Top 50 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Enjoy in Edinburgh

Paul Steinmann

Super friendly service, very delicious sandwiches, most dishes available gf. Gluten free. Also a quiter place, a bit out of the touristic zones. We have been here every day we spend in edinburgh! ... okay, 2 days, so only twice, but still !

Jessie

Stopped in for a quick bite before a day of exploring and we’re glad we did! Delicious and filling comfort food. Several gluten free and/or veggie options. Friendly service and pretty quick considering how busy the place was. Always a great location. All around very pleased!

Alessio Barili

Scottish pub with gluten free beers. Magnificent

Kane Sainsbury

A hyped up place on lots of GF/DF Edinburgh blogs. The staff were friendly and accommodating, Coffe was good, but sadly not a great review from me. Party of 4, prebooked. We arrived hoping for some yummy or interesting breakfasts as the menu seemed to promise. Their gluten free options were limited and the bread served was horrendous quality, not even toasted or buttered?! We paid between £11 and £17 a head. The food was mediocre at best. Would've liked to try the french toast as that looked and smelt amazing!...but it is only available with dairy. Poached eggs tasted of vinegar. I would not recommend the items we chose: za'atar spiced scrambled eggs on toast with spicy hollandaise, fresh coriander & jalapeno salsa - very meh and surprisingly flavourless. poached eggs on toast, + mushrooms + gf bread - tiny mushrooms grilled into oblivion, possibly the worst gf bread ever, untoasted and unbuttered. hummus on sourdough toast with cherry tomatoes, pickled shallots, za'atar, salda verde, capers & crispy chickpeas - the most interesting of all that we ordered, but really needed more salt! Anyone else of hummus being the go-to for vegans?

Will proactively ask about allergies etc. Felt very well taken care of. Food tasted amazing

Victor Desmet

Would certainly recommend this place! Amazing for breakfast and brunch/lunch. I had the Scottish salmon toast, and my gluten intolerant and dairy free friend had the best pancakes. There were a lot of other Gluten free options available! Sweet staff and quick service even though it was quite busy!

Natalia Fernandez Caja

The food is incredible, you can tell they are Italian. They have gluten-free pasta options although there isn't much to choose from. It comes in a VERY small quantity for the price, but it is very very delicious for a treat-meal.

Meriel Graham

Fantastic breakfast. Had the gluten free option of the full breakfast. Would highly recommend!

Kane Sainsbury

We came here for the final breakfast of a mini break. We were sent over from scran who recommended Hula for allergens. The breakfasts were overpriced and painfully mediocre. I massively resented paying £40 for 2 blah coffees, and 2 plates of avocado toast, one of which was on the crapest gluten free bread available. Sorry Hula, maybe we ordered wrong but really not worth it.

Very tasty food, also a special menu for gluten-free dishes. The friendly staff pointed out possible cross-contamination due to the small kitchen. Highly recommended.

Elena

Recommended place to eat excellent sweet and savory pancakes. They offer different types of dough, including low fat and gluten free (very careful about contamination). Cute place!

Sam Stone

Came to this lovely place with some friends who lived nearby and recommended it. Really lovely big open room with loads of windows that look out onto the sea. Very good menu of breakfast/lunch/treat options. Their cake displays by the entrance have an amazing range of different items (including lots that are gluten free/vegan) I had a piece of the carrot cake which was amazing. Not only the best carrot cake I've ever had but also one of the best cakes too. The texture of the cake was perfect and the flavours of the carrot and different spices was also really really good. My wife had a bacon roll which was very nice. Perfectly cooked bacon on a really lovely roll. The staff were all really lovely as well. Our friends had their baby with them so we spent a really long time ordering/eating/cleaning up afterwards and we didn't feel rushed at all (despite an endless queue of people waiting to be seated) We also got some extra carrot cake and other treats to take away which were also really good (Tip - cheaper price of you buy the cakes to take away) Highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back next time we are in the area

Robert Whitford

This place is amazing! The haggis is so delicious. A whiskey sauce that isn't only about the whiskey. Such friendly and knowledgeable staff. Nearly everything has a gluten free, veg, or vegan option. Absolutely a must.

Donna Avery

Loved this surprise find! Stumbled in here looking for something warm to drink and got this mulled wine and gluten free carrot cake.

