Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Norwich

I stopped in quickly because I saw they had good gluten free options online, and it made my whole day. The staff were so lovely, coffee was delicious, and I should've ordered 10 of those muffins. Couldn't rate this higher 💕

Allen Peckett

Clean and tidy restaurant, very friendly staff. The food was tasty with good sized portions but the menu is a bit limited. This is a specialist vegetarian/vegan restaurant which also caters for gluten intolerance as well, however the staff explained that the GF food is cooked in same fryer as the non GF food. This is OK if you are GF for fashionable reasons but not for anyone who is GF for medical reasons. Children are welcome but there isn't a children's menu. Most of the youngsters there were eating French fries and ketchup I noticed. I was disappointed that there wasn't more variety of vegetables available. I guess most people want artificial chicken there days. The biggest surprise was the price, it was eye wateringly expensive, over £200 with the service charge for 4 adults and 1 young child, we had mains a couple of sides, not many drinks and a couple of deserts.

Excellent experience! Staff super friendly and knowledgeable. Loads of gluten free options and the eggs Benedict was utterly delicious, as was the freshly squeezed OJ. Would definitely recommend and will go again next time I visit Norwich

Marc Schwartz

First time at the Cosy Club with my wife and not dissapointed. Polite and efficient service. Amazing interior of this former bank. I had the fish gougon sandwich and my wife had the burger. Reasonable size with fries. Menu caters well for gluten free diners. Lunch for 2 with tea was £36. Will be back.

The staff were really friendly and made sure everything was good. Cocktails were great, even the mocktails. The Wasabi prawns were so crispy and tasty. I was really full but as a coeliac my only dessert options normally is a brownie. So when I saw panko banana with miso sauce I asked if I could take it away and they accommodated immediately. I had them that evening and they were delicious. All in all great atmosphere, great staff and food. I thought it was really good value for money as well.

Christopher Parke

Lovely fish and chips and friendly service great that they do Gluten free on Tuesdays

Adam Leefe

Just ordered from here for delivery, burgers were literally amazing. Looked exactly like the pictures and packed with flavour. Will definitely be ordering again. As a coeliac this will be my new go to!

Alison Galvin

Really disappointing visit yesterday. The new venue was welcoming, but chilly. I didn't feel it was much warmer inside than out. I ordered gluten free salted caramel chocolate brownie. I struggled to cut it with a fork, it was so hard and could barely taste salted caramel. The cocoa flavour overpowered it. My friend ordered a victoria sponge. It was a victoria cake not sponge, it was very heavy and dense, not light at all. The coffee was very strong too. We did mention our comments, but it was brushed off with 'i'll feedback to the kitchen '. It wasn't the same experience as the last time we went.

Eleanor Wilkinson

Only two items aren’t gluten free on the whole menu definitely recommend

Helen Geaves

Delicious and original food. Some of the beer was gluten free

Paul McConnell

It's a nice place, but charging £4 for Gluten Free is a bitter pill to swallow. Most places charge nothing elsewhere, so £4 is pretty enormous. Also no idea how you calculate the doubling of the cost from small to large supplement. £2 I could take, but £4? Dial it down or gluten free will go elsewhere.

Caz B

Impeccable service, and TONS of gluten free options. Really impressed by the range available. However was a little disappointed by the food as it was a little bland - was expecting a little more flavour, tried all dishes we ordered and honestly each one was really lacking something. Beautifully presented, and fast to arrive. Definitely book ahead as it gets busy. If you like the spice and flavour of thai food, this isn’t for you I’m afraid, but the less brave person will find this a gentle and tame, but enjoyable, culinary experience.

Rosalind Green

Seevice was excellent. My friend thought his meal was excellent- lasagne grande & Biscoff cheesecake. My gluten free mains - including the serving dish - wasn't hot enough. My fish was soggy, it was all bland, and the potatoes were dry. 2 of my triple mini desserts were OK but the third was tasteless.

Iv being going to snowdrop coffee shop since it opened, came across them by chance as I walked my children to school (Usually use a cut through but decided to go main road) saw someone outside giving away free samples. Couldn't stop but decided to return and check it out and Im so glad I did. 😊 Clare and the family are all so lovely and welcoming. The food is always tasty, with lots of options to choose from. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, she does a good selection of it all. The cakes are always spot on and when she does her brownies and cheesecake they aren't around long 😅 So many choices for the coffee too hot and cold! I simply can't stay away and my children love going to see Clare she's a very caring and lovely lady to us all. Highly recommend

Lindy Elles

Booked a table for 6 people on Saturday night, 1 gluten free, 1 vegetarian and 4 "normals" The food was absolutely superb, we all had starters, mains and drinks. Our server, Rosabella, was lovely, she helped me with the gluten free bible, explained about all the food and different options, took photos for us, nothing was too much trouble for her, she's a credit to Zizzi's. This was a Zizzi's in Tombland, Norwich.

