Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Discover in Belfast

Jennifer Gazzillo

Such a solid spot in Belfast. We came here for lunch because the menu offered Vegan and Gluten Free options which I needed due to allergies and it was great. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive which is always appreciated, even down to the cocktails - FYI the spiced coconut margarita was so good!! Definitely worth a visit.

Server was excellent. I asked for a gluten free options and he gave me the menu and chatted to me about it. The atmosphere of the place was really good and the food was amazing. It's hard to find a good gluten free burger around and this place delivered

Fantastic food and being Gluten free was great to have different gluten free options

Hannah Young

Pizza was pretty good! The pepperoni was very thick (not my preference, but may be for others). Their gluten free crust was good. Service was kind.

Honestly one of the best Italian meals I’ve had, we arrived and went to the bar for a gin and tonic where the bar man took the time to tell us about a local gin and the meaning behind the name of it (jawbox) -totally worth a try… and the we were seated upstairs by a lovely chatty young lady. Our server named Josh was very attentive and kind. Now. When we arrived I said I was a coeliac, and I told the girl on the way to the table, but I forgot to tell poor Josh. So when our food arrive and I suspiciously asked, the poor lad had to take it all back. I felt like a total arse, not his fault at all, it was my fault, but he took it back and had it made fresh. He then apologised and brought us a complimentary Prosecco each. What a darling. I felt awful but he was so kind. Now let me tell you, I don’t eat Italian very often because of the gluten thing, but tonight my show was stopped and my fast was flabbered by the scallop gnocchi, honestly it was the best thing I’ve eaten in a restaurant in a decade. Staggering Well done to the chef, the best texture was unbelievable and the mix of flavours is like nothing I’ve had before. BRAVO!!! You honestly have made a grumpy coeliac very bloody happy. I would recommend this place to anyone who has a gluten intolerance and misses the beautiful texture of real Italian cuisine. I will be back. Thank you Josh, you are a darling x

This is my all time favorite for gluten free breakfast in Belfast. Their vegan gluten free fry is delicious and super filling. I have gluten and dairy allergies and this place caters for both, 10/10.

Awesome pizzeria! The place is small but well organized. The pizza was very good! I ordered the gluten-free option and it was delicious. They also serve nice wine. Staff is nice and prices are reasonable. Recommended!

Jenn Sharp

Love this place! There a ton of gluten free options. We got the sandwiches and they were amazing. Staff were kind and helpful and happy to be there. I am in a wheelchair and they were able to seat us without any problems. Highly recommend!

Stuarty Boy

Was surprised at the massive menu… joking, loved it 👌🏽 Had a cheese burger (medium well done) with sweet potato fries. My partner had a gluten cheese burger (medium done) and shoestring fries (skinny fries) The best option was she is Gluten intolerant, so we were happy we found the gluten free bun on the option for her, so I would recommend here, and would definitely come back

Niña Burbuja

Good place to eat if you are celiac. They have gluten-free food and they are careful. Good service. I went to eat late so I didn't have to wait to get in and they served me the food quickly. It is located inside the shopping center. The only thing I have to say is the cost. The food seemed expensive, but especially the drink. For a Coca-Cola and a small pizza it was almost €20

Vic

Pizza was nice, even the gluten free, but the waitress was deluded. Cold, very hard to catch her eye for a drink for the kids, no sense of customer experience

Indigo Blue

Another lovely lunch here with family .Friendly staff and pizzas lovely with gluten free choices.

Lauren Kane

I never normally leave a review for anywhere but I am obsessed with this place 😍!For so many reasons, I am coeliac and have dined breakfast lunch brunch and dinner and the options are amazing and delicious.The staff are superb so so kind so knowledgeable and lovely girl even reassured me that they use separate everything to make my meal and hoped I wouldn’t be worried ! I have been coeliac for 10 and a half years and never have I had so much reassurance from somewhere which is amazing as I feel so normal and relaxed which is rare when going out to eat with an allergy .The food is lovely so much choice which again is rare ! And it’s cheap what more could you want . This location is my favourite in Belfast as I have been to another one but the staff weren’t the same couldn’t recommend more ❤️

Victoria McC

Favourite place for a takeaway or a nice meal sitting in. All mains are completely gluten free and staff are very helpful. Food is excellent and is a constant for me!

Ana Betti Thompson

i said i was gluten intolerant from the moment i walked in, when i ordered my food and asked if the soup was gluten free it seemed majorly out of the servers way to do that for me, she said she’d ask. She never came back, ordered the soup and fries i asked for, not letting me know if they were gluten free or not. had to ask a different server to go and check twice about the fries and soup, after they had arrived. I wasn’t given the soup options it was chosen for me, again not knowing at this point if it was gluten free. I didn’t feel that welcome by who was serving me and i’m pretty sure i was over charged. Everyone else lovely and lovely cafe but i didn’t enjoy my time there.

