Finding vegan food in Ljubljana<\/strong> is no longer difficult. The Slovenian capital has a growing selection of plant-based caf\u00e9s, bistros and restaurants.<\/p>

Finding gluten-free food in Ljubljana<\/strong> has also become much easier, with several restaurants catering specifically to people avoiding gluten.<\/p>

But what if you need both vegan and gluten-free food at the same time<\/strong>?<\/p>

That is a much more specific challenge.<\/p>

A dish can be completely vegan and still contain wheat, barley or rye. At the same time, a 100% gluten-free restaurant may serve plenty of meat, fish, eggs or dairy.<\/p>

This guide focuses specifically on gluten-free and vegan restaurants in Ljubljana<\/strong> \u2013 places where the two dietary requirements overlap and where visitors can find, or request, food that is both plant-based and gluten-free<\/strong>.<\/p>

If gluten is your only concern, see our full guide to the Best Gluten-Free Restaurants in Ljubljana<\/a>. If you are only looking for plant-based food, visit our guide to the TOP 10 Vegan Restaurants in Ljubljana<\/a>.<\/p>

For travellers with celiac disease<\/strong>, De\u017eela okusov is one of the most important restaurants to know in Ljubljana.<\/p>

Located on Eipprova ulica in Trnovo, the restaurant describes its cuisine as 100% gluten-free<\/strong>. Rather than preparing a few gluten-free dishes alongside conventional food, gluten-free cooking is at the centre of the entire restaurant concept.<\/p>

Its menu includes soups, gnocchi, pasta, risotto, salads and meat-free main courses alongside meat and fish dishes. This means De\u017eela okusov is not a vegan restaurant<\/strong>, but guests looking for food that is both vegan and gluten-free should ask the staff which current meat-free dishes can also be prepared without any animal-derived ingredients.<\/p>

For someone who is both vegan and living with celiac disease<\/strong>, that distinction can actually be useful: gluten is already removed from the restaurant’s kitchen concept, so the main question becomes which dishes are suitable for a vegan diet.<\/p>

Best for:<\/strong> travellers with celiac disease who want a dedicated gluten-free restaurant and can confirm the current vegan options with staff.<\/p>

Address:<\/strong> Eipprova ulica 11, Ljubljana.<\/p>
