Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Delight in Chester

Just enjoyed a wonderful birthday lunch here. Such lovely staff who spoiled us rotten! Food was gorgeous as always, I can highly recommend the cheese cake. My mum has celiac disease and swears there is nowhere to match Marmalade.

Amazing food and great with my husbands gluten intolerance

Trudi Thomas

We liked everything about this place, the service was lovely and our server was very helpful. They even took our gluten-free order separately, which was fantastic. It may have been an off day for the kitchen staff, as the food did not live up to the service. We ordered a variety of brunch foods, but none were presented well, and looked like they had been reheated which was a shame. Will tru again to see if this was an off day.

A lovely fish and chip shop right in the centre of Chester. You can dine in or takeaway. The food is lovely we just had the small cut and chips with mushy peas I meant to take a photo before I started to eat it but got carried away sorry. They also do delicious ice creams and desserts plus they do tea coffee and serve alcohol. They do a gluten-free menu as well.

We stumbled in here on a rainy day looking for some gluten free options, of which we found several !! The lunch selections were decent, and the *meal* prices were incredibly fair. The food was admittedly somewhat simple, my husband loved the leek and potatoe soup which came as part of the special. We got the impression the focus was put more on the bakery and drinks so I had to try some gluten free caramel apple crumble pie. MY GOD was it good !! However, it was nearly £6 for one lone slice. Having said that, it was surprisingly WORTH that much (but maybe just the once) The soft drinks I must admit were absurdly priced (over £4!!) and teeny tiny. The staff seemed quite friendly, however they were very busy as the place appeared to be quite popular, particularly for drinks. May return for the gluten free menu and affordable lunch, and will dream of the apple pie, but a little thrown off by the underwhelming meals and the high prices of other items. I am also celiac and faced no adverse reactions whatsoever.

Fantastic Sunday roast. All gluten free options were clearly listed

This place is literally one of my favourite places to eat as a Coeliac. The food is out of this world and completely safe and the staff treat you like an old friend that they've known for years. If I could give 10 stars, I would. The chef even gave me his gluten free bread recipe, which is phenomenal.

Yvonne Stamp

Tried the Koconut Grove for the first time today and we'll definitely be back. Our son is Coeliac so cannot eat anything with gluten. We were so impressed by their knowledge of cross contamination. They took their time to explain what was gluten free, what to avoid and really went out of their way to make sure our son knew what was safe to eat. The food was delicious, the staff amazing what more can you ask for.

I had ordered the padana pizza. It's gluten free and vegan. The dips were so flavourful, i couldn't believe they were vegan. I expected the base to be either soggy or too hard but it wasn't and was perfect

Amber Talbott

Yummy food. We ordered 3 tapas each plus 2 sides to share and it was about the right amount of food! Sadly left no room for dessert. Sangria was lovely. Lots of vegetarian and gluten free options. Friendly staff, and well done to the man who was being trained to take orders etc - you did great!

Sonia Sheils

Absolutely lovely, staff member was gluten free so really helped when ordering my gf meal , free ice cream for my birthday 🎂 was a bonus 😋

Valerie Hinchliffe

Had lunch at this pub for the first time on a recent trip to Chester. It's a former coaching inn, ideally located right in the historic centre, between the town hall and the new market, close to the shops, with the cathedral only a couple of minutes walk away. The outside tables are right next to an ancient Roman column. Although the building is Victorian, the interior has a very contemporary decor and vibe, with comfy plush chairs. The barman was helpful and friendly, and although it was busy and some of the tables were reserved, he found me a nice place near the bar. Good selection of beers, wine and gin (chose a nice Merlot). The lunch menu offered a wide variety of small plates, burgers, and main courses, with plenty of veggie and gluten-free options. I had the slow cooked minted lamb and potato hotpot, served with mixed vegetables. It was piping hot, with really tender meat, and lots of herbs that gave it a delicious flavour. The vegetables were crisp and lightly cooked. Could not resist one of the tempting desserts - a mouthwatering lemon and white chocolate pavlova with raspberry coulis - and a large latte. Overall, an excellent meal, and not too expensive given the quality of the food and the location. Would come again.

Emily Hughes

The food was delicious and catered to gluten free! Ellie was lovely and couldn’t do enough for us! :-)

Clayton Pritchard

Gluten Free options

Lara

Our first time eating here and it was a great experience. Food was piping hot and delivered quickly. Would recommend the gluten free pizza and tiramisu. Good value for money too. They do celebrate your birthday in a big way and it can be a bit noisy but you have to expect that in an Italian restaurant.

