Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Delight in Bournemouth

SAM JOY

Love the lounge wherever they are! Great for me as I’m gluten free. I get a dedicated GF menu! Plus there’s vegan & regular food to cater for everyone!

Great experience- dog friendly and catering for what looked like all dietary needs. Staff friendly Gluten free has its own separate menu on request at the bar which is very comprehensive. They mark up the dishes as GF when serving so no mix ups. Pictures attached show the gf burger looks (and tasted) great with no difference to main menu. Fantastic and thank you!

Ellie Falloon

A great restaurant who knows their allergens! Feel very safe eating here

My Celiac partner was glutened here, would not recommend. For reference we both had beef burgers.

Ellie Falloon

Very accommodating with gluten free pizza and it was delicious. Also had gluten free beer on the menu!

James Wythe

Comfort food made with high quality ingredients. No menu, just turn up and have the bowl of the day! Completely gluten free and vegan cafe.

Sarah Clarke

Delicious vegan food..huge portions! We got served super quick. Gluten free options too.

Mark H

They charged me £13.85 for a gluten-free cod (standard), on it's own, no chips. So overpriced it's ridiculous. On deliveroo they put chips in all the pictures to think you're getting chips with them, but you don't! Avoid. Will never go back.

After a long time, I finally found a restaurant where I can eat with confidence. Ms. Debbrah was incredibly attentive, taking all of my allergies into consideration and accommodating my requests with great care. I highly recommend this place—especially for those with coeliac disease. It was an experience that far exceeded my expectations, both in terms of hygiene and understanding. Gluten free- Dairy free menu

Katy

Lovely place and the BEST gluten free pizza I have ever had! Friendly, well priced and quick to serve food - overall great experience.

Ki Price

We’re gluten free - We came down on a visit to Bournemouth and saw the reviews. The GF bases on the Pizzas were big and tasty pizzas were great as was the service. Would definitely come again.

Jackamundo87

Fast and polite service from Oliver, pizza was amazing and the banana blossom was a brilliant gluten free and veggie alternative! Would love to come again!

Lara Chammas

Cozy restaurant that had a separate gluten free menu! I enjoyed an excellent mussel and fries in the beautiful restaurant

Lee Oades

Called them up to enquire about gluten free options. The chap was knowledgeable and friendly. The food took a while to come via Deliveroo but the app kept us informed. My Mum enjoyed her gluten free Chicken shish and salad. My partner said her prawn dish was tasty and I enjoyed my roast vegetables with beef and lamb kofka. Those three dishes cost £48 so not the cheapest but decent sized portions and all delicious.

James Wythe

Great selection of gluten free dishes. The battered tofu is my favourite. Completely vegan menu. Owners are awesome too!

Nomes

As a coeliac there is a good choice - not just one option.

Mark Vincent

Lovely fish and chips. Also does gluten free fish batter.

Lara Chammas

Great place to have breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack overlooking the cliffs and ocean! Had plenty of gluten free options including bread to enjoy a delicious sandwich.

Guys Who Dine

Is this the best cafe/bar in Bournemouth? Although we were staying in a hotel that does a very nice breakfast,we prefer to eat later without getting up too early. Just a short walk through town and up to the Triangle. The interior is bright and possibly a little camp. Think pink & neon and maybe a flamingo lurking somewhere with a bit a glam. There's wooden table's & chairs, as well as comfy sofas to sink into. It's a very friendly and welcoming space. You can just have a coffee,or choose from an array of freshly prepared food. Whatever side of the fence you are,gluten free,veggie,vegan,they cater to all tastes. But we're not any of those. An all day breakfast is what we are craving. As you enter,find an available seat to settle into and place your order at the counter. This can be difficult at times,as it's a very sort after spot. The breakfast is freshly cooked to order and arrives at the table in no-time. The highlight has got to be the very tasty sausages. At £9.25,it's quite good value. In fact all their prices are very reasonable for the quality and service. In the evening they have different events as well. Our only problem is,when we bring our boys,that's doggies. We can't get out of the place. As so many people want to say hello to them. This is truly the friendliest and best cafe in Bournemouth where everyone is welcome. Oh,and our boys love all the attention.

Prezzo offers a modern and stylish setting, with a neutral palette of greys and earthy tones creating a calm and contemporary atmosphere. It’s an inviting space, but when it comes to the food, I expected a bit more. We ordered a gluten-free pasta and a Margherita pizza, both of which were decent but unremarkable—the kind of dishes you could find just about anywhere. For a brand like Prezzo, I anticipated a higher level of quality and flavour, but the execution felt standard rather than special. That said, the service was excellent. The staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring a smooth and pleasant dining experience. While the food didn’t impress, the service certainly did.

Ellie Falloon

Not eaten in here yet, but noticed an amazing variety of GF cakes when I grabbed a quick drink!

Beatriz Silvestre

It's a shame I can't eat the fries, as they're not coeliac safe - perhaps something to consider for the future? Lovely burgers anyway, and it was refreshing to see how knowledgeable staff were about coeliac disease and what I can and can't eat. Very appreciated!

Beatriz Silvestre

Went there for lunch a few weeks ago and was advised by staff on what I could and couldn't have, as I'm gluten free (coeliac). Portions are huge and whilst I wasn't mind-blown by the food, it was okay and I didn't have any reactions to it!

