Gluten-free food in Amsterdam?​

In potatoes we trust.

At Salty Waffles, every waffle is made from fresh potato, not flour. Our whole food menu is gluten-free, so if you have celiac disease or eat gluten-free, you can order anything on the menu. No “gluten-free option”, no separate menu, no sad side salad, so order anything on the menu and prepare to have your mind blown…

Why our waffles are naturally gluten-free

A classic waffle starts with wheat flour. Ours starts with potato. We press fresh potato in a hot waffle iron until it’s crispy outside and fluffy inside, then load it with toppings. Think rösti, Reibekuchen or a latke, shaped like a Belgian waffle.

Because the base is potato, we didn’t have to swap anything out or use a gluten-free substitute. The waffle was gluten-free from day one, and we built the rest of the menu to match.

How we handle gluten

If you have coeliac disease, “gluten-free” isn’t enough. You want to know what happens in the kitchen. Here is exactly how we work:

  • No gluten food is prepared here
    Every food item on our menu is made without gluten-containing ingredients. Nothing with wheat, barley or rye is cooked next to your waffle. Better yet, our own lunch doesn’t contain gluten. We try and keep the whole place gluten-free.
  • Gluten-free equipment only
    Our waffle irons, utensils and prep surfaces are only ever used for gluten-free food.
  • We check every ingredient, toppings and sauces included
    Mayo, mustard, pickles and dressings can hide gluten, so we read the allergen information of every product before it comes into our kitchen, and again when a supplier changes a recipe.
  • One exception: some drinks.
    A few of our drinks, such as regular beer, contain gluten. They’re served behind the counter and never come into contact with food prep. Ask us which drinks are gluten-free.

An honest disclaimer:

we’re a small kitchen, not a certified gluten-free facility, and we don’t lab-test our food. We do everything above so you can eat without worrying, but if you’re very sensitive, just ask. We’re happy to show you the labels of the ingredients in your waffle.

Frequently asked questions

Is everything at Salty Waffles gluten-free?

All our food is gluten-free: every waffle, topping and sauce. Some drinks, such as regular beer, contain gluten. Ask us which drinks are gluten-free.

No, well, not the flour you’re thinking of. Our waffles are made from fresh grated potato pressed in a waffle iron. There’s no wheat flour in the batter, because there’s no actual batter (except our special Salty Waffle recipe of course).

We don’t prepare any food containing gluten, our equipment is used only for gluten-free food, and we check the allergen information of every ingredient. We aren’t certified and don’t lab-test, so if you’re very sensitive, ask us to show you the ingredient labels.

Some of our toppings contain milk, egg, fish and mustard. Tell us about your allergy when you order and we’ll tell you what’s in each waffle or check out our allergen list here.
