FernanDough is a 100% dedicated gluten-free bakery. The owner states the entire menu is gluten-free and all utensils are dedicated to gluten-free preparation. Multiple coeliac diners report no symptoms across several visits. Menu includes homemade breads and donuts, all gluten-free.
Reported as a dedicated gluten-free kitchen by multiple coeliac diners on FindMeGlutenFree — the venue claims 100% gluten-free, makes its own rice/gram/millet flours, and serves hoppers, curries, and desserts without any gluten ingredients. A handful of positive reviews specifically note zero reactions. However, one review describes a violent vomiting episode after eating here, and another flags food-safety concerns (dirty wicker plates, flies, grimy pitchers). Without an independent third-party accreditation (no body like Coeliac UK/Australia certifies Sri Lankan venues), the coeliac classification rests on community reports and the venue's own claims.
Staff are attentive and will read an allergy card, check with the chef, and point out suitable dishes. The menu is not marked for gluten. Multiple coeliac diners report eating safely here — ordering egg hoppers, seafood curry, rice, devilled chicken, and various curries — but the kitchen is shared and not dedicated gluten-free. Bring a Sinhalese translation card and confirm each dish with the team.
The brunch menu marks one item (buttermilk pancakes) as gluten-free using an icon. The kitchen is shared, and no dedicated fryer or separate prep area is mentioned. Cross-contamination is possible, so coeliac diners should confirm with staff before ordering.
