1. glutenfree cafe littlebird
Get whatever comfort dish is on that day, a rice-flour bun burger or a plate of Japanese-Western home cooking, plus a slice from the sweets case. The menu reads like a normal cafe because here it can.
The two owners are both celiac, and the whole cafe is 100 percent gluten-free, so nothing on the board needs a second thought. It is one of the best-known safe havens in Tokyo for a reason, tucked between Yoyogi-Uehara and Tomigaya. Go early, since the small room fills with regulars.
