"GF Baked Goods"
Address: Frederiksborggade 29, Copenhagen
Website: www.naturbageriet.dk
View Larger Map
Naturbageriet is a little bakery that makes great GF breads & cakes. All of the GF food is stored above the glutenous food, and special tongs are used to grab them as to avoid cross-contamination.
The food itself is really fantastic! The GF breads taste better than any GF bread I've had before! (They are just perfect with butter.) Now if you are looking for something sweet, there is an extensive range of cakes to pick from. Some of my favourites include: the chocolate rum balls, and the chocolate brownies.
This is a must visit if you ever find yourself in Copenhagen.
Absolutely Fantastic!

Palæo - Copenhagen
"Paleo Diet"
Address: Hall 1, Rømersgade 18, Copenhagen OR Pilestræde 32, Copenhagen
Website: palæo.dk
View Larger Map
Palæo is a bar/cafe in the Torvehallerne Market (There is also a cafe in Copenhagen CBD). All of its food is natural, and is designed with simplicity in mind.
Because it is all made to be like the food eaten during the Stone Age, no refined grains (and anything else post-agricultural revolution) are used in it. This is fantastic, as it means everything is GF!
Their wraps are amazing - and are made with an omelette pancake kind of thing. (They don't crumble while you eat them!) You can get them with Salmon, Pork, and Chicken.
They also make GF muffins! You can get blueberry ones, and banana ones too! They are really delicious, and make a great snack. If you want a drink, Palæo makes great juices to quench your thirst. They make a beautiful blueberry juice with mint and apple (Blåbærret), as well as a tasty mint with lemon, apple, and squash.
If you feel like cleansing yourself from the agricultural diet we eat today, come visit Palæo!

Firefly Garden - Copenhagen
"Natural Vegan Food"
Address: Frederiksborggade 26, Copenhagen
Website: en.fireflygarden.com
View Larger Map
Firefly Garden is a restaurant that is completely vegan. This is perfect for anyone with a lactose intolerance, and luckily they provide heaps of GF options. All their food is as organic as it can be, with in season fruits and vegetables coming from local suppliers.
They serve delicious juices and smoothies (soy or almond milk) too! I tried the Exotic Smoothie with almond milk, and it tasted great! Other favourites include the Pink Passion juice, and the Strawberry Coconut smoothie.
For Lunch, I had the Danish Smørebrød. This is a traditional Danish dish of Vegetables and Fruits (traditionally meat too) on bread. It was delicious! The Smørebrød comes in 2 forms, normal or RAW. I had the normal version, but the RAW is GF and is very similar. (minus the glutenous bread)
I also enjoyed the Soup of the Day - Butternut Squash GF. You may also want to try the Daily Lunch plate (It was GF for us). Our's had a nettle polenta on a pea puree, served with a steamed greens, and with sliced daikon. - Fabulous!
The Desserts are very tasty, and you can get them GF too! I loved the Citrus Cheesecake with Rhubarb sorbet. You can also treat your tastebuds to the Cacoa-Avodcado Mousse - delicious!
Firefly Garden has fresh, tasty, organic, healthy GF food.
I would definitely recommend having a meal here!

Le Président - Copenhagen
"Sushi Bistro"
Address: Amagertorv 9, Copenhagen
Website: www.lepresident.dk
View Larger Map
Le President is a Fusion Kitchen restaurant with a big selection of sushi. The kitchen makes all of its sushi gluten free. The in-house sushi chef prepares the food on the spot, and will try to adapt his dishes to the customer's dietary requirements. He even assured us that the Soy Sauce was GF.
The only thing that may not be GF is the wasabi.
The sushi is very nice, but you should think about getting a platter because it is of a good portion size.
This is a good restaurant to visit if you feel like some sushi!

Legoland - Billund
It's not usually known for its food, but Legoland's new initiatives are helping people with dietary requirements eat at its parks.
When I visited Legoland I was surprised to find that every stall selling food had a poster declaring common allergens in its food. (Nuts, Gluten, Dairy, Lactose)
At the Hotdog Stand you can buy gluten free Frankfurters! - You would never expect them to be!
I think that this kind of labelling should be brought to Australian fast food, and also to dining in closed off areas such as concerts, theme parks, and festivals. An idea as simple as this could make a huge difference to people's lives!
I didn't actually try the food at Legoland, but considering some of it is GF, you should give it a try if you end up there one day.
For such a great concept, Legoland Billund should be commemorated.

