Thomas Lamant -

In General

Some widely available types of restaurants naturally offers gluten-, lactose-, egg- and/or nut-free options:

  • East-Asian food
    • Sushis: Sticks'n'Sushi, etc. A favorite is Wami Sushi on Islands Brygge
    • Pokebowls (from poke = to slice in Hawaiian) are diced raw fish dishes typically served on rice. They are quite popular in Copenhagen, for instance at Olioli (9 places in the city + airport)
    • South-East Asian food: Thai food or Vietnamese food for instance offer many dishes with rice noodles, and plenty of vegetables. Be careful as some dishes such as pad thai contain peanuts.
  • Indian food offers quite some vegetarian options, or really nice curry/rice dishes. Example: The South Indian
  • Near or Middle Eastern restaurants like Mahalle (6 places in Copenhagen) typically offer a variety of small dishes to share (mezze)
  • Some burger and pizza places have veggie patties in their menu, as well as the possibility to choose a gluten-free bun for a few extra kroner. One of them is Jagger which has 12 locations in Copenhagen.
