La Tiendita Del Sabor

Aberdeen · Arepas · Empanadas · €⁠€

A fully dedicated gluten-free kitchen operates on the premises. Every item on the menu, from arepas and empanadas to cachapas and fries, is gluten free. Two coeliac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree both awarded the 'Dedicated GF' badge and reported zero reactions. The family-run kitchen uses corn-based masa (maize flour) as its base, so no wheat flour is present. No shared fryers or prep surfaces with gluten-containing ingredients exist.

La Tiendita Del Sabor

Aberdeen · Venezuelan · €⁠€

A family-run Venezuelan restaurant where every dish on the menu is made without gluten-containing ingredients. Two reviews from symptomatic coeliac diners awarded it a 'Dedicated GF' badge on FindMeGlutenFree, and a reviewer with coeliac disease confirmed the whole menu is gluten free. The kitchen uses corn-based arepas and cachapas as staples, alongside ingredients such as maize flour, which are naturally gluten free. No gluten is needed for any menu item. No third-party accreditation was found, though multiple coeliac community sources and diner reports strongly indicate a 100% gluten-free kitchen.

BioCafe

Aberdeen · Vegetarian · Brunch · €⁠€

The menu marks many dishes with a GF-a label, meaning a gluten-free option is available. The waffle batter is made with gluten-free flour. One FindMeGlutenFree reviewer reported a dedicated fryer. Another reviewer called the venue "one of my favourite dedicated gluten free places to eat." However, the kitchen is not a 100% dedicated gluten-free space. Some items contain gluten, such as the Lotus Biscoff waffle marked "Gluten." Cross-contamination is therefore possible. The venue is best for coeliacs who confirm protocols with staff.
