opened a long time ago. The food pricing on the menu seemed fair, considering costs at other vendors. However when the food arrived, it was a culture shock, it was frozen skinny fries out of a packet, frozen onion rings out of a packet. My son's burger is from the gluten free menu, so I understand how difficult it, but it was also a frozen burger pattie, in a frozen bun. Honestly the only thing that I'm thinking had any technical attachment was the chicken melts with cheese & bacon, unfortunately it was cooked that long it was like nawing beef jerky. Avoid like the plaque, don't waste your money, almost £50, for this food from the 90's, disgraceful even charging for this kind of food. My advice is get a proper chef. Someone who takes a bit of pride in there cookery skills & knowledge.

Chloe W

Portion sizes are more than generous and food is prepared to a very high standard. Nicest breakfast we've had in a long time and they cater to gluten-free requirements. The nicest GF scone I've had. All staff were a pleasure to deal with but Josephine in particular was so attentive and ensured we had refills on our tea ❤️

Paul Johnston

Shared a meal with my daughter who is gluten and dairy intolerant. Staff very helpful and well prepped with a separate menu created by the chef who himself is gluten intolerant. I had the penne pasta chilli chicken which was beautiful and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed her gluten free burger and chips. Now at the top of our list to visit when we meet up.

Louise Wilson

Beautiful Sunday lunch, very generous portions, catered for gluten free

Esther Sands

I absolutely love Time Coffee House. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere is so warm and relaxed. And the food... OH MY LIFE!! They have an amazing gluten free menu with plenty of options (which is difficult to find!!) 10/10 all round. 😍

Blánaid Canavan

Amazing! Gorgeous country house, white. Beautiful food, big helpings, staff friendly. I got a rose latte! Tasted like a bed of roses. Great gluten free options, I got halloumi stack with lots of halloumi. Delightful place

Jenn M

The most delightful cafe with some outdoor seating in shade. Lovely coffee and the moat delicious banana bread ever. And it's gluten free ! Fast service.

patrick mcnamee

Everything about the place is beautiful...food, staff and the scenery... Particularly good for coeliacs, highly recommended

ian H

Great selection of delicious, gluten free goodies. I'm not following a gluten free diet but still really enjoyed the buns however they were slightly dry and crumbly compared to my favorite regularly baked goodies. Great, friendly and helpful service from the server. Mainly a take out however there are a couple of tables.

Norman Smith

Went for lunch with my daughter, a good selection of vegetarian, gluten free and standard food.

Billy McKay

Love this coffee shop! Lovely staff and great drinks as well as gluten free options IE sandwich and tray bakes.

Catharine Warnock

Highly recommended The Yellow Bird, great gluten free options and the food is delicious. The staff always meet you with a smile and are very helpful.

mama mcbride

Great gluten free food. Friendly and helpful service..

Allison McKelvey

I'm coeliac and their gluten free pancakes were delicious. They have a great gluten free menu!

Peter Holloway

Not advertised as gluten free, but we had a fantastic gf Irish stew. Plenty of gf tray bakes too. Would come again.

Ben Hegan

I had the pleasure of having dinner here last Saturday (May 2025) with a few friends. We were surprised at how quiet it was at around 5:45 on a Saturday. I appreciated the open and bright atmosphere and friendly staff. I was impressed by the variety on offer on the menu and chose the Canadian burger which was excellent. The food came within 15 minutes of ordering, which is ideal. My friend is gluten free and he was very well catered for and there was no gluten in the food, which is very important. The staff were very careful with the GF requirements of my friend. We didn't have a desert as the mains were so filling but they sounded great. It is easy to get to and the prices are very reasonable. This has become a go-to restaurant for me in the area! Highly recommended!

Sofía A.

It's highly recommended if you're traveling, as the kitchen is open almost all day. It has a considerable amount of vegetarian and gluten-free food, which is appreciated.

David Smith

What a great place. The decorations are just fab tables n the ceiling, beds on walls, tires in toilets. Excellent decor indeed Gluten free menu is good but no other allergies listed. Dedicated fryer for fries. Vinegar is nit gf. Had the curry which was good chip shop curry sauce Felt very safe for coeliacs

Amy McMullen

Amazing food & service every time here! Delicious menu with great options and a willingness to make adjustments for various dietary requirements, including veggie, gluten-free, and with a dedicated vegan menu. And also picture-perfect presentation! Upbeat, friendly atmosphere, tunes on the go, and if you're lucky, you might have a wee doggie seated nearby! The effort that goes into this place is evident and I'm pretty certain that anyone who gives it a try soon becomes a regular.
