Due to Covid-19  restrictions, a late dinner in the city is not an option, luckily most of these restaurants are also open for lunch and takeaways! As always, menus and ingredients often change so be sure to double check and always inform your waiter that you are coeliac.

Topolabamba

- Topolabamba serve so many dishes gluten free they instead label those that are not, which is refreshing! Instead of a 'GF' sign on the menu we have the pleasure of finding and avoiding only those marked 'Non-GF'.

- Heat rating on each option, but get advice from your server if you are not so keen on spice.

Asian

Bar Soba

The Hanoi Bike Shop

- Unique and cosy Vietnamese restaurant nestled down a lane in the West End of Glasgow.  Lots of gluten free items on the main menu as well as gluten free beer.  

- Best way is to order a few of the smaller plates to share as well as a larger one. We went for the Prawn Paper Rolls, Sticky Chicken (quite spicey!), Crab & Sweet Potato Cakes, Peanut & Coconut Tofu, Caramel Pork Hot Pot and Garlic & Sesame Greens. I must say it was the one of the best meals I've had out! 


Scottish / Steak

The Butterfly & the Pig

- Quirky bar, restaurant and tea room that ensures most of the menu can be made gluten free. It offers gluten free bread, batter and afternoon tea. 

- Before Covid the restaurant hosted live music, jazz and pub quiz nights.

CATCH Fish & Chips

- The CATCH on Gibson St and Fenwick Rd. offers a gluten free menu with separate fryers but as per usual, always phone or speak to the staff to double check.

Miller & Carter

- The Miller & Carter Steakhouses have just released a brand new gluten free menu across all restaurants in the UK, and best of all, its been accredited by Coeliac UK!

Red Onion

- Known as one of the best restaurants in Glasgow for gluten free and coeliac dining, the Red Onion have fantastic GF menus. 

- Choose from dishes off the gluten free A La Carte as well as the gluten free Pre-Theatre Menu which offers a great choice for 2 or 3 courses for £16.50/£20.00. 

- One of those restaurants where I want to try every option on the menu!

- Homey and family oriented, Di Maggio's was first founded in the 1980s when Mario Gizzi went into partnership with his uncle, Giuseppe Conetta, to introduce delicious and affordable Italian-American dining to Glasgow.

- Great gluten free pizza and pasta. Good cocktails too!

Pizza Punks

- A modern take on the everyday pizza restaurant, 'punk it up' and build your own gluten free pizza so you'll love it every time. 

- There's #anarchyintheoven, but friendly staff and a spacious, trendy layout.

 Italian Kitchen

- The Italian Kitchen is the place to go if you are looking for the authentic Italian (gluten free) pasta dishes in Glasgow. 

- Highly praised customer service and a favourite Italian restaurant of many in Glasgow.

Zizzi

- Gluten free menu available and the food arrives with a distinct yellow 'GLUTEN FREE' sticker on the plate to avoid mix-ups. 

- Zizzi (although a chain) is one of my favourite restaurants. The staff are always friendly, the building in Royal Exchange Square is amazing and it offers great student discounts during weekdays. 

- Gluten Free Peroni available too!

You Had Me At Brunch

It’s Sunday morning and you’ve woken up on the sofa in the living room. You didn’t even make it to bed before passing out at an earth shattering 11pm. You managed to see off a good majority of the alcohol left in your flat during the Zoom quiz with your mates. The hangover is going to hit like a ton of bricks come 1pm or earlier.  Maybe you say a prayer, spend 10 minutes frantically googling ‘hangover cures’, down 2 litres of water… or best of all... decide to go for BRUNCH. There is always the instagrammable ‘avo’ toast- topped with chilli flakes for the wild ones- or eggs benedict. But let’s be honest we all just want a fully cooked breakfast.   In Milnathort (my hometown), the cafés 'Heaven Scent' and 'Loch Leven’s Larder' both offered great gluten free full breakfasts. When I came to Glasgow, initially they were a bit harder to find. One time out of desperation I gave a Wetherspoons staff member my gluten free bread to toast and effectively made my own out o...

I'M A COELIAC GET ME OUT OF HERE! : 10 Common Struggles Faced by Coeliacs and Gluten Intolerant People

Comment down below if you or a gluten free friend have experienced any  of these: 1. " Finding ourselves" whilst backpacking is all fine and well until someone says ‘should we grab a bite somewhere?’ We may recite “Je souffre d’une maladie qui s’appelle la maladie coeliaque et je dois suivre un régime absolument sans gluten” in the hotel reception like it’s our National 5 speaking exam again, but inevitably, it concludes with us panicking, forgetting and shouting “Sans gluten!” at the poor waiter.  The good news is that this lovely website can save us from embarrassment… Just print out a few of their language cards and bon voyage!  2. Here we are… just hiding from all the gluten  “Would you like to see the avoiding gluten menu? Or maybe the low gluten menu, the ever so slightly sensitive to gluten menu, the dodging gluten menu, or the ghosting gluten menu?...”   Do I need to go on? NO.  Is it sooo much to ask for a ‘Certified Gluten Free’ menu?...
