Here are a couple of tips. _ In Helsinki it's quite easy to find gluten free food. I was born in Helsinki and I have_spent all of my life here. I always love to try new restaurants and the gluten free diet has never been a big_problem for me. People know here quite well what is coeliac disease so eating out isn’t frustrating.

Usually a gluten free meal is marked in the menu with a capital letter G below the description. If, however, the Gs are missing from a menu, it doesn't necessarily mean they don't have anything for you to eat. In that case, you just have to go and ask the waitress!

Do you feel like having gluten free pizza or pasta? In that case, I would recommend Rosso or Dennis. In Rosso they also serve gluten free bread with any meal. Gluten free pizza is also available in Kotipizza.

Gluten free hamburgers can also be found in Amarillo, Chico's and McDonalds.
