Where to eat Gluten Free
Eating gluten-free while travelling, and the cuisines that make it straightforward.
Travelling gluten-free is much easier in some food cultures than others, and choosing by cuisine is more reliable than hunting for a dedicated restaurant.
Mexican cooking built on corn tortillas, Vietnamese food built on rice noodles and rice paper, and most Indian South Indian cooking based on rice and lentil batters are all naturally gluten-free in their traditional forms — though soy sauce, thickened sauces and shared fryers remain the usual traps.
The practical advice is to learn the phrase in the local language, ask specifically about soy sauce and flour-thickened sauces rather than asking a general question, and favour kitchens that cook to order. These guides cover cities where that is straightforward.
