Efteling

We visited the Efteling hotel where breakfast was included. We received a card which described what options at the breakfast are glutenfree. And they bake (if you ask) gluten free bread and a muffin. It’s also allowed to take the left overs with you.

In the park there are a lot of restaurants with gluten free options. Also pancakes, fries and snacks.

Een paar Efteling tips/ervaringen:

Het witte paard: hebben we goed gegeten. Kunnen maaltijd aanpassen.

De Steenbok: gv frikandel met patat uit aparte frituur!

Unox kraam: alleen de rookworst met bonen zonder broodje

Likkebaerd: Hamburger kraam naast Python: Heerlijke hamburgers zonder broodje

De Aardappel kraam: Lekkere spirello of hoe dat heet. Zo’n aardappel spiraal.

Polles pannenkoekenhuis: Niet te eten. Beslag is van water. De pannenkoek was erg dik droog en rare smaak. Terug gestuurd naar de keuken. En ik hoorde later dat ze uit de vriezer komen en dan in de magnetron gaan.

De vrolijke noot: Bij de uitgang: hamburger zonder broodje op met heerlijke patat

Hongerige machinist tegenover schommelboot heeft Gv kroketten!

Gelaarsde kat tegen over spoor Gv tosti

Ik heb gehoord dat ravelijn ook aanpassingen kan doen.

I was able to buy chips and gluten free kroket at one of the park restaurants. The chips are done in a dedicated fryer and they cooked the GF snacks (they also had GF frikandel) separately. It took a bit longer so allow some extra time, but better to be safe than sorry. The guy at the counter said there was also a salad option in the sandwich bar that was GF, though I didn’t try that since the weather was cold and so I fancied hot food. I have also read on a Dutch coeliac group that you can get GF pancakes in the pancake place, and on the website they also say that most of the restaurants and some of the snack bars can provide GF options, though I didn’t try these myself. In short, you can get away without having to take a picnic which is a pleasant surprise!
