The Butcher's Wife — Gluten-Free Bistro in Tiong Bahru

Nestled in the heart of Tiong Bahru, The Butcher’s Wife is a vibrant, gluten-free bistro that masterfully blends Latin and Mediterranean flavors.

As a 100% gluten-free establishment, it stands out in Singapore’s dining scene, offering dishes that are both innovative and accommodating to dietary restrictions.

The Hokkaido Scallop Crudo is a standout that hits the sweet spot between refined and refreshing. The scallops arrive pristine and glistening, dressed with a passion fruit vinaigrette that enhances their natural sweetness without overpowering. Grilled, compressed watermelon adds a subtle smokiness and unexpected depth, elevating the dish into a textural and flavor-driven marvel.

For the mains, the Sanchoku Wagyu Picanha is pure decadence. The wagyu is hand-chopped and luxuriously fatty, melting on the tongue with every bite. Served tartare-style, it’s accompanied by airy gluten-free focaccia and a silky garlic dip that brings creamy contrast to the richness of the beef. It’s bold, elegant, and deeply satisfying—proof that gluten-free dining can be every bit as indulgent as its counterparts.

The traditional Portuguese almond cake, Toucinho-do-Céu, made with pork lard, delivers a silky, almost custard-like texture that feels both rustic and refined. Paired with a cachaça semifreddo, it offers a layered sweetness that finishes the meal on a high note—creamy, nutty, and nuanced with just the right hint of booze.

With an expertly curated list of natural wines and genuinely warm, knowledgeable service, The Butcher’s Wife effortlessly bridges the gap between comfort food and culinary craft. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger—whether for a cozy dinner date or a long-overdue catch-up over shared plates and vino.
