Gluten Free Barcelona

Spain is a great destination for celiacs. Many products are marked “sin gluten” in the grocery stores, and the Catalan capital – Barcelona – is full of amazing gluten free and celiac friendly restaurants and bakeries.

We were craving good Chinese food for some time, and we’ve finally found it! The restaurant is not 100% GF but the staff is really knowledgeable and even told us upfront that there’s no cross-contamination, so we don’t have to worry. Most of their dishes are gluten free, or can be made gluten free, including their amazing dumplings. They seem to have an extensive desert menu, too, including several flavors of mochi, which we’ll have to try next time.

Celiac plus points: Very knowledgeable about cross contamination. Cooking gluten free dishes for 15 years.

We tried: Dim sum, Stir fried broccoli with shitake, Fried rice

We were surprised to find out that this big store with several branches across Barcelona and Spain is completely gluten free! And they don’t even advertise it much (which is a shame). The chocolate truffles were amazing and we brought a few boxes home with us.
