The Mayfair Chippy
“Best fish and chips I’ve ever had! The kitchen has a dedicated gluten-free space and excellent protocols. The staff took the time to let me know which condiments would be safe as well. Highly recommend!”

Browns Covent Garden
“Accredited by the UK Coeliac Association. Separate gluten-free menu. Tons of choices. They bring gluten-free food out separately. Dedicated fryer and gluten-free dessert. So many choices. Very knowledgeable waitstaff. Delicious food.”

WA Cafe (Covent Garden)
“WA Japanese Patisserie is a gem in Central London. They have a great selection of Japanese bakes, and many are clearly marked gluten-free. The team is knowledgeable and takes allergies seriously, which made me feel really confident ordering.
Their matcha is fantastic, and the overall vibe of the shop is calm, clean, and welcoming. It’s perfect for a quiet treat or catch-up with a friend. Japanese-style baked goods can be really tough to find gluten-free, so this place is a rare and very appreciated find. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in London and craving something a little different but still safe to enjoy.”

Zizzi
“Zizzi is a gluten-free favourite of mine. They have so much choice, and there aren’t really nuts on the menu either. They have a very detailed allergen book so you can see exactly what’s in each of the dishes. I love their gluten-free pasta! The managers are also very knowledgeable and helpful. I always feel safe at Zizzi.”

Mattarello Bolognese Restaurant
“This is one of the BEST places to get gluten-free pasta in London. They’re accredited by Coeliac UK and have dedicated preparation spaces for all of their gluten-free dishes.
They recently overhauled their menu, and now almost every single option can be made gluten-free. This includes several options of stuffed tortellini, breaded appetizers, and Milanese. The prices are high compared to portion sizes, though the taste is great.”

Borough Market
“The paella stand is DELICIOUS and totally nut- and gluten-free! Yum yum!”

Brigadiers
“Incredible Indian food that isn’t Dishoom. Many gluten-free options. Super flavorful! Staff is super educated on differences between gluten-free and celiac—they take extra careful precautions with cross-contact. Definitely worth a visit—make a reservation.”

One Aldwych
“While the hotel does have a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, we went for the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory afternoon tea, which is not a dedicated experience, but they do an amazing job with gluten-free. You can see here a picture of the gluten-free desserts and scones. The tea sandwiches were amazing as well. The staff is very well-versed and educated, and walks you through the whole experience.”

Manna Dew
“This is one of the best gluten-free bakeries in London, if not all of Europe. You can expect delicious pastry that flakes just like gluten-containing pastry does. The price reflects the quality, so just be aware it can be expensive.
There are a large range of vegan options as well—do note that there are a large amount of other allergens on site (hazelnut, almond, pistachio, etc) that are used as fillings for other pastries. I’d recommend contacting them if you have multiple dietary needs.”

Cotto
“Pizza, pasta, and more. Gluten-free desserts. Pretty much the entire menu can be made gluten-free. Just an unbelievable spot. Everything was amazing. Staff was super nice. Also, they brought out gluten-free bread before the meal.”

Mad Hatters Afternoon Tea @ Sanderson London
“Expensive, but worth it. We had reservations at 12 PM. Everything was plentiful and delicious. I enjoyed 12 different gluten- and dairy-free goodies. Highly recommend.”

The Telegraph
“The Telegraph is one of my favorite pubs in London. It has a Coeliac UK accreditation for its gluten-free safety, to boot. The menu has TONS of pub food options that are otherwise hard to find gluten-free. My favorites (pictured) are the steak pie, the sticky toffee pudding, and Sunday roast, complete with a gluten-free Yorkshire pudding.
For all allergens, including gluten, the staff will refer you to a detailed allergen menu they have online where allergens for each dish can be filtered. There is a separate filter for may contains, too—their team is very knowledgeable about gluten, I would hope that knowledge transfers to other allergens too.”

