Greek Stories
Location: Athens, Greece
“Greek Stories is a must visit if you are in Athens. After exploring the Acropolis we headed to lunch, located right in the heart of the city. Greek Stories is 100% gluten-free, besides beer. Their croquettes were my favorite! Their gluten-free pita comes from a gluten free-bakery in Athens.”

“Had another good gyro here with tzatziki and pita bread! The waitstaff were knowledgeable and helpful. The restaurant is also conveniently placed in the square next to the metro.”

Souvlaki Leivadia
Location: Athens, Greece
“We stopped here for lunch after the National Archeological Museum and ordered the ‘Menu for 2 Persons’–It comes with six souvlaki skewers, four pitas, a Greek salad, tzatziki, fries, and two drinks for €25. No obvious nuts on the menu and they fry in sunflower oil. The service was fast and friendly!”

The Karamanlidika Fanis
Location: Athens, Greece
“We met my husband’s Greek family here for dinner – They said it was a fabulous spot in Athens, authentic and loved by the locals. It is considered a Pastomageirio – “An eatery specializing in charcuterie and all kinds of preserved meats”—so most of the menu was mezze/tapas style. His family did most of the ordering in Greek, but the staff also seemed to speak English. My favorite dish was the Kefte sausage with yogurt sauce and pita, but all the food was incredible! There were minimal nuts on the menu from what I saw – Mostly just pistachios in the Baklava dessert. We had such a lovely meal here!”

Rare Greek Restaurant Santorini
Location: Imerovigli, Greece
“We ate here during our first night in Imerovigli. The waiter checked with the chef that all dishes that I ordered were safe for my allergies.
I ordered pita bread and a T-bone steak that came with French fries.
The French fries are cooked in sunflower oil. No nuts go in the fryer, but not sure about dairy as I’m okay with cross-contamination.”

Amalia’s Kitchen
Location: Iraklio, Greece
“We ordered dolmades (grape leaves), the dip trio with gluten-free pita, and gluten-free souvlaki with chicken. SO good. The fries are made in a dedicated fryer. The best part: our server knew exactly how to keep me safe. If you mention celiac, they’ll know how to help! A must dine spot in Heraklion.”

Vlahos
Location: Milos, Greece
“Such a cute and shaded spot for authentic gyros and souvlaki in Plaka! We were recommended this spot by a local on our boat cruise. Their menu was not available online, so we checked it over at the restaurant before getting a table. There were no obvious nuts, other than in the desserts. We safely enjoyed the chicken souvlaki pita wrap, lamb gyro, tzatziki, french fries, two cokes, and two Greek beers for less than €30!”

Mitato Grill Restaurant
Location: Nafplio, Greece
“Mitato Grill is a delicious option if you visit the romantic city of Nafplio in Peloponnese, Greece. The restaurant has a gluten-free menu and the staff was helpful in explaining their cooking protocols. There was even gluten-free pita!”

Marinos Kosmas Pastry and Bakery
Location: Nikea, Greece
“100% gluten-free bakery in Athens! A must visit if you are spending time in Athens. We took a taxi to get there because it was a bit of a walk in the high heat during the summer. If you are staying in an Airbnb, they have a whole freezer of traditional Greek foods that would be great to pick up! They are also known for their pastries. I picked up pita, a loaf of bread, and spinach pies.”

Armeni Restaurant
Location: Oia, Greece
“We LOVED this hidden gem that is only accessible by boat. It’s very casual and right on the water. It felt like a place that only the locals would know about. The servers were incredibly educated about nut allergies. When we mentioned that our daughter has nut allergies they pointed out 3 items that contained nuts that she would need to avoid—all of them had nuts listed so none were hidden. They mentioned that they give a complimentary dessert, but that it had nuts, and they would bring her something safe for her without us even asking. When we asked what kind of oil the French fries were made in they said olive oil, and told us before we could even ask that they were also the only food made in the fryer, and that nothing else went in the fryer. We had a lot of food including a pita bread, lots of dips: eggplant, tzatziki, fava bean, Greek salad, grilled halloumi cheese, grilled octopus, and French fries. Strongly recommend for the safety, food, service and the scene! Note the complimentary dessert is a frozen Nutella and biscuit dish. My daughter is not allergic to hazelnuts, but still passed on it, as they brought her vanilla ice cream to be on the safe side! Loved!”

Canaves Oia Epitome
Location: Oia, Greece
“Wow. I almost don’t know where to start at how amazing this hotel is both for food allergies as well as the actual hotel, rooms, pool, etc. One of the best overall hotel experiences we have had. They are incredibly aware and educated on cross-contamination and dare I say more conservative than we would even ask anyone to be—down to warning labels, preparation, and honestly we dropped out jaws at how attentive they were. Before we arrived I had emailed them to ask if they could accommodate our allergies knowing that breakfast was included and they replied not only could they absolutely accommodate, but also asked if they could remove nuts from our mini bar. I’m certain that is the first hotel that ever considered the mini bar! We ate breakfast every day at the poolside restaurant.
One day we ordered room service for lunch and had a Greek salad, Greek spreads with pita bread, fries, and falafel. One night we ordered a truffle and arugula pizza from the late night menu! The food was exceptional and the staff was so careful. 20 out of 10!”

Santorini Yachting Club
Location: Ormos Ammoudiou, Greece
“We went out with the Santorini yachting club today for a sunset sail/dinner. Immediately upon boarding they asked if anyone had any food allergies. They had grilled chicken, kebabs, Greek salad, pasta salad, pita bread, etc. for dinner. No nuts spotted anywhere. We did not ask specific questions since we were not traveling with our food allergic child, but they seemed to have a lot of options and clear policies in place (as with many places in Greece). “

Ferryman
Location: Schisma Elountas, Greece
“This was SUCH a good restaurant right along the water. The owner was so nice and warm. He said he promised her food would not have nuts “a million times,” and we saw very limited nuts on the food menu. We shared a bunch of appetizers including their homemade bread and pita, smoked eggplant dip, fried zucchini and grilled halloumi—all of which were out of this world! Our daughter had a pasta with lamb for her main dish and she ate some French fries that we had on the table. The zucchini came with walnuts on the side but it was clearly labeled on the menu. Very picturesque and outstanding food—highly recommend!”
