Gluten Free Restaurants in Coron

If you’re here, there’s a good chance you’re gluten intolerant or have coeliac disease. The truth is, in the Philippines, including Coron, awareness of allergens like gluten is pretty low. Still, there are a few places you can explore that may cater to your dietary needs.

If you’re coeliac, be aware: Coron doesn’t have any dedicated gluten-free restaurants. Unfortunately, proper handling of gluten and other allergens isn’t as common here as in other parts of the country or the world. Still, some hotels and restaurants are slowly starting to take steps to improve the situation. Hopefully, there will soon be gluten-free restaurants in Coron.

In the meantime, using common sense is the best way to protect yourself. If you’re planning to visit Coron or other remote areas in the Philippines, it’s wise to gather all the necessary information before ordering food, draw your own conclusions, and make decisions based on solid facts. For instance, it’s suspicious to order a gluten-free meal from a bakery or pizza restaurant where the kitchen is foggy with wheat flour. Instead, opting for grilled fish with rice at a place that only grills is likely a safer choice for those who are gluten intolerant or coeliac.
