Tel Aviv has quickly become Israel’s hub for gluten free food! With many 100% gluten free spots and countless gluten free friendly cafes, it isn’t too difficult to find somewhere to eat. The hard part is choosing which place! Maybe this gluten free Tel Aviv list will help you!
** Things change often and it is important to ALWAYS call or check with your server before eating anywhere to make sure they are still able to accommodate.
100% Dedicated Gluten Free:
Gluteria– (Not Kosher) Easily the best gluten free pizza in Israel and maybe even the world! Gluteria was originally a yearly pop-up but recently the opened a restaurant which offers delicious pizza, homemade breads, and crazy desserts all year round!
Okoko Raw Bar- More grab and go options outside Sarona Market powered by Mae Coffee. They’ve gone back and fourth between being fully gluten free and almost gluten free so be sure to ask and double check before ordering.
Blikemach- (Kosher) Located a little far from town in Ramat HaHayel, Blikemach is a 100% gluten free bakery with all the goodies you’ve been dreaming of! Cookies, cakes, breads, pizza, croissants, and more!
Gluten Free Friendly:
Vegan
Meshek Barzilay– (not kosher certified)
Vegan food that is well labeled and delicious gluten free bread, don’t mind if I do! They also host gluten free cooking courses. If you haven’t already added it, be sure to put Meshek on the top of your gluten free Tel Aviv list!
Dairy:
Biga- (Kosher) Located outside Sarona Market (with other chains around the country as well), Biga has delicious gluten free pasta and is generally known to be good about cross contact, just be sure to ask questions and tell them you’re celiac.. They also have take away baked goods, breads, and more.
La Lasagna– (Kosher) With a full separate gluten free menu, La Lasagna is a great option for Italian food in Tel Aviv. They have 14 years of experience and have become a favorite among kosher and non kosher eaters alike.
Nini Hachi– (Kosher) Did someone say sushi? Nini Hachi offers a fine dining option for sushi lovers. They pride themselves in their gluten free options and are a great safe sushi spot for Celiacs.
Johnny Falafel / Falafel Banin- (Kosher) Open since 1955, Johnny Falafel has gluten free pita, a dedicated gluten free fryer, and separate salatim! It really doesn’t get much butter than that- but it helps that Johnny is also one fo the nicest people I have ever met!
Meat:
Bretonne- This Creperie (with multiple locations across Tel Aviv) is serving up gluten free buckwheat crepes with vegan, dairy, and meat options. They also have sweet crepes stuffed with yumminess like Nutella, fresh fruit, cream, and more. They do have a kosher location in Ramat HaChayal that is dairy only.
Old Man and the Sea– While I always assumed this famous spot known for its sharing plates would be a cross contamination nightmare, I have heard nothing but wonderful things for their attention to dietary needs. I haven’t been personally but be sure to call and make sure this is true.
BaliInjera: (kosher) This Ethiopian spot in the Kerem HaTemani is everything you ever dreamed of. All but two things on their menu are gluten free and they are super cautious. They have amazing vegan options as well. A great budget friendly/ sharing option.
Dessert:
Arte : Gluten free ice cream in a gluten free cone right next to Shuk HaCarmel? Count me in! Last time I checked all of their flavors except one were gluten free! They will scoop ice cream with a new scoop from the untouched part of the display.
Don’t forget to check this gluten free Tel Aviv list frequently! I will be adding new spots as they open! Stay up to date by following me on Instagram.
