Free-from restaurants in Windhoek

Café Zoo - La Marmite Royale

Windhoek · Cafe · Vegan · €

The HappyCow listing notes vegan-friendly dishes are available and staff are willing to modify orders, but a reviewer was offered dairy ice cream when asking for a vegan dessert, suggesting uneven staff knowledge. Kitchen practice for cross-contamination is unknown. Best to confirm clearly with staff on the day.

Livega House

Windhoek ·

Gluten-free options are listed on the restaurant's Booking.com entry, though cross-contamination practices and dedicated fryers are not mentioned. Those with coeliac disease should confirm the details with staff before ordering.

Goodfellas Pizza and Pub

Windhoek · Pizza · Steak

HappyCow reviews and the venue's own listing description say that vegan dishes are clearly marked on the menu and that staff understand what 'vegan' means, including on pizza and burgers. The kitchen is shared (pizzeria and pub), so cross-contamination risk with non-vegan ingredients exists. It is best to confirm that the order is prepared separately when visiting.

Krisjan's Bistro Windhoek

Windhoek · Brunch · Cafe

The bistro states it offers gluten- and lactose-free options, including gluten-free pancakes, and a reviewer with gluten intolerance recommends it. The menu is not marked with allergen codes, and there is no mention of dedicated equipment, staff training on cross-contamination, or a dedicated kitchen. Confirming handling procedures with staff when ordering is advisable.

Francesco Restaurant

Windhoek · Cafe · Italian

A few TripAdvisor reviewers mention that gluten-free options like sole and crème brûlée are available and that the kitchen had 'no problem' accommodating gluten-free requests. A couple of listicles also tag the venue as a gluten-free dinner spot, though these are unverified aggregator entries. There is no marked menu, no dedicated kitchen equipment, and no staff training information available. Call ahead to confirm cross-contamination handling.

Leo's Garden Restaurant

Windhoek · · €

A single review from two years ago reports that the owner made a custom gluten-free dish by swapping pasta for rice and removing sauces. However, the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, has no gluten-free menu, and no information is available about current kitchen practices or cross-contamination controls. Calling ahead to discuss needs before visiting is advised.

Olivia's Kitchen

Windhoek ·

A travel blog and a remote-work guide both mention vegan options, and a user review on Expat Choice Guide says the variety of meals including vegan is great. No details on kitchen practice, cross-contamination, or dedicated equipment are available. Calling ahead to confirm is the recommended step.
