Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Enjoy in South Africa

Tamarin Morrell

Delicious treats that are allergy friendly and wholesome. My personal favorite is the gluten free ginger chocolate cake.

We had an amazing lamb shank here. The service is great and the menu has a lot of gluten free options. We were so impressed that we returned for breakfast the next morning, which was also wonderful :)

This was our favorite restaurant in all of Southern Africa! My husband and I ordered almost every entree on the vegan menu (11 dishes), including their 3 course set menu with 3 sides (we're foodies!). Every single one was delicious and made with fresh, healthy ingredients. My favorite was the Defin Misir Alicha - a brown lentil dish. I am going to try to find a recipe to make it back home in America! My husband raved about every dish that was seasoned with Berbere. He ordered a cocktail (the Spice Ethiopian Tosgne) which he still talks about because it was so good (and he's very picky about his cocktails, since he's an unofficial expert mixologist). The service was exceptional. Our waiter (Linga?) was friendly and cheerful, prompt, personable, and respectful. The brief interactions we had with other waiters (and I think the owner) were all remarkably friendly. Our courses felt perfectly timed - neither rushed nor tardy. Our waiter even noticed that after the sun set, there were some mosquitoes near our outdoor table (we hadn't noticed) and was thoughtful enough to bring out some burning frankincense to repel them. It worked and smelled great! Everything looked and felt clean. The tables, chairs, plates, and decor all crafted an atmosphere that felt authentic, pleasant, and not overdone. They had so many options that we'd be comfortable bringing people there with all kinds of different needs - people who don't like spice or love spice, vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free, dairy-free, whatever. It's very accommodating.

Amazing experience, the whole atmosphere was really good. Great food. Very knowledgeable about gluten free as well

Having a gluten allergy I was super happy to find this place, as they have lots of GF options and seemed to take it seriously (not always the case in CT). Ordered online and selected GF option for both bread and flapjack. I also wrote a brief note in my order re the allergy. Food arrived and the bread wasn’t GF but only realised after a couple of bites. Long story short - food was nice but because of their slack outlook on GF (nothing was done regarding this) I couldn’t feel safe eating at this restaurant again. If you too have an allergy or intolerance, be mindful when ordering.

They have the best Gluten free pizza!

I'm celiac, so I can't eat gluten at all. At the menu there are some dishes marked as gluten free, but always double check with the kitchen / waitress if it's 100% save. We went there two times and I always had the fish. It's delicious and I didn't had any problems. So totally recommend this place.

Pieter Sollitt

I found their menu limited. No gluten free designed meals as such. It was remove bun off a burger or remove dressing to make it gluten free. Staff were super helpful and stunning views.

Talia Greenberg

Very nice gluten-free pizza! The small details of the look of the restaurant could get some more attention

Cole Harris

The food is some of the best I have ever had. we shared 2 lots of tacos & each had the brisket that melted in your mouth. I truly haven't had food quite like it before. The price is extremely valuable for the quality & location. The staff were exceptional, very kind & very knowledgeable. My friend is gluten-free and had plenty of great options available.

Ordered a gluten free pasta for celiac purposes. Pasta was surved with sour dough bread on top of it!

Larry Venter

Fabulous! The legend of great Italian food with spectacular views remains intact! Do not hesitate to visit Enrico’s!! Also … if you’re gluten free … they go out their way! 🥰

Eyal Frank

The dinner was excellent! They were very considerate and served us very tasty dishes with our gluten-free and diabetics / low carb restrictions... so we came again the next day for another excellent dinner! Service from all levels is very good, attentive, and professional. Will definitely come again if in the area.

Amourelle Isaacs

We were served by Sue Ann who was absolutely great! She was very attentive, knowledgeable about my gluten allergy and could advise me on a better option. Thank you!

Ricarda Miller

Had a really nice glutenfree pizza there for lunch. Got served super fast. Our waiter Lucy was amazing with my toddler and he got his own pizza dough to make his own pizza bread, which they then baked for him. Can recommend 100%. Thaaaaanks !

Mark Cresswell

Awesome gluten free options. Everything our table ordered was amazing!

Jessica Shames

Good gluten free options for celiac disease and avoid cross contamination

Eddie van der Walt

tasty pizza! + gluten-free base option

We were 4 diners. My daughter has Celiac disease so we specifically went to Maria’s because they advertised gluten free food. The food was amazingly good! But the manager was rude and abrasive, very dismissive when we asked for assurance that the food was prepared separately. When we got our starters, her gluten free starter was placed next to pita bread that was NOT gluten free, thus contaminating her food. When we pointed this out to the manager, he simply shrugged and left. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. And also apologetic about another table that was very loud, causing us to not stay for dessert because the noise level was simply too high! The only down side about the food was the baklava fingers we ordered as take away. They were vile! Tasted only of cinnamon. I’m Greek so I know how they should taste. Very disappointing dessert, don’t order that!

As always in South Africa, very friendly and courteous staff. Very tasty food, gluten-free as well as “normal”. Absolutely nothing to complain about.

I absolutely loved the Gluten-Free Classic Falafel Wrap. So fresh and flavorful. The Peanut Butter Cup was the perfect treat, rich and indulgent. Healthy, delicious, and made with care. Highly recommend it! 💛

Wow! The food and beverage offerings at Lanzerac deli were spectacular. We ate a delicious light meal despite needing strict gluten free diet. The iced tea was unique and memorable. We loved the squirrels

Lovely music playing, good selection of drinks, gluten free pasta and pizza bases available 😋 Lubis gave us incredible service throughout the time we were here, very welcoming and helpful with our dietary requirements. Definitely will come back and would definitely recommend to others.

Roisin Maguire

One of the best meals I've had in Capetown. Fantastic food and brilliant service. They cater for gluten free too. Highly recommend!

We had the Patatas Crujientes, the corn ribs, the beef birria and the chicken birria. All of it was extremely tasty. Cocktails also fantastic. Our servers, Arnold and Nigel were friendly and helpful. I am gluten intolerant and am therefore quite difficult to cater for, but Arnold was well informed and made sure to point out what I wouldn't be able to eat on the menu.

Had high expectations that sadly weren’t met. The service really wasn’t great (not listening when taking our order, forgetting what we’d ordered and coming back, missing bits of courses, dropping dirty cutlery (understandable) and then not cleaning up the mess after, not taking deposit off the bill etc). My husband is gluten free, and we totally understand it’s not as recognised in SA, but this was the worst example we’ve had in the country. Food was average, sadly nothing to get excited about - or enough to make up for the service!

Gabriella Williamson

Incredible and pleasant experience! We had a friend with us who is gluten intolerant, and our waiter was so helpful and knowledgeable on all of the ingredients of the dishes, and how to ensure a safe meal. The food was delicious, and one of the best seafood dishes I’ve had! Highly recommend
