Wow wow wow. Amazing. A must visit. Came with our friends who are non GF and they loved the normal offering. The GF option of rice noodles was so delicious. Very attentive service. Thank you.

Quiet and very nice place a little separated from the crowds. Menus marked gluten free

Anne Namuth

The whole place is gluten free. Between 3 and 5 pm they only serve dessert and drinks. The parfait is phenomenal.

Lydia C.

Amazing spot for dietaries. They have 2 vegan Ramen and offer gluten-free noodles and dishes. The vegan gluten-free dumplings we tried were delicious and their signature Ramen, too. They also serve gluten-free beer. Totally recommended, we will be back.

Katie Graham

Delicious pork kaatsu and Japanese fried chicken (and French fries). Non-GF family members were impressed with quality and authenticity. Hope to eat here again while we are in Kyoto!

Sai Koka

My favorite restaurant my whole trip to Japan. So accommodating. The freshest sushi. Family owned restaurant

Emma Lamomd

Loved this place!! Everything is gluten free (even the macaroni) however the okonomiyaki was certainly the highlight. It was great to not have to worry about cross contamination - cannot recommend it enough

Yuli Ong

We loved our lunch at Loco Chicken. There were gluten and dairy free options and the food was super tasty. We'll definitely be back!

Mechi Barrón

Café planet is a gluten free paradise in Kyoto. Food is very good. I really enjoyed their cookies. The only bad thing is that they are only cash..

Freddy Acevedo

Excellent restaurant with many vegan and gluten-free options. Specialty in Kyoto style Ramen. Excellent and highly recommended.

Liliane Lapointe

Very good gluten free crepes ! Had the ham with onions : so yummy!

Corinna Finney

Very tasty food with gluten free options. The service is slower than the typical ramen-style restaurants where they get you in and out quickly but that didn't bother us.

Michael Cassimaty

Intimate dining with delicious food! The Green Curry and french fries went together great. Recommend it as a coeliac!

Encarni Casado

It is the first place where we can eat gluten-free ramen, it has been a great joy since my friend is gluten intolerant. We have enjoyed eating and they are also charming.

Tina Chu

The best vegan and gluten free desserts I’ve ever tried (and I’m from LA where we’re spoiled with allergen friendly options)! The hojicha cake was my favorite; the matcha cake and ice cream sandwich were fantastic as well. The soy milk tea lattes were a delightful pairing.

Fabio

Great place, super kind and gluten-free food!!! Both savory and sweet are excellent

Zoe

Loved this place! We opted for the 5pm gluten free dining and myself and my non-gluten free partner found the experience 10/10. They do a 5pm gluten free allergen seating and from 6pm gluten is introduced into the kitchen. They are very aware of other allergens as well. Felt like dining at a friendly Japanese home. Hideki-san & Naoko-san share their culinary skills with us and really really know how to cook, entertain and share their love of food and Kyoto. Bookings are definitely essential. Will visit again when we return to Kyoto one day!

Damian Ruchti

very good gluten free food! almost everything possible without gluten.

Seth M

Fantastic service and a great setting. Definitely worth the price tag. I also have a gluten intolerance and the restaurant was very accommodating

Costanza Volpini

A small and very local place where you can cook your own Okonomiyaki on a griddle (one per table). For an additional fee, you can order a gluten-free Okonomiyaki. The prices are very reasonable.

Arnau Roig

Spectacular Curry place, they only have a gluten-free option that is delicious and the value for money is spectacular, 2 plates of rice with curry and two glasses of Coca-Cola for less than €9

Tully Heinrich

Loveed and really want to go back and try the other ramen! Gluten Free noodles were amazing too really creamy broth and has such a cute traditional vibe with tatami mats and a little path, can feel the passion for healing healthy foods here 💌

Pedro Madrid

The best grilled kobe and wagyu meat, spectacular! I went twice and it was quite an experience. Go with gluten-free soy as they don't have it

