Yeah just lovely, I had the slow beef brisket sandwich, my partner who is coeliac had the frittata.
We sat outside, the staff were lovely. All around positive.
We were in the neighborhood doing some shopping and one of the shoppes mentioned Côte. It was nearby and we walked in during a busy lunch time. The accommodated us very nicely considering we didn’t have a reservation. I adore French food but never get to go when dining with my daughter who is gluten and dairy free. However, they had so many items to choose from for her. The food was outstanding!!! Cannot wait to go back.
Very nice food! I apprechiate that the menu is marked with what is gluten free. Had the chicken skewers, very big portion and everything was tasty. I am a sensitive celiac, had no ill effects after the meal.
We went to celebrate my sister's graduation and the staff made sure to congratulate her which was a very nice touch!
We got a variety of pastas, pizzas, salads and sides. It was all fantastic, including the gluten free Caesar salad which my mum gave a 10/10. High praise.
I had the Pappardelle alla Norcina (Picture attached), which was lovely! I struggled to finish it as we also had garlic bread. My favourite part of the meal however was the focaccia we shared as a starter, which was warm, soft and had great flavour.
Would definitely give this place a go!

Very nice dining atmosphere at this venue and there was an acoustic music gig as well on Halloween. There's a gluten free menu too which is great. Overall, the service was very friendly, especially from Mallory the waitress who served me. The shop could be stocked with a wider variety of souvenir items though.
Absolutely delicious vegan and gluten-free breakfast. You have two options for breakfast. One is the regular full breakfast that contains gluten and the other one is gluten-free variance of the full breakfast. We went with the gluten-free, which was excellent! Great selection of coffee and tea drinks as well. Very friendly service as well! Cute outside patio!
Ah Dishoom! We had a business brunch meeting, not our first, we love this place in the mornings. Bottomless chai and chocolate chai just keep appearing at your elbow, staff are so good. Other coffees and teas also excellent. I'm gluten free so the granola bowl is perfect - granola, vanilla yogurt and colourful fresh fruit always make me so happy. Everyone else went for wraps or the omelette or the bottomless porridge - something for everyone including the dairy-free folk too. We'll be back. Set over three floors, but very popular so do book
Wow, this place was just amazing. We spent 2.5 weeks in Scotland and this was probably our favorite restaurant/meal of the trip. Food and cocktails were amazing. I can’t have gluten and even their meals with no gluten ingredients were fantastic. Wish we had time to go back a second time.
We enjoyed eating our poached eggs on toast at this location. We sat outside and our waitress was very kind. They have gluten free bread available and a few gluten free pastries.
Truly one of the most beautiful restaurants in Edinburgh! Great view and food as well as super friendly and welcoming staff. Also quite fast with the courses. I would only say that maybe they could include more gluten-free options in the starters.
As for the lobster dish, for the price I was a little disappointed at the end of my dish. Small, without accompanying rice.
We have been there for a social work-related dinner. Food arrived quickly, without making anyone wait too long, and it was delicious. I eat gluten free and they were super prepared.
I am writing to share a serious concern regarding my recent visit to your restaurant, ( THE IVY ON THE SQUARE EDINBURGH as I believe it is important for you to learn from this experience and prevent similar situations in the future.
On Saturday, I visited your restaurant for breakfast with my daughter. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the host at the entrance, which gave us a positive first impression. We inquired whether your restaurant could cater to allergies, and we were reassured that your staff was highly knowledgeable about such matters.
Based on this assurance, we ordered sourdough bread and avocado. The waiter informed us that he would ensure the dish did not contain dairy, as my daughter has a severe dairy allergy.
However, just a few minutes after my daughter had taken several bites, the waiter returned and abruptly took the plate from her, saying he needed to double-check something. He reappeared shortly after with a smile, saying that everything was fine, but admitted that he had made a mistake when inputting the order—indicating “gluten” instead of “dairy” as the allergy to avoid.
To make matters worse, he returned the same dish to my daughter instead of preparing a fresh one. This not only felt unhygienic but also demonstrated a lack of care and understanding of how allergies should be handled. Given the circumstances, it seemed unprofessional and dismissive of the seriousness of the situation.
He then casually added, “If you want to talk to someone about this, my name is Rachel,” which we found shocking. A mistake like this could have had severe consequences for my daughter or anyone else with a life-threatening allergy. It was deeply concerning that the situation was treated so lightly.
This experience has left me questioning the seriousness with which your team handles allergy-related requests. Given the potential for life-threatening consequences, it is crucial that your staff undergo thorough training to handle allergies responsibly and with the utmost care.
I hope this feedback prompts immediate action to review your processes and training regarding allergy management. I look forward to hearing how you plan to address this issue.
This wonderful wee retro cafe is definitely my favourite. They offer excellent gluten free options including lots of cakes, the best matcha lattes and fantastic food, and the staff are so warm and lovely - always the obvious choice for weekend brunches with my friends/ anyone visiting me. Highly recommend!
We came in here as it was out first day in Edinburgh. My partner is gluten-free and it looked like a great place to go. It was friendly, a warm welcome and the staff were extremely polite. They even had time to talk you you. Our waitress was called Katie who is from new Zealand. Food was fresh and delicious, very reasonably priced. The burgers were beautiful. We even went back the following night for a few drinks and sat outside. The atmosphere for both visits was great. Definitely recommend going here for food and drink. Thank you for your hospitality. I'll be back when next in the city.
One of the best restaurants and restaurant experiences I have ever encountered. The ambiance when you enter is amazing. So much grandeur. The service is superb, very friendly and knowledgable. The cocktails were delicious and the food was incredible. Plenty of gluten free options and delicious ones too. Must go when in Edinburgh
Excellent covid safeguards. If you like Costa, coffee is good, decent selection of cakes inc (p/p) gluten free brownie. Ensure you have QR code app on your phone for quick registration if your sitting in. Note, alot less tables inside so will struggle at busier times to sit in.
This was a lovely little place for food, with gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options available. Food was fresh, hot and delicious and the staff were very friendly. Our lunch was delicious, well worth a visit.
My wife and I shared 500g of chateaubriand with the triple cooked chips and salad, WOW what a delight coupled together with a Hawksmoor Portuguese red wine. Perfection. Our server Sean was on point with all our queries as my wife is Gluten free. Looking for quality food with an atmosphere to match look no further.
Great food!! So delicious to the point I ate way more than I should have but I couldn’t stop eating it!
Service was amazing and they went above and beyond for me because of a gluten allergy. Attentive and so nice. Highly recommend!
The taste was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent, and the place had an amazing vibe.
I ordered a flat white with cheese croissant, and my husband had an Americano with the summer blueberry cake.
We are from Saudi Arabia

Love this place - they do a great value lunch menu with plenty of choice and they are very gluten free friendly . The only problem is deciding what to choose! The service is also great and they are very friendly and knowledgeable about all the ingredients.
