Edinburgh 100% gluten free
Edinburgh 100% gluten free
The lovely city of Edinburgh has many great gluten free places to eat, but this post is dedicated to 100% gluten free venues as part of the UK 100% gluten free series.
The criteria used for inclusion are that the business has to be:
- 100% gluten free (ie no cross contamination risk), and
- have its own outlet that you can visit, such as a shop, café or a stall at a market.
NOTE: THESE LISTS ARE NO LONGER ACTIVELY BEING MAINTAINED BUT YOU MAY STILL FIND SOMETHING USEFUL HERE!
