Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots Across York

Dai Palfrey

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 .

Really enjoyed our meal here. Staff are brilliant, and their gluten-free options are delicious. I had the sea bass, which was great. Cocktails are a little sweet for my liking. I removed a star as the ladies' toilets were out of service, but otherwise, it was faultless.

Good gluten free sandwich selection and chips with lots of cakes

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.

I chanced upon this gem while strolling by, and I'm so glad I did! The food was top-notch, with the vegan, gluten-free pizza, dairy and vegan vanilla ice cream and crème brûlée being standouts, perfectly presented and delicious. The service was equally impressive; the team was friendly and attentive, making sure we enjoyed every moment. The atmosphere was lovely, and everything was spotlessly clean. I can't recommend it enough and can't wait to visit another of their restaurants!

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.

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

Claire Koenig

Great place and very good for those needing gluten free lunch and cake!

Formula food lacks taste and style. Team service very good. Good gluten free options.

Lissy “Lysander” Howdle

Great fish and chips, felt self ordering Gluten Free as staff were very knowledgeable about cross contamination. Lovely fresh fish and crispy chips and batter.The eating space upstairs was quiet but the chair cushions were a little worse for wear. The only downside is we could use the toilet as it's cleanliness was not quite up to standard. We will definitely be back!

Olivia Holloway-Lee

The cafe is AMAZING. I am gluten-free and my friend is vegetarian and we were spoilt for choice. The chai and matcha were both so good, and the hot honey halloumi hash brown stack was possibly the best brunch I've ever had. The cafe is aesthetically lovely and the dog picture walls are so adorable. The staff are lovely too, so friendly and approachable - this place is a solid 10/10.

Ell Price

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

Jane Fenwick

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

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.

david parsons

Anne was a fantastic server with great knowledge of the menus for my wife who is gluten intolerant, our drinks were kept topped up and the food was amazing. 🤩

Bex B

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.

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.

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 :)

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!

Harriet Read

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

Tasha Kelly

Amazing value for money, fantastic service especially by Ellie and the other 2 that served us 😀 great knowledge on the dietry requirements for my meal from Scott 😀 Thursday night deal was such value for money!

Rebecca Cadney

Fantastic meal - almost all gluten free!

Delores James

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

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!

Jay D

Tasty gluten free burger with loaded fries and excellent service. Thank you

Emma Macintosh

Such a delicious hearty meal, thank you, and a dedicated gluten free menu which I always love. Benjamin our waiter was great - attentive, warm and funny. Great spot!

Helena Carstens

Lovely restaurant in York. Fabulous service and food especially for my intolerance to dairy, gluten and crustaceans. Enjoyed the meal.

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.

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.

James Bryson

This place did not disappoint! Im a big fan of BBQ food, so it's great to find a place that does it right! They even cater for coeliacs, which is brilliant! The BBQ pulled pork tasted amazing and the shake on the chips is delicious. I will be going back to try the trays, im looking forward to the ribs and wings. I highly recommend going here to sample some amazing BBQ food!

Madison Slack

Had a really lovely time at Zizzi’s in York. Our waitress Liv helped us when we were unsure on what to order as one of our friends has a gluten intolerance. She had patience and ran through all the options with him and made our experience amazing. The food we received was excellent and we are definitely returning when we visit York again ☺️

ANA JR

We went at the beginning of April, it was 2 adults and a toddler. We arrived for lunch time without booking and we just had to wait a few minutes. Needed gluten free options and they were happy to accomodate, advising us whether something might have través of gluten. I had the Persian eggs and my partner the chicken shawarma, toddler needed gluten free option. Everything was delicious and the place quite lovely. I would definitely recomend.

Vicki Mather

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

Kay Crawford

This place was well decorated and had such a lively atmosphere. Our servers were really nice and our food arrived pretty quick. They have plenty of gluten free options available here and I really enjoyed my GF pizza. I would definitely recommend for an enjoyable and affordable meal.

Militia Black

First time eating here (but have seen their desserts on Deliveroo and been tempted for a while), lovely decor and plenty of tables. We arrived and seemed to be the only people there at first, which was fine, better than feeling crowded, Nisa was lovely and welcoming, and gave us the pick of anywhere we wanted to sit. I was given a thorough allergen guide, as I needed gluten free, to check against the menu and Nisa gave me a run down of all my options saying they can easily build plate to avoid anything with gluten too. I chose the American waffle with toppings as I love when places cater for gluten free on dishes you wouldn’t normally find gluten free… this was so delicious! My fiancé had a “croffle” dish as a mix between a croissant and a waffle sounded very his sort of thing. Overall it was lovely food, good prices for the size of the dishes, pretty decor, very clean and tidy and Nisa was very helpful and friendly as our server. We will come again!

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.

Chloe H

Had a good choice of gluten free options on the menu, but it felt like the waiter taking my order didn't take my intolerance seriously enough. The food itself was ok, although some dishes were cold upon arrival at the table.

Michael Willis

£2 extra for gluten free is an absolute rip off. Taking advantage of people with food intolerancea. Won't be eating here again

Beth Gilde-Young

Really nice little cafe. We popped in for coffee and breakfast. The gluten free and vegetarian options were great. Scrambled eggs on gluten free toast was very nice.

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!

Richard Beverley

Called in for some chips .Wife spotted the gluten free fish and chips so we placed a order of cips and curry sauce for two and the gluten free fish and chips. There is a wait of 30 mins approximately for the gluten free option as it is cook separately from all other food. The portions were outstanding and plentiful and the wife said it was the best gluten free fish and chips she has had . The staff were very helpful and the prices are very competitive. Would definitely recommend this fish and chip shop. If you do have coeliac the staff recommend pre ordering the gluten options so as you do not have to wait.

Eleanor Kilty

Delicious and sweet gluten free options !!

Anna Barton

The food was fantastic. We all had pizzas and one was a gluten free base. Staff are so helpful and friendly. Incredibly dog friendly. The outside seating area is luxurious with wicker arm chairs covered in faux sheepskin and cushions; bunting galore and creative/abstract and fun decoration. Definitely will visit again.

Sophie Griffiths

Amazing food, warm and friendly atmosphere, even on a Monday night it was full of people! Pucca who was serving us was very attentive 😊 please come here if you get the chance! Brilliant place for gluten free options too!

I was looking for somewhere close to the Barbican as we were attending a show there and didn’t want to drive home in potentially poor weather in December. I knew the Rose and Crown was close and had a quick look at reviews; I was won over very quickly by glowing reviews of both the accommodation and the food. I loved everything about the Rose and Crown - big room with a spacious en-suite, lovely fluffy towels, lots of easily accessible sockets, ample tea and coffee supplies and a very comfortable bed. The food was delicious with gluten free and vegan options. I had a difficult time deciding what to eat; I opted for a cheeseburger with gluten free bread, but the leek and celeriac pie with a jug of cheese sauce was very tempting. The burger came with the Rose and Crown signature chips ( the size of fishfingers!) Breakfast was also delicious and included in the price of the night’s stay. There was a good selection of cereals, fruit and yoghurt in addition to the cooked options. Tea, coffee and 3 fruit juices were also available. I opted for a full English breakfast with gluten free toast; it was so big I couldn’t manage it all, orange juice and a pot of tea. The staff were all lovely; Christopher is a great host.

Nice gluten free options with galettes, delicious food. Be prepared to wait as can get busy!

Jen P

Very very good ice cream, quite cool atmosphere and very pleasant service. For allergies such as gluten-free, they are attentive but it is not perfect (they do not change the spoon for example, also the gluten-free cakes are mixed with the others in the displays).
