Gluten-free city guide · the places worth planning around
Gluten-Free Berlin
This guide to gluten-free Berlin lists 12 places: 8 marked “★ Dedicated” and 4 marked “GF-serving”. Every card gives the street address, what to order and how we know it: 12 checked on their own website; the guide was last updated in October 2026. Say you have coeliac disease every time you order, at a ★ place too.
Berlin has a big gluten-free scene, but its best options are spread across very different neighbourhoods, so it pays to know the anchors before you pick where to stay.
This is a short list on purpose: 12 places whose own website we read on 9 October 2026, each quoted in its own words, in German with the meaning in English. Eight say they are entirely gluten-free; four are mixed kitchens with a gluten-free offer. The cards are grouped by district. Everything else we track in Berlin is on the live map, one link down.

How to read this guide
We publish evidence, not vibes. Every card carries the venue’s own words about how it handles gluten, a street address, and how we know it, with the date. The ★ is set by How to Gluten Free from the venue’s own published words, and a community report never earns it. Our four promises are public at howtoglutenfree.com/what-we-promise.
★ DedicatedA bakery, café or kitchen that says it is entirely gluten-free, in its own published words.
GF-servingA mixed kitchen that also works with wheat and offers gluten-free dishes, in its own published words.
Visited / Own website / ListedEach place says how we know it. “Visited by us”: someone from HTGF was there in the month shown (a visit, not a lab test). “Checked on its own website”: we read the venue’s own gluten-free wording in the month shown. “Listed by” and the name of a coeliac association (AIC, Coeliac UK and others): that association lists the place. “Listed by a directory”: a gluten-free directory lists it and we have not read it at the source yet.
01 · MITTE
Mitte
The centre: a trattoria where the whole menu is gluten-free, a café where everything is gluten-free, and a schnitzel house with a corn-crumb option.
01
Trattoria Senza
★ DedicatedItalian
An Italian trattoria where the whole menu is gluten-free and lactose-free: antipasti, pasta, mains and desserts.
The gluten-free angle
Its own site calls it «Berlins gluten & laktosefreies italienisches Restaurant in Mitte» (Berlin’s gluten-free and lactose-free Italian restaurant in Mitte): «ohne Gluten, ohne Laktose, aber garantiert ohne Abstriche beim Geschmack» (no gluten, no lactose, and no compromise on taste). It names people with coeliac disease among the guests it cooks for: «für Menschen mit Zöliakie oder Laktoseintoleranz».
Order
«Lasagna Classica» or «Spaghetti Carbonara», then «Tiramisù Classico».
Watch out
Closed on Mondays, and card payment only («Nur kartenzahlung»). Its site shows two different sets of opening hours in two places, and the kitchen closes at 9 pm, so check before you go.

02
PURE NOGLUTEN
★ DedicatedCafé
A café where everything is gluten-free, for breakfast bagels, sandwiches, savoury bakes and cookies.
The gluten-free angle
Its own site: «PURE NOGLUTEN ist ein modernes, vollständig glutenfreies Café im Herzen von Berlin» (a modern, entirely gluten-free café in the heart of Berlin).
Order
The «Grilled Cheese» («Knusprig gegrilltes Sauerteigbrot mit geschmolzenem Käse», grilled sourdough with melted cheese) or the «Pure Green» bagel.
Watch out
Its notes page says it buys in some products and relies on the makers’ labels for those, while it works to avoid cross-contact in its own kitchen. Ask which items are made in house. Its site gives weekdays 8 am to 5 pm and weekends 10 am to 5 pm.

