Top 50 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots Across Japan

The interior of the restaurant is filled with greenery and has a warm, homey atmosphere that makes it very comfortable to spend time in. It seemed like there were a lot of couples there. When I went around 4pm, I was able to get in without having to wait, and my food came out quickly. The seiro set meal had already sold out, so I ordered the one soup and three side dishes set meal. The amount seemed a little small for the price, but it seemed good for my health. They also sold gluten-free cookies inside the restaurant. I'd like to go again.

Fun little vegan and gluten-free cafe. The staff working were friendly and kind. It is a small place and the serves are to the smaller side, too. Maybe more of a snack and treat spot I’d say. We came for lunch and had a pizza and burger plus cake and smoothies and drinks and weren’t full after. The rainbow cake looks beautiful, but wasn’t too flavorful. Tiramisu was more enjoyable. Great alternative cafe if on the search for gluten-free and vegan or dairyfree sweat and savory treats!

This is heaven for any gluten intolerant. I was amazed by their pancakes and sweet staff. Will book a new trip to Japan just to eat here again❤️

Excellent place for people with celiac disease! Everything is gluten-free and delicious. We tried the pepperoni pizza, a baguette, a bacon braid, and a kind of vegan curry-filled bun. It's a small takeout place, although there are a couple of benches outside where you can eat. The guy is very friendly and speaks perfect English. 100% recommended, but we recommend getting there early because they're so fast.

We had been travelling in Japan for Several days, and the members of our party with coeliac was looking for a change. Tucked away on Miyajima, this small cafe is dedicated gluten free. The fried chicken was wonderful, and the curries smelled great. And then there were the donuts… It was just delightful to find such flavors one GF food, almost by accident.

I visited L for You AOYAMA, a gluten-free cafe for intestinal health in Omotesando. I've been eating and drinking a lot these past few days, so I came here to give my stomach a rest (^^)... I had burdock and mushroom intestinal health soy milk soup, a plate of brown rice and vegetables, and pomegranate green tea. I'm so happy it's gentle on my stomach...no guilt... It also came with a small banana bound cake, so I was very satisfied! Thank you for the meal (^_^)!

It's a restaurant that specializes in vegan and gluten-free food, and it doesn't use rice flour, so it was very helpful. The stylish atmosphere was also nice. The food was very delicious and reasonably priced, so it was a good experience.

Camilla Ragazzi

It is definitely not street food and the prices may be slightly higher than average. However, everything was delicious, the portions were just right in quantity according to Japanese standards and above all everything was vegan and gluten-free. I would definitely go back

About a year ago, I started to get stomach problems when I eat wheat. So I went looking for gluten-free restaurants, but many of them were gluten-free and also vegan, but I wanted to eat meat... I found a restaurant in Nara that could fulfill my wish! Of course, they also had gluten-free and vegan options. I had a hamburger on rice flour bread, and it was so nice and satisfying! (It was hard to eat, but that's probably how it is.) The price was quite high compared to regular cafes, but they seem to use carefully selected ingredients, and it's priceless to be able to eat a hamburger like this without getting an upset stomach! There was also a parking lot next to the restaurant. The rice flour scones I bought as a souvenir were also delicious. I'd like to go there if it was in my neighborhood. I'd like to eat there again if I go to Nara.

I ate here no more than 20 minutes ago and it was wonderful. It’s difficult to find gluten free places in Japan, especially along with being vegan - This restaurant was lovely, the food was great and the staff are so kind, friendly and sweet. We had the lunch plates (where you basically get to try a bit of everything, everywhere should do that am I right?!), donut, chocolate waffle and regular waffle - Everything was so nice, I’m vegetarian and my partner is a meat eater, we loved all of it but had opposite favourites to one another so it’s definitely worth a try! Enjoy everyone!

One of the best gluten free cafes in Osaka ! Anyone can enjoy !! Everything was delicious. I personally am not gluten free nor vegan but would absolutely come back for more !

Lucas K

The açaí bowl was very good; however, we found the service disinterested and the atmosphere lacking. If you’re in the area and need a gluten-free bite, it’s worth a stop, but I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to visit this location.

Emily Ko

YALL. Run don’t walk to this bakery. Not only was everything dairy and gluten free but everything, but one dessert, was nut free too! Wow. I highly recommend the black sesame waffle ice cream. I want to come back again 💕

Alma D'Amico

Very nice atmosphere and tasty burgers. I went with my family to finally eat something gluten free ( I'm celiac). The burger that I had was delicious and the lady spoke English so we could communicate and I could be sure to follow my gluten free regime. Definitely a nice place to eat and relax.

