Such a wonderful place! An oasis in tourist hell. Everything is delicious, gluten-free, dairy-free, and even vegan. The people are super friendly and the place, especially with the garden in the back, is absolutely beautiful! Thank you!!

My daughter was in Heaven. She got the ham and cheese croissant, the traditional custard pastry, the chocolate croissant, and a small sugar croissant and it was all delicious!! I wished we would have known about this place on the first day of getting here. I’m glad we tried it out. The prices are great as well.

Completely gluten free and celiac friendly!!! Have been here everyday for breakfast and did not disappoint. Would recommend to everyone!!

Stephen Chancellor

The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Separate celiac/gluten free cooking areas with items well labeled. The staff answered all of our questions thoroughly and offered several alternatives to meet our dietary needs. The owners of the shop spoke with us at the end of our experience and were a joy to get to know personally. Highly recommended this for a light breakfast or afternoon stop. 5/5 for the experience, the food, and the hospitality. We will be going back.

Sadly we got to Braga and found Bonna Gluten free was closed for good. 😕

Jessica Lewandowski

Closed without any warning. Big problem when you have Celiac Disease and very limited options.

Cotufagra

The best vegan chocolate cupcake I have ever tried! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. All products are gluten free too. It was my favourite spot in town <3

David L

Highly recommended. Delicious food, GF aware, friendly staff convenient location.

Mariona Cesari

They have many gluten-free options and they are very good. Leonardo took great care of us! Thank you very much

Juliette Whittingslow

Very nice brunch at Noshi! We enjoyed the ambiance and natural lighting of the patio, and you also have a couple of different options of where to sit down. We ordered a couple of drinks and food. The golden milk was on the sweeter side so keep that in mind! Also, even though the orange juice said natural, I felt that they had added sugar to it. We also ordered the vegan toast, delicious gluten free bread, wonderful balance of flavors and textures, we both enjoyed it very much. We also got the chia pudding which was great as well, nice proportions of fruit and jam. The service was alright. Attention was a little slow, maybe it was busy, and our server had little patience with us that day when I was asking questions, but thats alright. Would definitely return to try more goodies!

Exceptional! Was a very nice surprise today :) we were looking for a cozy coffee place to escape the rain and found this cute bistro ran by a lovely couple on Google maps. We ended up eating and trying some snacks and were blown away to find that they were not only vegan, but gluten free, too! The coffee was tasty and the vibe was right. We will for sure come back. Thanks for the nice afternoon :)

Jamie Taylor-Louro

everything is gluten free, and the staff were super friendly. it's cash only so make sure you have some euros on you before you go.

Iris Lys

Excellent food, friendly servers who communicate easily in several languages, and a short wait that was quickly forgotten. Be careful, there are no gluten-free options.

Mia Nielsen

It has all the gluten-free options, and everything is delicious. The custard tarts are highly recommended.

Mia Uu

It's incredibly delicious, everything's vegan, there are plenty of gluten-free options, the service is friendly, and everything looks beautiful! What can I say, it was amazing! Absolutely recommended!

Clemence T

A very nice place to take a break during a stay in Lisbon. It's quiet, very very good, suitable for vegan/vegetarian and gluten-free diets, the staff is very kind! We had a great time there, thank you! :)

Saioa

I booked on this site because I had read it recommended on Google. The truth is that the restaurant is very cool and they have a lot of varieties of French dishes: gluten-free, vegetarian... everything looked very good. We order the normal and the pure. The truth is that we expected something more, it wasn't bad but I wouldn't say it's the best franceshina I've ever eaten in my life. The treatment was very good and the atmosphere was very cool.

Eva Polliart

Discovered this brunch in the old town of Aljezur. A nice hippie atmosphere, but not very cozy if you want to feel comfortable while eating 😅 Very good acai bowl granola, as well as the gluten-free banana bread. Lots of vegan and gluten-free options, which are pretty good!

Graeme Wheatley

Great cafe with top-notch coffee and food. The pancakes are amazing for breakfast, just make sure that you are hungry. Also they have a brilliant selection of gluten free and vegan cakes.

Clara

I had an amazing glutenfree cupcake and sandwich! Lovely place and super friendly staff!

Paula P

Very, very delicious sandwiches and burgers. The best thing is that they can be adapted to suit celiacs, as they have gluten-free bread (although it's regular sandwich bread, not the typical Madeira bread that the gluten-free options offer). The fries are simple but very good and also gluten-free. However, we had to wait a long time for our food, even though the place wasn't particularly busy. Still, the waiter was very pleasant, and despite the terrace being on a busy street, it's very quiet.

María Filgueira

It's super good, the food is delicious and very reasonably priced. One drawback is that if you're celiac or gluten-intolerant, it's quite exhausting to be charged the difference and an extra 1 euro. It just doesn't make sense. Otherwise, everything is delicious, the atmosphere is super nice, and so is the place.

Teresa Tong

Decent offering of gluten & sugar free desserts, with the option of being lactose free and vegan. The outlet mainly create larger cakes and offer frozen food for sale🎂 Dining in is possible, with very limited seating available only outdoor. Indoor seating is somewhat used as an office and seminar room for cake and pastry workshop. Taste for both Lasagna and apple tart are decent in taste. Coffee ☕️ (decaf) was average. Wifi is available. Service is attentive. Portuguese command is highly advantageous for a smooth experience, as the staffs speaks close to zero English.