Nick Beattie

I’m celiac and max my server was really helpful with explaining to be what my options were. Exceptional service and really happy with the meal

Michelle Yorkshire

Nice place, good variety of options on the menu. Small plates, tapas, main meals, sides. Vegan and vegetarian marked clearly and separate gluten free menu. Good drinks menu with cocktails marked if suitable for vegans and AF marked up too. Food was really good. Good portions and tasty too. Staff were friendly but only marked down on this score because of a slight issue. We would recommend and return again.

S Taylor

There were five of us, (two couples and a grandaughter). We had been given the table requested (great start). Our waitress Anna checked if there were any allergies, (dairy and gluten) and did everything to help our grandaughter to find the right meal, what was brilliant about Anna was her knowledge of what food our grandaughter could have and checked if everything was going well. We had a great table, brilliant service and lovely food what more could you ask for.

Chris Eardley

Food really tasty. Staff friendly and attentive. Would be 5 star with more gluten free options.

Mark & Mandy Allerton

Popped in for a drink at lunch while staying in Chester. Staff really friendly and welcoming. Very relaxed atmosphere so decided to eat there on the evening. Food was fantastic, husband is a coeliac but this wasn’t a problem, steak was amazing as were all the sides. Loved the bar. Highly recommend.

Lamoore

Nice location on a high street in Chester. Didn't take photos as I didn't think it was worth it, but now I wish I had as they would have made my point. The food was mediocre and heavily overpriced for what was served. I ordered a dish that was similar to an eggs royale with a slight difference and decided to go for the gluten free option. Shockingly, this meant I got a tiny slice of gluten free bread with two poached eggs on it. Oh, and the eggs were disapointingly overcooked. The description for an item on the menu was misleading. An absence of the advertised slow grilled tomatoes on the dish served meant, as explained by a staff (possibly manager), that the bearly visible tomatoes were actually chopped and mixed in the sparingly spead avacado on the bread. There was no warmth or even passion in the service, not even on a lovely sunny day. Not impressed!

Sara Latham

We had a lovely lunchtime meal for a birthday celebration. The food was great - I had hummus as a starter and it was possibly the best I’ve ever had. We were all very happy with our food choices - there is plenty of choice and lots of GF options (my partner is coeliac). Our server was super friendly and helpful. It was quiet when we went, but I expect there’s a nice atmosphere in the evening as it’s a lovely place. Would definitely go again 😊

Marie Shortt

Amazing and gluten-free menu is available. The staff and chefs are wonderful. Highly recommended.

Zaerienne

Delicious food the best wild mushroom sauce and chicken breast I've ever had, coffee dessert is also tasty. And most importantly for me as a celiac I felt safe and care. Thanks 👍

Deborah Grant

I don’t often write reviews, however wanted to share how great this place is for those that are Gluten Free. We had a GF person in our group, from the second we walked through the door staff were aware and fully understood the difficulties this can pose, they were understanding and the menu and food is probably 90% - 95% available. Everything is labelled very clearly and all staff informed and trained to understand this. Salad bar is immense and fresh, the hot food flows and plentiful, great place, great food, lovely well trained staff and atmosphere.

Laura Gellatly

Although it is not advertised they have a gluten free menu! Great food and lovely atmosphere, would recommend

David Cooper

My friends and I booked a table at Thai Baan whilst we were in Chester for the bank holiday weekend. The restaurant itself was great with a lovely atmosphere. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was incredible and there were good options for both the vegetarian and gluten-free members of our group. I love Thai food but this was some of the best I have had. The great food coupled with the great atmosphere meant we had a really lovely evening here. I would highly recommend to anyone staying in Chester.

Calum Johnson

The breakfast has great gluten free and vegan options

Peter Owen

First class in every respect. The food (gluten free) was delicious 😋, we went for several side dishes. The staff who served us were marvelous, especially the lady who cooked and served our food. Nothing was too much trouble, exceptional quality of service and food. Highly recommended.

Beth Parkes

Really friendly staff and great atmosphere. Really accommodating to gluten intolerance. I had a gluten free margarita and it was the best GF pizza I've ever eaten!

Jo Moo

Fantastic find in Chester. Lovely food and friendly service. Very good with gluten free dishes and advising what is safe to eat. Fast service but plenty of time to eat. Would happily recommend.

Leanne Gibson

A total gem on the Rows of Chester. I have visited Pars Kahve for coffee and for food and both times experienced great service and outstanding food. The family here really know how to ensure you experience the right tastes for you and offer a great gluten free range which was important to a party member on my most recent visit. Well priced drinks and food, a menu bursting with great flavour and friendly staff. What more could you want. Can’t wait to go again.

