Gluten-Free And Wheat-Free Places To Eat In Perth

With an increasing number of Western Australians discovering intolerance to gluten and wheat products, gone are the days when gluten-free meant sacrificing your social life. The volume of restaurants and cafes wising up to the plight of the long-suffering gluten free consumer is slowly growing, with more gluten-free options popping up on menus. We’ve tried and tested the best places in and around Perth and Fremantle for gluten-free foodies.

Alternative Bites

When the variety of gluten-free cakes and biscuits on offer at the supermarket gets a bit dull, Alternative Bites is the place to go. There’s nothing mundane about the range of tasty breads, cakes, cookies and pies on offer – and you won’t find a shred of gluten here. The entire menu is free of gluten and wheat, with some products also lactose-free. All menu items are available to take away or enjoy at the Gluten Free Café, where sandwiches and light meals are served for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.
