No gluten-containing ingredients are present on site, so cross-contamination is structurally impossible.

This is as safe as it gets for coeliac diners.

Le Delizie senza glutine

Nationalestraat 45 · Italian · €⁠€

A 100% dedicated gluten-free Italian restaurant operates in Antwerp, run by a coeliac owner. The entire kitchen remains gluten-free, with no gluten-containing ingredients on site; rice- and corn-based flour is used for pizza, pasta, pastries, and bread. Multiple coeliac diners report zero reactions. The owner's own coeliac diagnosis adds a strong insider-led safety layer. The kitchen is very small, with more takeaway than sit-down service, and the owners speak mainly Italian, so communication can be challenging.

De Sinjoor

Oude Koornmarkt 31 · French · €⁠€

Gluten-free items are clearly marked on the menu with an asterisk for dishes containing gluten, while the rest can be made gluten-free. Staff are repeatedly described as knowledgeable and experienced with coeliac customers. The kitchen uses a dedicated fryer for chips and a separate pasta pot, though it is a shared kitchen overall. Several reviewers mention a separate preparation area, but the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. This restaurant is a strong choice for coeliac diners who confirm their needs with staff.

Better than hungry

Lange Koepoortstraat 61 · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

Gluten-free items are marked on the menu (e.g., Pad Thai, rice noodles), and staff are reported to be knowledgeable about cross-contact. This is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, however, and customers should confirm preparation practices directly.

De Pottekijker

Kaasrui 5 · Steak · €⁠€

Gluten-free items are marked on the menu. Staff are reported to be knowledgeable about coeliac needs and will check with the chef on request. The kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free. Fries are cooked in shared oil, and standard flour is present in croutons and regular bread. Multiple coeliac diners report positive experiences but note cross-contamination risk from shared fryers. The restaurant is best for those who are comfortable asking questions and have mild sensitivity.

and/or

Haantjeslei 1 · Vegan · €⁠€⁠€

The menu changes regularly, and gluten-free options vary. The chef confirmed this in a HappyCow reply. The menu includes dishes with sourdough bread and pearl couscous, both of which contain gluten, so a cross-contamination risk exists. Staff are aware and can advise, but there is no dedicated gluten-free kitchen or equipment.

CIRCUS

Kasteelpleinstraat 26 · Vegetarian · €

CIRCUS offers a gluten-free menu with items marked on the menu and uses gluten-free bread from specialist bakeries, Eugene's and Chambelland. Staff are generally knowledgeable, and several coeliac reviewers have enjoyed meals safely. The kitchen is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, however; one reviewer noted a potential cross-contamination risk with the handling of seeds, and another expressed uncertainty about safety for coeliacs. The venue is listed on Find Me Gluten Free with a 'GF Menu' tag but carries a disclaimer that it is not a dedicated facility. Coeliacs are advised to clearly communicate their needs to staff upon ordering.

CLO

Kroonstraat 172 · Vegan · €⁠€

The menu marks gluten-free items clearly, and the chef accommodates allergies when informed. Because the kitchen is shared, cross-contamination remains possible. A coeliac reviewer who can tolerate some cross-contamination reported no issues, though the venue itself warns it is not a dedicated facility. The restaurant suits gluten-intolerant diners best. Those with coeliac disease should call ahead to discuss safety precautions.

Humm

Dageraadplaats 31/33 · Middle Eastern · Brunch · €⁠€

The menu marks many dishes as gluten-free or available with a gluten-free option, including gluten-free pita for €2.50. The kitchen is entirely plant-based, which simplifies some cross-contact risks. There is no dedicated fryer, however, and a symptomatic coeliac reviewer was told on arrival that 'nothing is really gluten-free' because of shared fryers. Multiple reviewers report that staff are knowledgeable. The lack of a dedicated fryer and the mixed reports mean coeliac diners should ask detailed questions before ordering.

eeetwell

Schoenmarkt 22 · · €⁠€

The menu uses a gluten-free icon on every dish, though the kitchen is shared and wraps, ciabattas, and some bowls contain gluten (e.g. naan bread, croutons, panko breading). No dedicated fryer or separate prep area is mentioned. Coeliac diners should confirm cross-contamination protocols with staff before ordering.

Planttrekkerij

Sint-Laureisstraat 76 · Vegan · €⁠€

Several dishes on the menu are marked as glutenvrij or adaptable to glutenvrij. Polenta frites and bonencrème, for example, suggest naturally gluten-free components. The restaurant explicitly states, however, that it cannot guarantee 100% avoidance of cross-contamination in its small kitchen and production space. Coeliac-friendly options exist, but the lack of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen means that diners with coeliac disease should discuss their needs with staff when ordering.
