Gluten-free Copenhagen

Eating gluten free here: Good, with care

Copenhagen is good for coeliacs once you know Østerbro: a fully gluten-free Danish bakery with real cinnamon rolls, its deli across the street, and gluten-free smørrebrød on Nyhavn.

What to ask
Jeg har cøliaki. Jeg må slet ikke spise gluten, heller ikke spor. Bliver retten lavet uden krydskontaminering?

I have coeliac disease. I can't eat any gluten, not even traces. Is this dish made with no cross-contamination?

Where to eat

100% gluten free

The whole kitchen is gluten free. Order anything.

Coeliac-careful kitchen

Not a gluten-free kitchen, but trained for coeliacs: accredited, a separate fryer or a separate menu with real protocols.

Good gluten-free options

Plenty you can eat and staff who get it, in a kitchen that also uses flour. Say it's coeliac, not a preference.

Before you go

Østerbro is the gluten-free neighbourhood.

Three of the four fully gluten-free places here are a short walk apart in Østerbro, north of the lakes.

Smørrebrød can work.

Open sandwiches are rye bread, but some places make them on gluten-free bread. Ask.

Check fried sides.

Diners report spring rolls and the like fried in shared oil even where the main dish is safe.

How Chef checks: every place here says it on its own site, or a coeliac writer who ate there does, and we link which. We checked on October 29, 2026. Kitchens change, staff change: if it's coeliac disease, say so every time. Photos marked "a photo like it" aren't of that place. No place paid to be here.

Chef Amazing remembers every place you ate, keeps the lists friends send you, and helps you cook it at home.