When we chose Saporita as the venue in which we celebrated our small wedding, we were expecting delicious Italian food. What we received was so much more—a truly unforgettable evening, filled with love, laughter and incredible food, provided by a wonderful family. Saporita is more than just a restaurant; it’s a haven for anyone who wants to sample real Italian cuisine with a twist. While they serve outstanding pizza, what really sets Saporita apart from the rest is the wide array of mouthwatering dishes that showcase the depth and diversity of Italian cooking. Mama is honestly a genius, one of the highlights of our celebration was the fact that they crafted an entirely vegetarian menu for us, whilst also accommodating every single dietary need we threw at them with remarkable ease and attention to detail. Over the course of the evening, Mama catered not only for vegetarians but vegans, a celiac and someone with a nut allergy, making every member of our party feel cared for and included. Throughout the evening, we were treated to a seemingly endless parade of delectable dishes, each morsel more delicious than the last, we were made to feel like we were a part of the family, and no request was too much, Veronica and the entire team were exceptionally warm, personal, and attentive without being intrusive. Our wedding celebration at Saporita was nothing short of perfect. It was intimate, joyous, and filled with love—a true reflection of the restaurant’s spirit. If you’re looking for an authentic Italian family experience, whether for a special occasion or just a memorable meal, we can’t recommend Saporita highly enough. They helped to make our wedding day everything we could have dreamed of and more, and I’m sure they’ll do the same for anyone who walks through their doors. (Honourable mentions from the menu include: the Panzerotti, the Taglieri – wow, just wow, and the Zucchinina Pizza!)

Wonderful food, super smiley friendly and helpful staff. Vegetarian heaven with plenty of gluten free choices. I love this place.

Jaimie-Lee Barlow

Amazing gluten free options, best fish and chips!

Sandra Jarvis

I was extremely pleased to find all pizzas could be offered gluten free/dairy free. This is usually very rare when eating out. So 10 out of 10 for Pizza Express

Caz B

Excellent coeliac-friendly all day breakfast place, gorgeous views of Elm Hill and the cobbled streets. Really appreciated the care and attention in making sure it was gluten free. Very dog friendly, my two pups had a lovely time watching people walk past! Definitely book ahead if you can.

James Ditcham

Lovely gluten free cake

Laura Bennett

Didn’t manage to sit in because of how busy this place gets but wow such a lovely cafe in a busy city. Despite being very busy staff were lovely and friendly. Really gluten friendly, vegan and veggie aware. Quick bite savoury options for gf is like finding gold dust - thank you :) also got a carrot cake to take away because I couldn’t resist! 3 lunch sandwiches and cake for under £20

Richard Bishopp

Brilliant cafe, fantastic food,good quality products cooked perfect.Brilliant coffee.The menu has gluten free range which is great as my daughter gluten intolerance. Good value for money.😁👍

Miles Hill

Great burger with tasty Gluten Free bun & plenty of GF options. Was disappointed the fry’s weren’t GF but they jacket potato was very tasty. Great BBQ sauce on the Rock House burger👌

Abi Denton

A great cafe that was open pre 9am on a Saturday - always a bonus. The food was really lovely, and there was a very good selection, with gluten free options, which is always nice. The coffee was excellent too and the cakes were really lovely too. They're dog friendly too, so for us on our brief dog centred trip to Norwich, we couldn't ask for anything more.

Lee M

Went here for my birthday and was the best steak I’ve eaten, They catered for me who suffers with gluten and dairy so made the experience even better, Would definitely come back.

Niall O'Connor

Intimate atmosphere; the decaf cappuccino was excellent, served in a vintage mug, and we shared a main dish charred cauliflower, fig, and spiced turnip purée with chili honey and walnuts. Gluten free friendly. Nice staff.

Kim Barnetson

Lovely breakfast, lots of gluten free, veggie and vegan options at a very reasonable price.

Caz B

Great little spot for a cuppa or bite to eat. Lovely decent coffee, alternative milks available too. Menu range isn’t big but food is good. Gluten free bread is often available so sandwiches can also be made gf, great attention and checking from staff on dietary requirements. Always have really good cakes available, many gf options too! Staff are cheery and helpful, service is quick. Not enormous, but the shared table at the back is big enough for quite a few people to sit at if you don’t mind a couple of strangers for company. Courtyard at the back is my favourite spot to sit and read over a tea, especially in summer. Also dog friendly, so brilliant spot for a bit of dog watching, or to chill out with your furry friends. Dog water bowls often outside the front. Brilliant place. Only drawback is how busy it gets, sometimes at the weekend it’s hard to find a free seat!

Nichole Ward

Shiki is an absolute gem! I'm Celiac and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Their special dishes are delicious!

Katie McArthur

Great pre-show meal! Gluten free options, I opted for no bun as it was a smash burger and it was so delicious. Looking forward to going here again!

