Top 23 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Edinburgh

Claire Graham

Lovely and amazing selection but wow, were they sweet, even my kids didn’t eat much. Was gutted to miss the doughnuts, apparently you have to get there early. The sausage rolls were amazing, closest thing I’ve had to a normal one in 20years plus.

Katie Shepherd

Amazing GF pizza

Olivia C

Great GF options, I came here twice for dinner during my stay in Edinburgh! Fun lively atmosphere and very reasonably priced.

Paul Steinmann

Super friendly service, very delicious sandwiches, most dishes available gf. Gluten free. Also a quiter place, a bit out of the touristic zones. We have been here every day we spend in edinburgh! ... okay, 2 days, so only twice, but still !

Olivia C

The service here is incredible and the staff are very knowledgeable on gluten free meals and how they adapt their menu to fit GF needs. If we were staying longer I’d be back here for breakfast again!

Erin Whalen

Unfortunately I just ate there and got glutened by their food. The poutine even though they said it was Celiac safe unfortunately was not.

Martin Barnes

Great gluten free menu

Jessie

Stopped in for a quick bite before a day of exploring and we’re glad we did! Delicious and filling comfort food. Several gluten free and/or veggie options. Friendly service and pretty quick considering how busy the place was. Always a great location. All around very pleased!

Julia Villoldo

We ate very well. One of us is celiac, and the pizza was delicious. They were very attentive to our tastes. Our waitress, Maria, was very attentive and helpful. My only complaint is that the tables are very close together.

Kane Sainsbury

A hyped up place on lots of GF/DF Edinburgh blogs. The staff were friendly and accommodating, Coffe was good, but sadly not a great review from me. Party of 4, prebooked. We arrived hoping for some yummy or interesting breakfasts as the menu seemed to promise. Their gluten free options were limited and the bread served was horrendous quality, not even toasted or buttered?! We paid between £11 and £17 a head. The food was mediocre at best. Would've liked to try the french toast as that looked and smelt amazing!...but it is only available with dairy. Poached eggs tasted of vinegar. I would not recommend the items we chose: za'atar spiced scrambled eggs on toast with spicy hollandaise, fresh coriander & jalapeno salsa - very meh and surprisingly flavourless. poached eggs on toast, + mushrooms + gf bread - tiny mushrooms grilled into oblivion, possibly the worst gf bread ever, untoasted and unbuttered. hummus on sourdough toast with cherry tomatoes, pickled shallots, za'atar, salda verde, capers & crispy chickpeas - the most interesting of all that we ordered, but really needed more salt! Anyone else of hummus being the go-to for vegans?

Victor Desmet

Would certainly recommend this place! Amazing for breakfast and brunch/lunch. I had the Scottish salmon toast, and my gluten intolerant and dairy free friend had the best pancakes. There were a lot of other Gluten free options available! Sweet staff and quick service even though it was quite busy!

Kat V

Will proactively ask about allergies etc. Felt very well taken care of. Food tasted amazing

Stacy Heller

We were in the neighborhood doing some shopping and one of the shoppes mentioned Côte. It was nearby and we walked in during a busy lunch time. The accommodated us very nicely considering we didn’t have a reservation. I adore French food but never get to go when dining with my daughter who is gluten and dairy free. However, they had so many items to choose from for her. The food was outstanding!!! Cannot wait to go back.

Natalia Fernandez Caja

The food is incredible, you can tell they are Italian. They have gluten-free pasta options although there isn't much to choose from. It comes in a VERY small quantity for the price, but it is very very delicious for a treat-meal.

Jannicke Røseng

Very nice food! I apprechiate that the menu is marked with what is gluten free. Had the chicken skewers, very big portion and everything was tasty. I am a sensitive celiac, had no ill effects after the meal.

Meriel Graham

Fantastic breakfast. Had the gluten free option of the full breakfast. Would highly recommend!

