Having a food intolerance can make travelling and eating out tougher than one might think. You often need to do research before you get to a restaurant to avoid having to awkwardly walk out when you realise there’s nothing to eat. Luckily for coeliacs, Stockholm is an excellent city when it comes to gluten-free places. Here are ten of the best.

1. Under Kastanjen

Bakery, Bistro, Restaurant, European, Swedish, Vegetarian, Coffee, Tea , Fast Food, Street Food

Stockholm has a good mix of restaurants that are totally gluten-free and ones that work hard to provide gluten-free alternatives to their many regular options. Under Kastanjen takes a unique approach. The bakery, based in the Old Town of Gamla Stan, has two different sections, one of which is totally gluten-free. In essence, they have two bakeries in one. They also have a lunch and an evening bistro which both serve a range of exciting dishes, most of which can be made gluten-free.

2. Giro Pizzeria

Pizzeria, Italian

One of the biggest issues for people who cannot have gluten is the inability to get good pizza, with many of the best places often failing to provide alternatives. Giro is one of the best Neapolitan style pizzerias in Stockholm and they can make any pizza gluten-free. They have a huge range of different toppings as well as an excellent wine list making it the perfect place for a romantic meal. It is right by Hotorget subway station so is very easy to find.

3. Lao Wai

Restaurant, Chinese, Asian, Fusion, Vegetarian, Vegan, Fast Food, Street Food, Swedish

Just round the corner from Organic Green is this fully vegetarian Chinese restaurant which produces some of the city’s best Chinese food. The restaurant is small and cosy which matches the food which feels and tastes homemade, as if the menu was designed by someone’s grandmother. They have a huge range of dishes and can make many of them gluten-free, giving you a lot of options to choose from and food that is of very high quality.

4. Movitz

Restaurant, European, Swedish, Gluten-free, Vegan, Vegetarian

Movitz is a cosy pub in Gamla Stan that also has a great restaurant. Their menu features some Swedish classics as well as pasta, superb fish and great meatballs. They also have a kids’ menu in case you have any young diners coming with you. They are happy to make any of their sauces and dishes gluten free but if you have a specific meal in mind they really appreciate you writing to them a few days before to let them know. It is a great location with quality food.

5. Phil's Burger

Bistro, Restaurant, American, Vegetarian, Gluten-free

If you are looking for a sit-down burger restaurant, as opposed to a fast food place like Max, then Phil’s is a fantastic option with six locations in Stockholm all of which can make any burger for you with a gluten-free bun. All the burgers are of excellent quality and they have a different special burger every month that is always fun and creative. For January, it was toppings of truffle mayonnaise, Emmental cheese, fried onion and pickles. A great option for burger lovers.

6. Crispy Pizza Bistro

Bistro, Pizzeria, Italian, Fast Food, Vegan, Vegetarian, European

Another fantastic place to have pizza, especially for vegan coeliacs. In addition to most of their pizzas being gluten free, they can also be made with vegan cheese. They also do takeaways so if you are looking for a place to grab and go then it is ideal. It is also very close to Observatorielunden park so in summer you can pick up a pizza and then eat it in the park.
