Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Enjoy in Porto City

Fantastic little restaurant close to Palácio da Bolsa. It's tiny with only about 30 covers. Feels very local with the usual dishes including skewers that looked amazing, pork chops, mussels and prawns, calamari and Francesinha which was amazing, Most dishes available gluten free and knowledgeable staff. Also, gluten-free beer, which we didn't see much elsewhere. It's absolutely great for lunch and would recommend esp if you're gluten free. All felt very local.

I'm celiac and came here after reading the rave gluten free reviews. I ordered a gluten free pizza for takeaway. I confirmed when I was paying that the pizza was indeed gluten free - was told yes! I ate one piece once I got home, and felt extremely hesitant that this was really gluten free so I waited to see if I would be okay. After about an hour, I was profusely throwing up the entire contents of my stomach. Either this pizza was NOT gluten free, or it was - but gave me food poisoning. I almost never leave bad reviews - but this experience was awful.

Amazing for gluten free options. V coeliac friendly

Good vegetarian food! (And also other options). Lots of gluten free options. The sauces are TOP! And the place upstairs is very cozy for dinner. I would repeat a thousand times! :)

Dave Martins

Nice breakfast, several gluten-free options

Evianne Legrand

Lovely bar where you can order all kinds of healthy things and where it is made on the spot. Large menu for gluten-free dishes. Here you can eat all day long for a nice price!

Breakfast was delicious! Had a line when we walked up but after a quick wait my gluten free French toast was soooo delish!! Highly recommend

Marcia

paul montague

Had a lovely meal here. Great for gluten fee, knowledgeable friendly staff, menu clearly labelled and staff confirmed all orders to be sure all gluten free. Had the mozzarella salad, delicious squid and amazing duck risotto. Very small resturant on the water front. Seating outside with about 5 tables for 2 inside.

Maxine Swisa

Very knowledgeable about gluten intolerances or celiac. The gluten free options are clearly labeled and mainly pasta.

Go Ianiz

Great arepas and gluten free beer

Fantastic meal here. Just back of the river front and behind the restaurant Rib. Great atmosphere. Good for gluten free. Knowledgeable staff and lots of options for those with dietary restrictions. Food was delicious but go hungry as portions generous. Had a sea bass and.octopus as mains, both of which were great. All dishes looked good. Delicious mouse for desert. Good wine selection. All reasonably priced. Would highly recommend. Booking needed.

Marcell Kovács

Cosy place with gluten free options

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hi Paulina,  We do have a gluten free menu.  When you visit us, please inform the server of all your allergies, our staff will certainly provide you a meal free of allergens.  Check attached our full menu allergens for your consideration prior to your visit.  Thanks"

Pastel do bacalau gluten free very good, the gluten free dishes were reported

Eva Towner

Best dinner in Porto on our visit here. The family run restaurant has a gluten-free menu as well. The meringue chocolate layer cake for dessert is to die for.

Ellen Olšavská

Very tasty food and really helpful staff. He helped me choosing gluten free items from the menu considering cross contamination:)

paul montague

Great resturant. Limited gluten free choices but all labelled, knowledge and friendly staff well informed on cross contamination. Non GF food all looked great. We had tortilla, veal capaccio and prawn risotto. All delicious. Great setting with a good vibe in the main railway station. Booking required as constantly busy.

Miriam Jean-Jacques

Really enjoyed this place, there was a big variety of food and a good atmosphere. A good place for a first date or just for an affordable dinner. All-you-can-eat lettuce was a godsend in this gluten-full, pastry-for-breakfast/lunch/dinner continent. Great place, extremely recommend.

Mercador Café & Brunch in Porto is a gem for those looking for a cozy place with a modern atmosphere. The service was super friendly and fast. I enjoyed a delicious açaí with fruits, which was fresh and very well presented. 🍓🫐 In addition, they offer gluten-free bread, which is a great plus for those who need it. Their coffee is excellent and perfect to accompany their varied menu, which includes fresh and healthy dishes. 🥑🍳 The decoration of the place is elegant, ideal for relaxing or having a good time. Although the prices may be a little high, the quality justifies it. Without a doubt, a place that I recommend for a quiet and tasty brunch in the heart of Porto.

Fantastic food & quality! (tuna tacos are simply AMAZING!). Tasty gluten free beer. Super efficient & friendly servers. One of the best places to eat in Porto!

