Perth's gluten free scene punches well above its weight — fried chicken shops that do proper GF crumb, a fully gluten free Mexican menu, and Japanese curry you can actually eat. If you're coeliac with IBS on top, this guide covers the venues the community actually trusts — start with where Perth coeliacs actually trust to eat out — plus the FODMAP ordering plays at each one.
The community favourites
Drasko's Hot Chicken The surprise hero of Perth's GF scene: gluten free fried chicken, done properly. Fried chicken is normally the ultimate coeliac trap, which is why a shop that does the crumb safely earns cult status. FODMAP note: crumb and seasoning are ingredient questions — ask what's in the coating, and pair it with slaw (cabbage is FODMAP-safe in portions) rather than honey-heavy sauces.
El Publico A Mexican kitchen whose menu is gluten free, full stop. Corn tortillas are naturally GF, so tacos become a safe staple. FODMAP plays: grilled meats, salsa fresca, corn tortillas. Skip refried beans and ask about onion in marinades.
Run Amok Hotdogs Coeliac-friendly hotdogs — a rare thing. The sausage itself is the FODMAP question: ask what's in it (many sausages carry garlic and fillers) and go for mustard over the sweeter sauces.
Rojiura Curry SAMURAI Japanese curry over rice — rice is one of the safest low-FODMAP bases there is, and Japanese kitchens tend to understand wheat (their curry roux is the gluten question — confirm the GF version). Order with rice, grilled protein, and skip the pickled sides if you're strict-phase.
Angel Falls Grill & KARLA Two names that consistently top Perth's GF-friendly lists. Ask about fryer separation and prep areas, then order grilled proteins and rice-based dishes for the FODMAP layer.
Baguette Me Not A cafe with strong GF handling — good for the safe brunch plate: eggs, grilled protein, GF toast.

These Perth venues already carry five-star, "felt safe" community reviews on Elios Table — check their profiles for the latest verified details:

Chains you can work with
Grill'd — GF buns, all-GF chips from dedicated fryers, GF-by-default fried chicken (less mix-up risk). See our full deep-dive: Is Grill'd Coeliac Safe?. FODMAP order: grilled chicken or beef, no raw onion, mustard over honey mayo.
Betty's Burgers — GF buns and dedicated fries fryer per widespread community reports. Same ordering logic.
Ordering tactics
- "I'm coeliac — is there a dedicated fryer and separate prep area?"
- "I also follow a low-FODMAP diet — can the dish come without onion and garlic?"
- "What's in the sausage/curry roux/crumb?" (hidden gluten AND hidden garlic)
- "Any honey in the sauces?"
Safe orders: grilled steak, plain grilled chicken, rice-based curry, corn tortillas with plain meat, eggs and GF toast.
Traps: sausage fillers, curry roux, honey sauces, raw onion, crumb seasoning, refried beans.
FAQ
Where can coeliacs with IBS eat in Perth? Drasko's Hot Chicken for GF fried chicken, El Publico for a fully gluten free Mexican menu, and Rojiura Curry SAMURAI for rice-based Japanese curry. For pub and steak fare, Meat and Wine Co in South Perth carries five-star community reviews on Elios Table.
Is Perth good for gluten free dining? Yes — Perth has a higher concentration of dedicated-fryer and all-GF-menu venues than most Australian cities, plus an active coeliac community that documents which kitchens genuinely get it. Our Perth trust guide covers the venues locals vouch for.
Is fried chicken low FODMAP? Not automatically. A gluten free crumb solves the coeliac problem, but the seasoning blend can still carry garlic and onion powder. Ask what's in the coating — good fried chicken shops know their ingredients.
