Amazing food and service and excellent gluten free options my mom is a coeliac and said it’s the best GF fish and chips she’s ever had and they use a separate fryer so no cross contamination 🙏🏼

Gemma Villorbina Noguera

A nice place to eat, with a gluten-free menu. Very attentive staff. Typical fish & ships

Holly Longstaffe

We had such a great meal and experience at Scoozi. The staff were fantastic and attentive and the food was delicious. I am coeliac and the gluten free pizza was incredible!!

Lucy Chung

Fantastic vegan and gluten-free options - separate dedicated menus for both and easy to cross menus over to get a fully safe meal, which is not always easy in Ireland. The waitress was very attentive about my allergies and made me feel very safe eating here. The food was also so delicious and was the best meal I've had in my visit to Ireland so far. It was nice and busy when we came and I hope this restaurant continues to flourish.

Bunsen is my go to for a delicious and simple burger. As a coeliac, they have a gluten free bun, and the chips are gluten free, which is amazing. Plus good value for money.

Sherry Bramblett

Excellent food. The GF burger was delicious. Great service with attention to celiac needs. Would definitely go back!

Aisling Healy

Food was delicious. They also have a coeliac menu with a number of gluten free options. I got the nachos which were a starter but the portion is very generous. Super delicious and highly recommend! Also the non alcoholic cocktails are delicious, especially 'strawberry fields'.

Chance Kalugyer

Love this place! Great tasting fast food made gluten free for me (coeliac). I had the BBQ Wings and they were amazingly delicious. I would add a picture, but I ate them too fast!

Ismael Castiñeira

Good gluten-free food!

Lauryn S

Best steak I’ve ever had! We went here recently while in Cork. First evening we had takeout fish and chips and it was divine. Delicious, crispy fish and best of all - gluten free! The next day we went in I got the steak - unbelievable!!!!! The service was brilliant too - very attentive but not ‘in your face’ either. I’ve told everyone about this place and will for sure be back whenever we’re down south again.

Janet O'Loughlin

This restaurant is a hidden gem for Gluten Free food! I was able to have GF Fish and Chips for the first time ever! Our servers Chloe and Maeve were excellent! Try it! It will not disappoint!☘️

Jenny Mathewson

We had a lovely lunch here. I had the french toast, which I would highly recommend. Great selection of gluten-free options.

Dave Toner

Nice people and great place. They even have separate gluten free menues.

Janis

Fun pub, great gluten free options. Delicious meal priced right. Great friendly staff.

Christine Lee

Delicious food. Took an overall star away because while the main was delicious and well prices, I felt the desert was expensive and the brownie was too hot and cake-y. Excellent gluten free main options

Clodagh Gaffney

I got the ragu alla genovese. They have a gluten free option, which is great as a coeliac. However, for the price of €21.50 I did not find the portion to be very generous. Additionally, the ratio of meat to pasta was off in my opinion, with too much beef in the dish. However, the meal was tasty, the service was efficient and friendly, and there was a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant.

L. Dracks

Great place for lunch. The quality and taste of their food really amazed us. The staff was so kind and they've lots gluten free options. Thanks guys, you made our day.

Debbie Cooke

Amazing food perfect gluten free sandwiche so nice to have so much choice. Delicious 😋

Fiona O'Mahoney

What a lovely atmosphere even noticeable as you walk in. We went early as we went with the kiddies. The food was lovely. I had the buffalo mozzarella and then monkfish. Both gluten free. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

Aileen

This is my favourite café in Cork City. Their take away cups are compostable (so I bring them home and put them in my food waste bin), and they serve chai lattes. They have loyalty cards plus the staff are pleasant and friendly. I generally don't have to wait long to be served, especially if I'm there between 10.30 and 11 am. I think it's busier after 11 am. They have coeliac and vegetarian options as well as non-dairy milk, plus there's seating outdoors as well as indoors. Most of the time, they make a design like a swan on my chai latte which is a nice touch They've a decent range of sweet and savoury treats including sandwiches and scones but I've never tried them so I can't comment on how tasty they are. My only complaint is that the chairs indoors are more like stools as they have a very low back and they're not that comfortable. The location of Nectar is nice and central also. Price-wise, I'd say it's about average

Fran Dale

Very good gluten free pizza. Would be good if drinks were served to tables, rather than having to carry them upstairs.

Annie Harrington

Lovely coffee ☕ shop, fabulous tasty sandwiches and salads - extremely fresh and tasty. Great range of gluten free bread.

Andrea Vettoretto

Options are super fresh and tasty! Vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and many other options! Everyone can enjoy this place, chill atmosfere and the staff is super kind and friendly.

Natalia Santoro

Excellent food, lots of options for celiac and great service. The hake was divine and so was the salmon dish. Cosy atmosphere and well decorated restaurant.

Gillian Quirke

A gluten free AND dairy free pizza option in the city centre! It’s very rare to find both options being offered and I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Pizza was great, crispy and delicious. Only downside for us was that my friends pizza was really floppy and just messy to eat.

Agnes Lucas

Food was nice but gluten free option not a great choice also tea should be offered in the breakfast menu in kids choice

Ann Buell

Cassidy Fleming

Yummy food, would you believe that this fried chicken burger is completely gluten free? Cause it is! They have a separate GF batter and even frier, and they fry their chips separate too. GF bun was light and fluffy, and chips were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Bravo!

