Nut, Gluten, Soy + Shellfish-Free Berlin Top Picks

Hi! I’m Marlene, I split my time between Berlin and Santa Barbara, CA and found many safe spots to eat while managing both celiac and peanut, tree nut, soy, shellfish, and tomato allergies and shared them on the Spokin app. I’m excited to share my favorite safe spots in Berlin and they are all featured in this guide. One of my favorites is Trattoria Senza, where I had Spaghetti alla Nerano! A fun thing to do if you are in Berlin is walking along the Spree river where you can see everything from historical to modern architecture and alternative neighborhoods.

Peanut, Macadamia Nut, Pecan, Pine Nut, Pistachio, and Walnut-Free Germany Travel Guide

Hi! I’m Bella, I studied abroad in Berlin, Germany while managing peanut, macadamia nut, pecan, pine nut, pistachio, and walnut allergies. I also traveled to Munich, Cologne, Hamburg, and Frankfurt, where I found many safe restaurants, treats, cafés, and grocery stores. I shared all my finds on the Spokin app and they’re all also featured in this guide. During Oktoberfest, one of my favorite local cafes was Die Kuchenmeisterei where I had a traditional Bavarian breakfast, listened to live music, and chatted with the incredibly kind and allergy aware owners. A fun thing to do if you are in Cologne during the holidays is visit the super quaint Heinzels Wintermärchen market in Altstadt!
