Florianópolis shows a rare setup: the island’s 5 verified addresses are 5 fully dedicated kitchens, with no wheat flour on the premises. No mixed table to negotiate. The downside is geography — they’re spread from Itacorubi to Campeche, with no neighborhood bringing them together — and most are bread-and-pastry houses more than restaurants where you sit down for a long meal.

Dedicated tables and labs

Bistrô sem Glúten, on Arnoldo Cândido Raulino street, wears its status in its name: a dedicated establishment specializing in gluten-free, dairy-free and preservative-free breads and dishes, also with sugar-free options. Its customers praise the welcome, and its Google rating is 4.8. Address and details confirmed via the official site and the house’s social channels.

Escolha Biô, on Rodovia Admar Gonzaga, in the Itacorubi neighborhood, is a fully dedicated vegan bakery-patisserie: no wheat-based product enters the kitchen. Breads, pizzas, cakes and brownies, to go or by order, with an average rating of 4.8/5.

Paní – Vida Sem Glúten, in Rio Tavares, is a 100% gluten-free lab focused on breads, quiches, coxinhas and pastries, with on-site sales and delivery. TripAdvisor rates it 5/5, and business registries confirm a gluten-free bakery manufacturing activity.

For bread, cakes and the week ahead

Tradições & Pãezinhos, on Souza Dutra street, is a patisserie-bakery that has specialized for ten years in 100% gluten-free and lactose-free products, designed to be safe for celiac people. Its official site and Instagram presence are explicit about both exclusions — a useful address if you combine celiac disease with lactose intolerance.

Veritá, on Avenida Campeche, belongs to the national franchise of the same name: the entire range is gluten-free and dairy-free, developed by nutritionists and presented as safe for celiacs. This is the address for the south of the island, the most convenient if you’re staying near the Campeche beaches.

Our tips on site

  • Say “Sou celíaco” or “Sou celíaca” (I am celiac). And for a specific dish, “Tem glúten?” (Does it contain gluten?). The “contém glúten” labeling is mandatory in Brazil on packaged products, which simplifies grocery shopping.
  • FENACELBRA, the Federação Nacional das Associações de Celíacos do Brasil, is the country’s reference national organization for celiac people.
  • Plan your trips. Itacorubi, Rio Tavares, Campeche: the five addresses are scattered across the island, and several also work by order and delivery. A call before crossing Florianópolis avoids disappointment.
  • Continuing elsewhere in Brazil? Our guide to gluten-free travel in Brazil covers the rest of the country.
