Amazing GF pizza

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 !

Olivia C

Great GF options, I came here twice for dinner during my stay in Edinburgh! Fun lively atmosphere and very reasonably priced.

Olivia C

The service here is incredible and the staff are very knowledgeable on gluten free meals and how they adapt their menu to fit GF needs. If we were staying longer I’d be back here for breakfast again!

Erin Whalen

Unfortunately I just ate there and got glutened by their food. The poutine even though they said it was Celiac safe unfortunately was not.

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.

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.

Meriel Graham

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

Morgan Patzelt

Unreal restaurant especially if you have dietary restrictions. Nearly the entire menu is gluten free which is awesome because they have local delicacies like scotch eggs and haggis that you can’t find GF elsewhere. They were super diligent with other allergies and dietary requirements. Also, make sure you check out the mushroom emporium in the basement!!

I am not a vegetarian, but was traveling with a friend who is both gluten-free and a vegetarian. I would go back to David Bann on my own, so delicious was my pea, mint, basil pudding. The service was impeccable, attentive but not hovering. We enjoyed a leisurely meal, and left with that warm glow of a great meal.

Courtney Linnemeier

Staff were amazing and the food was great! They were very knowledgeable about celiacs and what I could and couldn’t have and were able to alter menu items to accommodate. 10/10 will go back!!

Elena

Tasty lunch with high quality ingredients! The staff was very kind and available for clarifications. I confirm that they have a menu with gluten free options and are very careful about contamination. Central location, reservations recommended because it is a highly sought-after restaurant! You can choose meat or fish courses and interesting typical Scottish dishes

Briony Stewart

Food is amazing as are the staff!! Highly recommend!

Julia Villoldo

We ate very well. One of us is celiac, and the pizza was delicious. They were very attentive to our tastes. Our waitress, Maria, was very attentive and helpful. My only complaint is that the tables are very close together.

L.

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.

Daniel Mcshane

very nice and cosy, delicious sandwiches! I'm gluten free, and both their gf bagels and their soups were amazing!

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.

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!

Kiana Rome

We had a lovely time. Tanya was amazing and attentive! Love the gluten free friendly pasta!

Kristyna Grussova

Ula was most amazing! Showed me how to use the rewards app. Recommended new Gluten free base and explained the difference. Truly great experience for solo dining!

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.

Harry W

Incredible food and great service. Picked it out because I needed somewhere that did good gluten free and lactose intolerant food - as soon as we walked in they handed us a special allergen menu with all the gluten items removed. All the food was great (recommend lots of sharing plates - Street food or classics) but the honey shredded pork soft tacos were mindblowing. Good cocktails too, really fast and friendly service, and reasonable prices!

Graham Robb

Had minestrone to start which was lukewarm. Carbonate for main was average and the crepes for dessert which was lovely. Staff were very pleasant and the cafe itself had a comfortable feel. Toilets were spotless. Also had a wide variety of gluten free options for all courses.

Iván Román

A very pleasant experience. The pizzas are very good and are generous in size. They have gluten-free options for the entire menu. We were also lucky to be assisted by Calum, who speaks Spanish very well and who made sure that we were comfortable at all times.

Giovanna Tacchini

Amazing place for spanish food and full of gluten free options!

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.

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!

Fiona Yeang

Great place. Entrance is wheelchair accessible, and the gluten-free pizza base is fantastic. Friendly service, good atmosphere.

Mikel Revilla

A fantastic place for a cold day, I recommend it 100%. I am also celiac and they have very good control over the gluten issue.

Jamie de Bie

Pricey but food is great and very coeliac aware.

Sarolta Pudney

Delicious meal and lots of gluten free options as well. The waiter was very knowledgeable about which items on the menu were gluten free and free from cross contamination (shared fryer). Overall we had a delicious meal in a nice atmosphere. Very highly recommend

Aaron Heckert

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

Isobel Mohr

I love this place. They’re waiters are lovely, the music is great and the whole vibe is fun. The menu is massive and great if you are vegetarian as you can sub most meat for tofu and vice versa. Similarly, loads of gluten free options. Only downsides - you often have to queue, their flavoured negroni is a bit too strong on the lemongrass/ lychee and you have to pay for rice separately which always puts me off the curry

ALI

Good gluten-free choice

Toko K

Really delicious pasta also gluten free. But forget garlic bread it's not worth eating

Jason Cameron

Fantastic atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was great with plenty of gluten free options. We’ll be back!

rhaisa louise

Worst experience in a Pizza Hut in my entire life. I love pizza Hut, there is none in my city so when I travel I always try to find a Pizza Hut to eat. I ordered one chicken pizza. It was not good at all, I had to take literally all chicken pieces out of the pizza and still couldn’t eat all. My husband ordered a gluten free pizza, it was as bad as mine. The worst part is that we have paid around £17 in each pizza. The staff was super friendly though. Anyway do not recommend chicken pizza neither the gluten free one.

Maryam Farooq

Visited this store last week on a Friday afternoon and it was pretty quiet, the store itself is pretty small but cute and quaint. The lady in the store was really friendly and to our surprise, said the doughnuts were buy one get one free. We tried the doughnuts a couple hours later and they were so fresh and delicious! I even picked up a little gluten free doughnut cake for my friend which she absolutely loved. Would return here if I’m in Edinburgh again :)

Sandra Guijarro

Highly recommended, it is very rich. We ordered the medium one and we were fine, if you are hungry it is better to get the large one. The delicious apple sauce, it suits you very well. There is gluten-free bread.

Anna Martin

Delicious bowls!! Vegan and gluten free options available

Lucy Gill

Offer Gluten-Free option. Bowl of pulled pork with a little crackling. I got a meal deal with crisps and a drink. I went for the BBQ sauce as it came in a squirty bottle, I noticed the other sauce was in a bowl with spoon, which they used to cover the non GF bread. I took my own GF bread. Really chilled place for lunch.

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.

Fiona

Lovely wee cafe, really good coffee and gluten free carrot cake

Josh

Been three times in the last 4-5 months, each time the food has been spot on. Food comes quickly and on the table is a variety of well stocked sauces. The most recent visit and it looks like the menu has changed to be a lot easier for coeliacs to see what they can have (probably 75% of the menu!). We had nachos which are banging, a burger with a gluten free bun and the brisket. The only negative is that on all three occasions the brisket has been significantly different in texture but still delicious.

Deb Graham

Really friendly place, has a lovely roof terrace and 2 more bars inside. Gluten free beer on tap for those who are interested

George Weir

Food was excellent and they did Gluten Free which was a bonus. Covid restrictions did not stop us from having a good time. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Service was good. It was our first time there but we will be back.

Andrew McAtominey

The food was nice but it was quite pricey. Roughly £40 for two small-ish breakfasts, and they apply an optional service charge. Decent gluten free options though.

Emily hallsworth

So friendly and comfy, excellent gluten free bruschetta and the chips were also GF!

Diego Hidalgo

Not many gluten free options available even though it was advertised. Eggs Benedict tasted rather vinegary.

Sinead Lunn

Great find for vegans and gluten free! If you're seeking a tropical escape in Edinburgh, Paradise Palms is the place to be! This quirky gem bursts with vibrant decor and a lively atmosphere that lifts your spirits from the moment you step inside. Their cocktail menu is a delight! But the food menu is the star of the show! bursting with flavor and creativity—and you'll be in food heaven. Plus, SO MANY the gluten-free options! THANK YOU! The staff are amazing. Friendly and enthusiastic! In short, Paradise Palms is a must-visit for great cocktails, delicious vegan cuisine, and a quirky vibe that guarantees a good time! 🌴🍹✨
