That’s why we’ve put together 11 tips for places to eat in Berlin that mainly offer gluten-free options:
Tip 1: Gluten-free feasting in Mitte

Tip 5: Try the slightly different Berlin cantuccini
Made with love and high-quality ingredients, these Italian almond biscuits are crafted for you in Berlin with a modern and creative twist. Whether as a savoury snack with an aperitif or cheese, as a topping for salads, or simply as a sweet treat. The Berlin Cantuccini differ from the classic recipe in a few ways. For example, they contain no gluten or eggs. With the exception of the ‘Cheesy’ variety, there is also no milk in the recipe. By replacing the flour with a high proportion of ground nuts, kernels and seeds, the texture of the Berlin Cantuccini is far less dry. The products are available in the online shop and the small tasting room at the bakery.