Neil Watson

Welcoming professional staff, in particular Ali and Joel. The food was delicious and the gluten free options are not second rate or an after thought like many restaurants. Splendid drinks menu as well!!

Vicky Cheng

Came here for my Birthday with my partner and we were blown away. First the decor was stunning and interesting, the tiling and the proper oven caught my eye when I walked in. Then a water fountain attached to the wall which was actually a beer tap! We were served by Ben who was the most accommodating to my dietary requirements and happily answered any questions I had. The chefs also managed to make my favourite Turkish liver dish to order so I could enjoy it without gluten. It’s the little things! Cocktails were great too, my partner is particular about his old fashioned’s and he loved it. The atmosphere was warm, friendly and I have the say the music was on point. We can’t wait to visit again and already telling all our friends from Cambridge about it. We’ll see you guys soon!

Eric Murphy

An amazing place, we had lunch on the outside terrace and it was great. The food was attractively presented and very tasty. We had the fixed price menu and we were not disappointed either by the quality or the portion size. My wife has coeliac disease and they were very aware of this and made it very clear her food was gluten free. The views of the cathedral are brilliant and the vertical planters and waterfalls on one wall add to the experience. Our server was very friendly, absolutely no complaints, I’d definitely go back.

Ruby

I love this pizza hut, service is always speedy and the servers are very helpful, always willing to sort me a separate salad due to a gluten allergy and the risk of cross contamination 👍

Pete Allen

Declan was really helpful today with offering to ask the chief to make gluten free Yorkshire pudding and gravy and they had a great selection of food my daughter could eat on the carvery as well being celiac and dairy free diet as well. With a final bonus high chair food for my 1 year old was free from the carvery as well.

Hannah Onslow

Visited nandos for the first time as someone who cannot have gluten. The member of staff who seated us was extremely knowledgeable and reassuring about gluten free food (though it isn't on the menu). The food was really tasty. A fab visit!

Sarah Burleigh

Had an amazing evening at Boston House. If you are looking for top quality food and wines in a relaxed atmosphere, this is the place to go. The waitress was very efficient and friendly. One of our party was gluten free and had a special menu. The bar was open if you just wanted a drink and if you enjoy a Sunday roast, you would love the Boston House roast. They even have a private dining room upstairs if you wish.

Vivien Taylor

Visited on Saturday 22nd February 2024. Was served by Ludo who was so attentive and ensured all our food was gluten free. The food was delicious. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because the food wasn’t hot but it definitely wouldn’t prevent us visiting again.

Sam Lebbon

Delicious food, catered well for gluten and dairy intolerant diners. Good menu choices. For the money I feel the standard of service could have been better with more attentive waiters. Otherwise very good and will go back for sure.

Chloe Lawton

Could not fault this place, the interior was beautiful and the cocktails were something else. Had such a wonderful 20th birthday here. So many options to choose from for both drinks and food. Even caters for gluten free which was perfect for one of my friends. The staff were on point with the service and also were very friendly . Would recommend 100x 💖

Jamie Lee

Gluten free delight! (The two veggies approve too) Parking isn’t great, but there’s plenty down the road, the walk when so full was probably good for me to stretch. The gluten free bun was surprisingly as good as a normal bun, which is shocking as most available in shops are revolting. The potato products aren’t classified as gluten free due to being fried (cross contamination) but were fine like most places. Food itself everyone seemed to have loved, apart from the cheese on the macaroni isn’t very cheese tasting, but possibly could be American style cheese, and the eater of it is very picky. All in all, amazing experience and food, especially as I struggle to find places to eat. Will definitely be back.

Sheree Leeds

This is a good honest cafe. It has no false pretentions. It offers good, well cooked food. If you want fancy, overpriced coffee, don't come here. But if you want a tasty breakfast with a good cup of coffee then this is the place. Gluten free and keto breakfasts available - I was impressed.

Pete Allen

Kids really loved it especially my daughter who they made here a gluten and dairy free crepe which is hard to find in Norwich

Andrew Illing

Superb meal and wine, steaks and seafood , but also gluten free options. Excellent service. Very popular

Richard K

Always the best food! Always so fresh! Lovely staff that run it always happy to pop in and say hello! I Have tried the majority of the menu, vegan options and others too! They even offer some gluten free meals!

Lauren

Open long hours and very friendly staff. Good gluten free cake selection and lovely pizzas in the evening!

Sarah Sheridan

Excellent vegan food that can be adapted to gluten free easily. friendly staff and very fair price for healthy, ethical and tasty food. Would highly recommend.

Alex Florance

Food is just amazing. Great selection (but not too much), really tasty, good veggie options and quick service. And all at a fantastic price! My friend is also newly gluten free (strictly), and the server was very knowledgeable and able to provide recommendations and adaptations to suit. Top class restaurant that I’m proud to have in my city!
