Enjoy gluten-free
at the Gellnwirt

Eat safely. Stay relaxed. Truly enjoy. Eating out gluten-free should not be stressful. At the Gellnwirt, gluten-free is not an extra – it is everyday practice. Because Verena lives with coeliac disease herself and knows exactly what matters.

Hi, I'm Verena.

“Mum, lover of good food, sourdough lover – and I live with coeliac disease. I know how quickly you lose confidence when eating out. That's exactly why it was important to us to create a place where gluten-free isn't complicated – but a matter of course.”

When you live gluten-free, you have to explain a lot. NOT WITH US.

We know how exhausting uncertainty about food can be. The cautious questions. The constant thinking ahead. The little “I hope this really is okay”. That's exactly why we have learned to do gluten-free consciously and safely – so that you can simply go out to eat with peace of mind.

Eating gluten-free means more than “without flour”.
It means:

  • Being able to trust
  • Being free to ask
  • Not having to explain yourself
  • And above all: enjoying without fear

That's exactly what we understand. Not from a textbook – but from real life. Verena knows how it feels: uncertainty when ordering. Doubts in and about the kitchen. That little “I hope this really is okay”. And that's exactly why we do it differently.

Our promise: gluten-free is safe with us

When “gluten-free please” is on the order ticket with us, a clear process runs in the kitchen: dedicated equipment, separate preparation and full attention. Calm. Practised. Without any fuss.

Our gluten-free standard:

  • dedicated gluten-free deep fryer & air fryer
  • separate pans, knives & cooking utensils
  • clear kitchen processes to prevent contamination
  • a trained team with genuine understanding

When “gluten-free” is on the order ticket with us, the kitchen deliberately shifts down to 100% focus. Not hectic. Not complicated. But practised and honest.

Gluten-free breakfast, dining & indulgence

With us, gluten-free accompanies you throughout the whole day:

Breakfast

  • gluten-free rolls, bread rolls & baguette
  • crispbread & individual requests
  • Cake? → Just ask Verena

Inn cuisine

  • many dishes naturally gluten-free
  • or deliberately adapted for you
  • no tricks, no compromise on flavour

Sweet & special

  • home-made desserts
  • gluten-free specials again and again

And very importantly: we don't offer every dish on the menu with gluten-free alternatives. We also know that not everything needs it, so we have a motto: what we do, we do properly.

An inn that takes you seriously

We know the feeling: you just want to go out to eat. Without making a big thing of it, without being the “awkward exception” again (although, we think, you're allowed to be the awkward exception too). That's exactly what we make possible for you. Just tell us: “Gluten-free for me, please.” And we'll take care of it. No complicated conversations. No uncertainty. No risk. Enjoy gluten-free now. Reserve your table – and finally eat with peace of mind again.

Your safe place in the Lungau

The Gellnwirt is one of the few places in the Salzburg Lungau where gluten-free is not just “possible”, but truly thought through. An inn where:

  • you don't have to explain yourself
  • you are understood
  • you can indulge
  • and where you know that someone knows what that means

Just as it should be. Fancy a gluten-free indulgence holiday?

Naturally,
gluten-free &
home-made

Fermenting is more than a trend for Verena – it is craft, feeling and daily attention. Whether her home-brewed kombucha or her gluten-free sourdough breads: here it's about time, calm and the right instinct.

Naturally gluten-free. Made with time. And accompanied with a great deal of love.

This shows especially in gluten-free baking. Verena bakes her sourdough breads herself – with a lot of patience, a lot of dedication and the knowledge that there is no “quick quick”. The dough is nurtured, cared for, understood. The result? A gluten-free bread that surprises: moist, aromatic and so close to classic farmhouse bread that you wouldn't suspect any difference.
