Gluten Free Prague: The Complete Travel Guide (2024)

In the city where beer is cheaper than water, what is a celiac to do? Long story short, I ate well in Prague, but it wasn’t without effort. Gluten free Prague is possible and I’m going to tell you how to find it!

Unlike other places I’ve visited (such as Nepal or Morocco), you can’t just pop into any restaurant and rely on the menu’s naturally gluten free options. They don’t exist! 

Traditional Czech dishes revolve around beer, dumplings, and meat that’s either fried or swimming in an ale-infused, flour-thickened sauce. To be completely honest, you’ll be hard pressed even finding a salad in Prague.

So if you’re gluten free and going to Prague, you’ll need a plan and I’m here to help! In this article I’ll tell you the best gluten free Prague options, including a Czech translation card, dedicated and non-dedicated gluten free restaurants, hotels with gluten free breakfasts, and more!

This gluten free Prague guide is updated for 2024.

The streets of Prague… full of gluten free options if you know where to look!

Gluten Free Prague Translation Card

If you’re staying within downtown Prague you’ll find that most people speak passable English – emphasis on passable.

Based on my experience, you definitely want to use a gluten free translation card in Prague. You shouldn’t expect staff at most restaurants to have an in depth understanding of gluten, much less not in their native language!

Equal Eats Czech Gluten Free Translation Card

In 2024, my recommended gluten free translation card for Prague is the Equal Eats Czech celiac card.

I recently started using these cards and have had a very good experience with them. I particularly recommend them because unlike 99% of translation cards on the market, they actually have a section to discuss cross contact – SO important.

I highly recommend the investment as it will not only help your peace of mind, but keep you safe so you don’t get glutened and ruin your vacation!

Dedicated Gluten Free Prague Restaurants, Bakeries, and More

Of course, the safest place to eat is always a 100% gluten free establishment. There are a number of dedicated gluten free establishments in Prague. Whilst some of my favorites have sadly closed over the years, there appear to be many new ones that have replaced them (2024 update)!

Alriso Risotteria Italiana

Alriso is the longest standing 100% gluten free Prague restaurant. It serves Italian food, not traditional Czech food, but it’s very good at what it does!

Alriso is located near Charles Bridge, so the prices are a bit higher than you’d find elsewhere, and it was our most expensive meal by far (still only £16 for a beer, a main, and a dessert!).

I really enjoyed the risotto and the Celia* beer, and loved that they stamped the dessert menu on the tablecloth (also that they had a dessert menu, period!). Although it’s not exactly an “authentic” Czech experience, I’d recommend Alriso because 1) it’s good food with lots of options that are guaranteed to be safe, and 2) it’s great if you get sick of the meat and beer diet that the Czechs love!

Note: Below I’m pictured drinking Celia beer, which is a gluten removed beer. There are differing opinions between the USA and Europe on whether gluten removed beer is safe for celiacs. This beer tests as <5ppm and is reported by some to be safe for celiacs, but this is up to your own discretion – personally I no longer drink gluten removed beer. I will touch on this more in the gluten free Prague beers section.

GROM

GROM is a 100% gluten free gelato shop with multiple stores across Europe. I ate at their London shop during my last visit to the UK and can attest to how flavorful and unique the gelato is!

GROM is definitely worth visiting to fulfill the afternoon crash or post dinner treat.

Address: GROM, Václavské nám. 1306/55, 110 00 Nové Město, Czechia

Babiccina Spiz

Babiccina Spiz is a 100% gluten free Prague bakery! In addition, it is also completely lactose free. You can find a huge variety of pastries and baked goods, including even gluten free baguettes.

Like most dedicated gluten free bakeries seem to be, it’s a bit of a trek to get here and even then hard to find – but well worth the journey for some of Prague’s best (and only) gluten free baked goods!

Address: Babiccina Spiz, Hradební 1044/14, 110 00 Staré Město, Czechia

If you know me, I LOVE gluten free doughnuts. Can’t wait to try these! Photo credit: Babiccina Spiz Facebook Page.