03
Schnitzelei Mitte
GF-servingSchnitzel
A schnitzel restaurant where many dishes can be ordered in a gluten-free corn crumb instead of breadcrumbs.
The gluten-free angle
Its own menu: «Viele unserer Gerichte können auch mit einer glutenfreien Maispanade bestellt werden» (many of our dishes can also be ordered with a gluten-free corn crumb). In the same breath it says traces of gluten cannot be ruled out: «Leider können Spuren von Gluten jedoch nicht ausgeschlossen werden».
Order
The «Austernpilzschnitzel (vegan)», «gebacken in glutenfreier Maispanade» (an oyster-mushroom schnitzel in a gluten-free corn crumb), or a dish marked «Glutenfreie Variante möglich».
Watch out
A mixed kitchen with breaded food. Its menu says nothing about the fryer, so ask whether the gluten-free schnitzel is fried in separate oil. The restaurant is in a rear courtyard, reached from Chausseestraße 8 or Novalisstraße 11; its site gives Monday to Saturday from 4 pm and Sunday from noon, kitchen until 10 pm.

The gluten-free angle
Its own site: «Mit unserem Geschäft eröffnete 2014 eine rein glutenfreie Bäckerei, in der wir alles frisch herstellen» (in 2014 we opened a purely gluten-free bakery where we make everything fresh), summed up in Berlin dialect as «Alles glutenfrei, alles bio, allet jut!» (all gluten-free, all organic, all good).

Order
Any pizza on a Wednesday or Thursday, a «Margherita» or a «Bufalina», and the tiramisu.

The gluten-free angle

The «Gluten freie Pizza» (gluten-free pizza); its menu is split into «Reguler,Vegan, GF».
Watch out
Its regular dough is made «ausschließlich aus Weizenmehl» (only from wheat flour), and its pizzas come from a stone oven. Ask how the gluten-free base is kept apart. Its site gives weekdays and Saturday 4 to 11 pm and Sunday 2 to 11 pm.

Watch out

06 · STREET FOOD
Berlin street food, honestly
Berlin’s street-food icons need the usual questions. Döner bread is wheat, so döner becomes an option only where a kitchen offers it as a plate or with its own gluten-free bread. Ask, don’t assume. Currywurst is really two questions: what binds the sauce, and whether the fries share a fryer with breaded things. The fryer question is the single highest-value question in German fast food. Carry it everywhere.
On labels and menus, two rules apply nationwide. One: “glutenfrei” is an EU-regulated claim (max. 20 ppm). A menu or label carrying it is making you a promise, not a guess. Two: voluntary “may contain traces” warnings are not regulated, so they don’t tell you how much risk there is. Treat one as a caution sign; the ingredient list and a gluten-free certification are what to go by. (Also in our Munich guide.)
Sources: the venues’ own published statements, read 9 October 2026; EU Regulation 828/2014 for labelling claims. Protocols change. Always confirm with staff on the day.

