The Sizzling Prawns, although on the small side, had great flavour as did the cheesy garlic bread. Decent selection of Gluten Free. Be sure to make a reservation if going at dinner time as the restaurant fills up.

This is a great place with warm, friendly staff and many gluten free options clearly indicated on the menu. They informed me that they use separate fryer for the gluten free menu items!! Actual gluten free fish and chips!! Glute. free salmon and even a gluten free bread basket! All this in a nice atmosphere in a part of the city that is great to explore.

Most of the menu was gluten free or had the option of being made gluten free. Waitstaff was knowledgeable and specified that my food was gluten free when serving it. Everything was so delicious !

Closed on Mondays! So many gf options. We had the mussels, cheesy garlic bread and the battered haddock. My husband had the dirty fries (I don’t think they are gf). He said it was the best food he’d eaten since being in Ireland. Sad I don’t live nearby.

Whilst staying in Belfast taking my daughter to Uni,we found Actons resturant. Amazing place for great choice of GF food and that was with reduced menu. Staff were great and very welcoming. Good knowledge of my requirements. Will definitely be back.

Lovely restaurant. Live music was playing on my visit. I had the gluten free garlic bread and prawns appetizers, along with the Foxes Rock lager. All were delicious. I got the fruit tart as dessert to go, it was more like a slice of pie but yummy.

The staff were so inviting and so understanding. Very clear menu with gluten free options, but all staff also willing to adapt any meal and make its gluten free. I felt listened to by informed staff. Very safe. Will be going back soon to try some of the other interesting dishes.

Well-informed servers, lots of good variety and options, GF (and also V) clearly marked on menus and ability/willingness to alter dishes to make GF when possible. Big bar selection, nice atmosphere with outdoor seating as well as ability to handle larger groups. Service a bit slow but very friendly.

Had the best GF fish & chips here! Black & white Ice for dessert to top it off! I love fried mushrooms so I had to try those as well & was not disappointed! GF knowledgeable, for Americans the service can be considered slow but the Irish are in no hurry so no worries! Highly recommend for future travelers.😊

The menu lists gluten-free and "gluten-free available" options very clearly. There are lots of options! The garlic bread is really good, and the fish and chips are amazing - they do not taste gluten-free at all. They apparently have a dedicated fryer because they use both wheat-based and gluten-free batters on their fried items. (I asked a waiter if it was safe to try my boyfriend's fried side dish, and he said no, but he could bring me an order with gluten-free batter.) The waitstaff is very knowledgeable about celiac disease and what's safe. Highly recommend!