Buchta Cukrarstvi

Buchta Cukrarstvi is a 100% gluten free bakery. My friend Rachel from The Sightseeing Coeliac found this incredible bakery and I’m so happy that I may finally be able to try the traditional Chimney Cake on my next visit!

I made Dan try the gluten version on our last trip and it just looked so good that it was a kind of punishment to watch!!

Address: Buchta Cukrarstvi, Národní obrany 824/35, 160 00 Praha 6-Bubeneč, Czechia

Bassotto

Bassotto is a 100% gluten free bakery also offering vegan and lactose-free products. They also have traditional gluten free pizza and a wine bar.

Address: Bassotto, Pštrossova 1926/4, 110 00 Nové Město, Czechia

Tree Sisters

Tree Sisters is a dedicated gluten free and vegan bakery that offers raw cakes and other desserts. This is another new one since my last visit to Prague, so I haven’t eaten here myself yet. I’ll be sure to visit here to satisfy my sweet cravings on my next visit.

Looks delicious to me, vegan and gluten free sweet treat. Photo credit: Tree Sisters Facebook page.

Gluten Free Prague Traditional Czech Food

If you’re like me, you always want to try the local delicacies when you travel. This can be impossible if you have to eat gluten free – especially in places like Prague where the local flavors are pretty much gluten, gluten, and more gluten.

However, we did hit the jackpot with two places where you can find celiac-safe gluten free Czech food! These are sadly now both closed, however for one of them the owners did open a new restaurant. A few new places serving traditional food have also popped up, so I’m mentioning those below, as well!

U Agamy Restaurace – 100% Gluten Free

U Agamy Restaurace is a relatively new restaurant that serves traditional Czech cuisine… without the gluten. I can’t express how happy I am to hear about this restaurant now Prague’s original gluten free Czech restaurant (called Svejk U Karla) has permanently closed.

This is 100% going to be my first stop when I visit Prague again, and maybe my second, third, and fourth as well! They appear to offer much more than just the traditional food so should be great for larger groups with different preferences!

Address: U Agamy Resaurace, 35, Štítného 202, 130 00 Praha 3, Czechia

I mean, look at all that Gluten Free dumplings! Photo credit: U Agamy Restaurace Facebook page.

Good Food, Coffee and Bakery – Gluten Free Chimney Cake in Prague!

Good Food, Coffee and Bakery took the original chimney cake and added a few modern twists (not me just me tearing up with happiness about finding gluten free chimney cake!).

I’ve seen multiple reviews saying Good Food, Coffee and Bakery has celiac safe options however I haven’t eaten here myself as they are new since my last visit to Prague. Please be sure to check the preparation and ask the staff to be careful regarding cross contact.

Address: Good Food, Coffee and Bakery, Karlova 160/8, 110 00 Staré Město, Czechia

U Magistra Kelly – TEMPORARILY CLOSED

U Magistra Kelly had low prices, and a secluded, authentic atmosphere. On the other side of the bridge (Mala Strana), U Magisra Kelly was away from the hustle and bustle.

We went to it with no expectations (we wanted to check it out as Dan’s friends liked it and Kelly is his nickname)… so I was SO surprised to see gluten free items marked on the menu!

The gluten free options at U Magistra Kelly included two starters and two mains, as well as gluten free rice bread. The second time we ate here, their special was also gluten free. I found the wait staff really knowledgeable, which is always a plus in my book.

They don’t have gluten free beer, but they do carry cider for a low price, which is unusual in Prague! It’s a great place to go, especially if you are traveling with non-celiac companions who want to try out really authentic Czech food.

Although temporarily closed you should definitely check their website before you visit in case this changes. The owners have also set-up a new restaurant called St. Martin which you can read about below.

