Absolutely delightful, wholly gluten free food stand. Tupiniquim as an excellent variety of crepe options from savory to sweet - I got one of each (Steak pancake + avocado and the nutella crepe). I sat and enjoyed them but they would make easy walking food, too. Service was quick and the owner was kind and amenable to my questions. Sitting area near by was clean and accessible! read more

Cute place that used to be a police box. 100% gluten free eats here. They have crepes stuffed with all kinds of yummy goodness. I tried the Chicken Curry Piri-Piri. The flavors blended perfectly and it was worth the long walk in the rain to get it. They have a little seating area next to it but it's all exposed to the elements. After you eat you can always go for a stroll through the Middle Meadows Walk or just people watch. read more

Tupiniquim - Chicken curry piri-piri - Brazilian Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Great crepe fusion. Brazilian savory. Incredible and gluten-free . Dessert crepes were to die for.

We were so thrilled to come across this gluten free place in front of the university. My daughter had both a sweet and savory crepe and raved about both of them for weeks. One was definitely enough and she was thrilled to get the other boxed up so she had something incredible to munch on while we hiked about town. The young woman who served us was very warm and pleasant and the whole experience was delightful and contributed to our great love of this city. Will definitely return on our next trip back. read more

My friend suffers with celiac disease & is always struggling to find a place that she can eat out at. We are currently on a Europe trip from California and she's barely been able to eat a real meal the last two weeks. She saw this place was recommended and decided to give it a try. This place was AMAZING. As someone who doesn't need to eat gluten-free (and usually does not reach for it) I would happily eat here any day. The staff was very nice and the crepe I had (Fake Pizza) was so good! The staff offered suggestions and wasn't pushy at all. We will be back many times before we leave here read more

Gluten free crepes. I feel that is all that needs to be said. Anybody who suffers as a coeliac will know how difficult it is to find quick food when out and about that doesn't taste terrible and is more than just a pack of crisps. And also the pang when you see food porn pictures of things like pancakes and crepes knowing that you can't have any that will ever be quite 'the same'. Well, anybody who is in Edinburgh, be you gluten free or not, must stop by this absolute gem. They do sweet crepes such as lemon and sugar for you traditionalists out there and then several others with nuts or chocolate or bananas that are all just so, so tasty. Their savoury crepes are also incredible with several standard offers and their 'crepe of the day'; their chicken curry piri piri is a personal favourite, marinated chicken thigh with spinach, avocado, cheese and marinated peppers and onions - yum. Every Saturday they offer up their 'feijoada' which is, alas, a crepe-less dish but is served with sausage meat, black beans and rice. The crepes themselves are amazing, they're light and fluffy and just perfect. You wouldn't guess they were gluten free like some other items on offer around. They even have a dairy free mix on offer for those of the vegan persuasion. I make it my goal to go here at least once a week, I would suggest you make it a usual stop too. read more

Tupiniquim - A crepe and a feijoada. Perfection. - Brazilian Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Another day, another city and so I found myself in Edinburgh this weekend for a conference. As always, G has an encyclopaedic knowledge of little-known food places and highly recommended we try this little place out - and I'm glad we did! Don't get me wrong this isn't the cheapest food outlet in the world, but there's a level of enjoyment from seeing your food cooked fresh in front of you. I had the chicken crepe and at £4.50 it was the perfect size to kill off the hunger pangs without giving me post-lunch lethargy. Lovely fresh food cooked in front of you, for less than a high street takeaway meal. I'll have that! read more

Delicious gluten-free crepes!! And they're generous portions. I was able to finish mine easily but was also quite full. I ordered the chicken curry piri piri crepe (5 pounds), which had a lot of cheese and a lot of chicken with a decent amount of avocado chunks and other condiments. Not very spicy by my tastebuds, but definitely very flavorful! Be prepared to wait, as the lines can get long and they can only make four crepes at a time. We waited probably around 10-15 min after ordering to receive ours. There are a couple of little wooden tables you can sit at, but I wouldn't bet on them being free haha. The women making the crepes were super friendly! read more

