TripAdvisor names Edinburgh gluten-free eatery 'best cafe in the city'

An entirely gluten free eatery has been rated by TripAdvisor as the best cafe in the capital.

GF on Dalry Road has been given the crown by the well-known reviewing website after an influx of positive reviews over their menu.

Located just a hop-skip and a jump up from Haymarket Station, the unit actually used to be a Greggs bakery before they vacated the space in 2016.

Opening the following year, GF have been serving up a range of classic cafe dishes, from cakes and pastries to paninis, soups and sandwiches.

Out of 109 reviews on the site, 99 have been given an ‘excellent’ rating, with four at ‘very good’ and just one at ‘average’ level.

Speaking on the platform, a number of customers had praised the variation of gluten free items after suffering for choice in other establishments.

One woman described the venue as a “coeliac’s dream”, and shared that she had visited twice in the space of 24 hours on her visit to Edinburgh.

Another customer echoed her praises, writing: It was a coeliac's heaven going to the GF Cafe, I could have EVERYTHING off the menu and there was so much choice including some dairy free options.

"There was ample seating and the staff were really friendly. Not to mention the food was tasty too. Such a great start to my trip to Edinburgh, highly recommend."

As well as the gluten free range, reviewers were also keen to mention the attentive customer service they received in the eatery, with one writing:

"We visited GF after lunchtime the day we arrived in Edinburgh, we were only looking for something light to eat and tried GF. The lady behind the counter was so lovely, she knew about all the allergens, we ordered a chicken, chorizo and cheese panini to share.

"The panini came out on two different plates with a small salad and it was so delicious. Once we finished the lady gave us some cookies to try as they were going to get rid of them and they were amazing."