Lauren Israel

Great breakfast spot with gluten free options. They were knowledgeable about gluten free.

Emily Palmer

First of all, the coffee is exceptional, this is an absolute must-visit (every morning) for a great cuppa. Next up is the vegan treats! My son is allergic to eggs and dairy and has had a really tough time finding anything he can have, I was amazed to find the bakery section was all either vegan or gluten free. Cue very excited 3 year old to be included! The staff have been extremely welcoming, even when I've been turning up at opening on the dot to have a coffee before work! (Sorry!) There is a genuinely lovely collection of staff so very kind and inclusive. Ohh AND - the list goes on, I know - you can also work from here. It's not overly crowded, a real-life hidden gem with great coffee, great staff and a quiet place to work.

Very glutenfree friendly

Nazareno Ostorero

Very good atmosphere and better food. But they charged me €10 for two slices of gluten-free bread (we ordered the mixed board that comes with regular bread, we wanted it to be without bread and order the extra gluten-free bread that cost €2, but they offered to make the change directly without telling us about the disproportionate surcharge). A great pity

Lenki Szpojnarowicz

Delicious gluten free brownie!! Lovely little hike treat. great service and seating outdoor with toilets, coffee, drinks and lots of cakes.

AJ Baron

A gem worth visiting! Good food, beautiful cafes, and friendly service. Had gluten free bread for my love. Everything was great.

Emma Andrew

Exceptionally Gluten Free friendly! I had the gluten free wrap (which is hard to find often even in the UK)! They can change almost all breads wraps burger buns etc. It was exactly what we wanted. Lovely staff

Sofia Trujillo R.

A very good option for breakfast and for people with celiac disease too! You cannot reserve, so arrive early since the place is not very big, we only had to wait 5 minutes for a table. We decided on toast with eggs that were very juicy, with avocado, and we wanted to try the cheese and cold cuts tasting board, the pumpkin jam was delicious. A good option for the tourist area.

Tiziana Vieira

A place with gluten-free and lactose-free products. I loved it 😍 I recommend it!

Cloe Authier

Great gluten-free brunch, everything is really good and super fresh! The servers are adorable, the atmosphere is great. Good value for money, you leave with a full stomach and a smile on your face. Honestly, go for it with your eyes closed!

Scott Handelman

Fantastic place! The best gluten-free and vegan options we've found in the Algarve region! It's a really cool shop, too!

Ricardo Mendonça

Good energy! Vegan/gluten-free concept! Soups; salads; pancakes; wonderful homemade cakes... And so many other fantastic things! And of course, a carefully selected bookstore! Friendly and cheerful service! It could only be Insensato! Thank you!

Kane Robert Hoskins

Great option for gluten free cone. Great place would highly recommend!!

Jennifer Hardt

Delicious eggs benedict with gluten free option of having it served on a hash-brown instead of bread. Well-prepared iced latte, iced chai and cherry lime lemonade. Plus a very pleasant and helpful server as well who kindly brought us a bowl of water for our dog. Recommend!

M S

Following from a recommendation from a friend in Saudi Arabia, we popped into this cafe for brunch. Stylish and chilled out decor, amazing food and hands down the best coffee in the Algarve!! A must visit when in Albuferia.. Super friendly and welcoming staff, very knowledgeable on gluten free.. 10 stars all the way🌟

Jimena de Vries

Delicious and SUPER pet friendly! We were actually just looking for a quick coffee break with our dog, and we would have stayed for hours! They invited us inside even with our big dog, and the owner brought a water bowl for her even before we sat down. The coffee and gluten free sweets were fantastic, and the couple who own the place were so friendly in such a familiar way. We would definitely go back to Silves just to go back there! Highly recommended!

Faye Moore

Lovely cafe. No options for gluten free, not even bread so one of our group couldn’t have anything unfortunately

Maria Laura

Sweet and savory delights, vegan and gluten-free options. Excellent service. Somewhat high prices.

Lena M.

Almost everything is gluten-free. And it tastes delicious, with generous portions that fill you up. The staff is, as always, fantastic 🌞definitely go!

Stela Ilicic

Sunrays kitchen is a truly cozy spot with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service was exceptional—friendly and attentive without being intrusive. What impressed me the most were their gluten-free desserts, which were absolutely delicious!

incredible brunch with welcoming staff and gluten-free options, a must in Lisbon. The gluten-free bread was one of the best ive ever tried, fluffy and dense which is extremely rare to find!

lily hall

We ordered two takeaway pistachio matchas for €14.30. We asked for one gluten free and one with oat milk. They gave us the gluten free one with oat milk (which is not gluten free). This meant that we had to scrape the cookie and pistachio cream off my celiac friend’s drink and onto mine as she is allergic. It also took us 20 minutes to receive the drinks and the sizes were incredibly small. Not worth the money. We had also seen them bring out the dine in drink with the pistachio cookie advertised but instead we got a small biscoff cookie for some reason.

Hugo Rosa Silva

From the service, to the preparation, to the availability and support, I highly recommend Sam's healthy cakes and sweets, free from gluten, dairy, oil or refined sugar. I give it a 5 because the scale doesn't go up to 10 ;-) Health, happiness and success, are my wishes, Sam and the whole team.

One of the best spots in Lisbon for breakfast and lunch! Healthy, beautifully presented food made with the freshest ingredients and really nice specialty coffee and matcha. Plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available. Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere and a beautifully minimalistic design. Bonus points: they’re dog-friendly!
