Gluten-free in Breda – Restaurants
Publieke Werken
Publieke Werken is a cosy, informal and spacious restaurant with a terrace. They serve lunch, 3-course choice menu and à la carte dishes.
During our visit I tried the grilled 300-gram beef rib-eye which was served with arugula and Parmesan cheese. Instead of a truffle gravy I got herb butter. Also some fried grilled vegetables and potatoes (instead of fries) were served as a side. The staff was very friendly and willing to find gluten-free alternatives.
You will find Publieke Werken on St. Annastraat nº12, Breda, The Netherlands.
In Kannen & Kruiken
IKEK is a coffee and lunchroom in Breda, the Netherlands. At In Kannen en Kruiken in Breda it is all about nature, good coffee and tasty food. The friendly vibe will make you feel right at home. In the front, you have small tables to sit which are perfect for a cosy lunch. Halfway through, right by the kitchen, there is a couch and pouf that is perfect for reading or working. The patio in the back of the restaurant is a lovely hang out spot during the warmer days.
Next to all-day-breakfast (yay) there are multiple lunch options as well as some bites and cakes. If you’re vegan or gluten intolerant the friendly staff is happy to point out their gluten-free options for you.
I tried the “Berries in the grass” pie from Sharp Sharp. This cake consists of a chocolate base with lemongrass topped with a strawberry / orange blossom curd layer and a blue / black currant fruit layer on top. In one word: YUMMY.

Inspire Coffee Company
If you are a coffee-love like me make sure to visit Inspire. At Inspire you can enjoy various coffees, fresh tea and fresh fruit juices. Besides there is a nice view on the Grote Markt. Inspire Coffee Company imports their own coffee beans and uses it as their House Blend coffee so that you can always enjoy the best quality coffee.
Next to delicious coffee they have a few gluten-free food options. I tried Lariekoek which is a cake made of dates, nuts, seeds, gluten-free oatmeal, cacao and coconut. Also the fresh juices and homemade ice teas are worth a try.

Eetwinkel kom d’r in
Eetwinkel kom d’r in is a cafeteria with lots of gluten-free snacks. The dream for everyone with celiac disease. The cafeteria also serves normal snacks (with gluten) but don’t be afraid of cross-contamination since all gluten-free snacks are prepared in separate kitchen with dedicated fryers. The daughter of the owner has celiac and therefore the cafeteria takes preparing safe gluten-free food very serious.
During our visit I tried a gluten-free beef croquette (rundvlees kroket), bami disk (bamischijf) an fries with mayo. My fave was definitely the croquette.
You will find Eetwinkel kom d’r in on Nieuwstraat nº126, GIlze, The Netherlands.