Mónica López Cuervo Tolinos

It is a spectacular place to eat and have a great time with family or friends. The food is great and as far as allergens are concerned there is nothing to worry about. As for the waiters, they are all charming, especially a boy with glasses who brought me a complimentary gluten-free skewer because he had heard that I have celiac disease. Unfortunately, not understanding Portuguese well, I understood that he had made a mistake and I rejected it. Thank you very much anyway, if I have the chance, I will try all the delicious gluten-free skewers again. A kiss❤️❤️❤️

Richard S

Friendly staff who helped me out with a gluten free burger bun. The outside seating is kept clean and pigeon free.

Shawnee DeChristopher

My family and I all agreed that this was the best meal we had during our entire trip to Portugal. Sooo many creative flavor pairings. Options for veggie and gluten-free eaters, which is important to us. Our table wasn't ready at our reservation time, but we didn't mind waiting outside for a few minutes and watching the local nightlife. They even offered us shots on the house of Beirão which was super sweet of them and also my new favorite liqueur. Thank you!

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hola! It will be a pleasure to receive you. We cook mainly with corn so you’ll find almost all our option gluten free. Of course with your allergies we will have reduce some of the plates we are offering but we believe you will still have many dishes to choose from. Muchas Gracias, FRIDA"

Joe F.

The best and most authentic Thai food I have ever had outside of Thailand. They have an extensive food and drink menu. Lots of gluten free options as well vegetarian options. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended!

Evianne Legrand

An hour before walked. But once there, you are assured of a gluten free menu because it is even on the tables. What friendly staff. Really a very good quality ratio! For €10,- a 3 course served…

Leo Guntli

Amazing! Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had in my life!!!(you have to advise them 24 hours in advance for the GF dough) The non-gluten free pizzas are also very very good! Staff is very helpful and funny. I will come back here for sure!

Sophie Lawson

Our favourite meal in Porto. Amazing service and food. Most of the menu is gluten free so safe for coeliacs too! Can’t wait to visit again!

Lydia C.

We came to get some take away sushi and the place was buzzin’. Better reserve a table for dine-in. We were happy that they were able to make our choices gluten-free. We had a couple of makis, nigiris and the vegan box, and everything was delicious and very well presented. Would come back.

Tim Mosedale

Very (VERY) good food and a great choice of gluten free options. Their cocktails are great too. Booked again for a return journey as we exited.

Lucilia Powell

I was so looking forward to come to this place, after having been to other Jose Avillez restaurants. This one was such a disappointment! The service was bad from start to finish, started off with a grumpy lady waiter that couldn’t be bothered to wait for us to choose, even though we had a coeliac child and needed to make sure what was ordered was safe. We were then served by another waiter, but it turns out half our order was already sent to the kitchen. Our food came in different times and the steak was cold. Two starters ordered first arrived after the main meals and again( one of them was cold. We sent the steak back, but everyone else had eaten their meal by the time it returned without even an apology. I think Jose Avillez should ensure the standard of his restaurants remain high, otherwise people will come out disappointed and write reviews similar to the recent ones here.

Orlane Vallais

A place I will definitely return to. Coming for a birthday dinner, my choice was for this restaurant given these superb reviews! And I was not disappointed. You will be welcomed in this small restaurant with typical Italian food with service worthy of a starred restaurant. Remember to book because their reputation is well established and therefore it is complicated to be able to sit down without prior reservation. And I had the joy of discovering that they had gluten-free options (and they are the best I have eaten!), they also have plenty of lactose-free options for our intolerant friends. Carbonara like in Italy, a pistachio tiramisu to hell, quality service and a lovely team! Thanks again to them for this welcome and this service which allowed us to end our trip to Portugal on a delicious note!

Jose Campurriano

I miss gluten-free food, this is the first time that it has happened to me in a McDonald's that they don't have anything gluten-free. We couldn't eat because they don't have gluten-free options, only the fries. In all the McDonald's in Spain there is gluten-free food, a Happy Meal hamburger. No gluten, no problem, this time we couldn't eat. The place is very nice and full of people. The area is currently under construction and is a little dirty and dusty, but otherwise it is very good, but not having gluten-free food is very bad.

