| The bakery in Hornstull. |
People adopting a gluten free diet has become quite
common these days... whether due to allergies, Coeliac disease or sometimes even as a fad
diet. But whatever the reason, there are many more options for people on a
gluten free diet these days than before. Restaurants in Stockholm are generally
very good at catering to people with dietary restrictions (gluten sensitivity,
lactose intolerance, vegetarianism, etc.). However, for best results, I would
recommend informing the restaurants ahead of time of any restrictions... like
when you book your table.

Of special note for people on a gluten free diet in
Stockholm is the bakery Friends of Adam. This wheat & gluten free bakery is
located on the island of Södermalm, in the hip neighborhood of Hornstull (not too far from the Rival
Hotel). Here you can purchase
bread, muffins, crisp bread, buns, cookies, mixes and other goodies... all
baked in the same locale. You can even pre order cakes for that special
occasion.

But you don't need to visit the bakery to buy Friends
of Adam products. Their products can be found in certain grocery stores
throughout the city. For example, right around
the corner from the Rival Hotel we have 8T8. This specialty grocery store sells what they call
"conscious" food. By that they mean food that is often organically
produced, made/grown locally and without unnecessary additives. They also have
a good choice of products for people with dietary restrictions or special
diets and do carry Friends of Adam cookies and crisp bread.
