Gluten Free in Funchal: Hoyo Hoyo sabores de Moçambique

Getting tired of the same “old” dishes at most of the restaurants? How about a Mozambican meal? Yes, you heard me right. There is actually such a restaurant in Funchal, and you’ll be happy to know that a lot of the dishes are naturally gluten free. So, if you are feeling a little hungry while at the Forum mall, head outside and enjoy some new cuisine.

Details of Establishment:

Name: Hoyo Hoyo sabores de Moçambique
Type:  Restaurant
Location: Rua do Vale da Ajuda nr 35, 9000-116 Funchal
Tips:There is a little outdoor area at the back if you want fresh air.

Gluten free or not gluten free observations:

Item(s) ordered: Chicken piripiri + chicken Zambeziana + rice
GF observation: The menu is not allergen marked, but the owner seems to be well aware of which dishes are gluten free and which are not. Just make sure to emphasize that you are Celiac before ordering.

Celiac safety: This is not a 100% gluten free establishment, so there is always a risk of cross contamination.

Disclaimer: The above is based on the personal experience and opinion of a Celiac traveler. For eating places, you should still inquire about the gluten free options and ingredients as recipes, kitchen routines, staff and management may have changed. Only places marked “100% Celiac safe” are confirmed free from cross contamination. This post is not sponsored.
