Gluten-Free Restaurants & Cafes in Singapore

The safest places in Singapore for celiacs to eat.

Updated ago

Finding gluten-free options in Singapore is challenging. There are only four dedicated gluten-free kitchens and a handful of places where the risk of cross contamination is minimal.

Dedicated Gluten-Free

The Butcher's Wife

@karenhoran

The Butcher's Wife has a fully dedicated gluten-free kitchen. A great place to entertain without worrying about hidden gluten in your meal. Your non gluten-free friends will not be able to tell the difference. Note: Closed on Mondays

Wakamama 100% Vegan Japanese Fusion (By Reservation)

@karenhoran

In additional to being vegan, everything is also gluten-free. Be sure to call ahead and specify your dietary needs. Personal service - you are literally sitting in the kitchen with the chef. Be sure to book ahead, they fill up quickly.

Honorable Mention

(Not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, but very knowledgeable with minimal risk of cross contamination)

NOURISH TABLE

@karenhoran

Gluten Free Waffles and more! Almost everything here is gluten-free and there is nearly no risk of cross contamination. If you can't find Nourish Table on the map, look for Fusion Spoon instead. Indoor/outdoor seating, high chairs, playground. See our attached blog post for more details and directions.

The Living Cafe

@karenhoran

TLC has extensive gluten-free options on the menu. Bonus, the cafe is completely dairy-free. My favorite dishes are the rice bowl with chicken, coconut lentil curry, and GF waffles. Note: this is NOT a good spot for anyone who is anaphylactic to nuts.

Five Guys at Wheelock/Ion

@karenhoran

Five Guys is the best gluten-free go to spot for a burger and fries. The French fries (crisps) are made from fresh cut potatoes and is the only food put into the fryer. This location is close to a Mark's & Spencer Food Hall where we often pick up gluten-free buns to bring with us. Note: Please see out blog post for ordering details and which foods to avoid.

Decker Barbecue

@karenhoran

Shared kitchen, but the staff in knowledgable and the menu is well marked. Everything that goes into the fryer in gluten-free (fries, wings, cauliflower poppers). There are plenty of meats on the menu to choose from. ** Note: the BBQ sauce in the bottles on the tables contains barley malt, do not use.

Favorites - But Be Careful

Some places we really like - but you need to ask questions and make sure the staff understands your needs.

FOC Restaurant

@karenhoran

Great food, a well marked GF menu, knowledgable staff & a fabulous gin selection; this is one of my favorite dinner spots. Be sure to make a reservation and let them know you need safe gluten-free options.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Gluten Free Singapore

Available for hire

Hello Gluten-Free Travelers! I am Karen Horan and I landed in Singapore in 2011 with a hungry celiac child and gluten intolerant husband. I knew how to do gluten-free in the USA, but Singapore was a whole different place. I spent the first few months checking out grocery stores, wet markets, and hawker centers. I asked questions at restaurants and left disappointed. I researched blogs and articles only to find out the information was out of date. A year after arrival, I started a support group to connect gluten-free expats and locals with friends and resources. We have now been in Singapore for over 12 years. I have put together an entire course of all the information I wished I had at my fingertips before we even boarded our first flight to Singapore. Traveling gluten-free doesn’t have to be stressful! I am happy to help you plan your gluten-free trip to Singapore so that you can maximize your fun and minimize the stress of finding safe food.