Where to base yourself
Mitte: Trattoria Senza on Hannoversche Straße, PURE NOGLUTEN on Holzmarktstraße and Schnitzelei Mitte on Chausseestraße (chapter 1).
Prenzlauer Berg: Jute Bäckerei on Schönhauser Allee, by the Eberswalder Straße U-Bahn in its own words, and Cheers Kiez Pizza on Choriner Straße (chapter 2).
Friedrichshain: Soul Kitchen House Berlin, Oshione and Zeus Pizza & Pide, all in the same district (chapter 3).
The west: AERA Bread and Mamma Monti in Charlottenburg and Sinless in Wilmersdorf (chapter 4); Velicious Cafe is further south in Friedenau (chapter 5).
Kreuzberg and Neukölln: no card in this edition. The live map below shows what we track there.
We haven’t checked a Berlin hotel kitchen ourselves. When you book, ask about gluten-free breakfast, and pick a room with a fridge: the bakeries on the ★ cards make a good stock-up for bread and cakes.
The one sentence to say
Say it before ordering, every time, dedicated kitchen or not. Show the German: coeliac disease is «Zöliakie», and gluten-free is «glutenfrei».
Ich habe Zöliakie. Ich kann kein Gluten essen: keinen Weizen, keine Gerste, keinen Roggen, kein Malz und keinen normalen Hafer, und nichts, was in gemeinsam genutztem Frittieröl oder auf einer Fläche mit Mehl oder Krümeln zubereitet wurde.
I have coeliac disease. I can’t eat gluten: no wheat, barley, rye, malt or ordinary oats, and nothing cooked in shared fryer oil or on a surface with flour or crumbs.
Two follow-ups that help in Berlin. For anything fried: «Gibt es eine eigene Fritteuse nur für Glutenfreies?» (“Is there a fryer just for gluten-free food?”). For sauces, currywurst sauce included: «Ist in der Soße Mehl, Malz, Bier oder Sojasoße?» (“Is there flour, malt, beer or soy sauce in the sauce?”)
Good to know
“Gluten-free” on a label means no more than 20 mg/kg (20 ppm), the EU rule (Regulation (EU) No 828/2014); in German it reads «glutenfrei».
“Very low gluten” is not gluten-free. It allows up to 100 mg/kg, and applies to specially processed wheat, rye, barley or oat ingredients. On German labels it reads «sehr geringer Glutengehalt».
Oats in a gluten-free food must be specially produced to keep them under 20 mg/kg. Ordinary oats are not; if oats don’t suit you, ask about porridge, granola and baking.
Pommes are the classic trap. Many snack stands and kitchens fry them in the same oil as schnitzel and other breaded food. Ask «Gibt es eine eigene Fritteuse nur für Glutenfreies?» every time.
An ordinary Bäckerei works with wheat and rye flour on every surface. Buy bread, rolls and cakes from a bakery that is entirely gluten-free, like the ones on the ★ cards.

08 · Questions
Eating gluten-free in Berlin: common questions
Where can I eat gluten-free in Berlin?
The cards are grouped in 5 chapters, from “Mitte” to “Friedenau”. Each card gives the address, what to order and how we know it. Before you go, check the opening hours, and say you have coeliac disease when you order.
Are there fully gluten-free places in Berlin?
In this Berlin guide, 8 places are marked “★ Dedicated”: Trattoria Senza, PURE NOGLUTEN, Jute Bäckerei, Soul Kitchen House Berlin, Oshione Glutenfree, AERA Bread, Sinless and Velicious Cafe. Each ★ card says how we know it and when; still say you have coeliac disease when you order.
Is döner gluten-free in Berlin?
Not as it usually comes: döner bread is wheat, so döner is an option only where a kitchen serves it as a plate or with its own gluten-free bread. Currywurst is two questions: what binds the sauce, and whether the fries share a fryer with breaded food. In this Berlin guide, 5 cards name gluten-free bread under “Order”: PURE NOGLUTEN (“★ Dedicated”), Jute Bäckerei (“★ Dedicated”), Oshione Glutenfree (“★ Dedicated”), AERA Bread (“★ Dedicated”) and Velicious Cafe (“★ Dedicated”). For döner and currywurst anywhere in Berlin, ask whether there is gluten-free bread, what binds the sauce and whether the fries share a fryer with breaded food.
How do I ask for gluten-free food in German?
In Berlin, say this sentence in German before you order: “Ich habe Zöliakie. Ich kann kein Gluten essen: keinen Weizen, keine Gerste, keinen Roggen, kein Malz und keinen normalen Hafer, und nichts, was in gemeinsam genutztem Frittieröl oder auf einer Fläche mit Mehl oder Krümeln zubereitet wurde.” In English: “I have coeliac disease. I can’t eat gluten: no wheat, barley, rye, malt or ordinary oats, and nothing cooked in shared fryer oil or on a surface with flour or crumbs.” Say it every time, at a place marked “★ Dedicated” too, and then ask how your food is kept apart.
Closures and lost dedicated status are logged as dated facts on the live page, never as judgements. A closed door, a changed menu, a new dedicated place: hello@howtoglutenfree.com or the report button in the app. Readers keep this page alive.