St. Martin

St. Martin is run by the same owners as U Magistra Kelly. Here’s me hoping its a similar vibe and knowledge to U Magistra Kelly because that was the perfect blend of feeling safe and the authentic experience.

Address: St. Martin, Vlašská 7, 118 00 Malá Strana, Czechia

I tried this duck house special on my second visit… it was so simple but unbelievably good!

Svejk U Karla – CLOSED

Svejk U Karla was the #1 gluten free Prague restaurant that anyone on a gluten free diet need(ed) to go to! This is where I had my first ever gluten free dumplings, schnitzel, and apple strudel. It was a special place and I felt so included here.

I’m very sad to report that Svejk U Karla is PERMANENTLY CLOSED.

It is still listed on many gluten free apps and other gluten free Prague blog posts, so I wanted to specifically warn you here. Don’t get your hopes up!

Non-Dedicated Gluten Free Prague Restaurants

There are plenty of other places to eat in Prague that, although not 100% gluten free, offer gluten free options and take steps to prevent cross contact.

Grandium Hotel – Gluten Free Hotel in Prague

Grandium Hotel (previously called Hotel Yasmin) is not actually a restaurant, but serves an incredible gluten free breakfast option!

This is where we stayed in Prague, and I recommend it to everyone, especially gluten free travelers. Grandium Hotel is a four star hotel in Prague 1 that’s quite cheap (yay Prague prices – although they do seem to be victims of inflation since my last visit!) and breakfast is included in the cost.

It turns out that there was not only a 100% gluten free omelette station, but also a basket of gluten free bread and pastries, and special gluten free granola!

Address: Grandium Hotel Prague, Politických vězňů 913/12, 110 00 Nové Město, Czechia

Cafe Savoy

Cafe Savoy is one of Prague’s most well known restaurants, located along the river on the Mala Strana side, and is on many travelers’ Prague ‘bucket list’. It is a truly grand restaurant with an ambience straight out of 1893 – when it was founded! As such, be prepared to either make a reservation, or have a very long wait for a table.

In terms of gluten free options, Cafe Savoy offers gluten free bread, although it is unclear to me whether this is prepared in a dedicated toaster (please check!). So this could be a good breakfast option, if you are desperate to experience this iconic Prague institution. However, you will definitely have limited options and will not be able to partake in the mountains of pastries.

We attempted eating at Cafe Savoy but didn’t make a reservation, and weren’t prepared to wait. However, I ran into a celiac couple on our last night in Prague, who said that they loved Cafe Savoy and they had the gluten free bread.

Since then, I have seen some mixed reviews online regarding gluten free options – my advice is to go in with low expectations, and come here for the ambience and not the food.

Address: Cafe Savoy, Vítězná 124/5, Vítězná 5, 150 00 Praha, Czechia

I have not eaten at Cafe Savoy myself but was told rave reviews by a celiac couple I met in Prague. Come here for the grandeur and ambience (and gluten free bread)!

Arepas de Lyna

Arepas de Lyna is a tiny Venezuelan restaurant that’s tucked away in Prague 1. Due to the nature of Venezuelan food, the menu is almost completely gluten free!

The restaurant’s namesake, Arepas, are a traditional Venezuelan dish that’s essentially a flat pancake made out of corn flour.

This is a dinner-only establishment, but definitely stop by for a low key and gluten free meal!

Address: Arepas de Lyna, Korunní 1173/83, 130 00 Vinohrady, Czechia

Vegan’s Prague

Vegan’s Prague is located in Mala Strana, and well situated if you are on your way up to (or back from) Prague Castle. It advertises gluten free and vegan burgers, gluten free traditional potato goulash, and offers gluten free crackers.

We did not eat here as we were on our way to U Magistra Kelly (see above!), but I have seen very positive reviews online.

Address: Vegan’s Prague, 36, Nerudova 221, Malá Strana, 118 00 Praha 1, Czechia

Podolka

Like the other restaurants in this section, Podolka is not a dedicated gluten free restaurant. However, they do have plenty of gluten free options, and mark these clearly on the menu. The staff and chef also have an understanding of celiac disease, so they are able to prepare your meal in the safest way.

