Top 3 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in County Cork

Gemma Villorbina Noguera

A nice place to eat, with a gluten-free menu. Very attentive staff. Typical fish & ships

Holly Longstaffe

We had such a great meal and experience at Scoozi. The staff were fantastic and attentive and the food was delicious. I am coeliac and the gluten free pizza was incredible!!

Faye M

Gluten free bread,burger buns and desserts. Consistently perfect food, lots of options, very safe. The brunch and the vegan burgers are my favourite.

Aisling Healy

Food was delicious. They also have a coeliac menu with a number of gluten free options. I got the nachos which were a starter but the portion is very generous. Super delicious and highly recommend! Also the non alcoholic cocktails are delicious, especially 'strawberry fields'.

Alexis Bannerman

I had great a gluten free roast chicken lunch: every bit was delicious -seasoning and sauces were fab, and was part if a €10 lunch deal. Such good value, and staff were super nice

Lucia O'Donovan

Lovely spot upstairs for a vegetarian lunch with windows overlooking the river. Friendly staff and good for gluten free options too. Highly recommend it.

Dave Bunyan

Food and service are both impeccable here. They went above and beyond to cater for the celiac and birthday boy in our group.

Lauryn S

Best steak I’ve ever had! We went here recently while in Cork. First evening we had takeout fish and chips and it was divine. Delicious, crispy fish and best of all - gluten free! The next day we went in I got the steak - unbelievable!!!!! The service was brilliant too - very attentive but not ‘in your face’ either. I’ve told everyone about this place and will for sure be back whenever we’re down south again.

Jenny Mathewson

We had a lovely lunch here. I had the french toast, which I would highly recommend. Great selection of gluten-free options.

Janis

Fun pub, great gluten free options. Delicious meal priced right. Great friendly staff.

Christine Lee

Delicious food. Took an overall star away because while the main was delicious and well prices, I felt the desert was expensive and the brownie was too hot and cake-y. Excellent gluten free main options

Stephen Buckley

Wonderful, wonderful experience. I grew up in this area but haven't been back in years. This place just blew me away. Food was excellent! The decor is fabulous, a visual feast for the eyes. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Most impressive of all is their preparation and readiness to meet dietary needs such as gluten and dairy intolerance. My girlfriend is both. Most places we go to in Ireland will at best 'accomodate' dietary needs like this (for example, simply taking the cream out of a dish on the menu). It's always a stressor wondering if an eatery will actually properly prepare any dairy free or gluten free meals for her (preparing it separately from diary and gluten foods for example). The Wild Garlic are totally invested in meeting specific dietary needs. And it tastes great! My girlfriend ate the dairy and gluten free versions of dishes she's never eaten before! (Chowder for one). 11/10 would recommend and come here again. Foodies, for love of all that's tasty, I beg you, just go here, eat their incredible food, drink their fresh orange juice (or coffee) and support them and help this business thrive. We need more places like this at the heart of Irish communities ❤️

L. Dracks

Great place for lunch. The quality and taste of their food really amazed us. The staff was so kind and they've lots gluten free options. Thanks guys, you made our day.

Debbie Cooke

Amazing food perfect gluten free sandwiche so nice to have so much choice. Delicious 😋

Fiona O'Mahoney

What a lovely atmosphere even noticeable as you walk in. We went early as we went with the kiddies. The food was lovely. I had the buffalo mozzarella and then monkfish. Both gluten free. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

Aileen

This is my favourite café in Cork City. Their take away cups are compostable (so I bring them home and put them in my food waste bin), and they serve chai lattes. They have loyalty cards plus the staff are pleasant and friendly. I generally don't have to wait long to be served, especially if I'm there between 10.30 and 11 am. I think it's busier after 11 am. They have coeliac and vegetarian options as well as non-dairy milk, plus there's seating outdoors as well as indoors. Most of the time, they make a design like a swan on my chai latte which is a nice touch They've a decent range of sweet and savoury treats including sandwiches and scones but I've never tried them so I can't comment on how tasty they are. My only complaint is that the chairs indoors are more like stools as they have a very low back and they're not that comfortable. The location of Nectar is nice and central also. Price-wise, I'd say it's about average

Aoife Fisher

Two celiacs and a vegetarian went here. The food was very quick and very yummy and accommodated our dietary restrictions. The manager was so nice and made sure we found things we could eat and enjoyed what we had. He was also funny and made us giggle while ordering. Overall immaculate atmosphere and perfect place for a quick bite.

zoei murphy

Great size gluten free portions

Annie Harrington

Lovely coffee ☕ shop, fabulous tasty sandwiches and salads - extremely fresh and tasty. Great range of gluten free bread.

Natalia Santoro

Excellent food, lots of options for celiac and great service. The hake was divine and so was the salmon dish. Cosy atmosphere and well decorated restaurant.

Mary O sullivan

Has a very good gluten free menu excellent staff. All there food was very tasty. Would go there again.

Agnes Lucas

Food was nice but gluten free option not a great choice also tea should be offered in the breakfast menu in kids choice

Shawn Playford

Their gluten free bread was old and stale. The peanut butter latte was nothing to write home about. The sandwiches were good. The grilled ham and cheese was amazing.

Ciaran Looney

The food here is exceptional and I’m particular being a celiac Get here !!! It’s a treat

Cassidy Fleming

Yummy food, would you believe that this fried chicken burger is completely gluten free? Cause it is! They have a separate GF batter and even frier, and they fry their chips separate too. GF bun was light and fluffy, and chips were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Bravo!

