Top 35 Gluten-Free Celiac Friendly Spots to Explore in Manchester

This is a home styleChinese restaurant. Service was outstanding and the staff were very attentive and kept asking us if everything was ok. There is a separate gluten-free menu and the choice is reasonable. The main menu is not extensive but covers the usual dishes. I was slightly disappointed in the quality. The gluten free lemon chicken was lacking in sufficient lemon taste but the chicken breast was great. The non coeliac meat dish was very tasty yet overpowered by the use of too much starch in the sauce. Spring rolls were did not contain enough filling. The oil in which they were fried was perhaps not hot enough. The hot and sour soup contained chicken and shrimps and was tasty, although the thickening starch was a bit too much. Overall, excellent service and great for coeliacs who very rarely get the chance to eat Chinese food. Highly recommended.

Great vegan and gluten-free options

Chloe Banham

Great gluten free pie options, the service was lovely. There were a couple of issues with our meal but they dealt with them well.

Maria

I absolutely love the place! Perfect for gluten free and super cute. It is quite small but this is part of its charm. Service is amazing and so welcoming :) I recommend any of the brownies and the gluten free bagel is out of this world !

Incredible gluten free and vegan options. Staff always friendly!

Had a great experience catching up with friends. The staff were super helpful and accommodating to my gluten free intolerance. We were served by Ubayd who delivered a friendly and generous experience for me and my friends

Second Bill's I've dined at, the last being in London. Great service, consistent quality, great GF variety. They have a separate Gluten Free menu and you are served your food by a manager for safety. 5 stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

visited Manchester today for my scheduled monthly trip with my son and husband. We dined at the Hard Rock Cafe, our preferred establishment, appreciating its exceptional atmosphere, staff, and cuisine. The restaurant's accommodation of my son's and my coeliac disease is particularly noteworthy, ensuring both safety and deliciousness. Our server, Steven, provided attentive, friendly, and welcoming service. His own experience with coeliac disease was a significant advantage, eliminating any need for extensive explanation (though the Hard Rock Cafe staff are consistently accommodating). He thoroughly explained the kitchen's procedures. Despite our familiarity with the restaurant, their reassurances regarding food safety were appreciated. Manager Rik also checked on our experience, reiterating the safety protocols. My son particularly enjoyed the attention, a welcome respite after a challenging week at school.

Such a lovely place we came on Saturday my mam is gluten and dairy free and it was not a problem, the food was lovely we all had the flat iron steak, friendly atmosphere and the staff were so helpful and happy in their work. We moved into the bar area after our meal and it was so relaxing. Thank you to all of the staff Ash, Simon, Paulo and Tyler it was lovely to meet you all and we will definitely be back.

Jackie Swayze

Great pies! Love that they have gluten free options. I had the gluten free ranger and garden peas - would absolutely come here again!

Fiona Beresford

Nice place to eat, clearly labelled vegan and or vegetarian and or gluten free foods. Good enough standard. The cauliflower wings were sold out, so too were the cashew nuts. Took 40 mins to receive our food after our 2 pm booking and food order. Seems like a nice place to go for afternoon tea?

David L

Wonderful, inviting, charming pub. Clearly marks gluten-free options, which are many. Gluten-free cider on tap. Highly recommended. Fish and chips were wonderful.

Ellie Mcdonald

Absolutely amazing food and wonderful service. Plenty of gluten free choices and perfect place to share a couple of dishes with friends or just have something to yourself, although not the cheapest definitely worth the price.

Jo J

It's so nice to eat somewhere that has good options for someone who is both veggie and gluten-intolerant. Often, restaurants think you can be one or the other but Maray catered for us well. Very tasty dishes, nice atmosphere and the 2 wait staff we had were very friendly and helpful.

Ruaridh Williams

Great gluten-free pizza & dough balls. Friendly & quick service 🙌🏼

Simone Algisi

Good gluten free pizza and fusilli ragu. Gluten free options clearly marked on the menu and the staff is very knowledgeable

Cheryl Pearson

Awesome spot for coeliacs and GF people. Food is spectacular. Nothing is off limits !

Frank Cilla

This is my absolute favorite place in Manchester. I came here while visiting from the US and everyone in my family loved the food. My daughter has celiac and cannot eat gluten and this is the best meal we have had in a very long time. The arepas were so full and fresh I wish I had more time to try others. We had the chicken and the beef and both were phenomenal. We also ate empanadas and they were some of the best I’ve ever had. Not only was the food amazing but the service might have been even better. They were so accommodating and knowledgeable about gluten allergies and ensured we had a great experience here. I can’t say enough how amazing Mia’s Arepas is and highly recommend to anyone in the Manchester area. Thank you for making our family trip even better with your delicious food!

