Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Utrecht City

Bernd Nowak

Extremely delicious, varied, and creative gluten-free food, highly recommended! Small plates for sharing

Emma Boercsoek

Amazing service, knowledgeable people about celiac. The food was also amazing and tasty. Fresh vegetables and falafels, can only recommend!!

Recently enjoyed a high tea here. Very tasty dishes and drinks. Was a bit afraid that the combination gluten-free and vegan (so no cheese) would be difficult for an omnivore with a cheese fetish, but that was not the case. Recommended!

Had dinner with 7 people. We were half an hour early, was no problem! Small cramped place where we were quite cramped at some tables pushed together. The gluten-free pizza was okay, the real pizzas were tasty, I have had much better tiramisu. The cocktails were unfortunately very sweet, not well balanced. Service was really great! It felt good and they kept everything top notch. Due to the crowds (perhaps?) very noisy and difficult to hear each other well. The extraction could be better because it smelled very much of food. The toilet was very dirty, I reported this to the staff.

Leon Zimmer

The food was very tasty. There is also the option to order gluten-free products. Extra care was taken here. Unfortunately I have to deduct a star because the gluten-free product I ordered was initially prepared incorrectly. It was never given to us but was told straight away and told that it would take longer because of it. So I really see it being handled very openly. It was still a bit annoying. But I can really recommend it without reservation!

Nice that they have gluten free bagels and even a date cake Drinks are very nice and the service is super friendly

Had lunch here for the first time today. Gluten-free food is possible here. Very nice place, tasty sandwiches and super friendly service!

Jurian Beeftink

Lovely staff, good food, good value for money. With top gluten free breakfast/lunch option

Romy

Super delicious food! The portions are certainly adequate and the price is also in proportion to what you receive. Big plus: gluten-free pancakes! It's fantastic that they take allergies into account The service is certainly friendly, just not chatty.

Hugo de Gooijer

Great food, gluten free pizza was good. It's a shame that he secretly tips 10% more

Emma Boltos

Delicious! Love that gluten free options are available!!

Naomi B

Excellent service and friendly staff. No problem accommodating four vegetarians including one coeliac. I'm told the GF bagel was delicious!

Kay Hebert

This coffee spot is incredibly cosy and beautiful. I had a delicious gluten-free cake and an oat milk cappuccino. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Alexandra Kalischewski

Yesterday I had lunch at Bagels & Beans. I give it two stars and that is purely due to the fact that my allergies were handled well. They have, like other locations, a clear allergy booklet and the staff took this seriously when taking the order. Compliments for that. Unfortunately, that is where the positive ends. I ordered a ham sandwich and a bagel with chocolate sprinkles. The bagel with chocolate sprinkles was fine, nothing to complain about. But the ham sandwich (gluten-free) was downright disappointing. As you can see in the photo, there was not even a full slice of ham on it – more like half – and the chives and tomato ketchup, which according to the menu should be on the bagel, were completely absent. When I mentioned this to the staff, I was told: “This is what we are allowed to put on the sandwich according to the protocol.” Sorry, but that is not an acceptable response. For €7.55 (including a surcharge for gluten-free bread) you can expect more than two slices of cheese, half a slice of ham, 1¼ slices of tomato and... nothing else. For someone with allergies it is nice that this is taken into account, but that does not justify the poor execution of a simple sandwich. I will not be coming back here anytime soon.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff who pay attention, large terrace with a nice lawn/trees in the background. Food was delicious and plenty of vegetarian dishes and options for gluten free, would definitely recommend

Kay Vossenaar

Monday evening we went to Utrecht on spec for a dinner for four. Once we arrived at Toque Toque, we decided to take a seat on the terrace. We were kindly helped, and there was 1 person with a gluten allergy, which was ultimately successful. I had salmon myself, which was well prepared with a tasty sauce and garnish. The other 3 decided to have salads, all were positive about the quality of the food. Staff was attentive and always arrived at our table on time. 1 small downside was that the red wine was sour and not sweet, so it was open for too long. This is easily solved by opening a new bottle at the table, having it tasted and poured. Positive experience, Thank you!

Sonja Z. Wiesner

Fantastic, cozy place with many gluten-free and vegan breakfast and brunch options. Very sweet and friendly staff. Fun drinks. I can highly recommend the Mushroom Soja Latte. Plant-based milks available are coconut, oat and soya. It’s a solid 5 star for people who eat gluten/ lactose free or vegan. The only thing I would wish for, would be lactose free cow milk. But this is hard to come by in any coffee shops in the Netherlands.

Bernd Nowak

Excellent glutenfree High-Tea, very friendly service

Thomas Vasse

Very nice atmosphere, very friendly to children and good food. Gluten-free was also possible and was great!

Rik Van Soest

Nice layout and decoration of the restaurant. Top location. Good food. Also with a gluten and lactose allergy enough choice. Waitress went to check the choice in the kitchen first but came back that it was possible. There was a lot possible she said in advance. Well helped.

