Niche Gluten-Free Dining

Unclaimed

Great gluten free restaurant. Went for a Sunday roast and wasn’t disappointed. The focaccia to share for the table was fantastic, you wouldn’t know it was gluten-free bread. Only downside to the menu would be slightly lacking in vegan options, but great that they do a low FODMAP menu too. Lovely touch to do a birthday dessert as well.

Wonderful place for Gluten Free dining. The menu is very well designed and left us wanting to order more than one dish. The desserts are brilliant too. The staff is very polite and welcoming and the service is fast. Please do book in advance to avoid disappointment.

We ate from the Sunday lunch menu today at Niche. The vibe of the restaurant was very relaxed and cosy. I ordered the focaccia and the lamb roast. The focaccia was lovely and soft, with a beautiful rosemary flavour. The roast was delicious, the only downside was that the lamb had quite a lot of gristle in it. Other than that everything was great and it was so nice to go for a meal as a family, without the worry of gluten contamination. My sister has been a diagnosed coeliac for 6 years now and this is the first fully gluten free restaurant she has visited!

As someone with coeliac disease, dining out can often feel more like a risk than a treat… Scanninh menus for the rare gluten-free option, asking endless questions about cross-contamination, and settling for something safe but uninspired. But stepping into Niche was an entirely different experience. It was overwhelming in the best possible way: everything on the menu is 100% gluten-free and not just the usual sad salad or risotto options, but real, hearty, indulgent food. I started with the fried chicken, and honestly, it was hard to believe it was gluten free. Crisp, golden, perfectly seasoned, it actually tasted like proper fried chicken, something I haven’t safely eaten in years. For mains, I had the schnitzel (generously portioned and delicious), while my partner had the duck pie, which was rich, comforting, and beautifully presented. We both sat there in disbelief, not just because the food was great, but because I didn’t have to ask a single question or feel like a burden to the staff. I could just enjoy the meal. The portion sizes are huge - a rarity for “free-from” dining, and clearly made with love and confidence. I definitely had eyes bigger than my belly, but no regrets! The atmosphere is relaxed and stylish without being pretentious, and the staff are knowledgeable and warm. Niche isn’t just a good gluten-free restaurant, it’s a great restaurant, full stop. But for coeliacs like me, it’s a rare gem that brings peace of mind and a full belly. I’ll definitely be back.

I visited this place with a friend of mine , after the theatre. We didn’t have a reservation and it was around 10min from the time the kitchen would close . The staff were amazing and really nice. Found us a table, gave us all the information we needed, helped us choosing the drinks as well as recommended what was the house speciality. The food was delicious, the music lovely and the atmosphere enchanted. We were the last leaving the place. They are right just towards the end I have noticed it was a gluten free restaurant.
