NutrixeEl Gato Gordo
100% gluten-freeEl Gato Gordo is a small Mexican restaurant in Antwerp whose entire menu — tacos, nachos, chili con carne — is made with house-made corn tortillas, naturally gluten-free, with no wheat products anywhere in the kitchen. Reviews praise the staff's attentiveness toward celiac guests. Only the beers served at the bar contain gluten, worth keeping in mind for the most sensitive.
No wheat, rye or barley flour ever enters the establishment.
Good to know if you have celiac disease
Gluten-removed barley beer. Some beers sold as "gluten-free" are barley beers treated enzymatically. Tests cannot reliably measure their residual gluten: they are not recommended for people with celiac disease.