Orla McGrath

Had a great experience with hen party of 12 at this restaurant this weekend, food and drinks lovely and there was something for everyone, they had no problems advising on gluten free substitution last minute, 3 course group menu value for money and atmosphere was lovely, buzzing and we could chat freely. Easy to book and deposit was taken off bill as advised. Thank you very much

Kane Sainsbury

We came here for the final breakfast of a mini break. We were sent over from scran who recommended Hula for allergens. The breakfasts were overpriced and painfully mediocre. I massively resented paying £40 for 2 blah coffees, and 2 plates of avocado toast, one of which was on the crapest gluten free bread available. Sorry Hula, maybe we ordered wrong but really not worth it.

Elena

Tasty lunch with high quality ingredients! The staff was very kind and available for clarifications. I confirm that they have a menu with gluten free options and are very careful about contamination. Central location, reservations recommended because it is a highly sought-after restaurant! You can choose meat or fish courses and interesting typical Scottish dishes

Rebecca Henry

Three Birds was a phenomenal dining experience. I am recently coeliac and being able to dine here with no worries or doubts about what I was eating was great. The service and atmosphere of the staff was brilliant. Everybody was so friendly and bubbly. The pistachio and feta dip WAS TO DIE FOR 100/10. Would fly back to Scotland solely to experience it again. The chicken supreme was cooked to perfection. Have no doubts when booking this place it is absolutely perfect for a chilled, good atmospheric, and tastiest food ever. Would recommend to every friend and family I have!! Will come back again when I return to Scotland!!!

Toria Petrie-Armstrong

Amazing service from the minute we arrived and even a joke with one of the servers as we were leaving 😊 The food options are varied and I did have slight food envy of the table beside me. However my food was amazing, perfect flavour and good quantities. One of friends is a coaliac and there is a separate gluten free menu and they have separate cooking utensils etc in the kitchen to make sure there is no contamination. My other friend is a vegetarian and she liked that there are vegetarian options and vegan options. All in, this is one of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh

L.

Very tasty food, also a special menu for gluten-free dishes. The friendly staff pointed out possible cross-contamination due to the small kitchen. Highly recommended.

Briony Stewart

Food is amazing as are the staff!! Highly recommend!

Richard Coffey

Very nice dining atmosphere at this venue and there was an acoustic music gig as well on Halloween. There's a gluten free menu too which is great. Overall, the service was very friendly, especially from Mallory the waitress who served me. The shop could be stocked with a wider variety of souvenir items though.

Elena

Recommended place to eat excellent sweet and savory pancakes. They offer different types of dough, including low fat and gluten free (very careful about contamination). Cute place!

Kiana Rome

We had a lovely time. Tanya was amazing and attentive! Love the gluten free friendly pasta!

Sam Stone

Came to this lovely place with some friends who lived nearby and recommended it. Really lovely big open room with loads of windows that look out onto the sea. Very good menu of breakfast/lunch/treat options. Their cake displays by the entrance have an amazing range of different items (including lots that are gluten free/vegan) I had a piece of the carrot cake which was amazing. Not only the best carrot cake I've ever had but also one of the best cakes too. The texture of the cake was perfect and the flavours of the carrot and different spices was also really really good. My wife had a bacon roll which was very nice. Perfectly cooked bacon on a really lovely roll. The staff were all really lovely as well. Our friends had their baby with them so we spent a really long time ordering/eating/cleaning up afterwards and we didn't feel rushed at all (despite an endless queue of people waiting to be seated) We also got some extra carrot cake and other treats to take away which were also really good (Tip - cheaper price of you buy the cakes to take away) Highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back next time we are in the area

Helen Menmuir

First time here for a birthday lunch, great food and the staff were helpful and very good with my needs as a gluten intolerant

Adrián Hurtado

What a lovely place! Great fopd, very very tasted. The soap tasted very good and the mushroom burger was delicious. They have gluten free options.

Robert Whitford

This place is amazing! The haggis is so delicious. A whiskey sauce that isn't only about the whiskey. Such friendly and knowledgeable staff. Nearly everything has a gluten free, veg, or vegan option. Absolutely a must.

diane mchutchison

I am not a vegetarian, but was traveling with a friend who is both gluten-free and a vegetarian. I would go back to David Bann on my own, so delicious was my pea, mint, basil pudding. The service was impeccable, attentive but not hovering. We enjoyed a leisurely meal, and left with that warm glow of a great meal.