So glad we found this charming little place. The food is delicious and very filling. If I were living in Edinburgh I would make this my favourite foody place not only for the food, but also because of the owners. They are lovely and play some awesome music, including Jorge Ben. My family and I had a great time eating the food and chatting with them. Obrigado. read more

Gluten free. Yay! This tiny police box is my favourite eatery in Edinburgh. Everything is strictly gluten free, fresh, and some dishes can be made vegan as well. The savoury crepes are very tasty and filling. Excellent value for money. read more

Very good, price is cheap. No place to sit. You can stroll and eat. I recommend for a quick lunch.

It's pretty difficult to find gluten free food on the go, and I've all too often had to settle for the emergency food groups of chocolate and crisps to fill the hole. As anyone with dietary problems will agree, it's a bloody godsend when somewhere safe and tasty appears. I discovered this place after they'd been open for about six months, asked tentatively about the sign that offered gluten free crepes and came close to tears when told that EVERYTHING they do is GF. Since then I've been back regularly, and have never once been disappointed (except occasionally on horrible winter days when they might not be open). The couple who run the box are about the nicest people you'll meet in this country, two eternally jolly Brazilians who seem to have bottled their native sunshine to spread happiness to their customers. If you have an awkward request they'll always do what they can to help, whether it's not having the avocado, asking to pick something up later, or thinking about other dietary needs. The crepes are lovely, and it always amazes me how much they can cram into them. I'm more of a savoury person so tend to go for a meaty filling rather than something sweet but both have at different times delighted my mouth and filled up my belly. On Saturdays there is Feijoada, a Brazilian stew of meat and beans, served with rice and greens. I can't count how many times it's been just what I need on a miserable Edinburgh day - assuming it's not all been gobbled up by the queues of Brazilians who come out specially or it. They also make an astonishing selection of fresh juices, often tailored to your mood, and I've seen many customers making faces of exquisite surprise when they take their first sip. They make their own chilli sauce, which is lovely and flavoursome rather than just spicy (say yes if they offer some!), and also Brazilian style cheese balls - GF of course - which you can even buy frozen to take home for later. Oh, and if you work nearby they even deliver at lunchtime! read more

Tupiniquim is THE place for crepes in Edinburgh. I ventured to this place on a cold, rainy February's day, wanting to try something new. When I arrived there were probably at least 6 people waiting outside so there was a queue. I thought it was a good sign, people queuing for something delicious. Tupiniquim is based in a small police box just on the edges of Meadows and a cheerful Brazilian took my order almost immediately. They have a list of daily pancakes with some interesting fillings such as steak pancake, marguerita and chicken curry piri piri. Also sweet options are available e.g. lemon & sugar. I decided to try the chicken curry piri piri one. It was at least 10 minutes wait for my crepe, but boy was it worth it! The filling was generous and in addition to chicken there was spinach, avocado, peppers and cheese plus additional jalapenos (optional). I really enjoyed it and next time I want to try out the sweet 'Monkey Delight' that consists of bananas, chocolate and nuts. I paid £4.80 for my crepe, quite happily as it beats an ordinary sandwich any day. read more

I visited this place expecting to give it a 4/5 rating at least. I mean, how can you mess up a chicken n cheese crepe packed with the taste of Brazil? We'll, here's how - 'cause this kiosk pulled it off. Step 1: be thrifty with the food, and lay the crepe out so it looks it's got more food in it than it actually does. Step 2: claim to bring the taste of Brazil to your customers, then give them the same old filling that they will get in any sandwich place in town. Step 3: charge obviously more than the crepe's worth... ...et voila! Now, don't get me wrong. The crepe does not taste bad at all. I had the chicken something (not the curried chicken, the other one) which was nice and juicy and I downed it in a matter of minutes. It probably is the best salty crepe in town, but in a town famous for its lack of decent creperies, that doesn't say much. Plus, my half-empty crepe cost almost as much as some of the biggest chicken wraps in the vicinity, which are incidentally packed with twice as much grub. As much as I enjoyed the thing, I couldn't overlook this. read more

