About GlutenFreeBCN
GlutenFreeBCN is the most comprehensive guide to gluten-free dining and shopping in Barcelona. We created this platform because finding safe, delicious gluten-free food shouldn't be stressful — especially when you're exploring one of the world's best food cities.
Our Mission
We map, verify, and organize every gluten-free place in Barcelona so that celiacs and gluten-sensitive people can eat with confidence. Our data comes from official sources like Celíacs de Catalunya certifications, community reviews, and direct partnerships with restaurants.
How It Works
- Interactive Map — See all gluten-free places at a glance. Color-coded markers show whether a place is 100% GF, certified, or offers GF options.
- Smart Filters — Filter by type (restaurant, bakery, café), gluten-free level, and neighborhood.
- Community Voting — Like your favorite places to help others find the best spots.
- Always Free — Our directory is free to use for everyone. Restaurants can request a free listing.
For Restaurant Owners
If you own or manage a gluten-free establishment in Barcelona, we offer both free and sponsored listings. Sponsored listings appear at the top of search results with highlighted visibility. Contact us to get listed.
Data Sources
Our initial database includes 115+ establishments certified by Celíacs de Catalunya, curated recommendations from food bloggers, and community submissions. We continuously update and verify our listings.
About the Editorial Team
GlutenFreeBCN is researched and maintained by the GlutenFreeBCN Editorial Team — a small group of celiac travelers and Barcelona residents who have spent years mapping out where it is genuinely safe to eat in this city. Our workflow is the same for every place we publish:
- We start from the official Celíacs de Catalunya restaurant register, which audits ingredients, prep separation, staff training, and supplier records.
- We cross-check against first-hand visits, community reports submitted through our contact form, and reviews from established celiac-travel writers.
- We label each venue with one of four gluten-free safety levels (100% GF, certified, dedicated menu, or options available) so readers can choose the right risk tolerance for their situation.
- We re-check listings periodically and remove or downgrade any place where we receive consistent reports of declining safety standards.
We do not accept payment in exchange for safety ratings or editorial reviews. Sponsored placements (clearly labeled) buy visibility on the map only — never a higher gluten-free safety level. If you spot something inaccurate or out of date, please tell us — your reports are how this directory stays useful.
