Best gluten-free restaurants in West Bay
10 venues in West Bay rated S to B for coeliac · gluten-free, every tier backed by cited sources.
Tier A (Strongly trusted, but unverified): an accreditation by a recognised gluten-free / coeliac-safety body was claimed, but we could not verify the claim against the body's own published list. The body's directory page does not name this venue, and we have no other third-party evidence to corroborate the certification. Other signals on record: dedicated kitchen claimed; dedicated fryer claimed; staff trained. Treat as gluten-free / coeliac-aware rather than gluten-free / coeliac-certified until the venue can produce verifiable accreditation.
Honest caveat, The venue is permanently closed according to its FindMeGlutenFree listing.
Cracked Conch marks gluten-free items on its menu and staff are often knowledgeable about coeliac needs, with some reviewers reporting that the server checked for allergies and explained cross-contamination risks. However, the kitchen is shared, there is no dedicated fryer, and the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. One coeliac reviewer reported mild symptoms after eating. The venue is best for those who can manage some cross-contact risk; call ahead to confirm current practices.

The cafe offers gluten-free bread and gluten-free options on its menu, and staff are reported to prepare food separately with new utensils when notified of coeliac disease.

Best to confirm protocols with staff when ordering.
San Si Wu offers gluten-free noodles and soy sauce, with separate water used to boil GF noodles and a reported dedicated GF fryer. The owner is described as knowledgeable about coeliac issues.