Daniel Mcshane

very nice and cosy, delicious sandwiches! I'm gluten free, and both their gf bagels and their soups were amazing!

Donna Avery

Loved this surprise find! Stumbled in here looking for something warm to drink and got this mulled wine and gluten free carrot cake.

Jamie de Bie

Pricey but food is great and very coeliac aware.

Heidi Israelsen

Wonderful full Scottish Breakfast and Eggs Benedict. They separated out the gluten items for me and even brought us free sodas for the kids. Amazing service and delicious food!

RM Retro

Enjoyed a lovely lunch today with my Wife, it was delicious as always and cooked to perfection. Our Server today was Simon, and we must give special thanks to him for his exceptional service being particularly helpful and careful regarding my wife's Gluten Allergy: thank you M&C and extra thanks to you Simon.

Rebecca Robinson

Ah Dishoom! We had a business brunch meeting, not our first, we love this place in the mornings. Bottomless chai and chocolate chai just keep appearing at your elbow, staff are so good. Other coffees and teas also excellent. I'm gluten free so the granola bowl is perfect - granola, vanilla yogurt and colourful fresh fruit always make me so happy. Everyone else went for wraps or the omelette or the bottomless porridge - something for everyone including the dairy-free folk too. We'll be back. Set over three floors, but very popular so do book

Harry W

Incredible food and great service. Picked it out because I needed somewhere that did good gluten free and lactose intolerant food - as soon as we walked in they handed us a special allergen menu with all the gluten items removed. All the food was great (recommend lots of sharing plates - Street food or classics) but the honey shredded pork soft tacos were mindblowing. Good cocktails too, really fast and friendly service, and reasonable prices!

Mikel Revilla

A fantastic place for a cold day, I recommend it 100%. I am also celiac and they have very good control over the gluten issue.

Giovanna Tacchini

Amazing place for spanish food and full of gluten free options!

Franziska Stefan

Lovely cafe with a lot of gluten-free options and the cake was amazing. Very busy on the weekend though.

Charlotte Lunn

The food here is really good. Excellent gluten free selection and a great atmosphere. One thing to watch out for is that the place is cash-free so you have to pay by card, and if you don't specifically ask the waiter you might not get the chance to tip. Would absolutely come here again

Jason (Eris)

Having been here twice now, I can say that this is one of the nicest cafés in Edinburgh! The food was absolutely delicious, and I love that there's gluten free and vegan options available! I will definitely be back here again :)

Jon H

My partner is a coeliac and she's also currently feeding our 2 month old who seems to have a cows milk protein allergy at the moment. We're not the easiest to cater for at the moment, but we were really really well looked after. They checked everything carefully and the chef was made aware. The food was absolutely flipping amazing. I had a Jai and saag aloo myself and it was phenomenal. I'll definitely be going back! Thank you for looking after us.

Dave Tucker

Good place to visit for burgers, excellent choices and tater tots as a side are great. The rear dining space is impressive but very large & only half full on our visit so there was very little atmosphere. They offer gluten free burgers which are good but half the size of the non-GF equivalent.

Ignacio Marin

Adapted gluten-free breakfasts, without contamination. They give you gluten-free bread if you want and the menu says what does NOT contain gluten. Celiacs, you can have breakfast in peace, my celiac wife was not contaminated.

Glenn Whitelaw

Excellent quality good food and gluten free options for pasta and pizza

Fiona Yeang

Great place. Entrance is wheelchair accessible, and the gluten-free pizza base is fantastic. Friendly service, good atmosphere.

Grzegorz Borowiecki

A cute small restaurant serving superb and delicious vegan food with an abundance of gluten free options. Their GF dough is one of the best ones I’ve ever had. Everything is fresh and made from scratch, and they have delicious wines too. Staff is wonderfully hospitable and make you feel like you’re at home.

Briony Stewart

Our go to place for brunch in edi!! So good for gluten free and vibes
