Best gluten-free restaurants in Cambridge
18 venues in Cambridge rated S to B for coeliac · gluten-free, every tier backed by cited sources.
Browns Cambridge is Coeliac UK accredited, with a separate gluten-free menu, dedicated fryer, and staff trained on coeliac needs. The kitchen is shared, not 100% dedicated, so cross-contamination is possible but managed with dedicated prep space and equipment. Most coeliac diners report safe, positive experiences, though a few note occasional service hiccups or limited options when combined with dairy allergy.
A family-run Italian restaurant in Cambridge where the owner's son has coeliac disease, so cross-contamination is taken very seriously. They have a dedicated gluten-free kitchen space, a dedicated fryer, a dedicated pizza oven, and separate pans for pasta. Staff are described as knowledgeable and will clean the workspace/change gloves for GF orders. Gluten-free items are marked on the menu, and they sell GF products online and in their deli. The kitchen is not 100% dedicated (gluten-containing dishes are also served), but the structural setup and insider motivation make this a strongly trusted choice. One reviewer reported using a dedicated pizza oven in the past, but a more recent review noted GF pizza was not yet available, so it may vary. Always confirm your needs with staff.
Côte Cambridge operates from a shared kitchen but marks gluten-free options clearly on the official menu (using GF and GFO symbols) and offers a separate gluten-free menu. Multiple coeliac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree report positive experiences, noting knowledgeable staff and careful food handling. One reviewer describes it as a 'Coeliac UK accredited restaurant'. However, the venue's own site states dishes may change and advises checking every time; no current Coeliac UK accreditation listing was matched to this specific branch. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing items.
Vanderlyle offers a separate gluten-free menu and makes its own GF breads and brioche, adapting dishes rather than simply removing components. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing ingredients, but several long-term coeliac diners report positive experiences over multiple visits. However, one community-reported incident of a glutening reaction exists, and the venue has no formal accreditation, so cross-contamination risk is present. It's best to clearly communicate coeliac needs when booking.
The menu marks several cakes as GF and offers a gluten-free pizza option for an extra charge, and vegan cheese is available at no extra cost. Sourdough pizza is made in-house with long fermentation and a stone oven; the kitchen also produces wheat-based dough, focaccia, and arancini in the same space. The official menu notes a shared kitchen and directs diners to check the allergen guide in store. An Atly community review reports that their gluten-free pizzas had amazing flavour and texture, with friendly and knowledgeable staff, but there's no dedicated GF kitchen or fryer mentioned. Cross-contamination risk is present, so coeliac diners should verify procedures directly with staff.
Bread & Meat offers gluten-free options including bowls and some sandwiches on GF ciabatta rolls. The menu is not marked for allergens, but staff are reported to be understanding and will confirm coeliac status when asked. The kitchen is shared and small, and one reviewer was told they cannot guarantee against cross-contamination. Bowls are the safest bet; GF ciabatta and poutine are not always available.
The menu marks gluten-free items (gf) and staff are described as knowledgeable by multiple coeliac diners. The kitchen is shared, not dedicated, and no dedicated fryer or prep area is mentioned. Several starters, mains, and sides are marked GF. A coeliac blogger includes Galleria in her Cambridge guide, noting a few GF starters and desserts. Best to confirm cross-contamination procedures with staff when ordering.
Gluten-free items are clearly marked on the menu (GF) and a PDF allergen matrix is available. Staff are generally attentive and will provide tamari/gluten-free soy sauce, but the kitchen is shared and cross-contamination is possible. One coeliac reviewer reported a dish was served then recalled as not GF, so always confirm with the team.
Pizza Pilgrims offers a gluten-free pizza base at no extra cost. The base is cooked in the same oven as regular pizzas — there is no dedicated gluten-free oven — so cross-contamination risk is present. Staff are reported as knowledgeable and accommodating, and a separate gluten-free menu is sometimes mentioned. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dough, so coeliac diners should make their own risk assessment.
Scott's All Day marks GF options on its menu and offers gluten-free pizza and toast cooked separately, plus a dedicated gluten-free fryer. Staff are knowledgeable about coeliac needs—several diners report being warned about malt vinegar in poached eggs. However, the kitchen is very small and shared, the venue explicitly states it cannot guarantee absence of allergens, and the GF pizza base gets mixed reviews on quality. Overall a reliable choice for gluten-intolerant diners but less suitable for those with severe coeliac requiring zero cross-contact.
Zizzi offers a range of gluten-free pasta and pizza options, with a dedicated pasta pot and a separate pizza stone for GF bases. Staff are trained to ask about allergies on arrival and dishes arrive labelled with a 'non-gluten containing' sticker. However, the kitchen is shared, there is no dedicated fryer, and the restaurant itself labels items as 'non-gluten containing ingredients' rather than gluten-free, warning they may not be suitable for coeliacs due to cross-contamination risk. Several community reviews report getting glutened here.
All vegan dishes can be made gluten-free, and the menu marks GF options (e. g., 'VE & GF mousaka'). Staff are clued up on allergens and can advise. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing items like bread and couscous, so cross-contamination risk exists.
The menu pages link to separate allergen menus and the site warns that all dishes are prepared in a shared kitchen where various allergens are present, so no item can be guaranteed completely free from traces. Atly.com community reviewers praise the gluten-free sourdough bread and 'loads of GF choice,' but the venue's own disclaimer about shared preparation and ingredient substitutions means cross-contamination risk is present. Best for those who are gluten intolerant rather than coeliac; call ahead to discuss your needs with staff.
The Oak Bistro in Cambridge, UK, does not have a dedicated gluten-free menu but staff can adapt most dishes. A FindMeGlutenFree community review reports about 75% of the menu was GF on the night they visited, and an Atly community member says most dishes can be adapted. The kitchen is shared and no dedicated fryer or separate prep area is mentioned. Call ahead to discuss your needs.
The Olive Grove has a dedicated gluten-free section on its online menu, and many dishes are marked GF. Staff will check with the kitchen to verify gluten-free status. However, the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing items including pitta bread, souvlaki wraps, and some starters and pizzas. While there's a decent selection of GF options, the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists. Call ahead to discuss your specific needs.
Cafe Blue Sage is a Mediterranean-style cafe on Mill Road, Cambridge, known for its breakfasts and brunches. The blog 'Kasia's Plate' recommends it as a venue that caters for various food intolerances and allergies, but does not mention a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, marked menu, or specific cross-contamination protocols. The FindMeGlutenFree aggregator page does not list Cafe Blue Sage at all. The Google Places listing is a scaffold with no dietary information. The Delhi cafe blog is entirely unrelated. Based on the available evidence, the venue appears willing to accommodate gluten-free requests, but there is no structural information about dedicated equipment, staff training, or a separate fryer. Coeliac diners should call ahead to confirm procedures.
The menu marks one item (Sausages & Mash) as gluten-free. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing pies and pastry, so cross-contamination is possible. Confirm with staff before ordering.
Several menu items are marked GF on the menu, and HappyCow reviewers mention gluten-free options including a vegan & GF bhuna and biryani. However, the kitchen is shared with wheat-containing dishes (naan, etc.) and there is no mention of a dedicated fryer or separate prep area. Coeliac diners should confirm cross-contamination protocols with staff before ordering.