Charlie Clark

Really good food, cocktails and great service from Nic, especially accommodating to a gluten allergy! Both her and the host were really understanding and explained everything really clearly. Desserts were given free as an anniversary gift which we really appreciated!

A SP

Really friendly service and well-looked after by Keesha. She dealt with my gluten allergy and recommended dishes. The summer menu is delicious and loved the burnt Basque cheesecake. I know I can always rely on Waggas to deliver tasty gluten-free food and l really enjoyed the North Atlantis G.F. IPA. Thanks Keesha and team for another enjoyable evening.

Jodie Reynolds

Really poor for gluten intolerant people. The QR code isn’t accurate and shows only 2 times available. Made for a very stressful hard way to order. Needs a GF paper menu to specify what has CONTACT with gluten and what has gluten INSIDE.

S Chowdhury

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was delicious with a great variety — loads of halal options and plenty of naturally gluten-free choices too, which was perfect. The salad bar was super fresh and honestly one of the best I’ve had. Service was excellent — one of the staff kindly asked if we were waiting for a specific meat and made sure it was brought over to us quickly. The highlight for me was the cinnamon pineapple… unreal! I’d go back just for that alone. Only downside was the atmosphere — it was quite busy and noisy, so a bit hard to have a conversation and hear what the waiters were saying. But the food and service made it totally worth it. Will definitely be back!

Emma Nind

7 of us had dinner last night about an hour before closing and the staff were wonderful, really helpful with gluten intolerance and talking through options. Food was delicious

Tierni Clarke

Service extremely slow - non existent interaction with staff, we just walked in and found a table after waiting a few minutes. Wasn't that busy when we visited, ordered at the bar instead of downloading an app. Very disappointing portion size for the price, food was also not that hot. Tasted ok but wouldn't rush back. The booths with individual TVs were a nice touch to be able to see the TV if you wish. Music very loud so not the best for small babies/children. Very detailed menus - separate ones for gluten free and vegan. Great choice but not well presented.

Jaceyproudfoot

Such a great experience! While traveling we went to this location and we're blown away by the service. They were very accommodating for my allergies and understood the importance of gluten free. Check out this burger and my first ever espresso martini! I will definitely check out more TGI Fridays and wish I get to one day come back to this great location. Amazing staff, great location, decent prices, and just over all a great time.

Luke Strange

Had the shack rice which was delicious. The meat was so well seasoned, particularly the beef. The food arrived quickly. The service was fantastic. I am coeliac and they were very happy to cater for me. Although Vietnamese is naturally good for gluten free, they made sure I had the allergen matrix and let the kitchen know to prepare my food safely. I felt reassured that the staff knew what they were doing, but not over-explained or patronised about my own allergy, which is perfect. Overall great service for a large group of 7, nice vibe, good value for money, and delicious food. Can't ask for more than that.

Alanah Moulsdale

Award winning Indian restaurant!! Although Asha’s is not a dedicated gluten free facility, the majority of their curries are gluten free. Just can’t have the breads and bhaji. I had the Rogan Josh and it was the best curry I’ve ever had. They mark which dishes contain gluten on their menu and are really careful with cross contamination.

Ben Basi

Best french toast I've had, many gluten free options as well

Jayde Moulton

Went for bottomless brunch with a group of friends. Have a gluten intolerance and the manager kindly came and took my food order. We had Aimee as a waitress who always made sure we had drinks and was very polite and great customer service. Thank you

Sedgwick James

Staff were very kind and gave me a free pastry for my birthday, food was delicious 😊 Good gluten free options for my friend

Alanah Moulsdale

Coeliac UK accredited. The have a gluten free menu with lots of options, including pasta and pizza. They also have some gluten free desserts too.

Olena Ifyopia

I dropped by during lunch without a reservation. All the tables were taken, but the staff pointed out one that was free for another hour, which was just right for me. The gluten-free options were clearly labeled on the menu, and the staff knew a lot about coeliac disease. They even mentioned that my partner's dish could be made gluten-free too, even though it wasn't indicated on the menu, so we could share. When our meals arrived, the staff confirmed which ones were gluten-free again. I really appreciate this effort and want to say a big thank you for such a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, and the staff were super friendly and polite.
