Top 30 gluten-free restaurants in Santander

Gluten-free guide to Santander

Santander is a coastal destination where fish, shellfish and simple Cantabrian dishes can work well for gluten-free dining when the kitchen controls traces. ACECAN, the Cantabrian coeliac association, serves as a reference and collaborates with Santander's City Council on training campaigns and the promotion of the local network. Around harbour restaurants, fried-squid bars and beach areas, the key question is often the fryer: rabas, croquettes, potatoes and battered fish are unsafe if they share oil. For a calmer meal, look for grilled dishes, boiled shellfish or confirmed stews, and ask staff to remove bread and contaminated utensils from the start.
