English
I am suffering from coeliac disease and therefore because of medical reasons I am not allowed to eat any foods which contain gluten-containing cereals or products of these.
This means:
No products from wheat, rye, barley, spelt, kamut and oats as well as products of these like flour, semolina, breadcrumbs, bread, pastry, noodles, dumplings, sauces, cakes, wafers etc.
Are there any dishes on your menu which are suitable for me or can you prepare a meal without above mentioned foods e.g. to use maize starch or potato flour for the sauce and to prepare the meat, the fish or vegetables without flour or breadcrumbs?
It is also important to use clean kitchen equipment and prepare food in a clean area in the kitchen.
In doubt, please consult the person concerned. Thank you!
Where to find gluten-free food in Luxembourg
Big supermarkets like Cactus, Auchan, Cora, Delhaize, Massen and Pall Center have a reasonable choice of glutenfree products. Most of the time you find them in the department “dietary food”.
Fresh glutenfree bread can be purchased on command at Fischer (refrigerated) or Jos & Jean-Marie bakeries. Later does not have the certified logo, so make sure it comes packaged and unsliced.
Health stores like Naturata and A la Vita have also a lot of glutenfree foods but they are rarely sorted in one department.
Luxembourg Glutenfree online store has a large choice, including glutenfree beer and might be a good option if you stay longer in Luxembourg or if you plan beforehand.
Gluten-free restaurants in Luxembourg
The luxembourg celiac association has a list with restaurants on their website. This is a list where in the past 5 years a team visited staff and the kitchen amenities to inform and to deliberate about the choice of glutenfree dishes and preparing them accurately.
Frequently changes in staff members or menu cards, closing or new openings make it hard to keep up-dated. Then in Luxembourg many different languages are spoken and this makes it even more difficult to exchange with the staff. We recommend to contact us on Facebook or by our contact form so you always have the most recent information.
Definite a good place where they serve only glutenfree dishes is Pavillon Eden Rose in Kayl, book your place in advance and be aware that this restaurant is in price category €€.