Better than the savory crepes I've had in Paris! The special ingredient is that cassava flour they use to make it gluten free. Try all the savory crepes! It's plenty of food too, and good to eat on the go. The only problem is long wait times since they can only make 2 at a time. Still, you must try this stuff. We always take our visiting friends here! read more

Great quick lunch option... Everything is fresh, homemade... Family owned and ran. read more

Had the special of the day - roast beef, cheddar, spinach, tomato, mustard, horseradish. It was amazing. Ridiculously good. Owners are super nice too! read more

Tupiniquim - Brazilian Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

A great pit-stop if you are looking for something quick to eat. I had passed the kiosk tons of times whilst heading down middle meadow walk. It does Brazilian crepes, sweet and savoury and they are gluten free. It's usually open all day at least during the week and prices range from about £3-£5. On the way to book group, I was starving after a busy day at work and figured I should have something savoury before tea and cake. My crepe was ready in a couple of minutes, well wrapped up in a paper plate and paper towel which is perfect as there is nothing worse when the bottom literally falls out of a crepe and you end up covered in filling. I opted for mozzarella, sundried tomato and basil and it was lovely. There was a decent amount of all the fillings and some salad too which made me feel vaguely healthy. No spillage at all as it stayed well wrapped as I munched my way across Edinburgh Uni. I'll definitely pop back here when I am in the area and looking for something to eat. The girl who served me was lovely, handing me a menu when I was trying to see what was posted up. The kiosk is tiny but the space is well used - all fresh items are stored in the fridge and two hot plates means crepes can be made two at a time so I suspect if there was a queue, you wouldn't wait long. read more

Pir-piri Chicken Wrap with avocado, spinach, chilli sauce and cheese! Nom nom nom nom nom!!! Great place for a bite on the run, friendly service, fresh produce......tasty!! read more

Wowaweewah! What can I say? This place absolutely does the best crepes in Edinburgh, and I'm lucky enough to work right by it! As mentioned by others, it does get busy during festival time (also please avoid 12.30-1.30 during term time, pesky kids...), and you should be prepared to wait around 10 minutes normally - however, you can't rush perfection right? Just go for a wander down to Sainos and it'll be ready by the time you come back :-) As for the crepes themselves, they are perfectly light yet really filling, but without that omg-I-need-a-nap feeling you would get if they were made with bread. I have tried the 'Release the Chicken' crepe, which was super tasty - however, since then, I've been sold on the butternut squash veggie option (think it's called pumpkin-something or other). You can ask for it with or without cheese, spice or no spice - I asked for mine with a little bit of spice and with mozzarella AND goats cheese. I know, I know, madness! But I had the Monday munchies ok? Basically, if you've ever wandered past and thought about trying it - do it! Do it now!! read more

Been eying this place for a while so ahead of an evening halloween ghost story lecture I popped by to check out the crepes you all have been reviewing. A friendly guy behind the counter greeted me with a smile with playing playing south american music on his guitar this kinda made my day. Options are juice, coffee, soft drinks and a daily list of crepes. I opted for a chicken and cheese crepe which by the sounds of it was what Nik B had. It was pretty good for street food if I am honest and I recieved plenty of food for the £4.50. The chicken wasnt the tastiest of fillings but I asked the kiosk fella to make it spicy so this won me over a bit more. In short: good portionfor the price, great service but was just lacking something to push this place to a 4 star for me. Going to head back for the curry option at some point when I am in need of a quick meal. read more

Went into this with high expectations, as I love savory crepes. I got the chicken piri piri, which was nice, but wish it was a little more spicy. Overall a good lunch. read more

If I could give this place more then 5 stars I absolutely would. These are literally the most delicious crepes I've ever had. I always get the release the chicken and it's amazing every time. The husband and wife who own it are so sweet as well. Every time I come back to Edinburgh this is my first stop! read more