There are two locations – one in Karlin and one in Poldoli. Personally, I love the Karlin district and even wrote a whole guide on what to do in Karlin!

Address: Podolka, Podolské nábřeží – Přístav 1, 147 00, Czechia

Podolka has two locations in Prague and marks all gluten free items on the menu. The staff is very knowledgable on celiac!

Pizza Nuova

Pizza Nuova is a really popular restaurant in Prague that you will see on a lot of ‘gluten free Prague’ lists. It’s little deceptive, though, and I want to warn you: you cannot get gluten free pizza here!

Sadly, due to the use of a shared oven, Pizza Nuova does not offer gluten free pizza. I know, I was disappointed at first, too. However you can definitely put a positive spin on this: the staff at Pizza Nuova clearly understand celiac disease and the importance of preventing cross contact!

They do offer gluten free pasta, so you certainly won’t go hungry here.

Address: Pizza Nuova, Revoluční 655/1, 110 00 Staré Město, Czechia

MAITREA

Located in Prague Old Town, MAITREA is another vegetarian restaurant in Prague that also has gluten free options!

Perfect if your traveling group has multiple needs. If you’re in the market for a combo gluten free and vegetarian friendly restaurant, then MAITREA seems like the best place – even better than Vegan’s Restaurant, in my opinion. This is because not only does the menu mark gluten free items, but there is also gluten free bread available.

Address: MAITREA, Týnská ulička 1064/6, 110 00 Staré Město, Czechia

In the city where beer is cheaper than water, what's a celiac to do? Use this gluten free Prague guide to find gluten free restaurants, cafes, and more. #glutenfreeprague #pragueglutenfree
Plenty of gluten free AND vegetarian dishes at MAITREA!

Mali Bistro

Mali Bistro is the ultimate restaurant for making celiacs feel welcome. They serve hamburgers, pizzas and more with normal gluten containing ingredients but ALSO offer gluten free alternatives for each dish! Gluten free pizza bases and buns galore!

They do mention on their website that this is safe for celiacs however I have not eaten there myself (yet). Be sure to check that ovens and prep surfaces avoid cross contact and so actually are celiac safe!

Address: Mali Bistro, Freyova 247/13, 190 00 Praha 9, Czechia

Wow, look at that gluten free bun by Mali Bistro! Photo credit: Mali Bistro Facebook page.

Gluten Free Prague Cafes

In addition to the two dedicated gluten free Prague bakeries/cafes (Babiccino Spiz and Sweet Secret of Raw) that I mentioned earlier, there are a few other cafes well worth mentioning!

Muj Salek Kavy

Muj Salek Kavy is lauded as the best cafe in Prague by a lot of different sources, including this gluten free writer!

It’s also the establishment which is credited for the comeback of the Karlin neighborhood, a once rough area of Prague that is now seeing an economic/cultural rebirth. We could definitely see why, as this was a very hip cafe, super crowded, and we waited about 15 minutes to be seated on a Sunday morning.

Their menu is full of specialty coffees, juices, and they carry lots of gluten free cakes and brunch options.

I also want to note that since my visit, Muj Salek Kavy has taken their gluten free options to the next level! They now prepare their own gluten free bread in house. This bread has rave reviews and I honestly would love to return to Prague just to try it out.

Address: Muj Salek Kavy, Křižíkova 386/105, 186 00 Praha 8-Karlín, Czechia

The drinks at Muj Salek Kavy are also incredible. This is the mocha I ordered… super thick, chocolatey, and with coconut flakes. Not your average mocha.

Kavarna Kocici – Gluten Free Prague cat cafe!

Kavarna Kocici is Prague’s one and only CAT CAFE!! Who knew?! Certainly not us, as we actually found this place by accident while exploring Karlin.