Danielle

This a gluten free review. Myo was great! This cafe has some sweet and savoury options.The savory options are things like quiche and the sweet options are things like a apple berry crumble which was amazing. The staff are lovely and really willing to take the time to read into things like the oat milk for you (which has previously cross contaminated me in other venues, it's not GF but still nice that they looked while the queue was growing), or if the crumble touched off something by accident they would catch that immediately and give you another slice (even though I stupidly said oh I'll eat it anyway! I'm still getting used to advocating for my dietary requirements). It's a small cafe so options are limited of course, but it's a beautiful cafe next to the river and with lovely staff and at least your not paying for a whole restaurant. I've found it hard finding cafes in the city as opposed to restaurants to cater to GF. I'd definitely recommend here. They have some stone tables along the river with chess tables carved in and the cafe will loan you the chess pieces. It's a nice chill evening and no worries about being glutened.

pretty grumpy

Very tasty food if your not gluten free

Noreen O' Connor

Sofia

Amazing pasta GF coeliac friendly, the staff is nice and well knowledgeable about GF food specials procedures

Bernadette O Flynn

I has the pleasure of having a meal in this beautiful establishment recently and it was delicious. As I am coeliac I was catered for very well, most dishes if not all were adaptable. Lovely atmosphere and great servers. Warm. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Jennifer Gazzillo

One of our favorite meals in our entire time spent in Ireland! We would come back to Cork just to dine here again. The food was excellent, drinks were delicious, and they were more than able to accommodate my Vegan and Gluten free needs due to allergies. Orso is an absolute MUST if you are in or nearby Cork.

Faye M

Not only did they make me very sick by bringing me food with gluten on it when it was marked gf on the menu and I told them I was coeliac, but they were the rudest about it that any restaurant has been to me in my 15 years of being coeliac. I would never eat here again.

monica moriarty

Lovely girl served us, very pleasant and quick. We sat outside afterwards and the owner gave us cushions to sit on. The desert menu was very good with gluten free options. It was full when we went in but we soon got a table.

Alexander T.

Actually we “just” wanted to go to Mizen Head. Thanks to a tip from an Irish woman, we took the risk of taking this detour and were not disappointed. We took the perfect break here in sunshine and wind. Seafood chowder and gluten-free beer while watching the hustle and bustle. What more could you want...

LauraEmily K

Thoughtfully created seasonal menu in a beautiful oasis in the city. I was a little hesitant to eat strawberries withpesto on toast.. but it works! Absolutely would return here. Vegan, celiacs catered to.

Ed Walsh

Went here for lunch while driving through Kinsale. Their gluten free fish and chips were delicious and the chowder was the best I've ever had. Great restaurant for people with Celiac.

Charlene Hurley

Great food always cooked fresh. Lovely menu! Good gluten free options

Tara Power

Honestly couldn't be better !! The staff took our booking on very short notice (twenty minutes! ) we were a large group (35 people) Great selection on the menu which catered for the coeliacs, vegetarians and vegans of the group also .The food was delicious and the staff were not only efficient but so helpful and friendly. We were made feel very welcome and the restaurant and restrooms were spotlessly clean and modern.

Kevin Jesser

It was good because I found many gluten-free options. I didn't like the service because we ate there but we received the coffee and the pastries to take away, it's a small thing but for me is important, if you eat in you should receive your coffee in a cup and your pastries on a plate. The coffee and the pastries were delicious.

Eimear O'Loughlin

Ate at the cornstore for valentines. It was so delicious, service was great, and the set menu had a great range of food to choose with lots of gluten free options.

Silvia-Maria Crowley

Lab 82 is such a nice quirky cafe. It is different in terms of decor and even menu choices- a must visit if you like ducks! Vegan, vegetarian and coeliac friendly this cafe has a wide variety of food options for you to choose from. I recommend the sausage rolls or of course the classic pancakes. Kinder Bueno pancakes are my favourite but the Oreo pancakes are also to die for. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and so helpful! This cafe is such a find - well worth the trip and if you are visiting Cork I definitely recommend a visit here for brunch or lunch! On weekends during peak time you may have to wait 10 mins or so for a table but that is only a testament to how popular the place is. The food is well worth the wait I assure you! I also recommend the potatoes and the chai latte or dirty chai if you need the caffeine.

Bill Murray

Bright, clean and welcoming interior with street side seating also available. Had the Buddah bowl, a rambunctious feast of flavour dancing off my tongue with every bite from every corner of my bowl, and so healthy. Nice variety of delicious cakes available too, had Tunisian orange cake, delicious dense texture-possibly gluten free, only criticism would be the accompanying cream which seemed a bit too airy. Well worth stopping by here for quality food. Service was prompt, friendly and attentive.

Eimear Murphy

Ate here multiple times, so far it never fails! They're very good to tell you if you can have stuff based off coeliac friendly and good to accommodate. Highly recommend!!

William O Keefffe

Great spot for a sandwich and a coffee in an interesting place, that do gluten free as well

laura o sullivan

Amazing sandwiches and gluten free options - staff always double check when taking coeliac friendly orders

Neal Kranes

I ate here with my wife today and she has celiac disease and we were very clear about that. She was excited that they had gluten free bagel and ordered one. It arrived looking very much the same as mine and we asked for confirmation from the waitress twice. It turns out it was just the "brown bagel" and she is is now quite sick. Not taking food allergies seriously is pretty egregious. People with allergies beware.

Charlene Hurley

Lovely setting, great food! Fab gluten free pancakes.

Orla Daly

Great chips and they are gluten free
