Gluten free
A gluten-free restaurant in Calafell
Akquaaa is a restaurant right on the beach in Calafell with gluten-free options across the whole menu: rice dishes, coastal fish, grilled meats and cold plates. If you tell us when you book we prepare the service for coeliacs, and we have the allergen information for every dish available.
How we handle gluten-free dishes
The Akquaaa menu starts from produce: coastal fish, seafood, vegetables, rice and meat over the coals. A good part of the dishes contain no gluten to begin with, and others adapt by changing or removing one element.
What we ask is that you tell us when you book, not when you sit down. With notice we prepare the service: we separate the equipment, we warn the kitchen and we tell you exactly what you can order from that day's menu.
We are not an exclusively gluten-free restaurant and we are not going to say we are. We are a restaurant that takes people who cannot eat gluten seriously, which is a different thing and, for many people, enough.
What you can eat gluten free at Akquaaa
This is what people who tell us when booking can usually eat gluten free. The menu changes with the season, so confirm it with us for the day you are coming.

Do I have to give notice in advance?
Yes, when you make the booking. With notice the kitchen prepares the service and we can tell you exactly what you can order.
Are the rice dishes gluten free?
The rice dishes are; the seafood fideuà is not, because it contains wheat pasta.

Yes: Catalan cream with passion fruit and raspberries, fresh mató cheese with honey, sliced seasonal fruit and ice creams and sorbets.
