Gluten-Free in Edinburgh
Scotland on thewhole tends to be pretty coeliac friendly. On all previous trips since diagnosis, I don’t think I’ve ever had a problem finding good gluten-free food and this trip was no exception.
On Wednesday night, I was taken to Howies in I think, Alva Street. It was good and they even had a gluten free menu. They also hadn’t been warned to expect a coeliac, something that Gordon Ramsey himself, has said is to be recommended as everybody should benefit.
On Friday night, we went to The Outsider on the King George IV Bridge. This was good and I can’t remember if they actually had a gluten-free menu, but they knew what was gluten-free anyway. Incidentally, they don’t seem to have a web site and I couldn’t see a sign on the front of the building. Perhaps that’s why they’re called The Outsider!

No, they didn’t have an actual GF menu but as you said they seemed pretty clued up. And yes, the signage is atrocious,it’s so discreet (it does exist!) as to be almost invisible. You can just be too trendy sometimes.
