dean&david | Bowls, Salate, Curries & Snacks in Essen

Big portions and they give you enough sauce/dressing to fill your big portion 🙏🏼 no dry lettuce for me 😂 They are also very nice and friendly and have a menu that labels their allergens- very accommodating to make things fit within diet restrictions; lots of gluten free options!!

Review from a travelling coeliac :-) This is the *only* chain that I know of in Germany that I can recommend to other gluten free diners including coeliacs. There is a curry dish and many types of mixed salads that can be safely prepared gluten free. Dean & David HQ, local sites and their website and menus all reflect this. Highlights from my experience at Dean & David are: ++ Whilst the online menu indicates Gluten Free dishes this is not mirrored on site. However even as a non-German speaker I could quickly understand the detailed allergen matrix sheets without the help of my server. My server was also able to offer advice and suggestion. ++ The salad dishes, both those on the menu and the 'make your own' option offer wonderful variety and generous portions for the price ++ Lovely fruit based smoothies ++ Restaurant interior is simple but comfortable and inviting, with a casual and fairly relaxed feel Things I would like to improve in order to award a 5th star - # On site, have gluten free dishes marked up on the main menu, or have a dedicated allergen or gluten free menu in both German and English # Add a gluten free wrap option to expand the range of gluten free food generally, and especially expand the range for take-out and eat on the go
