Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Delight in York

Jane Strachan

AMAZING! Great food, wonderful atmosphere, friendly and superbly knowledgeable about dietary requirements! Two coeliac diners! Our server, Tanya, was knowledgeable, friendly, pleasantly interactive and catered superbly to our two coeliac diners as well as accommodating a small appetite of our elderly dad. The food was superb, peppercorn sauce on the GF steak and the sauce with the seabass are off the scale. The smash burger went down a treat and the addition of the Baileys to the ice cream was quite luxurious! Wish there was one closer but will definitely be back! The decor and ambiance suited us well and, with one partially deaf diner, the atmosphere was perfect.

What can I say, You've not visited York until you have been to Drakes Fish n Chips Restaurant in the heart of the Old town, this small shop and sit down restaurant is a must for any visitor to the City. the menu is rather good and caters for Gluten options. although a little crowed in the seating areas to the rear it works with its warm and friendly atmosphere. My only wish is I would like to see them knock through into another room to make more space and cater for those with disability issues .

Good vegetarian and gluten-free options made this a better choice than some of the nearby restaurants. The food was good, the waiting staff were terrific, one dish was late because it had been accidentally missed but the cost was taken off the bill and didn't ruin our experience in the slightest. Had a great time, would visit again.

Zoe Mann

can’t believe how flavourful they made just chicken and rice! high praise for vegetable gyoza from my friend too and it was great to see lots of gluten free options available! definitely would come again, the courtyard seating is lovely in the sun and the staff were friendly.

If you are gluten free you HAVE to come here. the cakes are phenomenal. I don’t know about anyone else but I have this thing where I have to buy gf dessert to try when I find it because it’s rare to find good desserts and oh my gosh! I tried the coffee cake and the blackberry orange cake and WOW! literally fantastic - they had two more cake options I didn’t get but would have. I just got it to take it away but seems like a lovely place. great service too plus great pricing.

Vincent King

Great food in a lovely location. Large range of options for gluten free!!!

Julie Jones

Ate here yesterday afternoon. I am dairy and gluten free, which can cause a problem. Not here.. the food and service were excellent. The dairy and gluten free cheesecake was out of this world. Will definitely visit again when in York.

Jane Fenwick

This was amazing to visit for ceoliac disease, they were very knowledgeable and even have a dedicated gf frier for their chips :)

Becky Carr

Amazing gluten free options. Fast service and the staff are happy to answer questions about allergens that are in the food. Very impressed and now our favourite place to order food from.

Ell Price

Very nice steak and fries but needs more gluten free dishes on the menu will be back in July.

We organized a Christmas dinner at Ceasars with my students, an international group from different countries, over the weekend, and it was absolutely fantastic! Although the restaurant was quite busy, and the staff took great care of us. Among my students, there were those with gluten-free and vegan dietary requirements, and every single order was prepared and served with such care, precision, and efficiency. I want to extend my special thanks to the staff for their outstanding service despite the crowd. The food was simply amazing! Everyone was delighted. Ceasars is undoubtedly the go-to place in York for delicious pizza and pasta varieties. And the homemade tiramisu? Absolutely perfect! Ceasars will definitely be our first choice for future events. Thank you!

Megan Forrow

Went here for dinner and they had a good selection of gluten free battered items, including a vegan and gluten free fish and chips which was nice!

Claire F

Has a separate gluten free menu with items clearly labelled as being on set menu. Good set up in this regard. I really enjoyed my meal, but found the servings somewhat inconsistent. 3 of us had the beef rump, and all were different sizes and cooked differently, meaning some of my party did not enjoy their meals as much. Good cocktails and starters/desserts were nice. Waiting staff very accommodating.

