<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi, I just returned from a semester in Ireland and wanted to share my findings--especially since I was given some good advice before I went. Overall, Ireland is a great place for gluten-free! List of gluten free options in Ireland All over Ireland: Hard Cider Bulmers: Bulmers hard cider is available in every pub in Ireland. It's a great feeling to order a pint and feel like part of the crowd—delicious too! Other ciders are Magners and Cashels. In grocery stores, many options of cider are available and often it is the cheapest alcohol in stores (can be pricey in pubs.) Local grocery stores, such as Spar, Tesco, Dunnes and SuperQuinn always have at least some gluten free options. Kelkin and Free From are 2 brands that have decent gluten-free products. . Dublin: Kilkenny Design Center Restaurant, Nassau St: gluten-free café that has lunch options, soups, scones every day; usually only open until 5:30 PM. The scones are delicious and I have had no issues with contamination! Cornucopia 19 Wicklow Street: Vegetarian restaurant; almost everything is gluten-free as well, but their contamination practices seem to be questionable, in my opinion. I am very sensitive to trace gluten so I avoided it after possibly getting sick once from it—up to you. Their gf bread is excellent though and they have large filling servings. Beshoff's Brothers Fish and Chips: gluten free fish and chips every Saturday from noon-5 PM. Definitely worth a visit. Roly's, 7 Ballsbridge; the owner is a celiac; www.rolysbistro.ie Itsabagel: serves gluten free bagel sandwiches (in addition to regular ones) Supermacs and McDonald's say their fries are gluten free in Ireland. Peploe's Wine Bistro, 16 St. Stephen's Green *O'Connells, *Bewley's Hotel, Merrion Road; Rosemary Kearney, author of 'Healthy Gluten Free Eating', has joined the team as a consultant, and the goal is for O'Connell's to become Ireland's most coeliac-friendly restaurant. Galway: Cellar Bar: restaurant with C's and MC's on menu (C's for Celiac friendly; MC for can be modified for Celiacs) Mia's Muffins: every Saturday there is an open-air market that has this vendor who sells gluten free muffins, brownies and tarts. The King's Head: Menu is marked for gluten-free food with a green dot next to dishes. Gluten free soup, good gluten-free bread, and gluten free beer as well as cider McSwiggens: Pub, just ask for which items are gluten free. I had the best vegetable soup here! Balcony B&B: GF breakfast toast, eggs, bacon! Just email and mention it before arrival. CoCo Café: Gluten free bread; sandwiches, salads, cookies (packaged but good) The Coeliac Society of Ireland Contact: Carmichael House 4 North Brunswick Street *Dublin* 7, Ireland, Europe Tel: 353-1-872-1471 (Mon-Wed-Fri 10 AM to 1 PM) E-mail: [log in to unmask] Hope this helps any Irish travelers! (If you have a choice, go in September/October, it's the best weather!)