It’s a bit further out from Prague’s center, but such a fun and unique experience. Dan and I both just ordered coffees and played with the cats, but their menu does list allergens, so I know I could’ve ordered a salad (which is actually a feat in this city).

There are also gluten free cakes available, but I don’t know about the preparation or risk of cross contact so be sure to ask! There is a 20kc cover charge to come in, which contributes to the cats’ care.

Address: Kavarna Kocici, Michalská 430/3, 110 00 Staré Město, Czechia

My Raw Cafe

My Raw Cafe is another gluten free and vegan café. It looks like a great place to also enjoy a coffee and more. My Raw Cafe allows reservations and also runs raw food courses if you’d like to learn more about how and why they prepare their food in the way they do.

Address: My Raw Cafe, Na Struze 5, 110 00 Nové Město, Czechia

Gluten Free Prague Drinking: Beer and Cider

As we know, Prague is the city where beer is cheaper than water (seriously, I think they’re so proud of this phrase, but it’s true). But can those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance join in?

Beer: Gluten Free vs. Gluten Removed

As far as gluten free beer goes, I tried Celia (at Svejk U Karla and Alriso) and Bernard’s (we only saw this sold at Svejk U Karla). Personally, I preferred the Celia which was crisp and light and supposedly like an IPA… the Bernard’s was much more like an ale according to Dan.

Both Celia and Bernard’s are gluten removed beers. This means that they were brewed with barley malt, which is then removed post production. Both beers test at <20ppm which is the cut off for something to be considered gluten free (Celia at <5ppm and Bernard’s at <20ppm).

There is a lot of contention around this topic, with notable differences between Europe and the USA. For instance, in the USA the FDA rules that gluten-removed beer cannot be labeled ‘gluten free’. In Europe, gluten removed beer is widely accepted, despite research pointing it may still not be safe for celiacs.

Ultimately, this is a personal decision you must make for yourself in conversation with your doctor and dietitian. I personally no longer drink gluten removed beer and I have to say I feel a lot better and noticed subtle symptoms go away after I made that change.

If I was to go back in time, I would not drink the gluten removed beer in Prague again. My hope is that on my next visit I can actually discover some beer brewed from gluten free grains!

Cider

Luckily, there is not the same contention with cider, which is naturally gluten free! Phew.

If you’re into cider, you won’t find it many places in Prague, and when you do it will be much more pricy than beer. I got a quite good price for Kingswood Apple Cider at U Magistra Kelly, though, for only 40kc!

Closed Gluten Free Prague Restaurants

For whatever reason, there seems to be a really high turnover of gluten free restaurants in Prague. I try to keep this post as updated as possible with closed restaurants, or new gluten free restaurants on the scene.

Before my own trip to Prague, I read some really great gluten free guides, but unfortunately most of these posts were quite old! Which means that actually a lot of the gluten free restaurants they mention NO LONGER EXIST. So, don’t make the same mistake as us and spend 30 minutes walking in circles trying to find a restaurant that it turns out has been closed for years.

Some notable gluten free Prague restaurants that are now closed:

  • Svejk U Karla
  • U Magistra Kelly
  • Little Whale Restaurant/U Male Velybry
  • Na zlaté křižovatce
  • White & Crispy
  • Tricafe
  • Lavande

At least the disappointment of Little Whale led to discovering the John Lennon wall!

Where to Stay for your Gluten Free Prague Visit

As I mentioned earlier in this article, gluten free breakfast is somewhat hard to come by in Prague. I highly recommend staying in a hotel that caters to gluten free guests with a safe breakfast.

Grandium Hotel

Grandium Hotel is where we stayed in Prague. It is a four star hotel at an incredibly reasonable price, in a great location in Prague 1. For breakfast, I could have omelettes, gluten free pastries, gluten free bread, and more. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

Book your stay here.

Gluten Free Prague: Final Thoughts

There you have it! Prague was an incredible place to visit, and I was so happy that I got to experience it despite having to eat gluten free.

