We are proud to serve great gluten free food!

The Merrion Inn is officially certified by the Coeliac Society of Ireland, which means there’s proper training, care and kitchen practice behind our gluten-free food🍽️

In plain English, it means the team understand cross-contamination, the kitchen follows clear procedures, and staff know how to talk guests through the menu properly.

For anyone who has to ask “is it really gluten-free?” before ordering, that matters.

What’s one thing that makes you feel more comfortable ordering gluten-free when eating out?

The wine list is worth a look.

Our wine selection is carefully chosen by the Merrion Inn team, with plenty of choice by the glass and by the bottle. 🍷

A crisp white with lunch, a red with dinner, something sparkling for the table, or a glass recommended by the team if you’re not sure what to go for.

What kind of wine do you usually ask for first?

Bon Appétit!

We’re very grateful for comments like this, especially when they mention the specific dishes that really hit home.

Carefully sourced roast ham, cooked to bring out its natural tenderness, alongside nicely balanced sides, and a chicken curry built on rich, well-developed spices and fresh ingredients.

A dinner with a GREAT athmosphere!

A Merrion Inn gift voucher covers the food, but the bit people remember is often the service.

The staff are truly genuine, wanting to give you the nice lunch or dinner experience you deserve.

Happy faces and a good feeling. And you don’t have to talk to them to feel it. You’ll notice it in their teamwork and the way they support each other🍽️

Who do you know who’d appreciate being properly looked after for an evening?

A rare sight! GLUTEN FREE DESSERTS!

A good gluten-free brownie is hard enough to find. A gluten-free crème brûlée, sticky toffee pudding, apple crumble or sorbet? Now we’re talking. 🍫

At The Merrion Inn, our gluten-free options go well past the usual safe choice. Plenty of dishes can be adapted too, so you can ask the team what suits and still enjoy a proper meal right through to dessert.

Paul! What's the story with the gluten free stuff??

Paul is taking us through the gluten-free options at The Merrion Inn, and there’s plenty to talk about.

We're certified and proud!

Many of our dishes are gluten-free or can be adapted, so you’re not stuck choosing the one safe thing on the menu. Just ask the team, and we’ll talk you through what works for you🍽️

What’s the one gluten-free dish you wish more restaurants did properly?

One last family meal before the school rush.

With International Youth Day here and school prep starting to creep back in, it’s a good time to gather everyone for a meal before the routines take over again🍽️

Bring the kids, treat yourself, and enjoy a relaxed family day out at The Merrion Inn while the evenings still feel a bit like summer.