Why isn't this even listed on yelp? Tupiniquium is a little friendly green hut at the corner of teviot and the royal mile, which offers fresh and healthy food and gluten free crepes. Rehearsing at Adam house in Chamber street, I had 30 minutes to grab lunch on the go between rehearsals and the actual performance. I wanted something light, but packed with energy. It also needed to be gluten free... After seeing the nearby prices of sushi, I went for Tupiniquium. I remembered coming here once for a Romeo and Juliet crepe, reminiscent of my travels in Brazil (curd cheese with guava jam!) and it had been really excellent. Yesterday I went for the margherita: Goats cheese, basil, sundried tomatoes, pecans, spinach, jalepenos. Everything was extremely fresh, and the gluten free crepe was just amazing. My boyfriend was determined to go for chips, but quickly developed a craving for a savoury crepe, as he saw mine being made. The guy who serves is always really friendly, and offers daily deals such as £2 nutella crepes. There were 3 juices on the menu, which were made there on the spot, as well as Brazilian cheese bread, guarana (a delicious energy drink which is more popular than coke in Brazil) and Brazilian feijoada. He makes an amazing use of space, and I can see myself returning here regularly to buy food when at uni. The crepe itself was absolutely delicious. It made the perfect pre-show dinner and for £4, wasn't bad, considering the quality of the ingredients. I will be back. read more

Awesome crepes - try the beef one its mindblowing! And gluten free too

An amazing crepe at an amazing price. I can't believe the line was so short in the middle of Fringe. The flavors are all well balanced, whether you go for something light or something spicy. I had the Peri Peri chicken and LOVED it! read more

Cheap and tasty food to-go in a quaint, walk up little shack. I didn't try any of the sweet crepes, but the ham and cheese and the chicken ones were delicious! The woman running the stand was super friendly and it's truly a place you can feel good about spending your money at. read more

Holy crap!!! AMAZING! We had the avocado and the beef crepe...they were both great!!! We also got a delicious fresh juice and the total came to £14!!!! Give this place a try..it won't disappoint!! read more

We ate here during the Fringe Festival, and it was busy! Despite the wait, the crepes were good. I liked the mozzarella, tomato and spinach one the best. I'd love to go back when it's less busy, though, to be able to try a few more fillings! read more

The crepes are unbelievably delicious!! Specially because it's served as soon as it is done. The fillings are generous and delicious, and the couple who owns the place are very sweet people! Tastes like homemade food to me, and it's great read more

GO THERE. Gluten free deliciousness. I was so impressed. And they made it dairy free too (by using an almond milk mixture and replacing cheese with pumpkin). Fresh ingredients and really tasty crepe to hold it all together. Do yourself a flavour. I had chicken curry one, partner had sausage. We both loved it and will be going back tomorrow! read more

Really amazingly good. I'm not familiar with Brazilian style crepes so I don't know how traditional they do the, but the one I had was some of the best street food or any kind of food I've had in a long time. I had the vegetarian (though not vegan) Margherita and they put in so many ingredients - goat cheese, mozzarella, pistachios and all kinds of veggies and spices to make a uniquely delicious concoction for 5 pounds. Makes me wish I could spend more time in Edinburgh so I could return often. read more

It is the best crepe in Edinburgh...I normally eat at tupiniquim and it's always really good and a REAL Brazilian flavour....well done guys!!!! I have to completely disagree with NIK B I guess he is not Brazilian so how can he talk about a REAL Brazilian flavour? The crepe is just amazing and tasty....I was before in different places in town and never tried crepe like they make....so if YOU appreciate a really nice food you won't regret to stop there and try.!!!! ;-) read more

Delicious! When they say "spicy" it's not too hot really. He added butternut squash which was great. Steak is very tasty, the cheese was great. Overall amazing food. We did have to wait about 10min after we ordered out at their outside tables (not much room and it was cold that day) but it was totally worth it to us :) read more