Liliane Lapointe

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

Tad Ochwat

This was one of our favorite restaurants in Osaka. They had a great selection and it was perfect for my partner who is vegan and gluten free.

Filippo Montalti

Excellent burgers and very interesting desserts, they also have gluten-free sandwiches so they can satisfy even those who need gluten-free. Service as always friendly, water included, prices slightly higher than average but worth it.

Mark Walker

Great tacos. Really good value and very fast. Many options are gluten free which is why I tried this place. Staff speak English. This place has a bar with 4-5 stools inside for dining in, and another two tables outside. They have a bigger restaurant about 5 minutes walk away with a bigger indoor dining area.

Liron44

The food was amazing, they offer gluten free menu and hiroshi was so helpful and kind. Highly recommended

Lucas Hooper

Gluten free burgers! Very helpful staff could point out which were adaptable to gluten free, even able to warn of cross contamination with the fries. More on the pricey side, but worth it for the delicious food, great selection of drinks and awesome staff. Recommend!

Filippo Montalti

As soon as we arrived at the fish market, we stopped at this pastry shop and tasted some sweets, even gluten-free ones, we liked them a lot. Gluten-free they have cheesecake and ice cream with Macha while for those who were not celiac they have cream puffs that are delicious so we recommend it for everyone.

pietro zani

place with gluten free option including the little white fish that are very traditional of Kamakura. they also have gluten free soy sauce. thank you!

Donna maria Huijskens

It was a really nice experience eating here I am a vegetarian and also intolerant to gluten en she really helped me with picking options. Really recommend this place!!!

Jody Lewin

Food was delicious! Everything was vegan and gluten free. We got the tempeh teriyaki pizza, miso soup, dumplings, and a rice bowl.

I passed by this cafe before going to the beauty salon in Sendagaya. They have a wide variety of drinks and also have gluten-free meals and desserts. This time I only had a drink, but the atmosphere was great and the staff's polite service was wonderful. Next time I'll come for a meal♪

食いしん坊プリンセス

A small cafe with a stylish and relaxed atmosphere. They have a wide selection of gluten-free food and sweets. I had rice flour bread toast and a rice flour bread hot dog, and both were delicious♡ The cute cafe lattes were also soothing♪ This is a wonderful cafe that I would like to recommend to everyone.

工藤拓

I went there on a weekday during the day. The only desserts were gluten-free muffins. The drinks were average. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing.

KISARAN (きさらん)

All the curries were gluten-free, and the naan and chapatis made from whole wheat flour were delicious too. Thank you.

María Larrad

A great place to eat if you're visiting Himeji Castle. Celiacs are welcome: they have 100% gluten-free options. Both the skewers and the rice bowl with plain Kobe beef (no sauce, just salt and pepper) are gluten-free. My partner tried the burger with sauce, and it was also delicious.

Miranda Rose

Yumm, so good!! Had a gluten free strawberry/cream and a curry egg sandwich! It was delicious!

U

Full of healthy things✨️ Black sesame coconut ice cream The cone is also made with rice flour, so it's gluten-free! It was crunchy and super delicious😋

Wesley Human

Highly recommend cafe! Firstly I need to give a shout out to how friendly and good the staff and manager was. The space has a warm modern welcoming feeling. Great for a morning coffee and chill. I had the gluten-free orange cake- mouthwatering and delicious. If you enjoy a stronger cup of coffee I highly recommended this cafe. Thanks again!

A M

Happy to have a gluten free meal. The tacos were delicious.

Anne Namuth

Had a really good GF breakfast with roasted veggies - poached eggs - and sausage. It’s been hard to find a place that is GF and has veggies … so this was appreciated. The meal was big. But we are traveling today and won’t find another GF meal for a while.

Liam Apter

I would absolutely recommend this to other people who are gluten free / celiac. As a celiac I have eaten here twice and they are very helpful when making food that is gluten free. They have an allergy list on their menu which allows you to see all the dishes that are wheat free. Noting they do mention gluten as it is not a formal allergy in Japan. They do offer gluten free bread though! Additionally, they were able to provide meal substitutes - removing a certain sauce - to make it wheat / gluten free. However, do not worry as I have eaten here twice - October 2024 and April 2025 - and as a symptomatic celiac I have had no reaction to it. If you are vegetarian / vegan this may be quite hard to have a full meal here as most dishes involve meat of some sort.

