Slovakia benefits from strong EU allergen labeling laws and well-stocked supermarket free-from sections, making self-catering straightforward in cities. Bratislava offers a reasonable selection of GF-friendly restaurants, but awareness of cross-contamination drops sharply outside the capital. Traditional Slovak cuisine relies heavily on wheat flour — the beloved national dish bryndzové halušky is off-limits — so pack a Slovak-language celiac card and plan ahead for rural areas.
