Where can I find gluten-free food suitable for someone with coeliac disease in Gibraltar?

Question

Accepted Answer

Gibraltar has a small number of dedicated gluten-free bakeries and cafés, and many restaurants mark allergens on their menus. Supermarkets stock packaged gluten-free products, and crowd-sourced guides such as Find Me Gluten Free list current options with reviews from coeliac diners.
There is no Gibraltar-specific coeliac accreditation scheme, so you will need to check each venue yourself. That said, options have grown in recent years.
Dedicated gluten-free venues: Crowd-sourced listings include bakeries in the town centre reported to be fully gluten-free, which are the safest choice for bread, cakes and snacks.
Restaurants: Many restaurants, gastro bars and cafés mark gluten on their menus or offer gluten-free bread, pasta or pizza bases. Some have been praised by coeliac diners for avoiding cross-contamination. Menus and ownership change, so check recent reviews before you go.
Supermarkets: Larger supermarkets carry free-from ranges, with reviewers noting packaged gluten-free breads, rolls and snacks.
Practical tips: Tell staff you have coeliac disease rather than a preference, and ask specifically about shared fryers, toasters, pizza ovens and flour in the kitchen. Fried foods such as fish and chips are only safe if cooked in a dedicated fryer. Carry a snack in case options are limited, particularly around the Upper Rock where food outlets are few.
Find Me Gluten Free (findmeglutenfree.com) is a useful starting point, as it shows which places are dedicated gluten-free and includes safety ratings from other coeliac users.