Izzy Evans

amazing service, staff were lovely and food was well priced for what you got. the gluten-free options were absolutely phenomenal and i’d highly recommend for anyone coeliac!! also just great vibes. the only fault is the toilets are only accessible by stairs, but other than that it was fabulous.

Billy McKay

I like Sainsbury's it has a good range of gluten free options but it would be nice if it carried more ambient products like some other Sainsbury's.

Marc Graham

Great Tapas, thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of options for my wife to eat (gluten free), all tasted great, very helpful staff. Recommended.

Erika Vansevičiūtė

Super pleasant staff. Gluten free options and great great food!!! Really enjoyed it!

Catherine Naoise McG

Delicious food 😍 great gluten free and dairy free options. Friendly staff. Could be more spacious

Amy McMullen

Amazing food & service every time here! Delicious menu with great options and a willingness to make adjustments for various dietary requirements, including veggie, gluten-free, and with a dedicated vegan menu. And also picture-perfect presentation! Upbeat, friendly atmosphere, tunes on the go, and if you're lucky, you might have a wee doggie seated nearby! The effort that goes into this place is evident and I'm pretty certain that anyone who gives it a try soon becomes a regular.

Chris

Excellent place with great atmosphere, service and food. They were very welcoming to me and my dog. Good gluten free options on menu and they even have a doggy menu!

Chris Austin

Nice pizza with gluten free option. About £20/person

Mika Colquhoun

Sorry.. nothing gluten free means no sensitivity towards celiac.

Katie H

If you're in belfast you have to go to maggie mays for lunch, they have 3 locations with the nicest staff and best food. A wide variety of vegetarian, vegan and also gluten free food is provided. Definitely one of Belfast's most iconic cafes. They provide a range of food so there will definitely be something for everyone!

Had our wedding anniversary celebration here. Loved it. Food.... steak amazing and reflective of the price...probably the best I've had so far. Wife was happy with the curry dish. Good menu with very good gluten free options Desserts very good too Drinks...great choice of beers, wines and cocktails. Staff...waiting staff are great. Funny but sincere and very interactive Surroundings...we sat wondering what the building was before...like years ago as it is modern but has kept the old coving and plaster faces at the ceiling. Kitchen staff punctured to look after everyone as you can clearly see them working away but overall a brilliant atmosphere. Five star in my book. I will be back very soon. Thanks for making our anniversary a memorable one.

I recently visited tribal burger with my family after reading good reviews about their gluten free options. I asked about the options when I got to the till to order and was assured they had separate fryers for the chips + chicken. I ordered a beef burger with bacon + chips, when my meal arrived it had 'GF' hand written on it and the lady stated it was gluten free but my bap looked exactly like everyone else's (they aren't gf). I'm extremely fussy so I removed the fat of the bacon in the burger and was hesitant to eat it as the bap was the same so I took it to the till and asked the manager was it definitely gf, he told me it was not he'll get it sorted. He brought me a new burger down in minutes, I opened it up and it was the same patty + bacon from the one before! No awareness of cross contamination! Covered in crumbs my partner then took it back up where the chef said 'it's a whole new burger'. I know it wasn't, it was cold and had the same bacon I had dissected beforehand. To give someone gluten by mistake is bad enough but to know you done it a second time is so careless, It's very worrying and disappointing how bad their Knowledge is about gluten and how serious it can be if ingested, this is not a choice but a health + dietary requirement and people like me would rather you didn't offer the gluten free option if you can't do it right and safely. The manager was not rude but really just didn't care when we were tying to explain how serious it was what his staff had done, I was an inconvenience.

I found this restaurant on Google maps because it was close to the Opera House where I was going after the meal and it catered for gluten free people which my friend is On entering the restaurant I was greeted by one of the staff who showed me and my friend to the table. We chose from the Pre Theatre menu at £29.50 for 3 courses plus £5.75 for a glass of house red wine. I ordered leek and potato soup with bread, for the main course I ordered a 6oz Irish beef burger with bacon and cheese, chunky chips and a rocket salad, then apple crumble and ice cream.... My friend had vegetable fitters with pesto, then chicken breast with peppercorn sauce, champ and vegetables, then lemon posset and ice cream. Mmm great food, great service and great atmosphere. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jacqui L

Trust menu, 5 courses with 4 wines to accompany. Small courses but altogether quite filling. You get to guess what is in each course and after you finish the waiter/waitress tells you what it was. They cater for gluten free etc

Archie MacColl-Smith

One of the best Italian restaurants! Pizzas are exceptional. And they have tons of gluten free options too

Alan Mackey

Good food, love the oysters and squid. Very good service and they were able to easily cater for my wife, who is Gluten Free

Angela Redmond

Called into Maudes to check if they had a gluten free menu..They had GF sourdough so I ordered an open sandwich and my wife had corn fritters.We waited a while but the place was busy and it was worth the wait.The food was delicious and there was loads of it.Great value.The staff are lovely too..we will be back.

