Becky avatarPublished by | Last updated 25th November, 2025

Every visit to the UAE is filled with the beauty of nature, water adventures, luxury shopping, and hospitality. This country satisfies the expectations of all its guests. People on a gluten-free diet need to find a comfortable city to stay in.

However, the UAE is one of the most accommodating countries for travelers with a gluten-free diet. Here, 100% gluten-free restaurants and cafes are popular, offering a variety of treats, including yummy cakes, juicy burgers, and even sushi.

And a well-developed infrastructure completes the comfort of staying. To ensure the freedom and independence to drive around and enjoy the finest food, whether in Dubai or any other city in the UAE, consider renting a car.

Oh, no wasting money on a luxury car! Everyone may always view budget options to spend less money on a vehicle while still traveling with comfort. 

Dubai

Dubai is the center for modern restaurants and extravagant dishes. Thus, a gluten-free menu is widely spread here. We have chosen some cool places to visit.

Wild & The Moon 

This is the healthiest restaurant ever! No gluten, sugar, or animal milk. Snacks, salads, bowls – exceptionally natural ingredients. 

Jones The Grocer 

Health, care, attention, and delicious food, starting with hot meals and finishing with drinks. Their best advantage is a staff that is well aware of possible allergies and their results. Here, you are sure that you will receive exactly what you have ordered with no mistakes.

Freedom Pizza

Pizza lovers – welcome! When your body and soul yearn for something familiar and cherished, then rent a car and come to “Freedom Pizza”.They have several locations, so choose the one closest to you and enjoy pizza with dough made from rice and corn flour. Vegans are also welcome here!

Bounty Beets

Next stop is “Bounty Beets”. Attentive personnel, along with delicious courses and desserts, perfectly complement the stylish atmosphere. As a bonus, amazing photos from this place will perfectly fit your Instagram account!

Tasty breakfast or dinner near the sea? These places have something to offer you. 

The Lighthouse Café

Always fresh products, gluten-free dishes, and a relaxing atmosphere on the beach. 

Keto Break

Unbelievably memorable gluten-free desserts are hidden here.

Food Tour with Rental Car

If public transport is ok for you, then nice. However, don’t forget about queues, crowds of strangers, and strict laws in place. Much better is to travel on your own in a rental car. Check these top three arguments to hire a vehicle in the UAE:

Accessibility

Visit even those restaurants far from tourist locations. Discover authentic places for UAE residents. No need to find the right bus or a way from the metro station. Come right to the cafe with no queues and strangers nearby.

No limits.

Follow your desires! Wish a dessert in Dubai – come to Bounty Beets. Starving? Visit Abu Dhabi for Italian dishes at Villa Toscana. Feel the joy? Have lunch on the beach at The Lighthouse Café in Ras Al Khaimah. And finally, have a romantic dinner at Nolu’s Downtown in Abu Dhabi. You have options, so why not use them?

Great traffic infrastructure.

The UAE boasts some of the best roads in the world, as well as an extensive car selection. The driver will enjoy the comfort and smooth ride with joy. 

The UAE is undoubtedly the best choice for people following a gluten-free diet, with numerous 100% gluten-free restaurants offering a pleasant atmosphere and attentive, well-experienced staff.