Soho Hobson’s Fish & Chips
“Great fish & chips. Much of the menu is marked gluten-free, including many sides, fries, and onion rings. For fish & chips, you have a choice of cod or haddock. We got cod bites (smaller pieces). Dedicated fryers. Also, several gluten-free desserts. We got sticky toffee pudding. Absolutely delicious meal overall.”

Paladar
“Paladar is one of my favorite restaurants in London: it’s a 100% gluten-free Latin American gem. They also take great pride in their wine list (rightfully so), which adds an extra layer of deliciousness to the experience.
The food? Fire. Well-seasoned meat, tapioca croquettes, and their dessert platter were standouts. The tasting menu is one of the best values in London for the amount of food you get at the price point you pay. Bring friends, and come hungry.
The staff truly understand their allergen protocols and, despite me not having other dietary needs, their responses to friends’ questions who do have inspired confidence for both them and me. Paladar should be on your radar!”

Honest Burgers Baker Street
“Pretty much everything is gluten-free except for the regular buns that they offer. Dedicated fryers, gluten-free buns. Amazing menu. All of the side dishes are gluten-free. We got a gluten-free burger with fries. Everything was delicious. The staff is very knowledgeable, and we felt very safe.”

Los Mochis Restaurant
“Los Mochis is a Mexican/Japanese fusion restaurant that is gluten-free, celery-free, and tree-nut free. The owner’s family has food allergies/autoimmune diseases, so food inclusivity was a driving factor of this restaurant. The food is so, so good, too. 100% gluten-free food has no business being this tasty. The tasting menu is a good value for what you get, and you can work your way through the menu with it. Otherwise, the spicy salmon on crispy rice is a must-try.
There is an allergen matrix on their website for all of their dishes. Soy and sesame are widely used in the kitchen, and cross-contact is more likely with these.”

Wicked Fish Spitalfields
“If you’re gluten-free and missing proper fish & chips, Wicked Fish is a must-visit. This location is 100% gluten-free, and the staff can talk you through their ingredients. Their gluten-free batter is light, crisp, and absolutely delicious; you’d never guess it’s gluten-free. The fries/chips are also excellent, too. There are lots of side dishes. I’m not sure how other allergens are handled but in my experience they are attentive. This is hands-down one of the best gluten-free fish & chips dishes I’ve had in the UK, it’s worth a visit.”

Manteca
“Omg I LOVED THIS PLACE! When I made my reservation online before going to London, I marked my nut and gluten allergy. When I arrived to the restaurant, they had already marked the menu with what was safe for me to eat, like omg I have never had this before! I felt so beyond safe. We sat at the counter and could hear the chef say my allergies out loud when my order was going through. Couldn’t recommend more. And also great food and vibes.”
@swolfe, who manages celiac
Pizza Express
“Another London chain that does an amazing job. UK Coeliac association accredited. All pizza and the dough balls can be made gluten-free. Gluten-free pizza comes out on black tray instead of white plate. Pizza is absolutely delicious.”

Byron Hamburgers
“They immediately ask if anyone has food allergies and they have allergen menu. We have egg, nut, and wheat/celiac and were able to eat. Food is amazing!”

Niche Gluten-Free Dining
“A totally gluten free and nut free restaurant! Really delicious and a great range of full meal options . Highly recommend making a res beforehand as it was very crowded 15 mins after opening and is a small restaurant. I had short rib with mashed potatoes and roasted carrots along with foccia – kiddos had chicken fingers and pasta and my husband had lamb. What dining dreams are made of!”
@sbaier, who manages celiac and tree nut allergies
Indigo at One Aldwych Restaurant
“The food here is on another level! This restaurant is completely gluten and dairy free and is certified by Coeliac U.K. They also handle my nut allergy very well and have a great understanding of allergies and cross-contamination. The menu is quite small but I loved the sound of each dish and wanted to try them all!”

“The most amazing gluten free pizza!!!! Also very helpful waiters with a nut allergy. I went here 4 times while on vacation in london…it is that good!!!”

“Fun place to eat French food with gluten-free and vegetarian menus. Brought us gluten-free, nut-free bread from a local London bakery before our food. Limited nuts.”
