Vapiano

Very interesting purchasing principle. You order your dish directly at a counter from one of the chefs who prepares the food right in front of you. Special features of the food, i.e. whether it is vegan, lactose-free or gluten-free, are clearly marked on the menu and can be selected for many dishes. There are also certain configuration options (e.g. which pasta you would like) for many dishes. At the end of the visit, you show an employee at the exit your card on which your orders are saved and you pay. We even got a small gift in the form of a Haribo bag. If these were available without gelatine, everything would be perfect. 👍

In general, you have to like the processes at Vapiano and be able to handle the ordering process, which is divided into different types of food. However, the allergy information and, above all, the handling of the need to eat gluten-free and contamination-free was flawless during our visit. A menu with an allergen filter is available online for each location, detailed information was available via phone call (Leipzig “only” has gluten-free pizza) and at the ordering point the request to describe the process and be allowed to track everything was respected. A nice experience.

I would always recommend the shop just for the fact that they offer gluten-free pizza! How nice that we were able to eat here with celiac disease and were in good hands. After eating the gluten-free pizza we had no problems and were very happy.