Paul F

Had afternoon tea, two versions one for me and a gluten free version for my other half, the food was very good apart from the gluten free scone, but they replaced it with an alternative option

We visited York for a day trip as a family and, just like in other cities we’ve been to, we decided to go with Côte — and once again, it did not disappoint. If you ask me, the starters might be the weakest part of the meal — and I say that only because the mains and especially the desserts are so good that they outshine the rest. Still, everything we had was enjoyable. We had noted during our reservation that one of us has coeliac disease, and without even having to mention it when we sat down, they brought over a gluten-free menu. Huge thanks to the team for being so considerate and attentive. For starters, we went with the Camembert Brûlée and Calamari. As mains, we had the Confit Duck à l’Orange and Poulet Breton (corn-fed roasted half chicken) — both of which you can see in the photos. The gratin dauphinois served with the duck takes the whole dish to another level, and the duck itself was cooked to absolute perfection. On the side, I opted for the Green Salad, which might sound simple, but it’s incredibly tasty — the mustard vinaigrette deserves its own shoutout. Highly recommend trying it. For dessert, we chose the Lemongrass & Lime Leaf Crème Brûlée, Crème Caramel Classique, and Chocolate Mousse. Everything except the Crème Brûlée was an instant hit with us. While it was beautifully made in theory, the flavor combination just wasn’t to our taste. Côte once again nailed it. Fingers crossed the Manchester branch reopens soon so we don’t have to travel cities just to enjoy these amazing dishes!

Delicious food! The staff were lovely. Even though there was a mix up with my food, they happily changed it. Lovely for vegan and gluten free options

ANA JR

Lovely restaurant with delicious food. We were 2 adults and a toddler and had dinner on a Sarurday early evening. Restaurant was busy but not fully occupied, although we had a booking. Staff were very friendly and accomodating, specially with gluten free options for our child. Food was fantastic and although we didn't go for dessert (as we ended up quite full) the cake display looked appetizing. I would definitely recomend!!

Faye Mitchell

Sam was a brilliant waitress who accommodated for my gluten and dairy intolerance. The food was fresh and delicious. Lovely calm atmosphere. I have travelled to Vietnam and the food was authentic, Would come here again.

Amelia

Was a really great wagamama’s and the food was really delicious and fresh! Our server Mike was really kind and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed- especially as i’m gluten free :)

Ness T

Love Burgsy's! Our go to for amazing Burgers! Great service, intimate dining. GLUTEN FREE BUNS!! (That taste so good!) I promise you will love it! (Frequent visitor to York from down south)

Harriet Read

The staff were really great at accommodating celiac disease. Thank you 🙏

Catherine Lomax-boyeson

Amelia was amazing! Very clued up on gluten free options. She deserves a bottle of wine x

Grace Loveday

absolutely sensational! Got off the train after an extremely long day and headed over for a snack, extremely friendly welcome 🤗 could do everything on the menu with a gluten free version and their garlic sauce is to DIE FOR!

Sarah Graves

I rarely write negative reviews, but From the moment the food arrived, it was clear that flavor was not a priority. Everything we ordered—from the mushroom starter to the main course—was under-seasoned, lacking any real depth or character. The ingredients tasted like they’d come straight from a freezer and hadn’t been properly introduced to a spice rack. Even the simplest dishes, like the pasta, managed to be both overcooked and underwhelming. Service was polite but indifferent, which mirrored the food: functional, but with no real warmth or passion. They do offer a gluten-free menu, which might seem like a plus—unfortunately, it’s not one I’d recommend. The gluten-free options were just as bland as everything else, with no creativity or attention to texture or flavor. The drinks were the best part of the experience but still nothing to write home about With so many great dining options available, I can’t see myself returning. It’s one thing to serve simple food—it’s another to serve food that’s simply dull.

Served by Emin today. Super attentive and friendly service. Great food options for gluten free, vegan, veggie and meat eaters. Cocktails are delicious. 5 stars.

Lisa Cunningham

Pleasant setting, if a little bit disjointed in terms of the decor. The food is good, but felt over fancy, like tapas that was trying to hard to be posh. They do gluten free and have the items containing gluten marked. They don't have the items fried in the same fryer as gluten containing items marked on either the menu or the allergen listing on the web version of the menu with allergen filtering. The staff are very good and knowledgeable, but you will have to get more details if you are coeliac. The staff are very good and attentive.