In fact, we definitely saw more of Prague than we would’ve if I wasn’t gluten free, as we traveled across the city looking for gluten free restaurants. And that made the trip even more memorable!

With your gluten free Czech translation card, this gluten free Prague guide, and a bit of perseverence, I’m sure you’ll have an amazing trip to Prague.

As usual, please comment below or email me if you use this guide on your trip to Prague. I try to keep it as updated as possible so let me know if any restaurant closes or changes its options. Happy traveling, and happy eating!

  1. The gluten free menus look absolutely fantastic! Planning to go to Prague in March, hopefully will check some of these out.

  2. This is such a helpful post! I’ve been planning to travel to Prague with some girlfriends – but have been a bit worried about eating gluten-free. Now I’m not as worried at all!

  3. I’m not gluten-free, but I have some friends that are, and I know they find your tips helpful! Though I’m an avid beer fan, you’ve got me curious to see how gluten-free beers taste. Thanks for your tips on Prague!

    1. Oh I hope this can help them out 🙂 My boyfriend just had some of my GF Pilsner last night and said it tasted even better than his (non-GF) beer! So although I can’t personally vouch for the difference, lol, it might be worth giving it a test, aha!

  4. Awesome post! I’m gluten free too and its sometimes tough to find good places when I’m traveling (if any at all). I’ve been to Svejk several times and love it! The portions are so huge!!! And also Lehka Hlava is prob my fav restaurant in Prague! It’s vegetarian/gluten free and the ambiance is also really great! Highly recommended!! 🙂

  5. SARAH! Could you possibly be more helpful? I don’t think so! You’ve got the map, the links, the detailed photos, prices, even the other posts you read! Before I visit a new city, I’m just coming to your blog first. I’m going to Prague again and I’m excited to try your recommendations. I have been to Cafe Savoy, but I don’t remember GF bread. They did have very tasty omelettes and chocolate lattes though. Looks like you had even more incredible food! Thanks again!

    1. Ahhh thank you Scarlett this honestly made my day!! I’m so glad I could be helpful – not all of my readers are obviously gluten free so sometimes I feel like I’m putting these uber researched posts out into the void haha, so I’m glad it was actually found by someone who could use it! I have gluten free posts on Brussels, Vienna, Budapest, and Ljubljana coming up in the next few months but if you need tips on those cities before I get the posts sorted, just shoot me a message!!

  6. I just wanted to say that I love that a traditional dish from my country is on this list even though is nowhere near Prague geographically. We’re conquering the world one Arepa at a time 🙂 Thank you so much for the recs btw!!

  7. I’m so happy I found your blog. Going to Prague soon now in 2023 and most of the blogs I’ve seen listed only now-closed restaurants! Reading about amazing gf food and not having it show up on Google is truly heartbreaking:( So thank you for updating!

    1. Yay!! Went through a long update process earlier this year so that makes me happy haha. I’m heading back to Prague in a few months, so if you do have any updates to the post based on your time there, comment and let me know!! Enjoy your trip 🙂

  8. Thank you so much for the detailed description of Prague g-free options!! we will certainly use it in our upcoming trip. Do you also have a guide for Scotland? I will be tankful if you could send me a link to [email protected]

    1. Hi Sivan, I’ve been to Scotland but unfortunately don’t have a guide written up as it was a long time ago. I recommend you join the Gluten Free Travel Around the World facebook group. I help moderate it, and people are super helpful in the comments if you ask for advice!

  9. I have just returned from Prague and would recommend the Studio DVA cafe. This is the theatre cafe and so is just off Wenceslas Square behind the KFC so very central. The square was packed but the cafe quiet. A good selection of gluten free meals and desserts at good prices with staff speaking good English.
    UGO salad bars are also a good alternatives if everywhere is busy.
    Being ‘a bit older’ one thing I did learn is that if you use the photo symbol on google search it will give you a translate option and it did a good job of translating the ingredients list.
