Singapore has taken huge steps when it comes to gluten free food. We've scoured the island for the best places to find gluten free restaurants, takeaway and ingredients.
Going gluten free, whether by medical necessity or personal choice, is never simple. But when you call Singapore home, the options have genuinely improved. The gluten free restaurant scene here has evolved significantly, and there are now cafes and eateries across the island that actually know what they’re doing. The understanding varies wildly, of course. We’ve encountered everything from sheer ignorance (“yes, it has egg”) to moments that made us want to propose to the chef on the spot.
The golden rule: check once, then check again. And when you find a place that genuinely gets it? Support them hard.
Luckily, there are plenty of gluten free options in Singapore, and we’ve done the hard work for all you GF-ers out there. Whether you want to broaden your options for dining out while also ticking the all-important kid-friendly box, or test out your shopping list in some new places (organic is always a good place to start), here’s our rundown of the best gluten free options in town.
How to go gluten free in Singapore
EATING OUT: THE BEST GLUTEN FREE RESTAURANTS IN SINGAPORE
Tiann’s
A bakery with zero gluten and no refined sugar is basically a coeliac’s dream come true. Tucked into Tiong Bahru, Tiann’s is one of Singapore’s most beloved dedicated gluten free spots, and with good reason. The savoury waffles are soft and satisfying, the bakes are dainty but genuinely delicious, and the in-house ice creams and sorbets are made from scratch with real ingredients. If you haven’t been, add it to your list immediately.
Where: Tiann’s, 71 Seng Poh Rd, Tiong Bahru, Singapore 160071. Tue–Sun, 8am–4pm.
The Living Café
The sighs of relief from this lovely café are audible all over Bukit Timah, as diners find the menu marked up with gluten free, nut free, vegan, vegetarian, and raw food dishes. This is the place to go for healthy versions of pizza, ‘cheese’ burgers, lasagna, and brunch favourites such as pancakes and breakfast burritos. The cafe also caters for events and runs cooking classes, and there’s a handy shop stocking supplements, organic food, homeopathic remedies, and other goodies.
Where: The Living Café, 779 Bukit Timah Road, Singapore 269758
OMG Donuts
A dedicated gluten free donut stand that actually delivers on taste? Yes, really. OMG Donuts at Margaret Drive Market is 100% gluten free, which means zero anxiety and maximum enjoyment. Whether you’re a coeliac, gluten sensitive, or just someone who appreciates a properly good donut, this is the kind of find that makes the whole gluten free journey feel a lot less like a compromise.
Where: OMG Donuts, Margaret Drive Market, Singapore
The Butcher’s Wife
Nestled in one of Singapore’s best neighbourhoods for Instagram photos, The Butcher’s Wife is a fully gluten free restaurant doing European comfort food right. We’re talking grilled stuffed squid, sweet potato gnocchi with crispy kale, roasted pork belly and braised beef, proof that going gluten free doesn’t mean compromising on flavour. Pop in after a Tiong Bahru playground run, or book ahead for a proper date night.
Where: The Butcher’s Wife 19 Yong Siak St, Tiong Bahru, Singapore 168650
The Oatberry Cafe
If you’re gluten free and based in or around Orchard, The Oatberry Cafe at Scotts Square deserves a spot in your regular rotation. Granola is the hero here — nine flavours served with yoghurt or your milk of choice — alongside gluten free waffles, organic acai bowls, oat energy balls, and freshly baked goods. Clean, wholesome, and genuinely delicious.
Where: The Oatberry Cafe, #B1-K1, Scotts Square, 6 Scotts Road, Singapore 228209
Guzman Y Gomez
Mexican food fans, rejoice. Guzman y Gomez have all your gluten free lunch and dinner options sorted. You’re spoilt for choice with their hard and soft shell tacos, nachos and salads. With vegetarian and vegan options available too, check them out at one of their six outlets islandwide including Asia Square, Raffles Place (Chevron House) and Tanjong Pagar Centre.
Where: Guzman Y Gomez, various locations; see website for details
Cocowhip
If you’re feeling uninspired by your usual breakfast options or have an afternoon sweet craving but don’t want to overindulge, Cocowhip needs to be on your radar. This is the only gluten free soft serve you’ll find on our red dot that’s also dairy and refined sugar free, while ALSO being vegan friendly (is there nothing it can’t do?). Try it in original or Cacao, Matcha, or Maqui berry. Get your hands on this tasty little treat at Sarnies.
Where: Cocowhip, available at Sarnies Telok Ayer, 136 Telok Ayer St, Singapore 068601
Kind Kones
Kind Kones delivers freshly churned, all-natural nut and coconut-based ice cream. You’ll find a wide range of gluten-free and kid-friendly flavours to choose from including sorbets with creative flavours like dragonfruit banana and pineapple mint, or a scoop of charcoal vanilla or salted choc chip ice cream. Psst, even the cones are gluten-free!
Where: Kind Kones, 583 Orchard Rd, B1, Singapore 238884
Other gluten-free restaurant options:
They don’t shout about being gluten free, but the raw, plant-based approach at Afterglow by Anglow means that many of the dishes are naturally so. Anything salad-based usually works for a gluten free-er, so the new poké trend is a winner – we like A Poké Theory for its inventive ingredients, and Aloha Poké for a little lunchtime trip to Hawaii. Grain Traders does tasty, healthy lunch bowls with a selection of rice, quinoa or salad bases, and the gluten free chocolate avocado brownie is rather scrummy indeed.