Fliss Hamblyn

Food was fantastic. Deep and original flavours to each dish. The dozas were light a fluffy the fossgate beef a 'must try' starter. My number one Indian restaurant from now on. Also had a very nice gluten free beer called maharaja which was light and refreshing the perfect accompanyment. The service was helpful and prompt.

Niamh B

Not allergen friendly. The gluten free and dairy free food is not gluten or dairy free. My friend had a coeliac reaction and another had an anaphylactic shock.

The Stoic Lokean

Probably the best chip shop in York. It could only be made better by the addition of a cheese pie to their menu. Also offer Gluten Free but make sure you pre-order as this can take 30-minutes to prepare.

Amy Walker

Lovely experience as always at Pizza Express on Museum Street. Food was fast to arrive and our waitress was super friendly and helpful throughout. As a Coeliac UK accredited restaurant, I always feel safe eating here. Our waitress even went to double check that the garlic butter was still gluten free as the gf label was no longer on the menu for this item. There is also 25% student discount available 6 days a week which is a fantastic offering. Food delicious as usual. Will be back soon!

Vicki Mather

Super meal, staff knowledge on gluten free options. Will be going again.

Rebecca Cadney

Fantastic meal - almost all gluten free!

Ralph Henderson

Stayed one night on way home from Scotland. Room was comfortable with lovely appointed ensure. Ate evening meal and they were very accommodating for my gluten free requirements with most dishes being able to modify. Breakfast was excellent with even gluten free black pudding!

gem_h Hines

Erin was wonderful serving us tonight! The food was delicious and they gave us some great gluten free options too! Will be back again! Thanks Erin!

Katie Mcnamara

Great for coeliacs! They have lots of gluten free options available and even though they say they can’t guarantee no cross contamination, I am very sensitive and had no reaction. Absolutely would recommend for anyone who is gluten free.

Holly

We came here for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. It was our first visit and it was amazing! The food was so yummy, lovely presentation and definitely worth the money. The best dauphinoise potatoes we have ever had! I’m gluten free, and they were so accommodating and helpful! And I felt safe to eat which is always nice :)

Kay Hartwell

Great tasty food. Love that they have a separate gluten free menu. Connor who served us was professional & friendly. Had a lovely fun night with friends. Thank you.

Lizzie Morse

Great gluten free pizza. I mean REALLY GREAT! Service a little erratic, but friendly. Busy, even on a Tuesday.

Michele Salvatierra

Gluten free options. Was happy for the options as I am gluten intolerant. The food was ok. I think the service outshone the food. Ruby was a gem (pun intended) she made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. She was very attentive. Would recommend.

Sinead Lunn

Incredible food, amazing staff and great atmosphere! I'm a Londoner and pretty spoilt with great vegan food but this was by far the best I've ever had! Also a gluten free menu 🙏 My partner who's a meat eater also loved it! Also fantastic wine! 10/10

Izdihar Alsaif

Family friendly and gluten free bread .

Jasmine Fulcher

An absolute must visit if you are in York and want a romantic meal with amazing food! Me and my boyfriend find any excuse to go its that good! Also extremely accommodating for coeliacs and a gluten free diet, almost everything can be made gluten free on the menu (except pizza and pasta), the staff are very well informed on this too! The risotto is gorgeous! Staff are lovely and the atmosphere is wonderfully romantic and cosy! Boyfriend also says the cheese and pear pasta is the best meal he has ever had!!

Claire Koenig

Beautiful terrace overlooking the river which was a great spot for an excellent roast on a Sunday. First gluten free yorkshire pudding our coeliac has ever had as well!

Jamie Maltman

Fantastic food here. As I'm gluten intolerant, it's not always easy to find really nice food when out and about. To be able to have gluten-free garlic bread and a lasagne was great. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend.

Kevn Hawkins

Stopped on route to Scarborough and what an amazing breakfast. Best Gluten Free breakfast I have had in 10 years! Takes me back to being a child and stopping on the annual trip to Scarborough. You have to stop here. Excellent 👌

Shirley Day

Fantastic food, staff friendly. Gluten free options available