Benjamin Hepplestone

Great location, friendly and helpful service and coeliac friendly with great gluten free options and surprisingly tasty GF bread. Multi-course set options also. The team are proud of, and pleased to describe the kitchen’s creations and they should be. Highly recommended.

Isabel Vermeulen

The service is incredibly slow. It all takes a very long time and you have to constantly approach people if you want to order something instead of them coming by regularly to check if everything is okay. It took 60 minutes from the moment we entered until we had food, that is really way too long (and then we had to approach the lady ourselves 3 times to order something). Food is fine, they can take gluten-free and lactose-free into account so that is nice.

Sonia Cozzoli

Very nice and welcoming place, friendly staff and good food. Gluten-free options available

Elke B.

I was actually expecting typical Dutch pancakes. What we got were American pancakes. And despite the savory topping, they were sweet. I had the salmon one, my friend the cheese one. I was able to order a lactose- and gluten-free pancake base. But I would have preferred them as sweet pancakes.

Eric Flagg

At first glance, Utrechter may seem like a touristy spot because of its name, but hey, are you a tourist? Then go here! Service was great, our server was personable and friendly and happy to give suggestions. We had a cheeseboard (w/bread, jam, cheese, marinated artichokes, etc) perfect if you don’t want to commit to a full meal and have a couple of drinks. They even had excellent gluten free bread for one our party. If you are gluten free you know how hard it is to find good bread at a restaurant. The gin and tonic cocktails were really excellent It wasn’t busy I assume because it’s not on the always busy Oude Gracht. Easy to get a table inside or outside. Great place to chill and eat and refresh without stress

Katie Rogerson

Really disappointed that there isn’t a gluten free pasta option. Easy enough, ok for the kids.

Sacha Smits

Rented a room here for 2 mornings with a group of colleagues. Including 2x lunch and 1x breakfast. Very well organised. They take everything into account. Gluten-free other dietary requirements. They coordinate well. Lunch is creative, tasty and healthy, extensive, fresh products. The breakfast was also delicious. The hospitality and service are fantastic. And the location, atmosphere, appearance very nice, living room atmosphere, friendly, inviting

Unfortunately an unimpressive experience; There wasn't much for me to discover here. 🪑 setting - a cozy and homely atmosphere. Lots of wood, and the theme is “travel” and the different parts of the world. Nice concept and nicely executed. We sat in the cellar, which was unfortunately a bit dark. If you are lucky enough to be on the ground or first floor, that is a nice place. 🧑‍🍳 service - was ok on first order and our drinks and food were brought quickly. After that, no one came by for an hour. We would have liked to order something. 🥗 food - unfortunately I had a mediocre experience with the camembert sandwich. The bread seemed to be two slices of “normal” supermarket bread that had not been buttered (as a good sandwich should be) and had not been clearly grilled. It was sparsely topped with thin slices of camembert, but not on the entire sandwich, so about 1/3 of the bread was bare. I also didn't think the red onion chutney was worth the name chutney. It looked more like a bowl of pickled onion pieces. I was unable to discover the walnut that is on the menu with this sandwich. Not worth repeating. There was also a fresh salad, which was tasty. 🍹 drinks - dirty chai was tasty and a nice large glass with a piece of chocolate. 🌱 Dietary needs - various vegan and vegetarian options, clearly indicated on the menu as well as gluten-free options. 🚽 facilities - neat toilet with facilities for babies. 💰 value - even though the prices are relatively friendly, I didn't think my sandwich was worth €8. I think this place is more fun to have a coffee with a piece of cake. I wouldn't recommend it explicitly for lunch.

Went to Ruby Rose for the first time last weekend. What an atmosphere! Really crazy. We were with a large group and sat upstairs, which was also a beautiful place to sit/see, but you were in the air conditioning so it was very cold. The food was tasty but a bit lacking. Especially with such a large group. The service was nice but generally quite ignorant. (We had someone with a gluten allergy and each and every one of them didn't know which one was without gluten. At one point we got 1 for a pregnant woman and we didn't have that one walking around) and because the restaurant was completely full it took forever before you could order something that had not been discussed in advance. Would I come back again? I don't think so for dinner, but certainly for a drink at the bar!

Martijn Willering

Delicious food, nice service and many options for someone on a gluten-free diet.

Sanne Lith

Such a cute small Vietnamese restaurant. They have really nice traditional Vietnamese dishes, but also offer great options for vegetarians, vegans, and gluten free allergies. This is scarce for Vietnamese restaurants! The Pho is really good, the curry however wasn’t my favorite. The deep fried ice cream is super good.

Isabel Bot

Fantastic dining experience richer after an evening at the Rum Club. The staff was so friendly and helpful, which was great for me with an intolerance to gluten, milk and egg. Really a lot on the menu was suitable for me to eat or could be adapted. We were here via Social Deal and had a fixed menu. A very tasty meal and ended with a dish of your choice from the menu: a delicious dessert. Cocktails were delicious too!

Shawnee

Gluten free salmon rolls were delicious!

