ecodirect.ie, has a walk in place in parkwest.

Preggos restaurant is supposed to be nice in Lucan.

I personally like Daniels restaurant in Glasthule. Daniel makes everything by hand and chats to my mrs every time we go in. He makes food especially for her.

Red Cortina

Don't forget that real, plain food such as meat, fish, eggs, veg, fruit, rice, potatoes and butter, not to mind herbs and spices, are all naturally gluten free too.

I've heard that the nutritional content of that faux GF food isn't great so you are probably better off making real food from scratch for the majority of the time:)

Clonakility and M&S make GF sausages.
As for chocolate, crisps etc, you are probably better off joining the Coeliac Society of Ireland to get the full listing of GF foods..

You can get it from your chemist i believe, my brother is a coeliac and he has a medical card, he gets a monthly allowance and gets bread, pasta, flour, biscuits and maybe a bit more.

As its something i'm aware of and look out for, i've seen a good range in the larger Tesco (maynooth and naas) and in some of the better Supervalus. Superquinn might be an option too, not sure about Dunnes. I've not seen GF products in Aldi or Lidl.


The range is so much better now, when we were younger all he could get was flour and this pure white bread that came in a tin!

downside is it can be a bit expensive, compared to regular products.

SuperValu have decent range imo. They have Hodgins GF Sausages, Bob's Red Mills Breakfast Cereal (like a fine porridge), cream crackers (:)), GF pasta, bread and biscuits. Rice Noodles are generally gluten-free too but not always - the mainstream brands are generally ok but don't take a chance on rice noodles from an Asian or Oriental shop

I know i can get stuff in Tesco a few people have said it but not sure what they do.. Dunnes do the rice cakes an that.. haven't seen any bread in Dunnes now.. I think someone said to me about the gf sausages that i can get them in Lidl or Aldi and there suppose to be lovely.

I do have a medical card myself and i get the bread, pasta, biscuits.I haven't received the allowance yet because i don't actually know how to go about it!..
Is there a form i get or a letter from my doctor and how much will i get on the allowance?.

coffee to go

Here's a pretty good list of GF food available in Irish shops and actually tastes half decent:

Oh, and re: sausages, the American-style hot dogs from Lidl and Aldi that come in the jars are gluten free.

Hi, I've been getting gluten free food in Dublin for the last few years and the range available is def getting better. I know plain food has much more nutritional value but I guess that goes for non-gluten free options aswell. Sometime you just need to indulge

I live and work in sandyford/rathfarnham area so I find supervalu in churchtown has a great range of gf products especially ones that you dont get in main supermarkets. Supervalu now have ownbrand gf bread which is one of the nicest I've tasted. Tesco own brand for biscuits is good. Dundrum have good stock and have hodgins gf sausages aswell. Superquinn own brand gf sausages are the best though but it can be hard to get them in stock.

Hope that helps

The Village Coffee house in Templeogue can cater to coeliacs and has a range of gf foods to buy and take home. There is a photo of it on their facebook page.

SuperValu's recently launched own brand gluten bread tastes exactly like regular bread :eek:

Same texture and taste - for sure the 1st bread that doesn't need to be toasted to taste better/authentic. Whatever the recipe is they seem to have cracked it.

Making regular sized slices is now there next trick
