Are you looking for an extraordinary evening of small plates and big flavours, but without the gluten? If this is you, then London’s food‑lover map narrows down to one glowing star: Kapara Soho. We’re nestled in the vibrant heart of Soho, balances east‑meets‑west charm with confident flavours that will tempt every palate – gluten‑free or not.
Why Kapara Soho Stands Out for Gluten-Free Tapas
Soho has a reputation for its energy, nightlife, and food, offering an eclectic mix of dimly lit cocktail bars, buzzing streets, neon signs, and hidden opportunities to fall in love with food. Yet, when you’ve got dietary restrictions such as a gluten-free diet, the buzz can dim quickly.
That’s where Kapara swoops in with our gluten-free tapas options.
When you dine with us, tapas become a celebration of texture and taste so expertly balanced that skipping gluten doesn’t feel like a compromise, but instead it’s a creative moment. We’ve taken our popular small plates, re‑imagined them with care, and matched them with the warmth and vibe of a Soho and London neighbourhood gem whilst making them gluten-free upon request.
Walk in (although we do recommend you book in advance to avoid disappointment) and you’ll see walls wrapped in tasteful sun‑washed hues, flickering with brass accents, and velvet booths – and then the Kapara Soho atmosphere that hums with convivial conversation. There’s real soul here: figs glint on plates, laughter is heard over shared tapas dishes, and all of our flavours are vibrant, honest, and unapologetically bold – not too different to our head chef, Eran Tibi.
What to Order (All Can Be Gluten‑Free on Request)
Here’s just a small selection featuring our playful lineup of small plates – each one can be made gluten‑free on request, so you can taste freely and fully in one of London’s leading restaurants:
Harissa Olives & Preserved Lemon (vg): Bright, sharp, and just fiery enough to make you sit up. These olives come in a harissa bath that’s smoky and sun‑kissed, with preserved lemon bringing that zingy citrus lift.
Spiced Maple Nuts (vg): Think crunchy, sticky, warming. Toasty nuts meet the maple’s sweetness and our bespoke spice blend. A snack you keep going back to, with no gluten‑length compromises.
Chickpea Cakes with Citrus Mayo & Green Harissa (vg): Our golden‑crisp baby cakes are full of gluten-free chickpea goodness. We’ve paired it with a tangy citrus mayo and a verdant kick from green harissa. This small dish is perfectly balanced – and of course, gluten‑free from the first bite if you request it.
Hummus with Short Rib, Chickpea & Tahini, Spiced Rib Stew, Grape Gremolata (vg): Creamy hummus topped with slow‑braised short rib stew and a sharp, vine‑kissed gremolata. Earthy, velvety, and bold taste‑bud magic that works beautifully gluten‑free.
Date & Miso Aubergine with Tahini, Herbs & Pickles (vg): Soft aubergine melds with the salty‑sweet richness of miso and the deep sweetness of dates. Tangy pickles and fragrant herbs finish things off, gluten‑free and full of soul.
Black & Gold Baby Squid with Green Shawarma, Black Garlic & Nectarine: A true show‑stopper which is crispy baby squid, browned until golden, meet lush green shawarma sauce, charred‑sweet nectarine, and deep, mellow black garlic. Refined, daring, and entirely gluten‑free.
Ceviche Catch of the Day with Tiger Milk, Mango & Scotch Bonnet: Fresh fish (always gluten‑free!) gently “cooked” in a vibrant citrus‑based tiger milk, bright mango cubes, and a sneak‑high kick of scotch bonnet pepper, refreshing, but with fire.
This is just a small selection of our gluten-free Tapas in London. We have a much larger selection too, most of which can be made gluten-free upon request. Take a look at all of our menus here.
