Where to eat gluten-free and lactose-free bites

Since 2016, it has been mandatory for all restaurants in the EU to present a list of the 14 allergens that may be present in their food. While there are few restaurants entirely dedicated to gluten-free or lactose-free foods, there are plenty that offer alternatives on their menu.

The Luxembourg Association of Gluten Intolerants informs and encourages exchanges between people with celiac disease in Luxembourg. They have a full list of association member restaurants and offer gluten-free options on their menu. They also provide training for restaurants that want to incorporate more gluten-free alternatives and also offer several recipes on their website.

The website www.luxembourgsansgluten.com offers a gluten-free grocery store from the comfort of your home, or you can visit Naturalia Where Naturata both of which have a good range of gluten-free and lactose-free groceries, with multiple locations across the country.
