Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Köln

Sabrina Spindler

The best glutenfree patisserie - love the cheescake and the cinnamon rolls! A must glutenfree eat when in Cologne!

Tanja Leuam

Really Italian - and gluten-free too - really great, but unfortunately not for much longer 😩 Business is being closed

Markus Roeder

Gluten-free pizzas are also delicious. Our favorite Italian restaurant in Cologne

Robert Lehner

Very good self-service burgers. In summer, there are few options for cooling off other than the excellent, supposedly homemade ice tea. My colleagues with intolerances were happy about the gluten-free option.

Patrycja Matysik

Delicious and there are even gluten-free pastas ❤️

Aby Gon

Truly the BEST gluten free pizza and pasta! We were so so impressed even my gluten eating husband adores the non gluten versions! Truly the best find and worth going a little outside of the centre for

Kim Guttinger

Fantastic spot with gluten free and veggie/vegan options. I haven’t had a veggie burger since living in Europe because they usually contain wheat, so I was very excited to eat one here. I ended up eating here every day I was in Köln because it was a safe and delicious option.

Kathleen Valdez

Stumbled upon this place while going for a walk. Very cozy and cute place. Lots of room outside to sit. We did not know it had gluten free options which was a bonus for my boyfriend who Is Celiac. Im not celiac but we both really enjoyed the galette which was like a crepe but made with buckwheat. Tasted fresh and clean. Coffee was creamy and also very enjoyable. Cash or paypal only.

Stephan Kasper

Delicious coffee specialties and gluten-free pastries. Very friendly owner.

I really enjoyed it, they have gluten-free options.

Catrin Knoll

Very delicious vegan food! You can indulge in vegan indulgence here, and the dishes on offer are different from standard pizzas, etc. They offer a variety of toppings. Also suitable for people with gluten allergies! The staff was immediately aware of my companion's celiac disease and asked what she could eat and how the dishes were prepared, and they were able to provide helpful advice.

The pizza was truly delicious; the dough was nice and thin, the crust thick, and the ingredients super fresh. I had a gluten-free pizza—you could tell it was gluten-free, but it still tasted really good. The service was friendly, and the whole experience was simply enjoyable. We'll definitely be back!

Lynn Mary

gluten free options. I had no problem with cross contamination

Sabrina Syring

The gluten-free pizza was delicious

Nicolas Bussière

Great vegan and gluten-free (not all) food, many choices to choose from, everything is delicious!

Merry Merry

Great café for breakfast, lunch or even afternoon coffee. There is also a lavish vegan and vegetarian offering as well as gluten-free cakes. The service was quick and very friendly and the atmosphere also made you want to linger. We would definitely like to come back.

carol michetti

Too good and warm welcome. Plus this restaurant has a large gluten-free menu which is rare. We can enjoy it as a family with my sister who is gluten intolerant.

Lorenzo Macone

Good selection of vegan and gluten-free dishes that were delicious. Do I need to make many comments: - Service was extremely understaffed and overwhelmed: we sat down and couldn't order for 20 minutes. The waitress had told us we'd have to wait a bit, but I still thought 45 minutes was too long. I think they should hire more staff. - I thought the size of the drinks was quite small for the price. - They display cakes at the counter, but they're not "ready" to eat for an hour. I still didn't get it after an hour, but that was due to the service. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it unless you really have a lot of time...

Juliana Rathje

Awesome place for coffee, great service, nice outdoor and indoor seating, a whole lot of vegan, vegetarian and glutenfree food options.

Stefan Rüsche (Ruesche-Sounds)

Very tasty food in a very pleasant atmosphere. The servers are friendly, courteous, and very helpful. One of the few Asian restaurants where many dishes are also available gluten-free.

M. B.

Beautiful restaurant serving vegan, creative, Asian cuisine with exceptional dishes and some gluten-free options. Atmospheric design of the location with a cozy ambience and great design. Reasonable price-performance ratio. Seating a bit uncomfortable for a longer stay and quite loud when full. We really enjoyed it and enjoyed it.

Nadi

The only place in Germany that delivers truly spicy soup. Vegan and gluten-free options are also available! Just perfect.

Mc Significant

I was eating here together with my girlfriend and it was simply amazing. We both have a gluten allergy, but that was no problem here. There were a lot of gluten free options and the waiter was extremely friendly and he explained us how they prepared all the glutenfree food. The butter chicken, the chicken masala and the onion balls were super tasty. We can definitely recommend this place.

Claire P

Delicious! Chips and bratwurst are gluten free. Good value

Christina Sophie

Feel-good atmosphere, great coffee, great team, changing specials and lots of vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free options!

Olivia B.

An absolute dream! We have been here several times now and each time has inspired us to come back. Frittenwerk at Cologne main station is simply a safe haven <3 Not only is the food incredibly delicious (where should I start - the wonderfully aromatic handcut fries, the wonderfully spicy falafel in a nest of tomatoes and vegan aioli or the brilliant sweet potato fries with guacamole...?), but also super diverse, completely whether with meat, vegetarian or vegan! There really is something for everyone and the portions are a decent size that will fill you up. An absolutely wonderful price-performance ratio! But what really impressed me was the consideration given to intolerances. The employees are very knowledgeable and a map with allergens is always at hand, so that even with my intolerance to milk and gluten, I can always find what I'm looking for and get my fill here! Unfortunately, this is really something special these days and just one of many reasons why I always enjoy coming here. Danger! When it comes to gluten intolerance, the shop is definitely safe, but I am not informed about the situation for celiac disease - the conditions may not be met. It's best to ask the employees - a really cool, relaxed and warm team (especially the one man of honor - you know I mean you! :D) who will definitely help! You are the hottest. See you soon! <3

We spontaneously went for a walk in Cafe Rhein. The prices are reasonable and the employees are very nice. It's a cozy café that isn't too big. But you are close to the Rhine in Mülheim. We had a savory crepe and cake. There are different cake variants that also say whether they are vegan/gluten-free.

