Pondji
Gluten-free optionsSmall Brazilian restaurant in Neukölln (Mainzer Straße 23) specialising in pão de queijo, plain or filled, with a dish of the day (moqueca, feijoada) from Thursday to Sunday. The menu describes the tapioca-flour pão de queijo as naturally gluten-free, but the venue does not say its whole kitchen is: treat it as a mixed kitchen with a risk of cross-contamination, and ask about other dishes.
No dedicated menu; adaptable dishes are flagged.
Good to know if you have celiac disease
Cross-contamination risk. Mixed kitchen, not entirely dedicated to gluten-free: contact with or shared preparation alongside gluten-containing products remains possible, even with no specific mechanism identified to date.
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.

"Not verified" means we could not confirm it at the source — not that it is safe. Ask on site.
Existing establishment; gluten-free level and risks confirmed at the source.
Sources — Verified on 07/10/2026: the restaurant's menu (PDF on the official website) states that the pão de queijo, made with tapioca flour and cheese, is "gluten-free"; it does not describe the other dishes and does not declare an entirely gluten-free kitchen.
