San Carlos de Bariloche presents a setup rarely seen elsewhere: of the 4 verified addresses in our database, all 4 are fully dedicated kitchens. No wheat flour on the premises, anywhere. The flip side is the nature of these addresses: only one is a restaurant where you dine. The other three are about stocking up — bakery, grocer, takeout counter. In Bariloche, eating gluten-free means organizing ahead.

The two addresses where you eat on site

CHIMI DELI cocina para todos SIN TACC, calle Ada María Elflein, presents itself as Bariloche’s only 100% gluten-free restaurant. The menu is varied, with vegetarian and vegan options, and the place is designed to be accessible and inclusive, including for people with disabilities. The dedicated status is confirmed by Find Me Gluten Free, which classifies it as a “Dedicated Gluten-Free Restaurant,” by Tripadvisor, by the shop’s Instagram account and by several travel guides, all agreeing on the address. It’s the city’s sit-down meal.

Tienda de Chipá, calle Mitre 641, specializes in chipá made from cassava starch, naturally gluten-free. The brand has five outlets in town, including one at San Martín 162. It appears in Argentine gluten-free directories such as lugaresingluten.com and on Find Me Gluten Free, and the address was cross-checked with the official site. A simple, takeout break, easy to reach from the center.

Bread and provisions, avenida de los Pioneros

Ruca Umel, at 4962 avenida de los Pioneros, is a 100% gluten-free bakery-patisserie: bread, pasta, empanadas, pizzas and frozen tarts to reheat at home. The shop also sells wholesale and ships nationwide. Find Me Gluten Free classifies it as a “Dedicated Gluten-Free Bakery,” and customer feedback confirms an exclusively sin-TACC production. One practical, not sanitary, caveat: part of the offering is frozen, so reserve it for when you can reheat food on site.

Ostara Almacén Sin Gluten, on the same avenue at 3953, is an online grocer entirely dedicated: flours, ready-mixes, pasta, snacks, frozen goods and supplements. Same-day delivery in town for any order placed before 3 p.m. The catalog and address were verified directly on the official site. It’s the solution if you’re staying in an apartment for several days.

Our tips on site

  • Say “Soy celíaco” or “Soy celíaca,” and look for the wording “sin TACC”: it’s Argentina’s official phrase, covering wheat, oats, barley and rye.
  • ACELA, the Asociación Celíaca Argentina, is the country’s national reference association for celiac people.
  • Avenida de los Pioneros concentrates the stocking-up: Ruca Umel at 4962 and Ostara at 3953 are on the same road. The restaurant and the chipá counter, meanwhile, are in town.
