They don’t have a separate gluten free menu but almost everything can be made gluten free except from 2 or 3 dishes. They do have gluten in the kitchen so cross contamination is a possibility even if they take every precaution. Had the avocado on toast with poached egg for breakfast and a coconut flat white. The avocado on toast came with GF brioche bread which was very nice. The dish itself was nicely prepared with some lovely flavours. I’m a bit of a coffee snob and found the flat white was quite average. If I lived in Manchester I would definitely go back to try other dishes on the menu.
Although they don’t advertise gluten free, most of their menu is naturally gluten free. They are amazing when it come to cross contamination, and they do have gluten free crackers available for one of their sides.
Called in to before seeing David Hockney exhibition. Fitted my friend and I in. Such pleasant service from.all staff. Food was delish. Met my needs for Gluten free. Deffo.be coming back when visiting Manchester again. Lovely find.
This review is for Gluten free diners.
If you’re Celiac forget this place.
I was out with family on a joint birthday meal with my wife, daughter and her boyfriend on the Saturday just gone. Now being Celiac I expect my meals to be not exactly what I would love to eat, but more working out the best solution of what there is that I can. 🤷♂️.
I explained to the waiter that even though I have celiac and would look to be eating anything gluten free, I wouldn’t be bothered if items were described as could be slightly contaminated with wheat etc.
So first up drinks, no gluten free Larger, no Cider so it was water or wine at £47 a bottle - house.
Starters, I went with the meat balls which were fine albeit tiny but very tasty.
Main I asked for the Lamb Shank but with potatoes and not the Pasta, which he replied we can not do that as the menus couldn’t be changed.This due to the Pasta being cooked in the juice of the Lamb Shank, but I didn’t want the Pasta .🤷♂️
Ok So I had the Steak with potatoes, he returned and said you can’t have the potatoes, but can have mushrooms. I agreed as I didn’t want to sound like someone who just moans.
Which I’m not, I never leave reviews etc.
The meal came and I asked for a steak knife, we don’t have them here replied 🤷♂️.
So I was left using what I would describe as the tiniest knife ever.
The knife did cut the Stake, though which was good, but could it cut the mushrooms (no way). As hard as I tried they wouldn’t cut in size so I left the whole portion.
Coffee was fine 👍. (Give the wine a miss though)
The three other meals were all good, so it was just mine wasn’t what I’d expect paying over £300 including the service charge.
If I were the manager I would seriously look at drink and food options for gluten free eaters, we don’t chose to have this allergy. This review is to help gluten free eaters make a choice to eat here.
What would have been the hardship of serving me the Lamb which two others had and enjoyed with veg or potatoes. You should work with you guests, audience no matter what.
I will never return as there are two many decent restaurants in Manchester who would have helped out.

I used to really love coming to dimitris, but on this occasional I was less than impressed. The service as always was excellent but the food just wasn't the same. I used to love the falafel from here but this time it was just a dough ball. It was a paste of flour, no sign of any chickpeas (taste or texture wise). Cumin was about the only thing that could be tasted. When split in half, it was like dough, the same consistency of gluten. I know this economy is tough but I would rather pay more for good quality food.
Authentic Spanish tapas and really knowledgeable staff. Even had GF Croquetas when we were there! GF beer and you can even practice your holiday vocab. Highly recommend.
Although the food was good the service left a lot to be desired. Two of my party have food allergies and when we asked what food met our needs we were met with disdain from the waiter who clearly was not interested. I had to ask three times for him to check with the chef because I didn’t want to guess what items on their menu were gluten and milk free. Would not recommend if you have an allergy because they really do not take this seriously. Very disappointing attitude.
Although it’s not a dedicated gluten free facility there are a lot of gluten free options and the staff are very careful with cross contamination. Great little restaurant for Spanish tapas & they have a great selection of wines too.