Kay Corbett

Great local, friendly and good selection. Gluten free options on menu are much appreciated! Great that they have a function room too.

Heidi Israelsen

Wonderful full Scottish Breakfast and Eggs Benedict. They separated out the gluten items for me and even brought us free sodas for the kids. Amazing service and delicious food!

Jason (Eris)

Having been here twice now, I can say that this is one of the nicest cafés in Edinburgh! The food was absolutely delicious, and I love that there's gluten free and vegan options available! I will definitely be back here again :)

Rodney Andrews

I really enjoyed this place! Great pub vibes with seating for drinks or for dining. Friendly staff. Still get a lot of the ultra tourist crowd but also seemed like there was some locals there as well which is a good sign. Wife has celiacs so we went for dinner and drinks. Staff was knowledgeable, no separate fryer so couldn’t have the chips. Gluten free buns available (my wife says the gf bun was really tasty as well!). Kinda limited options for celiac but what they did have was great!

Jon H

My partner is a coeliac and she's also currently feeding our 2 month old who seems to have a cows milk protein allergy at the moment. We're not the easiest to cater for at the moment, but we were really really well looked after. They checked everything carefully and the chef was made aware. The food was absolutely flipping amazing. I had a Jai and saag aloo myself and it was phenomenal. I'll definitely be going back! Thank you for looking after us.

Franziska Stefan

Lovely cafe with a lot of gluten-free options and the cake was amazing. Very busy on the weekend though.

Alastair Ross

Excellent tacos, delicious margaritas, great vibe. Everything's made fresh right in front of you. It's tempting to spend all evening there ordering more rounds of tacos and drinks. Also everything is gluten free for whom it may concern.

Aaron Heckert

Perfect. This place is awesome. Very gluten-free friendly and great mixed drinks. Aaron and Lily were great.

Ignacio Marin

Adapted gluten-free breakfasts, without contamination. They give you gluten-free bread if you want and the menu says what does NOT contain gluten. Celiacs, you can have breakfast in peace, my celiac wife was not contaminated.

Giulia Mengardo

Very good gluten free breakfast. I ordered a delicious yogurt with oats, honey and jam. Gluten-free bread for savory breakfasts is also available. Very kind and helpful staff. Not very spacious but well organized and comfortable environment. The only thing I would improve is the brioche with gluten because it was small and not stuffed. Otherwise perfect!

Jane Why

It's a totally amazing restaurant. Family and dog friendly, too. Staff are just lovely, very knowledgeable, and not at all intrusive. Cater for gluten-free and only a few dishes were unavailable as gluten-free, which is a huge bonus for me. The food is fantastic. The Islay Oysters were to die for, I could have had them for mains, too! The scallop dish was really lovely, too. We both had the wagu burger and chips, which was the nicest burger we've ever had and proper chips, too. Our 2 collies loved watching the restaurant go by from the table, and the staff made their evening by giving them attention before we left. Will definitely come back.

Dave Tucker

Good place to visit for burgers, excellent choices and tater tots as a side are great. The rear dining space is impressive but very large & only half full on our visit so there was very little atmosphere. They offer gluten free burgers which are good but half the size of the non-GF equivalent.

Briony Stewart

Our go to place for brunch in edi!! So good for gluten free and vibes

L J Hearn

Antijitos is an all-vegan and gluten-free taco establishment located in the Omni Centre, near Edinburgh Waverley Station and John Lewis. The accommodating, friendly staff ensures a pleasant dining experience. It is situated amidst the trendy Edinburgh Street Food alongside diverse vendors, making it an ideal choice for groups with varied preferences. I opted for the trio of soft tacos, sampling a variety of enticing flavors. Beyond the delicious flavours, the vibrancy of each dish adds an Instagram-worthy allure. The strategic location, coupled with the colorful presentation and diverse menu, renders this taco haven a compelling post-shopping or post-travel retreat. In addition, it's worth noting that the gluten-free nature of the dishes, though not immediately evident, ensures an inclusive dining experience without compromising on taste or quality. This attribute adds an extra layer of appeal for those seeking gluten-free options without sacrificing flavor.

Cheryl Clarke

Had lunch here, food very nice. Massive portions and excellent gluten free choices. We had the mussels and fish and chip and they were delicious. Cosy atmosphere in the back, with a little fire.

