Gut Friendly Getaways

13/06/2026

We’ve just returned from a fantastic NCL cruise, and after disembarking we spent two nights in Barcelona at the gorgeous Torre Melina Hotel, here’s what we thought of it…

Tucked away in the peaceful Pedralbes area, Torre Melina feels like a little oasis just outside the busy city centre. Amazing gardens, fantastic pool, and a resort‑style vibe while still being only a short ride from all the main sights. It was the perfect place to unwind after the cruise.

From the moment we arrived, the staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. But the best thing…We loved the Breakfast! Honestly, it was so good for anyone with or without dietary needs.

🥐 A dedicated gluten‑free section that was separated away from anything else and clearly labelled as gluten free
🍓 Loads of fresh fruit
🧀 Plenty of meats and cheeses
🥛 Alternative milks: lactose free, almond milk, soya milk, all clearly labelled
🍳 A big mix of hot and cold dishes, all well labelled

Everything felt relaxed, safe, and genuinely thought‑through, we had great conversations with the staff who genuinely get cross contamination, no stress, just good food and helpful staff who understood what we needed.

Torre Melina is definitely a Gut Friendly Stay we’re happy to recommend, especially if you want somewhere calm, stylish, and friendly whilst exploring Barcelona. 5 Gut Friendly 💛’s from us!

Flying from Barcelona Airport? Burger King is the place to head to! ✨

I’ve got an awful cold and knew I needed to eat before the long journey home. I don’t usually go for fast food, but when you’re feeling rubbish and a craving hits… I just had to go with it and there was so much choice.

This gluten‑free Burger King filled me with so much joy!

They made it separately, served it separately, and even handed it over in its own safe bag with a little “this one’s your gluten‑free one” moment.
Exactly the reassurance you need when travelling as a coeliac. Especially as they are working in collaboration with the Spanish Celiac Association (FACE) 💛

Simple, comforting, and exactly what my meh little self needed 💛✈️

Remember to always check about cross contamination and don’t be afraid to ask questions to ensure you feel safe when eating out, even if it says it’s gluten free.

We’ve got so much to catch up on and so many great travel tips to share with you from our NCL cruise and stays in Lisbon and Barcelona, but some of it will have to wait until the cold passes!

We’ve also got some exciting news coming about a website update and deep links to one very exciting travel platform coming up, we’re super excited to share it with you soon! Watch this space! 👀🤭

The Globe has officially opened its doors and it’s going to be a standout stay for anyone who loves great food, cosy rooms, and genuinely thoughtful hospitality. Set in a beautifully restored building with all the charm you’d expect from Brunning & Price, The Globe brings together characterful dining spaces, a menu full of seasonal dishes, and stylish rooms designed for relaxed, comfortable stays.

But what makes this opening even more exciting for our you all is this:
💛 The Globe, as with all Brunning & Pice property’s is accredited by Coeliac UK.

That means coeliac diners can enjoy the full Brunning & Price experience with confidence, from safe processes, trained teams, and clear allergen management that underpin’s every plate they serve. From hearty pub classics to lighter seasonal dishes, their kitchen team works to ensure coeliac guests can dine without worry.

Whether you’re planning a weekend away, a celebratory meal, or a spontaneous lunch, The Globe offers the perfect blend of atmosphere, comfort, and coeliac‑safe dining.

Three Reasons We Love It

💛 Coeliac UK Accreditation: This isn’t just a badge, it’s a commitment. Their teams follow strict, verified processes to keep coeliac diners safe, from ingredient sourcing to kitchen practice to staff training.
💛 Clear Allergen Support: The Globe’s menu is built with transparency in mind. Their allergen information is easy to access, their staff are knowledgeable, and they take dietary needs seriously, no guesswork, no awkwardness, no “we’ll see what we can do”.
💛 A Menu You Can Trust and Enjot: With seasonal dishes, pub favourites, and thoughtful adaptations, coeliac guests can enjoy a proper meal out. Safe options are woven into the dining experience.

If you’re planning your next gut friendly getaway, this one deserves a spot on your list.

If you’re heading to Lisbon, is a must visit! Multiple times if you can! 🤣

We had the BEST gluten free Pastel de Nata I’ve ever tried and everything else on the menu that we tried was delicious too! We could have bought one of everything! The Pastel de Nata were so good we went back for seconds!

What we tried:
Pastel de Nata, obviously! The pastry was so buttery and flakey and the custard filling was still warm and tasted amazing!

Pao Com Chorizo. A bread roll stuffed with the tenderest chorizo I’ve ever had 🤤

Empada Vegetais. The pastry was just melt in your mouth delicious and the filling was unreal! How they’ve packed so much flavour into a vegetable empada I do not know!

Tartelete Lemon Curd. Buttery sweet pastry with tangy lemon curd and sweet sticky meringue! We went for a mini one but so wish we’d gone large!

We took away:
Chocolate Croissant - buttery pastry layers filled with chocolatey yumminess!
Cinnamon Roll! The best Cinnamon roll I’ve ever had with the smoothest cream cheese topping! Just yum!

As it says on the door… gluten free paradise! It certainly is that! Five star hearts from us! 💛💛💛💛💛

Oh my days!
Full blog to come on our “24 hours in Lisbon”, ahead of our cruise, but had to share these little beauties asap!
We had pastel de nata at the deli (amongst other amazing dishes) and bought the chocolate croissant and cinnamon roll for a mid morning snack tomorrow but we couldn’t resist them for pudding tonight! Just amazing! Rice Me Deli is a must when in Lisbon. We went to a couple of other places and this was, hands down, the best! 💛💛
