The Capital of the Czech Republic in the heart of Europe is a marvellous city, known for an abundance of inexpensive beer. As we recently discovered, it’s also a home of numerous gluten free restaurants and bakeries, plus grocery stores stocked with gluten free food and treats.

Celiac plus points: Knowledgeable about cross contamination. Prepare food safely, e.g. steamed spinach instead of pan fried.
We tried: Spinach chimney, yellow curry, raw poppy seed strudel
