Stuttgart is a rare case in our database: of the city’s 4 verified addresses, all 4 are fully dedicated kitchens. No wheat flour on the premises, anywhere. So there’s no section in this article about mixed kitchens and the precautions to take when ordering: in Stuttgart, you walk in and order. The only choice to make is what to eat — a vegan restaurant, a Mexican, a bakery, or a grocery store to stock up.

The two dedicated restaurants

Tacolega, at 20 Breitscheidstraße, near Berliner Platz, serves entirely gluten-free Mexican food: tacos, quesadillas and nachos, made with corn tortillas prepared fresh in-house every day. What matters here: the kitchen has been reviewed by the Deutsche Zöliakie-Gesellschaft, the German celiac association, which published an article about it. The establishment’s website and local press agree. It’s the most solidly documented address in the city.

Energetic life Restaurant, at 8 Schulstraße, right in the center, is a vegan, gluten-free and refined-sugar-free restaurant: tapas, tacos and bowls made from millet, buckwheat and chestnut flours. The place is welcoming and family-friendly, and celiac customers particularly recommend it. Local press and specialist reviews agree.

The bakery and the grocery store

Isabella Glutenfreie Pâtisserie, at 5 Eduard-Breuninger-Straße, is the Isabella brand’s second location, set inside the Dorotheen Quartier, with a pink-and-gold decor. Tarts, muffins and macarons there are vegan and all made gluten-free. Verified via the official website — which has a page dedicated to Stuttgart — HappyCow and TripAdvisor.

DLCS Store, at 17 Falbenhennenstraße, in the Stuttgart-Süd district, is a grocery store entirely dedicated to gluten-free and dairy-free products: more than 800 items — breads, pasta, cookies, snacks — from brands like Schär, Bauck or Hammermühle, in-store or online, with personalized advice. It was created by a family directly affected by celiac disease. Local press has covered it, and Zöliakie Austausch recommends it. Worth doing on arrival, to stock up on snacks for the stay.

Our tips on site

  • Say “Ich habe Zöliakie” rather than “glutenfrei”: it’s the medical term, and it’s the one that triggers precautions. In Stuttgart, at these four addresses, you won’t need to insist anyway.
  • The DZG, Deutsche Zöliakie-Gesellschaft, is Germany’s national association for people with celiac disease; it’s the one that reviewed Tacolega’s kitchen.
  • The center holds most of it. Schulstraße, Eduard-Breuninger-Straße and Breitscheidstraße are all in or near downtown; the DLCS Store is a bit further south, in Stuttgart-Süd.
  • Continuing beyond Stuttgart? Our guide to gluten-free travel in Germany covers the rest of the country.
