Epiphany's Kitchen is a 100% dedicated gluten-free restaurant in Antwerp, with a second branch in Ghent. The kitchen is entirely gluten-free—no gluten-containing ingredients are present on site—so cross-contamination is structurally impossible. Multiple coeliac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree and HappyCow confirm zero symptoms after eating here, and the venue's own website states everything is naturally gluten-free. This is as safe as it gets for coeliac diners.
A 100% dedicated gluten-free bakery in Antwerp. The owner has coeliac disease, so every item — from croissants and bread to cakes and pizza — is made in a kitchen with no gluten on the premises. Multiple coeliac diners report zero reactions across many visits. The selection is split between lactose-free and vegan options, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly.
A 100% dedicated gluten-free Italian restaurant in Antwerp run by a coeliac owner. The entire kitchen is gluten-free (no gluten-containing ingredients on site), with rice- and corn-based flour 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 (more takeaway than sit-down) and the owners speak mainly Italian, so communication can be challenging.
Gluten-free items are clearly marked on the menu (asterisk * marks dishes containing gluten); 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. A strong choice for coeliac diners who confirm their needs with staff.
Gluten-free items are marked on the menu (e. g., Pad Thai, rice noodles) and the staff are reported to be knowledgeable about cross-contact. However, this is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen; customers should confirm preparation practices directly.
Gluten-free items are marked on the menu, and staff are reported to be knowledgeable about coeliac needs—they will check with the chef on request. However, the kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free; fries are cooked in shared oil and standard flour is present (croutons, regular bread). Multiple coeliac diners report positive experiences but note cross-contamination risk from shared fryers. Best for those who are comfortable asking questions and have mild sensitivity.
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 contain gluten), so cross-contamination risk exists. Staff are aware and can advise, but there's no dedicated gluten-free kitchen or equipment.
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. However, the kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free; one reviewer noted a potential cross-contamination risk with 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.
The menu clearly marks which items are gluten-free, and the chef will accommodate allergies when informed. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination is possible; a coeliac reviewer who can handle some cross-contamination reported no issues, but the venue itself warns it is not a dedicated facility. Best for gluten-intolerant diners; those with coeliac disease should call ahead to discuss safety precautions.
The menu marks many dishes as gluten-free or available with a gluten-free option (including gluten-free pita for €2. 50), and the kitchen is entirely plant-based, which simplifies some cross-contact risks. However, there is no dedicated fryer, and a symptomatic coeliac reviewer was told on arrival that 'nothing is really gluten-free' because of shared fryers. Staff are reported as knowledgeable by multiple reviewers, but the lack of a dedicated fryer and the mixed reports mean coeliac diners should ask detailed questions before ordering.
The menu uses a gluten-free icon on every dish, but 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.
Multiple dishes on the menu are marked as glutenvrij or adaptable to glutenvrij, and items such as polenta frites and bonencrème suggest naturally gluten-free components. However, the venue explicitly states they cannot guarantee 100% avoidance of cross-contamination in their small kitchen and production space. While coeliac-friendly options exist, the lack of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen means those with coeliac disease should discuss needs with staff when ordering.
