Gluten Free in Funchal: Cris’s

Date
Jan, 06, 2021

A cozy restaurant along the Lido walking path with good food and attentive staff. The menu is extensive and even has a small section with some gluten free dishes singled out. Staff is attentive and the restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere, especially inside.

Details of Establishment:

Name: Cris’s
Type
:  Restaurant
Location: Edifício Tecnoparque Passeio Público Marítimo Sítio da, R. da Quinta Calaça, 9000-108 Funchal
Tips: They have a separate section on the menu for gluten free desserts!

Gluten free or not gluten free observations:

Item(s) ordered: Prawn risotto
GF observation: The menu has a separate section for gluten free dishes. While this is rather small, there are more dishes on the menu that are also gluten free, but you need to ask the waiter about this. I ordered “off” the gluten free menu, and the waiter checked with the kitchen to make sure the risotto was safe.

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.