Loes Mommen

We had a delicious, affordable lunch. Gluten-free is often difficult, so we always bring something for the youngest in the family. But it turns out they had bread for him so he could join in!

Pieter Schutz

Very tastefull and nice food. Great choice also for gluten free eaters

Natasha van den Ameele-Mullié

Delicious sweet potato soup for lunch, full flavour. Lots of choice on the menu, pleasantly busy, friendly service. Good vegetarian and gluten-free dishes, as well as animal dishes. Right in the center. And when you go down the stairs you enter a cozy living room with various seating areas.

Sarah Sturm

There are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options. However, it's NOT suitable for celiacs as the same pans are used, thus risking cross-contamination. But the seating by the canal is lovely, the staff is friendly, and the food is delicious.

ray vdbrink

Beautiful restaurant in the middle of the Grifpark. The menu included a delicious meal including pheasant breast in ham with sauerkraut stew. Was very tasty. Gluten-free was also no problem. Good service.

Maribel

One of the best places to try delicious tacos, if you are gluten intolerant they have many options, if you are vegan the same!! The most friendly staff!

The Bourques Abroad

We ventured over to the Sea Salt Saloon, in Utrecht, on a recommendation from a friend of a friend. She lives in Utrecht, and is quite the foodie, so we thought why not?! It was right around the corner from our hotel (which is only 2 minutes from the Dom Tower- great location!). We were there on a Thursday night and it was packed. We didn’t make a reservation so we were very lucky to snag the last available table inside (if you want to go there, make a reservation to be sure you get a table). The atmosphere was electrifying. Everyone was chatting away, laughing, and having a great time. The dim lights enhanced the vibe as the chefs behind the counter prepare dishes with great care. We started off with a bottle of wine. We got an English menu (yay!) so we sat and drooled over the many shareable options. We ordered two Oysters to start the meal and then decided on the Squid (baked in tomato- ginger sauce with pearl couscous, spring onion & parsley), Razor Clams (with garlic, almond flakes & herbal oil), and the Wild Argentine Gambas (unpeeled, with Spanish pepper and garlic parsley dip). We ended up getting an extra dish (the Sea Bass somehow ended up on our table and we ate it before we realized we didn’t in fact order it). We brought it up to the waiter and I don’t think he quite understood what happened. It was on the bill but we didn’t mind paying because it was DELICIOUS). The food was incredible. Everything was so fresh and had so many different flavours and aromas. The Razor Clams we’re my favourite. I don’t know if I’d order the gambas again, only because I hate having to peel them, but they were also very tasty. I’m glad we popped in and we’re able to get a table at the Sea Salt Salon. I was able to eat there without hesitation (tons of options without dairy or gluten) and I LOVE seafood. It wasn’t overly expensive, definitely not as cost effective as a greasy fish and chips meal, but 10/10 a better option if you can spend the money and have the time to sit and enjoy the meal.

So nice that they have gluten free bread 🍞

Jo-Anne van Gils

The nachos tasted good and they were very considerate about my gluten allergy. The service was also very nice. We will definitely come back to try some other things on the menu.

André Hattu

Nice interior, sometimes rush in service, menu great, but when mixed dietary nerds, like vegan plus gluten free then not many options a la carte. Great chef came in person, happy to prepare special tasty dishes accordingly.

Amy Guides by Amy McClain

I've been here several times at different times of day. Most recently, we enjoyed friendly, prompt service on a Sunday evening. While all other restaurants in Leidsche Rijn Centrum were closed earlier than usual, Buurten In De Bieb welcomed us willingly and offered us a relaxed environment in which to sip our drinks casually without feeling rushed. The menu is simple, yet tasty, with Gluten Free and Vegetarian options in addition to typical Dutch cuisine.

mies

Lots of delicious cakes, drinks and dishes that are suitable for people who prefer not to eat lactose or gluten :) I had the lime cake bar and it was really delicious! The interior is really cute and cozy and the staff is friendly and helpful. I think it is often quite busy, so sometimes ordering can take a little longer, but just let us know and they will come to you.

Had lunch here twice and had a delicious meal both times. It is a beautiful place on the edge of Utrecht, close to a large walking area. Very cool to walk around the building. It was nice that I could get gluten-free bread with my soup.

P.J. Loffeld

We had a lovely meal at Beers & Barrels – the food was really good and the atmosphere was cosy but not comparable to that of the old canal. However, there were also a few disappointments. I had contacted them in advance via email about my daughter’s gluten allergy. She was really looking forward to finally trying a gluten-free burger. The email confirmed that this was possible, but unfortunately this turned out not to be the case upon arrival. She was therefore quite disappointed. In addition, we had to wait a very long time for the desserts. It took so long that we eventually cancelled them and left without dessert. Too bad, because the start of the evening was promising. Hopefully, there will be better communication and faster service in the future.

Sterre Hurkens

Staff is professional, good and friendly. Gluten free options are great and make you feel like you are not missing out or that it is an extra effort. (That bread?! - so good!) Food was good, no fish or meat which I like but sometimes lacked some body. Highly recommended!