Alanah Moulsdale

The dishes are quite small. The idea is to get a few different plates to share. All of the food tasted amazing and was full of flavour!

Briony Stewart

Best gf fry-up!! So unassuming, very knowledgeable staff, and great food!

Devraj Dutt

I went here early one morning since Google recommended this place for gluten free food. The food was ok but the experience was not great. First I was told that I had ordered take away and if I wanted to eat in the shop, there would have to be a 20% surcharge. Then the receipt provided was not properly written, both the items on order show as "VAT" on the receipt. So my experience was not great. I would recommend you try other places if you are looking for a gluten free meal

Katie Harvey

Incredible! So tasty! I had the wonton, laksa and sweet potato deep fried balls with chocolate icecream, it was all delicious. Highly recommended for everyone, vegans and nonvegans. They have a separate gluten free menu. The ladies working there are absolutely lovely. Will definitely come again.

Vanessa Moody

Amazing gluten free food.

louis costa

Good was fantastic. Really nicely done and authentic Spanish tapas. Great selection of wine. A dedicated menu for gluten, dairy and other intolerances. Lovely and attentive staff. Had a wonderful evening here, would definitely recommend and would visit again for sure.

Corentin

Great place, warm. Very good gluten free option with no cross contamination.

Katie Wickman

Went with my mum and aunt, mum is coeliac. Both rated their food 10/10 (and are usually a little fussy). My burger was great, chips fluffy and generous portions. Beef burger slightly pink and tender, gluten free fish and chips crumbed batter lovely and crisp. Service very friendly and warm.

Katia M

Freshly prepared tasty food, gluten free, dairy free and vegan option. Good choice of non-alcoholic drinks including a lovely iced matcha, home made sodas in various flavours, hot chocolate and the usual coffee drinks

Dot Holmes

We only had a snack which was adequate. I didn't see anything gluten free advertised. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Jonathan Gray

I got the chocolate cake with ice cream. The cake was, frankly, rubbish. Cake was tasteless, I think it was gluten free or vegan or something, but it was lacking/missing something. The vanilla ice cream was the same, tasteless and gritty, not at all smooth and didn't really melt that easy. I think Asda's own ice cream would be better. The chocolate sauce was pretty good though, but that really shouldn't have been the highlight

Eric Ramon

Wow, this place was just amazing. We spent 2.5 weeks in Scotland and this was probably our favorite restaurant/meal of the trip. Food and cocktails were amazing. I can’t have gluten and even their meals with no gluten ingredients were fantastic. Wish we had time to go back a second time.

Zuzanna O

We were about to visit the nearby Make Believe and had to feed our babies somewhere, as unfortunately the other place doesn’t allow bringing baby food in. Thank you very much to the lovely staff at the Painted Rooster who provided us with two high chairs, took our order at the table and were very understanding with some baby food ending up underneath the table 🙈 We only had some drinks as unfortunately there weren’t many cakes that would be both gluten and dairy free but we would love to come again and try more dishes properly! Matcha latte with oat milk was decent.

Fiona Leathers

Really nice restaurant - great range of gluten & dairy free foods and the staff were very knowledgeable about the ingredients.

Grainne Rr

Such a good place to eat. Great food and excellent service. Gluten free pasta option is a bonus

Christopher Sharp

Gluten free beer on tap. Great variety from a great brewer.

Alex Yates

Belter of a pub. Great grub, gluten free menu is as good as the non gf food which is a major plus and of course the beer is LOVELY (also the best gf range on tap I've seen to date). Must also be noted that the Guiness is sublime.

Maciej Zurawski

Cool Jade is a cool British take on Chinese cuisine, and the delivery is perfect. They have only a few gluten-free options, and this is not the place for pure traditional authenticity, but all dishes we ordered were truly delicious and of great quality.

Spicet T

Lovely place for all day brunch. Adorable decor. They have some gluten free options as well.

Avril Sargent

Sevice was excellent. Catered for my gluten free needs with no problem

Eduardo G.

Very nice environment. The pub has live music and decent food at a reasonable price. We were very thankful to be served by Alex who assessed us for gluten free options. There are plenty available plus the possibility to change bun bread in burgers.
