Gluten free · checked October 29, 2026
Porto takes some care for coeliacs: only a few fully gluten-free places, but one of them makes a gluten-free francesinha, and a handful of kitchens know exactly what celíaco means.
Sou celíaco. Não posso comer glúten, nem vestígios. Este prato é preparado sem contaminação cruzada?I'm coeliac. I can't eat gluten, not even traces. Is this dish made with no cross-contamination?
The whole kitchen is gluten free. Order anything.

Foz side, west of the centre · Rua Padre Himalaya 76
Reported fully gluten free. Source: Find Me Gluten Free (diners' reports), checked October 29, 2026
Get: Cookies, brownies, cinnamon rolls
Small gluten-free sweet shop, worth it if you're out towards the sea.
Not a gluten-free kitchen, but trained for coeliacs: accredited, a separate fryer or a separate menu with real protocols.

Get: The Spanish tortilla
In the tiled São Bento station. Our source's server walked her through the menu and checked with the kitchen, which turned down a dish it couldn't make safely that day. Book.

Cedofeita · Travessa de Cedofeita 24
Fries are fried separately. Ask about each sauce. Source: The Girl Who Goes (a coeliac traveller, updated Apr 2026), checked October 29, 2026
Get: Cod risotto, and fries
Tapas and live music. Gluten-free dishes are marked on the menu.
Plenty you can eat and staff who get it, in a kitchen that also uses flour. Say it's coeliac, not a preference.

Santa Catarina · Rua de Santa Catarina 184
Everything except the bread is gluten free, but it's a shared kitchen. Source: The Girl Who Goes (a coeliac traveller, updated Apr 2026), checked October 29, 2026
Get: A salad bowl with smashed potatoes and truffle mayo
Healthy bowls you can watch them make, and good value.
Plan meals around the few on this list and talk to the staff everywhere else.
Source: The Girl Who Goes (a coeliac traveller, updated Apr 2026)Celíaca for a woman. Most restaurant staff know what it means. Ask if bread is toasted separately, if fries have their own fryer, and if the grill is clean.
Source: The Girl Who Goes (a coeliac traveller, updated Apr 2026)Fresh fish grilled with only salt, like in the Afurada fishing village across the river, is usually safe. Ask about seasonings.
Source: The Girl Who Goes (a coeliac traveller, updated Apr 2026)Sem glúten or isento de glúten means gluten free. Allergens are in bold. Watch for farinha, trigo, centeio, cevada and aveia. Continente, Pingo Doce and Auchan have snacks.

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.
Sou celíaco. Não posso comer glúten, nem vestígios. Este prato é preparado sem contaminação 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.
