Rafaella Gluten Free

Jirón Galeano 727 · Pizza · €⁠€

The restaurant operates as a 100% dedicated gluten-free facility. No gluten is present on the premises. Multiple independent coeliac diners have reported safe experiences. A single inconclusive negative review, noting the door was locked, does not contradict that consensus.

La Piadineria

Av. Santo Toribio 163 · Italian · €⁠€

FindMeGlutenFree reports the Piazza Velasca branch as 'dedicated gluten-free', with over 30 community reviews confirming a fully GF kitchen and zero reactions. The Celiac MD lists multiple Milan locations (Via Bergamini, Corso Buenos Aires, Filippo Turati and Piazza Velasca) as 100% gluten-free restaurants and categorises them as '100% Gluten Free Restaurants'.

Tragaluz

Mal. de la Reserva 1035 · · €⁠€⁠€

FindMeGlutenFree community reports a dedicated gluten-free kitchen with a positive review from a symptomatic coeliac; no official accreditation but structural claim of a 100% GF kitchen.

Barra Botánica

Ca. Libertad 439 · · €⁠€

It is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, but has strict protocols to avoid cross-contamination: dedicated pasta pot, dedicated fryer, staff trained and knowledgeable, and a clearly marked menu. Multiple coeliac diners report no symptoms across many visits. One negative review exists but the owner clarified the venue is GF-friendly, not dedicated.

Florencia - Vegan Kitchen

Jirón Cora 364 · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

A fully vegan restaurant offering a large selection of gluten-free dishes, which are marked on the menu. Multiple coeliac diners have reported positive experiences and no reactions. The kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free, and the risk of cross-contamination is acknowledged. No formal coeliac accreditation was found.

ALFRESCO

Av. 28 de Julio 331 · Italian · €⁠€

Alfresco in Coron labels all 14 major allergens on the menu and has gluten-free zones in the shared kitchen; they outsource gluten-containing items and use a dedicated fryer for fries. Staff are trained on allergens. However, the restaurant acknowledges on its Find Me Gluten Free profile that they cannot accommodate celiacs who cannot tolerate cross-contact, and the blog notes that no dedicated gluten-free kitchen exists in Coron. One symptomatic celiac reviewer had a positive experience, but the structural constraints keep it at C.

Em Vegan Sweets

Av. Paseo de la República 5076 · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

The venue has a dedicated menu category 'Postres Sin Gluten y Vegano' with 17 items, and a separate category 'Moldes Completos Sin Gluten y Sin Azúcar'. A HappyCow review mentions 'lots of gluten free options'. However, the kitchen is not 100% gluten-free (it also produces wheat-based items like alfajores de harina de trigo). There is no mention of a dedicated fryer or prep area, and no accreditation from a coeliac body. The marked menu and dedicated gluten-free category suggest a structured approach, but cross-contamination risk exists.

Raw Café

C. Independencia 596 · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

Raw Café offers a gluten-free menu with marked items such as cakes, acai bowls, pizza, pancakes, and salad, and is described as having 'plenty of gluten-free options'. The venue's own website mentions 'postre gluten free' and 'gluten free' options. However, there is no evidence of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, dedicated fryer, or Coeliac Australia accreditation. Listings show a 'GF Menu' badge (not 'dedicated gluten-free'), and one reviewer notes that 'Gluten free items are marked and the bowls would likely be the safest bet', implying shared preparation areas. Reviews mention 'gluten free' but do not detail kitchen practices. The Coeliac Australia accreditation page does not list Raw Café among its accredited businesses.

La Bodega Verde

Barranco · Cafe · Brunch · €⁠€

The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. It shares a kitchen and acknowledges a cross-contamination risk. Staff are trained and knowledgeable about coeliac needs. No gluten-free menu exists, but gluten-free options are available, including sandwiches, pancakes, bread, brownies, and poke. Community celiac reviewers report no adverse reactions. One location marks GF options on the menu; another does not.

Casa Lola

Jirón Domeyer 219 · · €⁠€

Multiple listings report a gluten-free menu with clearly labeled options (GF cakes, sandwiches with gluten-free bread). No dedicated kitchen or fryer is noted; cross-contamination risk is acknowledged via shared preparation. Staff awareness appears good but structural safeguards are absent. Rated D (marked menu, shared kitchen).

LIMANÁ - PERUVIAN SUPERFOOD RESTAURANT

Av. Augusto Pérez Araníbar 2011 · · €⁠€⁠€

At a Peruvian superfood restaurant in San Isidro, an estimated 90% of the menu is gluten-free. Staff are described as "very aware of cross contamination and celiac disease" (FindMeGlutenFree) and "trained" (Atly). Gluten-free options are not marked on the menu per Atly, and there is no evidence of a dedicated fryer or prep area. Shared kitchen conditions apply. The venue combines a good understanding of coeliac needs with the structural limits of a non-dedicated kitchen.