Mark williams

Delightful. From the lovely, happy, smiley young ladies serving to the delicious food, this grill bar is a must. Great attention paid to delivering me a gluten free meal.

Michael Hill

The food here is excellent, really great flavours with so many vegan and gluten free options! Highly recommend the chickpea dosa with coriander chutney. Staff were also so lovely and helpful, my partner and I were well looked after. Will definitely be back :-)

Paul Dunn-Jones

Tried this restaurant on Saturday night with friends for the first time; it will not be the last….. It’s a fabulous addition to Chester city centre. Stunning opulent decor, amazing, friendly staff the most incredible food. A true tastebud delight. Great selection to suit gluten free too. Nice selection of quality wines and drinks. A nice high end dining experience which I can’t wait to cone back to try again. 10/10 for ensuring we received not only the best curry I’ve had in years but for the best service in a restaurant I’ve ever had.

Luke Melvin

Went to the Turtle Bay in Chester and everything was lovely. It was busy but our server Callum was attentive and also made sure that our order was received by a manager since one of us is gluten intolerant.

Jessica Wareing

Amazing place! The staff were so friendly and well informed on ingredients! The best allergy sheet, very informative. Nearly all toppings gluten free! I had a gluten and dairy free spud! Absolutely lovely place, lovely staff and a lovely view! With good prices!

Kas Latif

By far the best place in Chester!! Came in as part of a large group and the service from the start was exceptional! The team looked after us and made us all feel extremely welcome. The food was out of this world, highly recommend the steak. The restaurant itself is really great too, great atmosphere and reasonably priced. They even had some very good veggie and gluten free options. I can't recommend this place enough!

Simon Ramirez

Fabulous gluten-free pizza, which is sometimes hard to find. Really tasty, thanks guys!

Sheila Dunbar

Had a takeaway which was excellent. Great for people on a gluten free diet due to Coeliac disease.

selena power

Really great service Delicious gluten free pizza Could have been a little warmer but will be ordering again

Sue Reynolds

I had gluten-free options, which were excellent.

Stephen Hollands

Lovely restaurant with delicious food. My wife is gluten and dairy free so it was so refreshing to have such good choice from the menu.

Paul Ryan

Last Monday my friend and I were visiting Chester and went to Sergios at lunch time. We were very impressed with the food and the service. My friend has intolerances with some seafood and likes gluten free as well. The young waitress was very knowledgeable and pointed out meals that would suit him. Although very busy little place the service was quick and well presented. Will definitely return.

Exceptional Service and Gluten-Free Delights at The Opera Grill with Francesco During our recent dining experience at the Opera Grill, we were fortunate enough to be under the care of an exceptional host named Francesco. Not only did he cater to our every need, but he also demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to ensuring our gluten-free requirements were meticulously adhered to. With his outstanding service and attention to detail, Francesco made our meal a truly unforgettable experience. Above and Beyond for Gluten-Free Needs: What truly impressed us about Francesco was his dedication to accommodating our gluten-free dietary restrictions. Not only did he listen attentively to our needs, but he also took the time to discuss our specific requirements in detail. Francesco's expertise in handling gluten-free meals was evident as he went above and beyond. Francesco's outstanding service and his exceptional dedication to catering to our gluten-free needs left an indelible mark on our dining experience at Francesco's. He displayed professionalism, kindness, and a genuine passion for ensuring our satisfaction. We highly recommend Francesco to anyone seeking a memorable meal, especially those with dietary restrictions. With Francesco around, you can be confident that your dining experience will be nothing short of exceptional. Many thanks Pete & Gemma.

John Robinson

Very Disappointing!! Arrived for brunch with my wife who is coeliac so GF is essential. My wife ordered a meal off the menu which was identified as GF.... vegetarian haggis with tomato, hash brown, egg, beans, mushrooms and a slice of GF bread. Meal arrived without the haggis. No mention of this from the staff, it took my wife to ask why there was no haggis. ... the main item of the meal. She was told it was because they couldn't guarantee it was GF. No mention of this when I ordered and full price charged and paid. Borderline scandalous. Needless to say, won't be going back.

Simone Kynaston

Food was fantastic: lovely portion size, and cooked to perfection. They also offered gluten free options, which was a great plus. Staff were very friendly. Coffee was delicious. Will be recommending to friends and family and returning ourselves.

Hetan Somaiya

Fantastic Food and Great Service The atmosphere was wonderful, especially when Bobby (the owner) came to take our order. He was charming and wonderful; swapping ingredients in some dishes to accommodate for a gluten free meal. All the food was freshly prepared, Gujarati style. Simply delicious! 10/10 Will definitely return on our next visit to Chester.
