Gluten-free Brussels: Noordzee – Mer du Nord

Address: Rue Sainte-Catherine 45, 1000 Bruxelles
Phone: +32 2 513 11 92

Very particular place of street food. They have various types of seafood, grilled fish, and soups. They tell you which dishes are gluten-free at the time of the order, but don’t have gluten-free bread, so if you’re used to eating it, take something with you to “accompany” the dishes. I had with me a focaccia that I had made the day before and it was perfect 🙂

In the square then there are various tables where you can put the dishes while eating standing.

We took a soup of fish, seafood, scampi and grilled tuna.




All excellent and fresh for a total of € 36.00.

Gluten-free Brussels: Italia in tavola

Address: Chaussée de Waterloo 790, 1180 Uccle, Bruxelles

Cozy Italian restaurant on the outskirts of town.


The cook is celiac and there is the possibility of having virtually the entire menu gluten-free, with options even lactose-free and egg-free. They make pizza, pasta, bread and cakes, all homemade by the excellent cook, as well as the owner of the restaurant. The desserts and ice cream are all gluten-free.

We ate really well: bread, homemade pasta, and desserts, all delicious, for a total of € 45.00. The gluten-free dishes have a supplement on the price of 1 or 2 euros.




They also have a space where you can find for sale a good choice of gluten-free packaged products.

This chain of restaurants, also present in Germany, Austria, and France, offers various gluten-free proposals, both sweet and savory, but we have to pay attention to the cross-contamination.

All products have an indication of the various allergens, but unfortunately, some products are exposed along with those with gluten. In some stores, I found both sweet and savory gluten-free products stored in glass bells, separated from the rest, or closed in containers, so I could take something, while in others I couldn’t.


Therefore these places are suitable for those who have gluten sensitivity and don’t have to be careful about contamination, while for the celiac it’s good to look at the storage and ask the staff what products are safe.


As gluten-free options there are soups, salads, vegetable burrito, various types of cakes, yogurt, fruit juices and packaged corn galette.


The two desserts we tasted were good, at a cost of € 3.60 the slice of cocoa and dried fruit cake and € 1.70 the chocolate muffin.

Gluten-free Brussels: Mary Artisan Chocolatier

They have various venues in Brussels and other cities in Belgium as well as in the United States:

Finally, we tasted the delicious handmade chocolate of Mary, the official chocolate of the Belgian royal house.

Almost all chocolates are gluten-free, just ask the sales staff to tell you the few chocolates containing gluten.

They also have nice gift boxes that you can pick up already made or have them fill up on the moment with the chocolates you prefer.

We took 4 boxes of chocolates, 3 to bring as a gift and one for us, for a total of € 75.00



Gluten-free Brussels: supermarkets with gluten-free products
Gluten-free packaged products can be found in supermarkets without any problems.
We have been to Carrefour and Delhaize and in both, we have found large gluten-free sections (especially in the Carrefour).