Lilian r

One of the best cafes in Cologne! Great service, fantastic selection of drinks and food (vegan, gluten-free, etc.)! Simply amazing! Great service and friendly staff :))

Be LaWe

Friendly service and they can prepare certain dishes gluten-free.

Milena Voß

The best scrambled eggs with tomato, cheese, ham and mushrooms - forever Great selection of cakes also gluten free Coffee specialties are awesome and are also offered in oat and soy drinks. Unfortunately no barrier-free toilet 🚽

Petra M

Very tasty tapas. Three or four (depending on which one you choose) are enough to fill you up. Perhaps they should at least expand the dessert menu to include ice cream, to provide a cooling alternative in the summer. And the ambiance could also be improved a bit. But the food was truly delicious, and gluten-free options are also available, which is certainly a plus for many. I would come again

Kitty B

Really friendly staff and delicious food! Eggs benedict was amazing, I swapped the muffin for gluten free bread - bread was very nice.

Maren Oehlers

One of my favorite restaurants in Cologne! The food is delicious and fresh, organic, vegan, and there are even some gluten-free options. You can try absolutely everything on the menu here. The dishes are beautifully presented, and the drinks are delicious, too. The service is super attentive and fun. I always feel at home here. The atmosphere is cozy, and it's a great place to celebrate a birthday.

Sara Treffert

Staff was very friendly and helpful for gluten free (most options are bc it’s some of the sauces that contain wheat). Quick for various poutines

Janine Kerscher

A hidden pearl in Cologne! The café is beautiful and cozy with a quiet location on Brussels Square. The furnishings and crockery are a real vintage dream, perfect for switching off. The cakes all look heavenly and there are vegan and gluten-free options too. We had the vegan rhubarb-marzipan crumble cake, which was served warmed up, and a vegan matcha-lime-coconut tart. I can highly recommend both! I just thought it was a shame that there was an additional charge for plant-based milk alternatives. But it's only a small drawback, as we otherwise felt completely comfortable.

Anne Malone

Gorgeous Sunday evening meal with friends, huge selection of dishes and catered well for my gluten allergy. The staff are all really lovely and have great service, will highly recommend!

Unfortunately we are very disappointed with our visit to St. Louis and it's really hard to find anything positive. - We have reserved a table in the “heated” outdoor area. But not everywhere is heated and we sat in the last corner, far away from a patio heater. After we mentioned that we (5) were freezing, they just said that unfortunately there was nothing they could do except bring us additional blankets. - When ordering, a chai latte was brought instead of a latte macchiato. When we pointed out that this was wrong and we didn't order it, it was still put down with the comment "it will be right". In the end it was actually a chai and when we brought it up at the end, it was blamed on our colleagues. But it was also wrong on the receipt. It would have been nice if they had remade the drink from the start instead of “guessing” that it was right. But we didn't want to cause any further inconvenience, so we said it at the end for your information. - The Cafe Creme was at most a filter coffee, without cream. - Unfortunately, the food is absolutely not worth the money. The avocado to bread ratio was zero. Gluten-free bread looked 2 weeks old and a hair in the food was included for free. We all left hungry. - When we commented again at the end about the cold outside, no one apologized, no, they asked “if we really thought it was that cold”. It was 2 degrees. - We weren't asked whether we wanted to have a drink in between, whether everything was OK, etc. (i.e. what we mean by service), which simply underlines the overall impression. It's completely understandable that weekends are busier and there are longer waits, but we would have liked to have experienced a little more customer focus. A “sorry” would certainly have made this rating look different. The many “little things” ultimately lead to the one star. Really a shame.

Ate very well. Very friendly. Gluten free. Allergen list available.

Lisa R.

Very tasty sushi and something for everyone. Also address food intolerances or wishes. Big plus: There is gluten-free soy sauce! Always very busy, so be sure to reserve, otherwise you'll end up waiting. My dessert highlight: sticky rice cake!

Carolin Breit

Grilled gluten-free options available, no/hardly any side dishes

Gregor

I'm at carnival and have to eat gluten-free, so I'm on November 11th. Went here for a steak. The waiter was extremely helpful and immediately understood my topic and gave me advice accordingly. The steak was super tasty and the side dishes were gluten free and also super tasty. Casual restaurant, totally recommended!!! The next day I was there with a group and we watched the Bundesliga and spent the afternoon.

Arthur

Great food, clean toilets, good allergen menu and nice service. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options ☺️

Annika Liebe

I ate a bowl, super tasty and filling!! Totally friendly atmosphere, I'll definitely be back. The fact that everything is vegan and there are gluten-free options makes it perfect all around :)

Claudia “ClaudiaimfloW” imfloW

I ate with a friend on the large, beautiful terrace. To my delight, there was gluten-free pasta (unfortunately no gluten-free pizza dough), so I took the chef's pasta. I also ordered some grilled vegetables with it, as I wouldn't have had enough otherwise. But the portion sizes are good. My friend had tortellini with walnuts, which she really enjoyed. Very friendly staff. 🤩 A bit hidden for me and unfortunately little to no parking! Good for the residents!

Christiane Godmann

Perfect ending after visiting the sports museum. From the service to the kitchen and the ambience, everything is top. Huge pizza, for gluten allergy sufferers with the Zoodels dishes. Our waitress Feyyaz was very accommodating and nice. We'll definitely be back.

Nico r

The food was delicious, the service was wonderful. One person in our group has to eat gluten-free, this was taken into account very carefully and we checked again to make sure everything was okay. Price-performance very good! We'd love to come back!