Lilith Lensing

Best Eggplant I have ever eaten!! Such a nice service! Everything is vegan (but you can’t tell a difference between non-vegan food) - some dishes even with gluten free options. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Ashu Kumar

The food and service were beyond exceptional. From the start to the finish, it was just a pleasure to be there. My fiancé is celiac and they made sure on each level that everything she had was gluten free. If you are visiting Porto, highly recommend coming here. Yes, it is pricey compared to other restaurants but that is expected when you go for a fine dining. Will come back next time we travel to Porto. Huge shoutout to the staff🙏🏽

Manuel Pomorin

We stumbled upon this wonderful venue to escape the rain. Then we were enchanted. We enjoyed an excellent wine tasting and made some great friends with other guests. When we asked about a celiac-friendly restaurant, we were promptly invited to the restaurant at the back of the shop. We could hardly believe the dreamy ambiance that awaited us. This was followed by an unforgettable dinner with wine pairing. When we left the venue several hours later, it was still raining, but our mood couldn't have been better. We left slightly tipsy and with our stomachs full of delicious food. A very special thank you goes to the entire service team. We haven't experienced such excellent, attentive, and friendly service in a long time. We will definitely be back.

I recently visited the French Fries Factory, and I have to say, the experience was fantastic! The fries were simple yet amazing—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. What’s even better is that they can be gluten-free; just speak to the staff, and they will ensure your dietary needs are met. The team was friendly and accommodating, making the visit even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you’re looking for delicious fries and great service!

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back " Hello Paulina! Thank you for your contact.   Even though we offer gluten free options, it’s important to mention that any restaurant that prepares its dishes in the same kitchen as others with gluten has an obligation to warn of the possibility of having allergenic traces. Our team is extremely careful, but since our dishes are all made in the same kitchen that already implies a risk of cross contamination, even if it’s a small one.   That’s why we understand it’s extremely important to warn all of our guests, so they are aware of the conditions we work in and then they take the decision of visiting us, or not. Specially because we do not have a separate kitchen, fridge, utensils and instruments to cook the gluten free dishes.  Thank you, the Boa-Bao team"

Lisa Syverson

This is a very small restaurant run by a chef and a hostess/server with excellent tapas style food. We had an amazing experience here and some of the best salmon poke and tuna we've had. I am gluten free and although they don't have a dedicated Gf kitchen space or gf bread, we were seated at the counter when we could see the chef prepare the food and he was very careful about preparation. You could tell that he is well organized and always prepares food with care and it was not just because we could see him. Because it is a small restaurant, nothing is fast, but it's totally worth the wait.

Alon Atari

Good food and good for those avoiding Gluten

Tarek AT.

Hi nice place in city center specially for sea food lover , ala carte or chiefs menu both option are great , staff very friendly and accommodating dietary option like gluten free .

Rich Bowers

Enjoyed a delicious meal here. Needed some gluten free options, and the staff were very helpful. Great friendly service from Fernando. The food was superb. If you are around this way, I recommend this restaurant.

Barbara Sanchez

They have gluten-free pizzas! It would be nice if they advertised them more! We found out by chance, so we stopped by and asked. The menu outside didn't mention it, but they later gave us one that did (+3€ extra). The pizza was a bit pricey, but it's always good to have options.

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Yes. We have dishes that don't have those things"

isabel rocha leite

In addition to the usual friendliness of the employees and managers, from the mushroom pizza to the savory and sweet crepes, Meidin has gluten-free pizzas that are celiac-proof, great!! During the week it's super calm, at the weekend it's a place for families full of kids to share, we've been regular customers for many years 🤗

kari bell

The staff is extremely friendly and I think the food would have been ok. I asked to confirm what was gluten free. The cook said I could have the hake it came out without any seasoning at all. Bland and a bit over cooked. My friend fish was delicious tho

Kevin Kennedy

This is a very small tapas bar in Porto. A lovely scenic side street with outside seating. It was recommended to us by our hotel when we asked for something not touristy. This did not disappoint! I also need Coeliac/Gluten Free. No GF or allergens listed which is pretty normal for Porto, however, the staff member I chatted to after picking what I thought would be safe, was super friendly and understanding. She said that while a shared kitchen, they'd take precautions for me. I suspect I could have a lot more than I ordered if I wished. I had a few different items on the menu and a couple of glasses of wine, and it was all excellent. We went at lunchtime, and sat outside. It did rain, but being Irish, we were prepared so stayed sitting outside, and only moved inside to finish a glass of wine. Highly recommended.

Amelia Truss

One of the best restaurant meals I've ever had! Came with a friend on our first night in porto, amazing food, delicious wine, fantastic service and great fancy atmosphere all at an amazing price. Good Gluten Free options as well. 1000% recommended!
