Stack & Still
Website: http://www.stackandstill.co.uk/
Address: 100-108, 100 W George St, Glasgow G2 1PJ, United Kingdom
Contact details: +44 141 471 0417
Operating hours:
- Monday to Sunday – 9 AM to 8 PM
Cost: ££
Stack & Still can accommodate various dietary requirements, like dairy-free, vegan, and, yep, you guessed it, gluten-free meals that are unsurprisingly tasty! Plus, their menu isn’t just adapted to check these boxes.
A hefty chunk of their options, especially their savoury signatures and some of the sweet signatures, are ready-made gluten-free. I’m talking about their best-sellers like the big breakfast stack, the salmon and avocado stack, and the superfood stack.
Just a heads up, though: when it comes to desserts, sides, and drinks, they don’t have gluten-free options.
Pro tip: Try to head over on a weekday if possible—it’s less busy and gives you more time to work through their fabulous topping selection. And check out their ‘bottomless brunch’ option—you never know, they might have a gluten-free special running!

Amalfi needs to be high up on your radar because it’s mostly 100% dairy-free, and, of course, gluten-free. We’re talking about a menu that specifically calls out to these dietary needs without compromising on the classic Mediterranean flavour we all love.
Dishes like the insalata caprese, chicken risotto, beef stroganoff, and Amalfi meatballs are all gluten-free. Let’s not forget their understanding staff, who are more than happy to accommodate your dietary requirements in any way possible.
They also offer 100% gluten-free pasta and seafood like spaghetti romana, penne alla siciliana, and salmone al forno.
Pro tip: If you fancy beating the dinner rush and scoring a quieter, more intimate experience, aim for a late lunch or an early dinner. You might just get the chef’s undivided attention and some insider recommendations!

You’ll have gluten-free options like their signature burger (of course, it’s gluten-free bread), sirloin steak, and hot smoked salmon.
Many of their classics can also be tweaked to accommodate the gluten-free among us; from soup to mains and desserts, you’re not just stuck with salads.
Pro tip: Try to pop in during off-peak hours if you can; it gives you a chance to really soak in the ambience and maybe even chat with the staff since they’re often more than happy to share cooking tips or dishes on how they make those gluten-free fare.

Red Onion
Website: http://www.red-onion.co.uk/
Address: 257 W Campbell St, Glasgow G2 4TT, United Kingdom
Contact details: +44 141 221 6000
Operating hours:
- Monday to Thursday – 12 PM to 2:45 PM, 5 PM to 9 PM
- Friday and Saturday – 12 PM to 9 PM
- Sunday – 12 PM to 7:30 PM
Cost: £-££
Red Onion is a favourite for many, thanks in large part to its separate and fantastic array of gluten-free options.
Unlike the norm, where ‘gluten-free’ might mean a sad, limp salad, Red Onion takes things up a notch with an entire menu (from starters to mains) keen to serve an array of palates.
You’d be pleasantly surprised to find that the menu is peppered with creative vegan and dairy-free options too.
Pro tip: Their early evening deal is a steal: you get three courses for a fraction of the regular price. Booking ahead is also always a good idea, and they’re super helpful with any allergen information you might need.
