Best gluten-free restaurants in Belsize Park

Teta's

London NW3 5BJ · Lebanese · €⁠€

The owner/chef has coeliac disease themselves, and the kitchen uses a colour-coded system with a dedicated gluten-free station, separate utensils, pots, pans, and a dedicated fryer. Gluten-free items are flagged on the menu and marked with a placard at the table. Multiple coeliac diners report zero reactions across many visits. One isolated wrong-dish incident was caught by staff before the guest swallowed. 97% of the menu is gluten-free.

PizzaExpress

London NW3 2AJ · Pizza · Italian · €⁠€

PizzaExpress Belsize Park offers gluten-free pizza bases, marked GF on the menu. The kitchen uses a dedicated purple pizza slicer to indicate GF orders. Staff are trained to check if the wrong slicer is used. The Coeliac UK listing shows this venue is registered, but the registration is behind a member login, so accreditation cannot be verified. The shared kitchen carries a cross-contamination risk for coeliacs, so diners should always confirm protocols with the team when ordering.

Von Crumb

London NW3 2AG · · €⁠€

Von Crumb provides gluten free schnitzels and sides. Chips are cooked in a separate fryer, and the kitchen uses dedicated prep procedures. Staff switch gloves and prepare gluten free dishes separately. There is a rumour that one of the owner's family members has coeliac disease, which would suggest a personal interest in kitchen safety, but the venue has not confirmed this. The kitchen is shared with non-gluten free items. Guests who have coeliac disease should tell staff when ordering.

Banana Tree West Hampstead

London NW6 1XN · Brunch · Vegan

The menu marks dishes as Gluten Free (GF) and provides an allergen filter to show only GF items. Because the kitchen is shared with wheat-containing dishes, cross-contamination remains possible. Staff are aware and can guide diners, though there is no dedicated gluten-free kitchen or fryer.

Took Took West Hampstead

London NW6 1XJ · Chinese · Thai

Took Took offers a dedicated gluten-free menu and a separate allergen menu, indicating some awareness of coeliac needs. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dishes, however, so cross-contamination remains a possibility. A PDF version of the gluten-free menu is available, and staff can be asked for details.

Vegan Planet

London NW1 7PG · Chinese

The menu clearly indicates gluten content and staff are accommodating, though the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dishes such as seitan and wheat-based mock meats, which means some risk of cross-contamination exists. The Atly listing rates it as 'Accommodating' with trained staff, but not dedicated gluten-free.

Bradleys

London NW3 3NR · French · €⁠€

The menu marks gluten-containing items with (G) and the kitchen is aware of coeliac cross-contamination issues, but it is a shared kitchen and the venue states it cannot guarantee any item is completely allergen-free. A coeliac reviewer on Find Me Gluten Free reported staff awareness of cross-contamination, though the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.

Cinder - Belsize Park

London NW3 5BJ · Modern European · Steakhouse · €⁠€⁠€

The menu marks several dishes with GF codes (Nocellara olives, beetroot, charred carrot, stone bass crudo, and others), but the kitchen uses flour heavily for bread baking and can't guarantee any dish is 100% gluten-free. Cross-contamination risk is openly stated. Staff are described as relaxed and well-informed; tell them about any allergies when ordering.

City Spice - Voted Best Indian Restaurant on Brick Lane

London E1 6RU · Indian · €⁠€

City Spice marks gluten-free items on the menu with GF codes. These include curries, biryani, and butter chicken. The kitchen is shared and not dedicated gluten-free. Multiple coeliac diners report no symptoms. The venue's own website menu (not scraped here) was not independently reviewed. The shared kitchen means cross-contamination is possible; confirmation of protocols with staff is recommended for coeliac diners.

England's Lane

London NW3 4TG · Cafe

The menu marks several items as gluten-free: Superfood Granola, Organic Oat Porridge, Gluten-Free Blueberry Waffles, and Gluten-Free Sweetcorn Fritters. The kitchen is shared, however, and it also prepares gluten-containing dishes such as pancakes, French toast, and brioche buns. No evidence of a dedicated fryer, a dedicated kitchen, or formal cross-contamination protocols exists. Staff awareness is not documented. A gluten-free diner community note reports 'lots of gluten-free options for celiacs' but without verification of dedicated preparation. Coeliacs should confirm with staff and assess risk before ordering.

Franco Manca Belsize Park

London NW3 2AE · Pizza · Italian · €⁠€

A gluten-free pizza base is available (made by Bocconcini Bakery) and the menu marks GF options. However, the kitchen is shared and pizzas are cooked in the same oven as regular pizzas, so cross-contamination is a known risk. A Belsize Park diner with coeliac disease reported no reaction across multiple visits, but reviews from other branches warn of cross-contamination. Staff are aware but cannot guarantee a 100% gluten-free environment.

Ginger & Spice

Hayes UB3 4DF · Indian

This Thai restaurant offers gluten-free options like Pad Thai and fried rice, but it is not a dedicated facility. The cook can make certain dishes gluten-free on request, though one reviewer felt the gluten-free pad Thai was simply missing ingredients rather than a proper substitute. A shared kitchen is used and there is no dedicated fryer. Call ahead to discuss your needs with the cook.

Jam Delish Islington

London N1 0XT · Vegan

The menu marks many items as gluten-free (GF) and offers GF swaps, such as tofu for 'chicken' and nori-wrapped aubergine for 'codfish'. However, the kitchen is shared. The FindMeGlutenFree listing reports that the venue is NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility. A coeliac reviewer noted that about half of the items were GF or could be made GF. Cross-contamination risk is present, and staff should be consulted before ordering.

Purezza Camden

London NW1 7PN · Vegan · Italian · €⁠€

The HappyCow listing states that many dishes are available as gluten-free, and a reviewer on the same site described the gluten-free vegan dough as the best they had ever had.

Coeliac diners should confirm gluten-free procedures with staff before ordering.

London NW3 4RL · Cafe · €⁠€

The menu marks many dishes as gluten-free and includes gluten-free dressings. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing ingredients such as freekeh, tortilla wraps, and orzo pasta. Staff can point out gluten-free options. A build-your-own bowl format makes it straightforward to avoid gluten. No dedicated fryer or dedicated prep area is mentioned, so a risk of cross-contamination exists in the shared kitchen.

The Veg Box Cafe

London NW1 5PH · Vegan · €⁠€

The Veg Box Cafe provides gluten-free options such as cakes, desserts, and mains made with gluten-free soy sauce. Staff members are described as knowledgeable, and the cafe offers a separate gluten-free menu. A shared kitchen is in use, and a FindMeGlutenFree review notes "no dedicated kitchen space," so cross-contamination remains possible. Coeliac diners should confirm safety measures directly with staff.

Meat The Vegans - Multicuisine

London NW1 8AH · Vegan · Chinese

Community reviews on Atly and Good For Allergies report that Meat The Vegans - Multicuisine offers plenty of gluten-free options and that dishes can be made gluten free.

Mildreds Camden

London NW1 7BW · Vegan · Brunch · €⁠€

However, the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dishes (e.g., sourdough flatbread, pasta), and no dedicated fryer or separate prep area is mentioned. Cross-contamination is possible.
