London’s go to gluten-free places

The name of this restaurant is a nice touch and a great reflection of its business, but don’t just take our word for it! Niche’s catchphrase is, “Gluten free, but you wouldn’t know it!” – so you should be excited to find out more.

Niche is 100 per cent gluten, nut and sesame-free, and it uses local suppliers to ensure fresh food daily. Niche is open every day, and its cuisine is its own take on classic British and European dishes, like beer-braised beef short rib or the smokey burger. Plus, it has a cocktail menu including Niche’s signature drinks like El Diablo and the Niche Martini.

Station 26, like Niche, is fully dedicated to providing a gluten-free dining experience. Its dishes are 100 per cent gluten-free, and its mission statement is to “provide the best experience to our customers by serving food that can be at the same time healthy, safe and exquisite”. This statement is supported by a diverse menu with brunch, small dishes, mains and house burger sections for you to choose from. The unique station 26 brekkie drew is a fave, consisting of beans in tomato and red pepper sauce with egg, chorizo and toasted ciabatta bread. If you’re looking to eat a bigger meal later in the day, then you can go for a chicken schnitzel or a grilled vegetable stack. For an outstanding gluten-free meal head to Station 26 ASAP.

What foodie doesn’t love some Mexican street food-inspired dishes? Wahaca is a well known and loved chain of restaurants serving just that, and it has a good reputation for providing gluten-free options.
Some staple dishes of the Wahaca menu you may want to consider trying are the chipotle lime slaw, slow-cooked pork pibil burrito and grilled chicken enchiladas. Just be sure to inform your server that you cannot eat gluten when placing your order. There’s also a separate gluten information menu available on request and many of the dishes can be modified to be gluten-free upon request.

All Indigo’s dishes are dairy and gluten-free, making this restaurant another must-visit for you. In addition, the dishes themselves are downright gourmet. We recommend starting with the John Ross Smoked Salmon or watercress soup, then following this with the day boat Devon fish in beer batter or the 28-day dry-aged grass-fed beef 230GR rib eye. We also think you should finalise your meal with either a rooftop honey parfait or apple caramel and hazelnut delice. Frankly, though, everything here is delicious.

Norma is a contemporary and provocative restaurant, inspired by the food and culture of Sicily with particular emphasis on the Moorish influences on the Island’s cuisine.

Upstairs in the private dining room, guests can order large family-style sharing dishes, with gluten-free options available as well.