Danielle

This a gluten free review. Myo was great! This cafe has some sweet and savoury options.The savory options are things like quiche and the sweet options are things like a apple berry crumble which was amazing. The staff are lovely and really willing to take the time to read into things like the oat milk for you (which has previously cross contaminated me in other venues, it's not GF but still nice that they looked while the queue was growing), or if the crumble touched off something by accident they would catch that immediately and give you another slice (even though I stupidly said oh I'll eat it anyway! I'm still getting used to advocating for my dietary requirements). It's a small cafe so options are limited of course, but it's a beautiful cafe next to the river and with lovely staff and at least your not paying for a whole restaurant. I've found it hard finding cafes in the city as opposed to restaurants to cater to GF. I'd definitely recommend here. They have some stone tables along the river with chess tables carved in and the cafe will loan you the chess pieces. It's a nice chill evening and no worries about being glutened.

pretty grumpy

Very tasty food if your not gluten free

Noreen O' Connor

Absolutely stunning place to go for a drink or for food. Staff are very polite and accommodating. Such a veriety of food and also has lovely selection of gluten free food aswell. Atmosphere is calm and relaxing during the day and is buzzing by night. Great place to go day or night. Has lovely beer garden. Would definitely recommemd

Elizabeth Corcoran

Lovely place for lunch. Good selection of gluten free food. Friendly service. Well worth a visit

Cassandra Lehmann

Honestly not super impressed with this place. The smoked salmon starter was quite good. My husband and I had fish and chips (mine was prepared gluten free). Neither of us were impressed; maybe just ordered the wrong thing. We shared the gluten free chocolate brownie and agreed that was the best part of the meal. Drinks were also good here.

Sofia

Amazing pasta GF coeliac friendly, the staff is nice and well knowledgeable about GF food specials procedures

Bernadette O Flynn

I has the pleasure of having a meal in this beautiful establishment recently and it was delicious. As I am coeliac I was catered for very well, most dishes if not all were adaptable. Lovely atmosphere and great servers. Warm. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Faye M

Not only did they make me very sick by bringing me food with gluten on it when it was marked gf on the menu and I told them I was coeliac, but they were the rudest about it that any restaurant has been to me in my 15 years of being coeliac. I would never eat here again.

alessandra pantini

A place to eat if you like Asian cuisine. Very good everything Possibility to also choose vegan and gluten free menus. You can eat on site or take away. Clean and quiet place just outside the centre.

monica moriarty

Lovely girl served us, very pleasant and quick. We sat outside afterwards and the owner gave us cushions to sit on. The desert menu was very good with gluten free options. It was full when we went in but we soon got a table.

Alexander T.

Actually we “just” wanted to go to Mizen Head. Thanks to a tip from an Irish woman, we took the risk of taking this detour and were not disappointed. We took the perfect break here in sunshine and wind. Seafood chowder and gluten-free beer while watching the hustle and bustle. What more could you want...

LauraEmily K

Thoughtfully created seasonal menu in a beautiful oasis in the city. I was a little hesitant to eat strawberries withpesto on toast.. but it works! Absolutely would return here. Vegan, celiacs catered to.

Ed Walsh

Went here for lunch while driving through Kinsale. Their gluten free fish and chips were delicious and the chowder was the best I've ever had. Great restaurant for people with Celiac.

Charlene Hurley

Great food always cooked fresh. Lovely menu! Good gluten free options

Tara Power

Honestly couldn't be better !! The staff took our booking on very short notice (twenty minutes! ) we were a large group (35 people) Great selection on the menu which catered for the coeliacs, vegetarians and vegans of the group also .The food was delicious and the staff were not only efficient but so helpful and friendly. We were made feel very welcome and the restaurant and restrooms were spotlessly clean and modern.

Zoé

I really liked the restaurant's atmosphere and decor. The service is excellent. The menu also offers gluten-free options.

Kevin Jesser

It was good because I found many gluten-free options. I didn't like the service because we ate there but we received the coffee and the pastries to take away, it's a small thing but for me is important, if you eat in you should receive your coffee in a cup and your pastries on a plate. The coffee and the pastries were delicious.

Eimear O'Loughlin

Ate at the cornstore for valentines. It was so delicious, service was great, and the set menu had a great range of food to choose with lots of gluten free options.

Emily Purcell

Best pizza in cork :) amazing gluten free bases!!

Silvia-Maria Crowley

Lab 82 is such a nice quirky cafe. It is different in terms of decor and even menu choices- a must visit if you like ducks! Vegan, vegetarian and coeliac friendly this cafe has a wide variety of food options for you to choose from. I recommend the sausage rolls or of course the classic pancakes. Kinder Bueno pancakes are my favourite but the Oreo pancakes are also to die for. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and so helpful! This cafe is such a find - well worth the trip and if you are visiting Cork I definitely recommend a visit here for brunch or lunch! On weekends during peak time you may have to wait 10 mins or so for a table but that is only a testament to how popular the place is. The food is well worth the wait I assure you! I also recommend the potatoes and the chai latte or dirty chai if you need the caffeine.

Bill Murray

Bright, clean and welcoming interior with street side seating also available. Had the Buddah bowl, a rambunctious feast of flavour dancing off my tongue with every bite from every corner of my bowl, and so healthy. Nice variety of delicious cakes available too, had Tunisian orange cake, delicious dense texture-possibly gluten free, only criticism would be the accompanying cream which seemed a bit too airy. Well worth stopping by here for quality food. Service was prompt, friendly and attentive.

Thomas Bailey

One of the best steaks I've ever had. The service was brilliant, the staff were lovely and went into great detail as to what dishes were coeliac safe and which others could be ammended to be Gluten Free. Even gave me a few must try other locations in the city for the rest of my trip.
