Well Being I - das Original is a vegan Vietnamese restaurant in Cologne. It provides numerous gluten-free options. According to its own website, every dish can be prepared gluten-free, and the menu uses allergen codes (A for gluten). Multiple user reviews on FindMeGlutenFree and HappyCow confirm a separate gluten-free menu. Staff are reportedly knowledgeable and use clean utensils along with a dedicated pot for gluten-free orders. There is no dedicated fryer, and the restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so a cross-contamination risk exists for coeliac diners. The kitchen is certified organic (DE-ÖKO-013), which applies only to ingredient sourcing. Contact the venue ahead of time to discuss specific needs.

Honest caveat: Multiple sources note no dedicated fryer and the establishment is NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility, though staff report separate utensils and pots.

Soy-free

B
confidence 70%

The restaurant offers many soy-free options. Dedicated menu sections are marked 'GLUTEN-SOJA-FREI' (gluten-soy-free). The website states all dishes can be made soy-free, and the menu uses an allergen code 'B=Soja'. A user review notes staff can advise on soy content. However, soy (tofu) is a common ingredient in many dishes, and there is no dedicated soy-free kitchen equipment. Diners with soy allergy should confirm their order with staff.

Nut-free

C
confidence 50%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The restaurant’s allergen code system includes ‘C’ for peanuts and ‘G’ for almonds. No nut-free policy or dedicated kitchen has been indicated. Because some dishes contain peanut or almond, cross-contamination remains possible. The menu labels these allergens, but no separate equipment or protocol for nut-free preparation exists.

Sugar-free

C
confidence 50%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The venue's website banner states 'Alle Gerichte können Gluten-/Soja-/Zucker-frei zubereitet werden!' (all dishes can be prepared gluten-/soy-/sugar-free). This indicates sugar-free preparation is available on request, but no details on separate equipment or dedicated sugar-free kitchen practice are provided. Call ahead to confirm.

Limited information ·what tier E means

The menu is plant-based Vietnamese with rice noodles, bowls, and raw food options, which tend to be higher in carbohydrates. No keto-specific menu or marking is available. Keto diners would need to customise orders and should contact the restaurant in advance to discuss suitability.