If you are looking to stay in Flensburg, and would like a classy hotel to stay at, go no further than Alter Meierhof. Besides having comfortable rooms, a great location, and having a spa area (pool, sauna, beauty therapy...) they cater extremely well to GF and other dietary requirements.
The dinner bistro is of a high quality, and the waiting staff will run themselves ragged trying to adapt dishes for you. For breakfast, you will receive the same great help from the staff. You can get tasty GF bread for your eggs, and the fruit, cheese, and meat bars provide other delicious options.
Alter Meierhof provides great GF treatment!!!

Simela - Berlin
"Italian Pizza Restaurant"
Address: Kantstraße 146, Berlin
View Larger Map
Simela is an Italian Pizzeria in West Berlin. You can walk there from the Zoologischer Garten U-Bahn Station (get there via the U2). Simela serves normal pizza, as well as making GF buckwheat pizzas! These Buckwheat bases are extremely tasty & actually resemble a normal pizza base!
While I was there, I tried the Salmon (Lax), Vegetarian, and Margherita GF pizzas. They were cooked in a separate oven to the glutenous pizzas, and they came out on pizza boards covered in foil - just so the residual gluten from prior use wouldn't contaminate them!
The pizzas looked fantastic, and fortunately they tasted even better!
This is some fantastic GF food!!!

Hartweizen is a nice Italian restaurant with good crowds & good food. Unfortunately, none of their pastas are GF... :( They do however, provide great meat and fish dishes GF. I had a dish comprising of Pork, with Potato Mash & Vegetables. It was delicious!

Kaffeemitte is a cute little cafe near the Hackerscher Markt S-Bahn station. Although it looks like an ordinary cafe from the outside, Kaffeemitte's interior is very different and has a great 'feel' to it. GF food wise, you can get a meat & cheese platter for breakfast. If you are looking for something lighter to start your day, you can't go wrong with a delicious fruit salad.
As well as serving great coffee, Kaffeemitte has a GF speciality; Mandelgebäck. These are biscuits made from almond meal, and are extremely tasty!
I would recommend dropping past just to buy one of these!

"Asian Style Tapas"
Address: Rosenthaler Straße 68, Berlin

Transit combines the eating style of Tapas with Asian cuisine. There are lots of GF tapas dishes and drinks that you can order. I would recommend getting a Cremy Gold (Mango Milkshake) while you wait for your food. If you are more interested in cocktails, you should try the Venus Flytrap.
Some of the tastiest dishes I had were the Crispy Pockets, Smoky Sate, Eve's Favourits, and the Nasi Goreng. There are more GF options available in the restaurant, that I haven't listed here.
If you want to eat here, you should try and get a reservation earlier in the day, because tables can be hard to find if you rock up at night.

Monsieur Vuong - Berlin
"Vietnamese Restaurant"
View Larger Map
Address: Alte Schönhauser Straße 46, Berlin
Website: www.monsieurvuong.de
View Larger Map
Monsieur Vuong is a Vietnamese restaurant/(quick drink bar) that prides itself on its delicious and quick food and drink. Because of its light-natured cuisine, most of Monsieur Vuong's food is naturally Gluten Free.
The restaurant itself is nice, with a great atmosphere and buzzing vibe. There are no reservations, and it is always busy, so get there early if you want a table. If you don't get there early enough, dont fret - the turnover is quite quick. The drinks available are fruit based smoothies and cocktails (Mostly GF) - as well as the usual Coke and Sprite! A big favourite of mine is the Mango Shake (GF).
When it comes to food, there are plenty of gluten free options. All the dishes are made from fresh ingredients. The Vietnamese Pho dishes are GF (best to still check with the the waiting staff) as well as other daily specials, such as Chicken Ginger Curry with Rice noodles. The desserts are also GF and taste a bit like smoothie yoghurt desserts. If you want a tea after dinner, I would recommend having a Mince Thé (Mint Tea). These soothing drinks come served in a glass full of fresh mint leaves!
Overall, A fantastic restaurant to visit whether you are Gluten-Free or not!
Eating Gluten Free while Travelling
Although not actually Coeliac myself, I come from a family that does suffer from it and have grown up eating Gluten Free. The members of my family that are Coeliac are extremely sensitive to any presence of gluten, and must eat food completely absent of it.
It's hard enough trying to eat out in Melbourne, but when you start travelling to foreign countries that don't even speak your language it becomes even more difficult.
I'm blogging about our adventures while travelling so that anyone else travelling gluten free has an idea of restaurants, cafés, and shops that they can visit.
