Glutenvrij op portugese vakantie bij Book.YourHoliday.PT
Na het ontvangen van onze eerste “glutenvrije vakantie gasten” jaren geleden, hebben wij ons verder verdiept in Coeliakie en wat dit betekent voor onze gasten die graag een glutenvrije vakantie in Portugal willen.
Veel gasten, die glutenvrij moeten eten, zijn inmiddels op bezoek geweest en hebben genoten van de speciale pizza avond, de extra schone keuken, het kunnen bakken van eigen brood en de beschikbaarheid in de winkels van glutenvrije producten.
Wij zorgen voor een “Glutenvrije box” met de volgende inhoud: vergiet, koekenpan, kunststof snijplank, spatels, broodrooster, broodmes, nieuwe vaatdoek, afwasborstel en sponsjes.
Ook wordt voor aankomst je keuken extra grondig schoongemaakt en al het serviesgoed gaat apart in de vaatwasser.
Diverse van onze accommodaties op Quinta das Cantigas beschikken over een oven waarin u zelf brood en pizza’s kunt bakken. Bijvoorbeeld Casa da Tapada, Casa no Pomar, Casa Palmeira, Casinho Canção. Daarnaast ook in ons strand appartement Solmar en beachview villa Pines of Salgado.
Bij onze gezamenlijke pizza-avond houden wij ook rekening met je dieet. Regelmatig schuiven er een of meer gasten met Coeliaki aan! Samen een glutenvrije vakantie in Portugal!
In de directe omgeving zijn diverse winkels waar je glutenvrije producten kunt kopen van o.a. het merk Schar. Producten zoals afbakbroodjes, koekjes, pizzabodems, luchtige crackers, cornflakes, pasta, witbrood en soepstengels. Meer details vindt je verder op in deze pagina.
Als je het fijn vindt, kun voor je glutenvrije vakantie in Portugal natuurlijk ook een doos met glutenvrije producten tijdig naar ons opsturen. Wij zetten hem dan in je accommodatie neer. Dat geeft wellicht een nog veiliger gevoel.
Op vakantie glutenvrij uit eten in Portugal
Op vakantie in Portugal ga je graag uit eten, ook glutenvrij. Uit eten met Coeliakie blijft natuurlijk wel wat lastiger. De bekendheid van “gluten vrij” in de restaurants neemt echter goed toe. Duidelijk uitvragen blijft wel noodzakelijk.
Download en gebruik deze tekst in het portugees over wat je wel en niet mag eten.
Trouwens de Portugese keuken is heel basic met bijvoorbeeld veel gegrilde vlees of verse vis en gekookte of gebakken aardappelen en bijvoorbeeld sla met heerlijke tomaat.

You can buy gluten free (GF) products in several supermarkets like “Continente”, “Auchan”, “Pingo Doce”, “El Corte Inglês”, “Intermarché”, “Aldi”, “Lidl”, “Mercadona”, “Supermercados Apolónia (in Algarve) and through some online stores. We also have a nationwide network of health shops like “Celeiro” and some pharmacies that sell GF products. See here the points of sale in Portugal where you can get GF products.
Specific gluten free products are universally identified with the symbol of the cut stem. There are some products that already indicate “gluten free” (in Portuguese is: isento de glúten) like yogurt flavours, ham, cheese, others. You can also find the internacional symbol – Crossed Grain Trademark (CGT), on supermarket products as a way to identify what is gluten free. See all portuguese licence brands using the CGT here. Intermarché, Continente, Pingo Doce and Auchan are supermarkets with a lot of naturally gluten free products of their own brands.
Likewise, if a product has gluten in their composition, it is mandatory that the allergen wheat, rye, barley or oats, is identified in bold in ingredient list of the product. Some products also have the warning “May contain traces of gluten” (in Portuguese is: “Pode conter vestígios de glúten”).
In Portugal we have some establishments offering gluten-free menus. See it here the places that are certified by APC.
McDonald’s Portugal already have gluten-free menus available in every stores. You can also have two gluten free pizzas in Telepizza.
The Portuguese gastronomy is full of gluten free plates. Although that, the usual GF dining rules should apply when eating out in Portugal. To be sure of what you are eating, inform the waiter that you cannot eat certain grains. State that you have celiac disease and for health reasons (and not for choice), you cannot eat “trigo, cevada e centeio”. Say that you can eat “meat, fish, eggs, legumes, fresh potatoes, simple white rice, vegetables and fruits” (“carne, peixe, ovos, leguminosas, batata, arroz branco simples, vegetais e frutas”). Portuguese restaurants serve several grilled dishes along with potatoes, vegetables, and rice, so it should not be difficult to find suitable food. Just be careful with fried food (the oil may be contaminated by other food), rice (it may be prepared with stock) and potatoes chips (some commercial ones may contain traces of gluten).
At the bottom of this page is an explanation of acceptable and unacceptable grains and their derivatives that you can print out and show in the hotels, waiters, chefs and anyone else who may be involved in preparing your foods. In restaurants, insist that the waiter ask in the kitchen how the foods are prepared. Do not accept the waiter’s immediate answer that the foods are OK. The statement below should be useful in communicating your needs.
If you would feel more comfortable bringing your own GF foods to Portugal, you may do so. We have no information to indicate that this would be a problem as you enter the country. If you experience a problem bringing food into Portugal, please let us know.
If you need assistance regarding gluten free products, you may call our mobile number on +351 918 139 511, or our office number +351 21 753 01 93, or by facebook.
