Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Enjoy 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.

The coeliac pizza is flatbread not pizza! .. Not the nicest pizza I’ve every had, but it’s a decent option. They have a gluten free pizza which is cooked in the same oven as regular pizzas, but they have a coeliac “pizza” which is basically a flatbread.

Pho’s menu is 98% gluten free and has been accredited by coeliac UK for the last 9 years. The food is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend

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 !

The gluten free menu here is HUGE! The lounge restaurants can be found in every major city and there’s something for everyone. I usually go for lunch and have a gluten free sandwich. Their bread is cooked separately and so are their fries. The staff are great with allergens.

Food was fantastic my wife is a coeliac, our server Alex T was very attentive and we ordered off the GF menu, we will definitely be returning. Fabulous

Amanda Flanagan

Went for an early mid week tea. There was a separate Gluten Free Menu with plenty of options and the allergen handling was clearly explained, I ordered a smoothie and the staff member made sure all the equipment was swapped out before making. Food was delicious and speedy. Items were also clearly labelled with allergen markers which was reassuring. Can't wait to go back and try something else from the menu!

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! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Alanah Moulsdale

Accredited by coeliac UK. Gluten free menu available, including wings, nachos, steaks, salads and burgers.

Alanah Moulsdale

They have a gluten free menu, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. They are very careful with coeliac disease and made sure my food was cooked separately.

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?

Came here for takeaway for 3 on a late Sunday afternoon as my daughter is Coeliac. Had the cod and chips with mushy peas and curry sauces. The staff were friendly and the fish was delicious, even after a 30 minute drive back to North Manchester. I’d definitely buy from this takeaway again but beware of the parking cameras which monitor the road outside the shop as they allow only 15 minutes and we nearly exceeded this despite it being a quiet time

They don’t have a separate gluten free menu but almost everything can be made gluten free except from 2 or 3 dishes. They do have gluten in the kitchen so cross contamination is a possibility even if they take every precaution. Had the avocado on toast with poached egg for breakfast and a coconut flat white. The avocado on toast came with GF brioche bread which was very nice. The dish itself was nicely prepared with some lovely flavours. I’m a bit of a coffee snob and found the flat white was quite average. If I lived in Manchester I would definitely go back to try other dishes on the menu.

Cellie Auger

nice place with tasty gluten free pasta

Sam Stone

We ate here as a group of 8 work colleagues for an evening meal and we all had a great time. I had booked a table in advance which was lucky as the restaurant was full when we arrived (apart from our booked table!) The woman serving our table was very nice and friendly throughout the whole meal. As long as you like pizza the menu is perfect! Many choices of different pizzas. I love Neapolitan pizza but it still requires good ingredients and skill to cook it correctly. And this place did not disappoint! Pizza was cooked perfectly. Lovely tomato sauce. Perfect amount of toppings. And most important amazing dough with just the right thickness around the edges. One of our party is gluten free, and he said his pizza was one of the best he'd had. (There are many pizza restaurants in town, and when I was making this booking I had narrowed it down to two places but I chose here because my other choice didn't do gluten free bases at all) Everyone had a really good meal and I would definitely come back here for more pizza.

Phillip Morgan

I always love the Tea Hive, they serve great tea and coffee, plus a really good selection of cakes, many of which come as Vegan or Gluten free. The food is always fantastic, plentiful portion sizes with fresh, quality ingredients

Charles Goff

Great gluten-free menu, nice venue.

Alanah Moulsdale

They have some lovely gluten free brunch options available and a dedicated gluten free toaster for the bread. We go here every other weekend for brunch.

Alanah Moulsdale

Although they don’t advertise gluten free, most of their menu is naturally gluten free. They are amazing when it come to cross contamination, and they do have gluten free crackers available for one of their sides.

Ruaridh Williams

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

Ashleigh Tara

We had Simon serving us, he was friendly and super helpful. I am coeliac and had a gluten free pizza, fries and brownie which were all delicious. Best gluten free pizza outside of Italy! No photos as I was too excited to eat it. My boyfriend says the strawberry ice cream is lovely too.

