Gluten free restaurant Be Bop

Italy Gluten free Food Tour with Niepi: Milan

A gluten free restaurant in Milan, that is also lactose free and vegan? It’s Be Bop!

Be Bop is the first gluten free restaurant in Milan to propose a menu that is able to satisfy the needs of people with different food issues, and all this started … 15 years ago ! For Italy, this is really great.

During the Italy gluten free food tour that I organised for the French magazine Niepi, I went with Frédérique and Fabien to Be Bop for the first time.

The thing that I found really amazing here is the menu, so extensive! From entrées to main courses, from salads to pasta, crêpes, pizza, and dessert, everything is available in many flavours, all gluten free, but also lactose free and vegan.

Besides, all the allergens are clearly displayed on the first page of the menu as it should be everywhere. The Italian low asks for it.

I can say that we enjoyed everything we ate. I did love gluten free pasta in particular. I chose one of my favourite Summer recipe that calls for eggplants, tomato sauce, fresh basil and tons of ricotta cheese. So yummy!

For dessert, we went all vegans. The « budino » with chocolate and almond milk, shaped as a beautiful rose, was delicious. Same for the energy balls with coconut and almonds.

Be Bop is located in Via Col di Lana, in the lovely Navigli neighbourhood. The Navigli are interconnected canals that are full of nice café, bistrots and restaurants. They are perfect to go out in the evening, eat something and have a drink.
