Send them this before their trip. Save the places to your Chef Amazing and he'll remember them for you, with what to order.
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.
Soy celíaco. No puedo comer gluten, ni siquiera trazas. ¿Este plato está preparado sin contaminación cruzada?
I'm coeliac. I can't eat gluten, not even traces. Is this dish made with no cross-contamination?
Chef Amazing remembers every place you ate, keeps the lists friends send you, and helps you cook it at home.