For an authentic Mexican fix with a fun vibe, Lucha Loco and Super Loco serve their tacos on corn tortillas, and in a genuine first for Cantonese food in Singapore, Summer Palace at the Regent Hotel offers a gluten free menu (who’da thunk it!). A chain resto that marks up its menu with gluten free items is a rare find in Singapore, so we’re fans of The Soup Spoon, which has a good range of options. If you’re planning a staycation, or having family in town, it’s worth knowing that Shangri-La Singapore has an expansive gluten free breakfast spread.
EATING IN: WHERE TO BUY GLUTEN FREE PRODUCE IN SINGAPORE
Ryan’s Grocery
Inspired by their son Ryan’s food intolerances, a Singapore couple opened this store in Bukit Timah to cater for those of us in desperate need of good food to enjoy at home. Stocking an excellent range of Australian organic meats, plus fruit, veggies, dairy produce and pantry items, you can get everything you need for a feast at home. The gluten free range is broad, with cookies, crackers, chocolates, chips, sauces, pastas, and baking mixes galore. And, if you don’t feel like browsing the store, stock up online for home delivery!
Where: Ryan’s Grocery, 29 Binjai Park, Singapore 589831
SuperNature
Another great one-stop shop to fill your pantry with gluten free snacks, cooking and baking ingredients, frozen foods, and fresh daily produce. They’ve moved from Forum Shopping Mall to Dempsey, but that’s just an excuse to get a good cup of coffee when you’re grocery shopping.
Where: SuperNature, 26 Dempsey Rd, #01-01, Singapore 249686
Little Farms
The gluten free range at Little Farms seems to grow with every visit and this store packs a punch with its organic produce and other goodies too (and they provide free delivery for online orders over $100). If you visit their Valley Point or Holland Village outlets, you’re in for a treat with their cafe. We can highly recommend an almond milk flat white with gluten free granola and coconut yoghurt…
Where: Little Farms, various locations at Valley Point Shopping Centre, United Square Shopping Mall, Tanjong Pagar Centre and Holland Village @ Holland Piazza
Four Seasons Organic Market
This little treasure trove is a great source of ingredients for baking and cooking, gluten free snacks, and organic goodies such as skincare. We are having a mild love affair with Raglan Coconut Yoghurt and the gluten free Bounce Protein Balls.
Where: Four Seasons Organic Market, Great World City and Parkway Parade
Online-only gluten free stores in Singapore
Glutenfreesg does exactly what it says – caters for the gluten free community in Singapore (along with other dietary needs such as dairy free, egg free, Halal, and more). They even sell toaster bags to prevent cross contamination, freshly baked goods, and alcohol, and the site offers lots of useful tips and recipes.
Everiday Foods is a Singapore brand of pantry staples that’s entirely gluten free. They’ve got a massive range of breads and wraps (yes, wraps! You know how hard these are to come by!), condiments, granola and even cookies. We’re unabashedly fans of their gluten-free cinnamon raisin loaf, chocolate hazelnut cashew butter, and their red chilli, which tastes super with chicken rice. Bonus points as it’s a brand by a nutritionist with three kids of her own. Did we mention they have gluten free baguettes and even bagels?
iHerb is another favourite international site for nutritional supplements, but it’s also quite handy for packaged gluten free goods such as pasta, oats, snack bars, cookies, and plenty more. We’re fans of US brand Mary’s Gone Crackers, and not just for the cute name!
With its selection of gluten free goodies expanding almost daily, head online to RedMart if you can’t make it to a physical store. They’ve got a pretty impressive selection and delivery is super quick. We love that you can get food for the regular folk, as well as the GF crew all in the one place.
For a gluten free birthday, anniversary or baby shower
For a decorated cake (of the standard or ice cream variety), some macarons or muffins, Delcies Desserts and Cakes is your go-to. You know you’re in good hands when a menu lists every possible allergen, and they even consider diabetics and babies in their guidelines.
Prepping for a party? Oh My Goodness makes party platters laden with delish baked goods for all occasions that are free from gluten, dairy and refined sugar without compromising quality, taste or texture. Better order extra because guests will be cleaning the plate faster than you can blink!
Gluten free bread
For gluten free bread that doesn’t suck, look for the Everiday Foods’ Multigrain Seed Loaf in Cold Storage. Freeze it and you’ve got toast that doesn’t feel like a compromise! Other notable gluten free bread purveyors include Baker & Cook, where the gluten free bread is baked fresh on certain days and sold frozen on others, and the fruit loaf from Manhattan East.
Gluten free goodies
Again, Cold Storage and Market Place have a decent range of gluten free products in the Wellness4Life sections (we’re suckers for Kez’s Melting Moments), and in the freezer section you’ll find Amy’s range of gluten free and dairy free products. The Amy’s chocolate cake is a winner when heated up and served with a dollop of ice cream (and maybe some chocolate sauce. Just sayin’), and it’s also available on Redmart. Marks & Spencer also has a small range of gluten free goodies, such as blueberry muffins and coffee walnut cake.
Gluten free nuts, grains and pastas
Tai Sun’s range of nuts is always a winner, and is widely available in supermarkets, convenience stores and pharmacies across Singapore. Bob’s Red Mill’s oatmeal is great for a hearty breakfast (in large packs or ready-to-go cups from most of the stores and supermarkets mentioned above). Don’t pay a fortune for special pasta – grab San Remo’s gluten free spaghetti, penne or spirals. It’s honestly the best we’ve tried and is available in plenty of stores for a fraction of the price of most other gluten free pastas. And when you have a hankering for a good quality pasta dish but don’t have the time or energy to make it yourself? Order one from PS. Cafe Petit (delivery via Deliveroo). The pasta and sauce are served separately, so you can quickly cook your own gluten free pasta at home and throw the tasty sauce on top!