Catherine Gordon

Just had a lunch with friends for my husband’s birthday. The service was good and good choice on the menu, including gluten free for me. Highly recommend.

Kate Moloney

Great tapas spot! Probably 90% of the menu was available / adaptable to be gluten free and staff were very knowledgeable and attentive to dietary requirements. Food was really tasty and cocktails were fab! Would highly recommend.

Jo Bunnell Thompson

Very nice food and service. Had the club sandwich with gluten free bread. Super fresh salad - perfect bacon - chicken a little dry.

Mariann Gilicze

Cyprus Avenue is hands down my favourite place for a Sunday lunch in East Belfast. The menu, presentation, service, ingredients are creative, fresh and flawless. Seafood and vegan options are spot on. My celiac friend has never had any issues with GF and DF options. Coffee is great with dairy free alternatives. I love their outdoor seating on a sunny day. Honestly, it's a joy to be there from 'hello' to 'see you soon'. Roadside parking is the only little thing I could do without; it's hard to find a spot nearby on a busy day. Five stars overall. (Sorry, no pics atm. I'm always so excited to eat there that I dig in straight away. I'll have to remember to take some photos next time :)

Erin

Amazing service and great food as always! Staff had a strong awareness about coeliac disease and even offered to change the oil to make sure there was no cross contamination when making tortilla chips.

Joey Fennell

This place is an absolute gem! From the second we walked in we were greeted an seated an the menu read to us with portion sizes and what goes with what! My partner has allergens to gluten an diary when the waitor/stand in manager heard this he went straight to the kitchen an told my partner what she could have on the menu! He treated her with so much respect that she felt "normal" as most places make her feel alienated due to her allergies... the waitor/stand in manager was fantastic the food & cocktails was absolutely incredible I had the pork sharing plater which was cooked to perfection and portion sizes were perfect! My partner doubled up with a grilled chicken burger an the amazing beef cooked fries! Not an *influencer* or anything special! I would definitely go back an have told all my friends the same! Thank you for making our first time there my birthday & our anniversary perfect! Until next time meat wagon! Keep doing your thing! 15/10 amazing!

Siena Loprinzi

Absolutely favorite place to eat in Belfast! They do an amazing job with gluten free food. I have a gluten allergy and I had the best experience here.

Peter Mitchell

Incredible . Total carnivore . Would never have believed such wizardry was possible with plants to produce such awesome flavours . Superb for gluten free . Shockingly good .

Sara Beck

Ordered gluten free dough balls for 4 servings, I was sent 10 dough balls. Have ordered this before and it was a ton of them. This time not so much. Charged 15 pounds for 10 small balls of bread. Totally ridiculous and the phone number to contact the store is not working. Very disappointed.

Chela Rezki

Amazing gluten free ramen!!

Jessica Stensrud

Very tasty veggie breakfast, spiced chai latte , fresh squeezed O.J. and more things I want to try! Gluten free options- cosy, friendly place 😍

Caoimhe Farren

We called in here on Monday evening for a family meal and we were very impressed. We had a coeliac with us and were pleased to find out they had a dedicated gluten free menu and also loads of gluten free options on the main menu. The prices were great and the food was beautiful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good priced beautiful meal in Belfast and to anyone with any food allergies or intolerances. The staff were so accommodating and friendly. The bar itself was lovely and super cosy. Also if you like chicken wings this is the place to go, the wings were super crispy but also super saucy at the same time which I find it so hard to get anywhere.

Beth McConnell

gluten free bread available for stuff like poached egg toast or soup!! quite small however! gluten free sweet treats depend on week but was super nice

John Gallagher

Wow. A fantastic Italian. Every time I go here I'm impressed with the service but most of all the food. I had a tomato based dish (sorry can't remember which!) and it was out of this world. The meatballs starter was seriously tasty too. Goats cheese polenta which we've had before is very good too. My partner had carbonara and was less impressed - she said it was OK but not amazing. However that's her experience and mine was epic so giving this five stars. They do the best 0% beer - Heineken - on draft. Best 0% beer I've ever tasted. They even do gluten free pasta. If you're into Italian food, I don't think you'll be disappointed (although I've never been to Italy so take that with a grain of salt maybe!)

Rhonda Lu

The quality of food is excellent. It is well cooked and presented. They manage to provide a huge number of varied meals well. Service is very good and attentive. We had a gluten free diner with us and they were very helpful and spent time ensuring she felt well provided for and secure in their processes. It can be loud which might be off putting for some. There were two large groups celebrating when we were there. The staff coped with them well.

Ray

Great coffee with an excellent range of gluten free treats, what's not to love

Pattie Delaney

Fantastic restaurant with amazing food and service. Many gluten free options. Highly recommend.

Sophie Henderson

I'm coeliac and I went to order something I was told was gluten free only to have them return a few times to tell me things in it weren't actually gluten free. Then I was told I could only substitute things if I was going to pay for then as add ons. This greatly increased the price. Also was extremely salty
