Gluten-Free Eating In Las Palmas
Spain is not a difficult place to be gluten-free.
The Hotel
In the hotel, I only are breakfast, which usually consisted of fruit juice, eggs, ham, cheese and coffee.
There was no gluten-free bread, as you can get in most three or four stars hotels these days.
But that I can do without.
Snacks
I did take about ten EatNakd bars and M&S Honeycomb Crisps, but Ialso found some Spanish bars, that were labelled Gluten-Free in large letters.
They would have done at a pinch.
I also had a couple of good salads.
Balalaika
I ate in this restaurant on Monday night.
The restaurant had the best allergy-friendly menu, I’ve ever found. Not from a point of the food, but from the way the information was presented.
For gluten-free food, I just avoided any item with a large red dot, with a gluten sign in the middle.
Kitchen Lovers
I ate here on the Tuesday night.
I’d been pointed to the restaurant by Lonely Planet’s guide to the Canary Islands (p 74)
It’s all, they say it is.
I didn’t book, but then November wasn’t busy in Las Palmas.
It was one of the best restaurants, I’ve eaten at in Spain. You have to remember that C and myself tried quite a few.
I paid 33 euros for two courses and a glass of wine.
I could spend that in say Carluccios in Leeds!
Restaurante Molinet
I ate here on Wednesday night after seeing the gluten-free sign on the facia.
It is a restaurant to watch, as it had mixed reviews, so it could go either way.
But at least it serves gluten-free San Miguel lager.
I wish them lots of success.
Tailpiece
If you have to be gluten-free like me, you won’t starve in Las Palmas.
A Tour Of Gran Canaria
I don’t usually take tours, but I took this one around the island of Gran Canaria.
Note.
- It was a good tour, even if a bit cold.
- But then we were 2,000 metres up.
- We all visited a restaurant on the way down. I think, I was mildly glutened.
Next time, I go, I’ll go with someone who can drive and a quality road map, as there are lots of worhwhile places to visit.