Sonja Hartwig

Jannah has been AMAZING!!!!! She took care of our gluteness needs in such a warm and welcoming non judgmental way… quiet encouraging. It has been one of the best dinner experiences we have had in a long time. Thank you. ♥️💋♥️💋

I have had mixed experiences. Half of the time I've had an incredible gluten free pizza, the other half it was thin and rock hard. If the experience was more consistent, the high price would be justified, but unfortunately it's a gamble every time I order

Rowanne Dinning

We had a lovely time at Namii, after I was gifted a voucher by friends for my birthday. CC and our other server with the bright pink hair (apologies forgotten your name) were very welcoming, accommodating and friendly. CC offered to take pictures of my partner and I which was appreciated. The food was delicious, and I was gifted a free dessert as I said I was here with a voucher I received for my birthday. Several meals looked great, and they are very accommodating for gluten free eaters like me, and vegetarians/vegans

Victoria Round

Very good food and great service, Josh the waiter was very kind and understanding of my coeliac disease and every other member of staff we spoke to was friendly and approachable

Alanah Moulsdale

Everything on their menu is 100% gluten free. They are stationed next to a pizza stand so they do make people aware that there could be flour in the air. I’ve eaten here a number of times and been fine. They’re the best tacos in town.

Simone Algisi

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

John O'Hare

Lovely food and great for gluten free

Tegan Carney

We were welcomed immediately upon entering and our server MyMint was friendly and efficient. One of our party is coeliac and the other is allergic to mustard, so dining out can be very stressful, but the detailed allergen menu and MyMint's confidence with asking about allergies left us feeling reassured and relaxed to enjoy our meal. It was a fantastic experience and I'd love to come back to explore more of the menu.

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!

My favourite place for pasta in Manchester. I found both traditional and revised recipes.

susan collins

Disappointing. Had a gluten free pizza. Tomato sauce and cheese were sparse with some ham and mushrooms Ate less than half. Offered free dessert. An Italian restaurant which is unable to create a pizza is to be avoided. Won't be back.

Victoria Coleman

Lovely, staff really helpful, happy and nice to talk to. I'm celiac and felt well looked after, thank you. Served by Simon chef was Steven.

Liz Booth

Wow wow wow what amazing authentic Vietnamese food took me back to our visit to the lovely country a few years ago. I am coeliac and thought I had died and gone to heaven I had soft shell crab, spring rolls crispy chicken and lotus crisps and phoe soup. All amazing flavours and beautiful xxx

Adhvaidhi

The place is and will always be amazing!! Budget friendly food and the best cocktails. We went for dinner and genuinely had a great time!! The food is finger liking good, and the best part is they got a gluten-free menu and vegan menu catering to our needs. The cocktails were simply amazing xx. The waiting staff were great, too. A bit loud with the music, but apart from that, it's really good. Definitely recommend.

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.

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!

Yvonne Rogers

Staff were friendly and were careful to understand my allergy requirements. Lots of gluten free options and the dosa was amazing!

Ashleigh Wilson

Prebooked a 2 course Christmas meal with friends. Mainly due to gluten free options available. Food was delicious. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Extensive drinks menu - i tried a few coctails and tye salted caramel martini was amazing! Absolutely will be back in the new year.

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.

Manaal Mukhtar

I found this gem during my search for gluten-free and eggless desserts. Arun was extremely helpful and gave recommendations based on my allergies. The gluten-free chocolate brownie with eggless ice cream was exactly the treat I was looking for!

Alanah Moulsdale

Accredited by coeliac UK, they have a dedicated gluten free menu with lots of tasty options.

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!

Thibaut

Went for the breakfast and it was as expected: very good! Make sure to come early or to book a table (I don’t know if they take reservations) because it can take some time to get a table. Of course there are several vegetarian and vegan options as well as gluten-free!

Macartney Forbes

Brilliant birthday dinner, expertly served by Carmen from Bilbao. Drinks at the bar, including 0.0% and gluten free options. Quite the best steaks we both have eaten, probably ever. A rare fillet and medium ribeye, cooked and seasoned to perfection. Highly recommend the creamy spinach and we also had delicious fries. The jus served with the ribeye was delicious GF alternative to some of the sauces. Side of maple bacon was an excellent sweet aside. 10/10 to Carmen for attentive, friendly, smiley service.

Chris OH (Chris)

The food was delicious and fresh! Even the salad with the crackers tasted good. We had a friend who needed gluten free and it was accommodated so well. I really enjoyed the pineapple fried rice. Inside a pineapple!

Joshua Doherty

Great tasting gluten free options just a bit pricy.

Susannah Watts

Outstanding. I am gluten intolerant and they have a separate menu. The staff are friendly and helpful and it doesn’t feel fake! The food was delicious especially the potato hash. Very convenient for the station and just an all round great experience. So happy we found it!

The gluten free pizza was horrible. I was really excited to have porchetta, but it was not worth it. The toppings are good quality, but the dough ruins the whole experience. I couldn't finish it.
