Finding gluten free places to eat in the Shetland Islands may feel more niche than in larger counties, but there are still some strong options for anyone following a coeliac diet. At the moment, the county has 5 listed eateries across 2 towns, with an impressive average rating of 4.5, making Shetland a promising choice for gluten free dining whether you are staying locally or visiting the islands. The main places to explore are Lerwick and Brae, both useful bases if you are planning meals out while discovering this far northern part of Scotland.

Lerwick is likely to be the first stop for many visitors, especially those exploring the harbour, local shops and the wider Shetland coastline, and it offers several gluten free choices including Waterfront Bar and Grill, The Bay Brasserie and Peerie Shop Cafe. If you are heading north towards dramatic coastal scenery, sea views and popular wildlife-spotting areas, Brae is also worth keeping in mind, particularly with Frankies Fish and Chips standing out as one of the highest rated spots in the county. Whether you are sightseeing around Lerwick or using Brae as part of a wider island trip, the Shetland Islands offer a small but well-rated selection of gluten free eateries to help make eating out easier.
