The homemade gluten-free ricotta and spinach ravioli in a rich tomato sauce is as authentic as it comes.

Casa Asia
This family-run Italian restaurant is renowned for their welcoming atmosphere and authentic flavours. There are two locations to choose from, with their Ungasan setting also offering cute, clean, family-friendly rooms to stay whilst you take in the local sights. Pair a large glass of crisp Italian wine with a large bowl of the many gluten-free pastas on offer. We love the fresh flavours of the Spaghetti Allo Scoglio crammed full with black mussels, prawns, squid, clams and Dory fish smothered in tomato sauce.

The Loft
A cosy place with a laid-back atmosphere – perfect for relaxing with a coconut after a surf or chilling with a coffee as you tap away on your laptop. Not only do they have a wide variety of delicious freshly squeezed juices, their food menu has plenty for gluten-free diners. For breakie, chow down on their tempting ricotta hotcakes smothered in whipped coconut cream, nuts, coconut flakes and fresh strawberries. Later on, why not try their morish Mongolian beef bowl or creamy sauteed chicken stroganoff served with rice and chips for a more hearty feed?

Cuca
For a fine dining experience that is a true feast for the senses, Cuca certainly ticks all the boxes! We highly recommend indulging in their Michelin-quality Chef’s Tasting Menu which we guarantee will be one of your Bali dining highlights. There are plenty of coeliac-safe options to sample, from fish tartare, bbq octopus, spicy crab and (our favourite) beef bone and marrow. Paired with one (or two) of their many delicious artisanal signature cocktails, this really is an unforgettable dining experience that will leave your heart (and your belly) full!

Final Words
Whilst all of these restaurants have gluten-free dishes clearly marked on their menus, we recommend always letting your server know that you have an allergy for your peace of mind.
To help explain your food allergy to any restaurant, cafe or hotel staff, show or download these Indonesian or English language cards :
We hope that this restaurant guide makes you feel more confident with eating gluten-free whilst in Bali.
Selamat makan!
