People often ask me about eating out gluten-free in Madrid, and when I was recently interviewed for the “Eat out Madrid” podcast about living in Madrid as a celiac/coeliac I took the chance to talk about some of the places I like to go eating out and where I can feel comfortable. Some people listening to the podcast may have struggled with my accent and weren’t able to hear clearly so I’m quickly adding the places I mention to this post. I’m also updating this post with some newer places as they open and I get to try them and removing places that are not dedicated gluten-free.
