Conesa
Now with two locations in Barcelona, Conesa has been making hot sandwiches since 1951.

With delicious bread, a side of patatas fried in uncontaminated oil, gluten-free beer, and naturally flourless sauces, Conesa proudly offers gluten-free alternatives for nearly 98 percent of their menu.

Els Pollos de Llull
Els Pollos de Llull specializes in roasted, whole chickens. Their menu has expanded over the years to include many pastas, croquetas, and other bread-based products; as they began to receive more and more gluten-free requests from customers, the restaurant decided to change things up in the kitchen. Since their famous chicken was already naturally gluten-free, staff were trained to prevent gluten cross-contamination and are now well-versed in gluten-free options. The menu includes fried potatoes, made in their own dedicated fryer making them a gluten-free option.

La Lluna
Considered one of the best gluten-free restaurants in Barcelona, La Lluna is a great place to get traditional Spanish food. The owners did not set out to become a gluten-free destination but ten years ago, their geographic proximity to the Coeliac Association of Catalunya and customers who came from their offices changed the way their chefs thought about food. The restaurant stopped using wheat flour in sauce bases altogether and the pastries are made with almond meal. Of the few things on their impressive menu that the gluten-intolerant should avoid are the fried foods that may have been exposed to cross-contamination.
