Where can I eat safely ?

What Polish dishes are actually gluten-free?

Where can I find gluten-free bread, snacks and groceries?

Eating gluten-free in Kraków isn’t always straightforward

Kraków has many good options for gluten-free travellers, but not every “gluten-free option” means the same thing.

  • Some places are certified gluten-free

  • Some are fully gluten-free but not officially certified.

  • Others offer gluten-free dishes in a shared kitchen (cross-contamination risk)

This guide helps you understand the difference — before you choose where to eat.
