Europe: Gluten Free Bakeries & Restaurants

I know traveling can be tough when you have a dietary restriction. Therefore, I wanted to make it easier and make a gluten free guide to Europe. Some cities do not even have a gluten free bakery, while other cities have several different restaurants and bakeries. The cities in this guide will be: Berlin, Brussels, Dublin, Helsinki, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome and Vienna. If there are any other cities you would like me to add, please let me know below. 

​Berlin, Germany

Berlin, same as Brussels, isn’t a huge gluten-free haven. But, there are a few places that do offer gluten-free options.

• ​Cielo di Berlino      Monumentenstr. 31 10829 Berlin ​​
  • There GF pizza is made in their own separate pan and they use buckwheat flour. On Yelp, it seems to be highly recommended. 
• Suzette Pappelallee 15 10437 Berlin
  • ​Some reviews say they have the best GF products in Berlin. They mainly offer their own Gluten Free crepes and homemade cider. 
• BrewDog Ackerstr 29 10115 Berlin 
  • ​They offer gluten free beer on tap. If you’re a drinker and still want a night out, this will be a perfect place for you.
• Cupcakeladen Frankenstr 15 10781 Berlin 
  • ​They offer gluten free and dairy free cupcakes

​brussels, belgium

• L’atelier de Willy Boulevard Emile Jacqmain 118, 1000 Brussels 
  • Not 100% gluten free, but they have fantastic options to choose from. For dessert, you can have a delicious crème brulee a la vanilla and a variety of different meats- duck, beef or cod.
• I wont lie. I didn’t really find any 100 percent gluten free restaurants or bakeries- so those with Celiac, Brussels might be a nice stop for sceneries, but they don’t have anything specific for places that will be completely safe. 

​

Dublin, Ireland

Dublin seems to offer many restaurants that have gluten-free options, but nothing that is completely gluten-free. I recommend when you go to Dublin to bring some snacks or go to the local groceries and grab salads, small meals, etc. 

• Opium 26 Wexford Street Dublin Dublin 2
  • ​They offer Asian cuisine, which is usually gluten free. Some of their meals are: Vietnamese Rolls made of Rice Paper Rolls, Killary Fjord Mussels and Irish Squid Tempura.​
• The Farm Restaurant 3 Dawson Street Dublin Dublin 2 D
  • ​They primarily use organic and free range products. They have several gluten free products ranging from a Spanish omelet to a Farm Irish Fish Pie. 

​

Helsinki, finland 

For Finland, they have one of the highest rate of celiac in the world. That is why in Finland, you will see restaurants label their dietary restrictions to let people know what they serve- such as vegan, lactose free, gluten-free, etc. I was curious and I researched why Finland is soo welcoming of labeling certain foods. I guess their health system makes it easy to be checked for a food allergy and if you do, they actually compensate you for that specific diet (I sometimes wished I lived in Finland or Norway). 
 

• Sandro Kollia Kolmas Iinja 17, Helsinki 00530 
• Kotipizza Mariankatu 10, Helsinki 00170, Finland
  • This place offers delicious gluten-free pizza. 
• Gluto Street Food
  • This restaurant is 100% gluten free. There is no risk if you have celiac disease.
• Café Smorrebrod Cygnaeuksenkatu 5, Helsinki 00100, Finland
  
• Keliapuoti Gluten-free Bakery

Lisbon, Portugal

 Lisbon is limited with celiac or gluten intolerance restaurants. The main two I found are listed below:

• TelePizza Avenida Dom Joao II 23 Loja 1., Lisbon 1990-097, Portugal
  • Offers gluten free pizzas that are separated by glutenous pizzas
• La Trattoria Rua Artilharia 1 79 | Lisboa, Lisbon 1250-038, Portugal
  • Offers Gluten Free Pizza as well.

​

LONDON

B Bakery
6-7 Chandos Place, Covent Garden, London WC2N 4HU
This bakery isn't completely gluten free, so if you do have celiac, always beware of cross contamination. I absolutely love B Bakery- it has such tasty pastries with such cute packaging. And good thing my gluten free and even vegan friends; they offer these awesome High Tea bus tours of London that includes the tour, sandwiches, tea and pastries. When booking the tour, they will offer you to choose: gluten free, vegetarian, traditional, vegan, etc. This would a great spot to stop off and enjoy a gluten free meal.

Cookies and Scream
​130 Holloway Road Holloway, London N7 8JE
Cookies and Scream is a little bit off the path in London but its all worth it seeing it as a gluten-free and vegan bakery. So there is no worry or fuss about your allergies and the desserts are highly rated. So you are not missing out in any English goodies- especially their warm brownies.
