Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Western Cape

Absolutely Fabulous! I order all my gluten free bread and treats from Off-the-Gluten Path on a monthly basis, and the service is beyond brilliant. I feel like I know all the customer service staff by first name already. Furthermore, I have never tasted such outstanding gluten-free bread and tasty treats, and believe me I have been around the block. Their pita bread is exactly like the gluten-based ones. I cannot recommend Off-the-Gluten Path highly enough for great service and high quality products.

Excellent, lots of undercover parking, the place to be for tea. Gluten got an eviction order.

Delicious treats that are allergy friendly and wholesome. My personal favorite is the gluten free ginger chocolate cake.

An incredible spot for delicious food, drinks, and desserts! The menu offers a fantastic variety, including great options for vegans and celiacs. We absolutely loved the Spicy Sushi Stack and Basil Pesto Gnocchi—both were bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. This was our second visit in just a few days, which says it all! The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, making the experience even better. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

This was our favorite restaurant in all of Southern Africa! My husband and I ordered almost every entree on the vegan menu (11 dishes), including their 3 course set menu with 3 sides (we're foodies!). Every single one was delicious and made with fresh, healthy ingredients. My favorite was the Defin Misir Alicha - a brown lentil dish. I am going to try to find a recipe to make it back home in America! My husband raved about every dish that was seasoned with Berbere. He ordered a cocktail (the Spice Ethiopian Tosgne) which he still talks about because it was so good (and he's very picky about his cocktails, since he's an unofficial expert mixologist). The service was exceptional. Our waiter (Linga?) was friendly and cheerful, prompt, personable, and respectful. The brief interactions we had with other waiters (and I think the owner) were all remarkably friendly. Our courses felt perfectly timed - neither rushed nor tardy. Our waiter even noticed that after the sun set, there were some mosquitoes near our outdoor table (we hadn't noticed) and was thoughtful enough to bring out some burning frankincense to repel them. It worked and smelled great! Everything looked and felt clean. The tables, chairs, plates, and decor all crafted an atmosphere that felt authentic, pleasant, and not overdone. They had so many options that we'd be comfortable bringing people there with all kinds of different needs - people who don't like spice or love spice, vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free, dairy-free, whatever. It's very accommodating.

Gluten-free muffins are amazing. Wasn't expecting that. Coffee also very good.

I'm celiac, so I can't eat gluten at all. At the menu there are some dishes marked as gluten free, but always double check with the kitchen / waitress if it's 100% save. We went there two times and I always had the fish. It's delicious and I didn't had any problems. So totally recommend this place.

I found their menu limited. No gluten free designed meals as such. It was remove bun off a burger or remove dressing to make it gluten free. Staff were super helpful and stunning views.

Very nice gluten-free pizza! The small details of the look of the restaurant could get some more attention

Kyle Kriek

Ordered a gluten free pasta for celiac purposes. Pasta was surved with sour dough bread on top of it!

Eyal Frank

The dinner was excellent! They were very considerate and served us very tasty dishes with our gluten-free and diabetics / low carb restrictions... so we came again the next day for another excellent dinner! Service from all levels is very good, attentive, and professional. Will definitely come again if in the area.

We were 4 diners. My daughter has Celiac disease so we specifically went to Maria’s because they advertised gluten free food. The food was amazingly good! But the manager was rude and abrasive, very dismissive when we asked for assurance that the food was prepared separately. When we got our starters, her gluten free starter was placed next to pita bread that was NOT gluten free, thus contaminating her food. When we pointed this out to the manager, he simply shrugged and left. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. And also apologetic about another table that was very loud, causing us to not stay for dessert because the noise level was simply too high! The only down side about the food was the baklava fingers we ordered as take away. They were vile! Tasted only of cinnamon. I’m Greek so I know how they should taste. Very disappointing dessert, don’t order that!

As always in South Africa, very friendly and courteous staff. Very tasty food, gluten-free as well as “normal”. Absolutely nothing to complain about.

Wow! The food and beverage offerings at Lanzerac deli were spectacular. We ate a delicious light meal despite needing strict gluten free diet. The iced tea was unique and memorable. We loved the squirrels

One of the best meals I've had in Capetown. Fantastic food and brilliant service. They cater for gluten free too. Highly recommend!

Ocie Melchor

Vanessa Clay

Had high expectations that sadly weren’t met. The service really wasn’t great (not listening when taking our order, forgetting what we’d ordered and coming back, missing bits of courses, dropping dirty cutlery (understandable) and then not cleaning up the mess after, not taking deposit off the bill etc). My husband is gluten free, and we totally understand it’s not as recognised in SA, but this was the worst example we’ve had in the country. Food was average, sadly nothing to get excited about - or enough to make up for the service!

Incredible and pleasant experience! We had a friend with us who is gluten intolerant, and our waiter was so helpful and knowledgeable on all of the ingredients of the dishes, and how to ensure a safe meal. The food was delicious, and one of the best seafood dishes I’ve had! Highly recommend

i have celiac disease and a dairy allergy, usually i call ahead and ask restaurants if they’re okay to cater for me on the very rare occasion that i do dine out but we ended up here on a whim and they were incredible. made sure i could have a delicious meal without getting sick and everyone was so incredibly lovely. thank you to Nosi for being so especially wonderful! i didn’t catch the manager on duty’s name but he was such a darling too. thank you all, we had a beautiful time with you!
