The two restaurants

Rio Sur SIN TACC, Eduardo Elordi 480, is the city’s most complete table: pizzas, pasta, milanesas, sandwiches, empanadas, and gluten-free beer — a rare item, sparing the usual end-of-meal trade-off. Find Me Gluten Free classifies the business as “entirely gluten free,” and the official page, an article from the daily Río Negro and the municipal tourism site all confirm.

La Tapioquería is a 100% gluten-free restaurant specializing in Brazilian tapioca, those cassava-starch flatbreads, in sweet and savory versions, with vegetarian and vegan options. A practical, not sanitary, caveat: our sources disagree on the address — our listing says Belgrano 940, other sources cite avenida San Martín 866. Check before heading over; it doesn’t change the business’s gluten-free classification.

The bakery

Artesano, Juez del Valle 862, is a gluten-free bakery-patisserie run by Manuel de la Cruz and Agustina Crexel, who blend their own flour mixes. Breads, cakes, tarts and pastries, all sin TACC. The local press covered its opening, and its reputation is solid: 9.8/10 on Find Me Gluten Free. It’s the address for breakfast and bread to take on a hike.

Our tips on site

  • Say “Soy celíaco” or “Soy celíaca,” rather than “sin gluten”: it’s the word that triggers real precautions in the kitchen.
  • Look for the wording “sin TACC,” Argentina’s official labeling, on menus and packaging alike.
  • ACELA (Asistencia al Celíaco de la Argentina) is the national celiac association; it’s the country’s reference on the subject.
  • Confirm La Tapioquería’s address before crossing town, and for the rest of the trip, our guide to gluten-free travel in Argentina covers the whole country.