Ben Barber

A small, peaceful cafe on a quiet street. Small food menu with some gluten free + vegan options. Owner was very friendly, thank you for the great coffee + cake.

We had two delicious coffees and some delicious gluten-free pancakes. The service was fantastic, and we had a great time replenishing our energy on the terrace overlooking the surrounding countryside. We would definitely come back! Enjoy!

Stephanie Grace

Lovely tea, great gluten free cakes, quaint relaxing atmosphere and attentive service.

Sabrina Gallardo

Veery yummy vegan+ gluten-free + not sugar (if requested) option in Tokyo. I had the egg crepe, and it was a great balance of chickpeas for the protein, veggies, buckwheat crepe and it came with a little avocado and fermented carrot. A very complete dish. The staff was friendly, the place is nice and I could feel they have high-quality ingredients for a reasonable price. Highly recommend if you are around 🌱✨️

Orimoto Michiko

I came across this restaurant while searching for gluten-free options. The entrance to the restaurant, which is an alleyway off the main street in front of Yasaka Shrine, can be hard to find, but thanks to its secluded location, it's a relaxing, hidden gem where time passes slowly. The female staff are gentle and seem to be fluent in English, so it's a comfortable restaurant for customers from overseas.

Caitlyn Hung

I had breakfast here, and they have gluten free bread option! The servants are friendly and good at English communication. I enjoyed my morning time here.

Paloma Olmos Q.

Excellent burger, I was able to order lettuce instead of bread (gluten free) and I was also able to eat the fries without repercussions. One of the best wheat-free burgers in Japan so far!

Laurène Thébault de Marsilly

Loved the atmosphere, the staff speaks a perfect English and the gluten free cheesecake was really good! And not that expensive compared to other shops.

Joshua Thomson

Very very delicious gluten free donuts! I would travel hours to eat them! Highly recommended if you’re in Kyoto!

katy ereira

100% gluten free churros

ももの

A shop where you can eat stress-free sweets that will make everyone happy ☘️ This shop's sweets are "No, Milk No, Egg No Gluten." That means no eggs, milk, or flour! So even people with allergies can eat it. ☑︎Papa's Waffle Black (half 450 yen) ☑︎Vegan donut Yamabudo (280 yen) ☑︎Milk-free ice cream pistachio (100 yen with mini waffle) ☑︎Butterfly Pea Soda (400 yen) Waffles are made with rice flour, tapioca flour, cane sugar, and soy milk. Very chewy😳 Black sesame was released before and was very popular, but it seems like it's back for a limited time! The flavor of sesame was very good ✨ Donuts are made from okara 🍩 It's so moist that you can't believe it's an okara donut ☺️ This deliciousness is amazing without using 7 allergens! Ice cream uses organic soy milk to reduce calories Rich ice cream without milk, eggs, or flour🥰 I use soy milk, but you can really taste the pistachios. The plain waffle was more crunchy, so maybe the chewiness of the waffle varies depending on the flavor🤔 The white-based stand looks like the Mediterranean and is stylish 🏝️ "I'm looking for a souvenir with a cute package." "I want to eat gluten-free sweets" “I want to enjoy sweets even if I have allergies.” Recommended for those who 🙌

Séverine

I could eat gluten free soba (dry) noodles that are made a 100% with Buckwheat and the Tempura made with rice flour. For coeliacs check if they fry the gf tempura in the same oil as the non gf. But for gluten sensitive it is a nice place to eat gf soba noodles with gf soya sauce.

Andrea Zanotto

The gluten-free chocolate cake and cookies were really delicious. The staff were also kind. If I go to Enoshima again, I'll definitely come here. Cheers from Italy.

めめ

I've been here for lunch several times. I really liked the sea urchin pasta here, which was also made into gluten-free noodles, but to be honest, it was bad this time. There were fewer sea urchins, and I felt that the amount was small. The female staff member also kept asking, "Would you like some water?" and interrupted the conversation. The dishes were cleaned up as soon as I finished eating, and it wasn't busy, so I stayed for about 40 minutes before heading home. Honestly, including the drinks, the lunch costs over 2,000 yen, and it's far from the station, so I don't think I'll go there again.