Drew Beamer

One of the best experiences I've had ever having a meal across the world! Tucked away in a little alley in Kyoto I was reading on google this place had some amazing Udon along with amazing surface which did not disappoint! It may look closed because its tucked away but it is not don't worry! We got the venison soba which Is 100% buckwheat and gluten free! The owner explained all of this through one of the best pocket translators I've ever seen! Follow his instructions to eat it in the best way possible so it compliments your palate! After we had the amazing venison Soba he told us to leave some broth, so he could make a porridge which was even better! The whole meal was DELICIOUS! It was quiet which added to ambiance and made it a very personal experience. The owner/chef is one of the best, and most memorable people we came across during our 2 week trip in Japan. The fact he takes the time to explain how to eat the amazing dish properly , and puts his love into it makes a huge difference. Such a kind man! I hope to visit this place again when we inevitably visit japan again someday 🙌🏽.

Patricia Bonet

Very good food, quiet and comfortable place. There are vegan and vegetarian options, but also a meat option and a fish option. Gluten-free food also specified on the menu. They have vegetable drinks for coffee. Highly recommended.

A cute little vegan cafe that has gluten free options as-well. The menu is small but it is all delicious.

Tatiana

Beautiful place. They have gluten-free options, and the food is delicious.

Very delicous Curry and the salad with housedressing ist fantastic. Very friendly treatment with my glutenintolerance.

Ine

Excellent price-quality ratio. Nice choice of gluten-free and vegetarian dishes. Ultimately opted for a curry. Very thoughtfully, a large paper bib was ready. There were 6 jars of spices on the table that could give the dish extra flavor. Enjoyed lunch here.

Yogita M

The service here is great, and the interior is cute and cosy. It is very small though - 8 seats, squished in together. The fries are nice, strangely not crispy but still yum. Servings are large - the Regular is like a small meal for 2 people. The place is very expensive. It cost close to 5,000 JPY to get regular chips and 2 drinks. The chips and some sauces are gluten-free according to staff.

Afternoon tea was full, so I made a reservation here for lunch. It is also gluten-free and caffeine-free, so you can choose according to your mood. This time, I had a light lunch as I had enjoyed the traditional Japanese cuisine in the morning, but next time I would like to stay at the Park Hyatt and enjoy the food at a more leisurely pace, so I made a reservation.

After traveling in Japan and going to various sushi restaurants I have no doubt this has been the best. The quality of the fish and the cutting skills of the chef were astonishing, the fish melted in your mouth. I really recommend the squid sashimi, and the namida rolls. The service was excellent, they were understanding of gluten free products (which is very rare) and overall admirably cordial. We went early in the evening and the atmosphere was authentic and enjoyable.

Delicious gluten-free Israeli food in Kyoto! The lunch C-Plate of falafels, rice and salad was soooo tasty! Great for coeliacs and nut allergies too.

Bill Smeeth

One of the most amazing experiences in Kyoto, it was fun but not demanding and the food was delicious. The staff were amazing and accommodating, I would highly reccomend. Me being Gluten Free I would reccomend, I'm not coeliac, but we did notice everything was cooked separately and they made a big effort to make sure I wouldn't get the wrong order. 10/10 No Ramen, No Life

Michi T

It is located near Shijo Street, so super convenient to include this restaurant to the travel itinerary. The venue gets crowded very quickly, so it would be better visit early. They seem to have gluten-free options as well, but I have not checked with the staff directly yet.

The restaurant is a teppanyaki place that we just happened to stumble on. We were the only ones there and had a private room. They were so friendly and accommodating. She said she had others ask and asked if she could keep the tamari packet so she could order some. They don't have a gluten free menu but are somewhat aware. The cooktop was extremely clean. We brought our own GF tamari and the chef used it to make our fried rice which was amazing! The vegetables and meat were only seasoned with salt, butter and the oil that he infused with fresh sliced garlic that he had crisped in first The Oomi wagyu sirloin from the Shiga prefecture was hand down the best we've ever had. The chef melted some of the steak fat to cook the meat to perfection. They even gave us a copy of the cow's birth certificate with nose print