Food Blogger

I had a wonderful dining experience, thanks to Harriet, our waitress. She was incredibly attentive and made sure to double-check that my meal was completely gluten-free, which I truly appreciated. Her care and attention to detail made me feel at ease and able to enjoy my meal without worry. Harriet’s friendly demeanor and professionalism really stood out, and I highly recommend her for anyone who values excellent service. Thank you, Harriet, for going the extra mile!

Caz C

Really tasty gluten free and dairy free beef and horseradish sandwich, the bread was so soft! The staff were kind and helpful too 😊

Lara Chammas

Had two great dinners here during my staff in Southbourne. While you end up having a lot of dishes, the food was tasty and locally sourced which I loved. Most of the menu was also gluten free, or able to be adapted, which meant I had plenty to choose from! Service was also great and friendly and gave lots of recommendations for the area

Callum Brooks

Incredible tasty authentic Mexican food, this is the best place to go if you’re craving a Mexican, stuff super friendly and helpful too! Everything can also be gluten free pretty much and it’s so nice to go somewhere where you don’t have to worry.

Keeley Sissons

I had high expectations after reading multiple positive reviews, so I was disappointed not to be able to give 5 stars. The gluten free menu only works if you don't have other intolerances and like halloumi and spinach. I ended up building my own breakfast. 2 rashers of bacon 1 poached egg 2 halves of tomato 1 portion baked beans (looked like 1/2 portion) 1 slice gluten-free bread (toasted) How much do you think that ought to cost? Now, I know I'm a Yorkshire lass and this cafe is in Bournemouth, but £8.50... that's a bit steep and worthy of an "'Ow much?" Everything about the Olive Cafe is distinctly average. For me personally, charging prices like £8.50 for a barely there breakfast is a bit cheeky. Either improve the quality and portion size or reduce the amount you charge.

Beatriz Silvestre

I've ordered twice now as a coeliac and they've always been able to accommodate for my gluten free request. They do advise that they cannot guarantee that it's 100% safe but they take precautions, so I took the risk and never had any problems. Not fantastic pizza in my opinion but I don't tend to be amazed by pizza in general, so take my comment with a pinch of salt. My partner loved his though (non gluten free)!

Sasha Tanner

Lovely place. Able to seat us from walk in. Went here as company are accredited by Coeliac UK for their gluten free menu. Great place for our kids too for a special birthday treat with friends we don't see very often. Got crayons and activity sheet for them. Especially great at the time as kids eat free offer was on

Hekla Helgadottir

Great selection at breakfast at a reasonable price. The fresh omelette maker was a hit, the service was impeccable and the fact that they had gluten free options on request (at least gf corn flakes and bread) as well as knowledge at hand of which cooked breakfast items were gluten free (all but sausages) was brilliant!

Rebecca Weigh

Popped in today for the first time as often mentioned on Facebook about how good it is. As I'm gluten free I often struggle to find places I can eat normal food rather than limited choices so emailed Dave ahead to check. Replied straight back and even offered to make a gf brownie to satisfy my sweet tooth! How accommodating! Food was excellent, fresh and hot. Brownie was Amazing! Let me know when you do it again can I buy some to bring home !! Thank you and will definitely be added to my list of places to head back too!

Barry Greenwood

10 of us and 2 dogs went for lunch having prebooked. Table arranged so that we were not or did nor disturb others! Very friendly and attentive staff both on booking and during the meal. Food well cooked and generous portions catering for vegetarian and gluten fee requirements as well as an age range of 15 to 80. Great views We will return. Many thanks

Bhavna Mistry

The food is great. They have a great selection of gluten free and vegetarian food and very tasty.

JadeLily Thompson

Lily was an amazing waitress and was really helpful when it came to my gluten intolerance, would highly recommend coming here for service.

Sam Wilsden

Empanadas were some of the best gluten free food I've ever had. Lovely staff, and you feel like you've completely escaped the businesses of Boscombe when you sit inside. Lovely aesthetic inside, with lots of plants and lots of colour.

Alex Smith

Expensive but very good food. Excellent Gluten free and Vegan options.

Sarah Copplestone

Great Thai, with an extensive menu and lots of options for gluten free as well. It's not the cheapest, but I think it's worth the money. The atmosphere is good, and the service was quick. Love the little booths and music was decent too. Good date venue too.

Kevin Gilling

Great end of pier cafe, staff friendly and helpful. Good coffee for the money and gluten free options.

Neetul Shah

Delicious pasta at Gossip. Gluten free & vegan options as well as kids size portions too.

Nathan William

Really good service, helpful and friendly staff. Starters are good but expensive and the size of a main course. (way to big) pizzas are very good. Gluten free pasta was bad. (looked like a tin of spaghetti for £14) No excuse for that as lots of excellent GF pasta available. Shame as everything else was good.

Julie Ratcliffe

Casual beach eatery. Great place, lovely atmosphere. Gluten free choices which means I can eat here.

leigh cook

Lovely staff, Alexander was brilliant, 5/5 for the food. I am gluten and dairy intolerance and they catered brilliantly. If I come back i will be going back