Loving Hut - Golden Food

Av. Petit Thouars 2545 · Vegan · Vegetarian · €

Tier D: A 100% dedicated gluten-free / coeliac kitchen was claimed but could not be verified. The most likely interpretation is that the venue offers gluten-free / coeliac-friendly options from a shared kitchen, not a dedicated facility. On record: staff trained; allergen-marked menu. Ask staff about prep separation before relying on the kitchen for gluten-free / coeliac safety.

Social Restaurant & Bar

Av. la Paz 1099 · Brunch · Cafe · €⁠€

Menu marks gluten-containing dishes with symbols; staff are knowledgeable and have provided GF bread and adapted dishes on request. However, the kitchen is shared and not dedicated gluten-free, and listings warn it may not be safe for coeliac disease due to cross-contamination risk.

ZANO Cafetería Saludable - Miraflores

Av. Angamos Oeste 453 · · €⁠€

ZANO Cafetería Saludable - Miraflores offers a gluten-free menu with marked items, but it is explicitly not a dedicated gluten-free facility. One coeliac reviewer reported no symptoms, though cross-contamination risk is acknowledged. No dedicated fryer or kitchen is noted.

Arepa Café

Av. Almte. Miguel Grau 624 · Venezuelan · Cafe · €⁠€

The venue advertises a 100% gluten-free menu. Multiple community reviews on FindMeGlutenFree, however, report that tequeños (wheat-based) are served, empanadas are fried in shared oil, and some beef arepas contain soy sauce with gluten. The fryer is not dedicated. The Atly blog claims a dedicated GF kitchen, but several first-hand accounts contradict this. There is no accreditation from Coeliac Australia or other recognised body. Cross-contamination risk is significant. Celiac diners should exercise caution and ask detailed questions.

Libre Gluten Free

Recaudadores · Pizza · €⁠€

The venue's name and Rappi listing suggest a gluten-free focus, but the only detailed coeliac-specific source (a travel blog) reports that the formerly dedicated gluten-free bakeries in Lima have permanently closed, and the author was glutened twice in the city. The blog does not review Libre Gluten Free itself. The Rappi page lists the venue as a pizza place but provides no menu items or allergen markings. No accreditation, dedicated kitchen, or marked menu is confirmed. Cross-contamination risk is high based on the general Lima dining environment described.

Manzana Verde Encalada

Av La Encalada 971 · Healthy · €⁠€

Manzana Verde Encalada offers a few explicitly labelled gluten-free desserts (Queque de Plátano Gluten Free, Queque de Zanahoria Gluten Free, Brownies Glutenfree) on its DiDi Food menu, and the venue's own website promotes 'comida saludable' without any allergen marking on main dishes. The main menu items (pastas, sandwiches, wraps) all contain wheat-based ingredients (tallarines, pan ciabatta, tortilla de trigo). There is no evidence of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, dedicated fryer, staff training, or any accreditation. The venue is listed on lugaresingluten.com as a 'dietetica' category, but no further gluten-free detail is provided. Cross-contamination risk is high for coeliac diners.

Mattoni

Av. Sta. Cruz 1300 · Italian · €⁠€

Mattoni offers gluten-free pasta and a gluten-free menu, but the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. One reviewer reports knowledgeable staff and dedicated kitchen space, while another notes that GF items are marked on the menu. The venue is explicitly warned as not a dedicated gluten-free facility and may not be safe for coeliac disease. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged.

Quinoa Café

Av. Felipe Pardo y Aliaga 664 · Cafe · Vegan · €⁠€

Quinoa Café provides a gluten-free menu with items marked as gluten free. Desserts, salads, cookies, and cakes are among those labelled. The restaurant appears on FindMeGlutenFree and Atly as a venue with gluten-free options. Its own menu lists several dishes as 'Gluten Free', including a corn and cheese pie, a Chingona salad, a Proteico bowl, a Pavo Mostazero bowl, and various desserts. The kitchen is shared with conventional menu items. No dedicated fryer, dedicated kitchen, or accreditation is mentioned. The venue acknowledges a cross-contamination risk, as it serves both gluten-free and gluten-containing dishes.

Supan Tachirense

Jiron Unión 108 · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

Reported to have a gluten-free menu with items like cakes, pies, and tiramisu. One reviewer mentions a dedicated gluten-free fryer and staff will clean kitchen space or change gloves.
