Gluten Free Prague, Prague, Czech Republic
In the city where聽beer is cheaper than water, what is a gluten free girl to do? Long story short, I ate well in Prague, but it wasn鈥檛 without effort. Gluten free Prague is possible and I鈥檓 going to tell you how to find it!
Unlike other cities I鈥檝e visited (such as聽Marrakech), you can鈥檛 just pop into any restaurant and rely on the menu鈥檚 naturally gluten free options.聽They don鈥檛 exist! The traditional Czech dishes revolve around beer, dumplings, and meat that鈥檚 either fried or swimming in an ale-infused, flour-thickened sauce.聽You鈥檒l be hard pressed finding a salad in Prague.
So if you鈥檙e gluten free and going to Prague,聽you鈥檒l need a plan聽and I鈥檓 here to help! Below I鈥檒l tell you the best gluten free Prague options for traditional Czech food, non-Czech food, caf茅s and bakeries, and miscellaneous advice/what NOT to do.
On second thought maybe I shouldn鈥檛 have put this first as you could go to Prague and ONLY聽eat here the whole time. This is the #1 gluten free Prague restaurant that anyone on a gluten free diet NEEDS to go to! It鈥檚 a traditional establishment that offers a normal menu as well as a gluten free menu, and pretty much everything on the normal menu is available gluten free! This includes dumplings, two types of beer, all of the meat sauces, schnitzel, apple strudel, pancakes, and more. We ate here twice and I would 100% recommend to anyone! It鈥檚 also non-smoking, and the bartender was really interesting to talk to, both positives in my book! (Just make sure you go to the Svejk U Karla one and not the other Svejk as it doesn鈥檛 have a GF menu!) ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
