I have lived in Vienna the last six months and recommend trying a shop called "DM" for gluten free as well as "Merkur" (especially if in Vienna - the huge on on Mariahilferstrasse has a massive range). Merkur is variable in how much GF it has but every DM (a chain of healthfood/chemists) I have been in both here and in Germany has had a good range of gluten free. Also, if you are looking for Gluten free austrian food you can't go past the steltze - giant fried pork knuckle. It is not health food by any means but it is basically roast pork (with awesome crackling). It is usually eaten just with fresh horseradish, mustard and sauerkraut which are generally GF.

It was really helpful for my Germany (Munich, Augsburg, and area) trip. I loved Sacher too! Now I want to travel Italy and buy the whole collection of Schaer and try them all! I didnt buy much of the bread, or beer. Instead I focused on the sweet snacks. Schaer's Hazlenut flavour wafer is my favourite! I'm glad that I can find Schaer's Magdalenas back home in Hong Kong. =) I posted further review / gluten-free info of my trip in the link below: http://rainyrice.blogspot.com/search/label/Germany Thanks for the great post!

Look out for the signs "Bio-Supermarket" (organic supermarket), "Bioladen" or "Naturkostladen", all indicating organic shops of various sizes ("bio" is German for "organic" or "wholefoods"). I hope this helps any future traveller! :-) I just wanted to add, for anyone else travelling to my wonderful home country and needing to be gluten-free, that apart from the “Reformhaus”, Germany also have a number of organic shops and supermarkets that are well-stocked with gluten-free products.

I am now trying to find how to order 3 Pauly products here as I'm sitting here eating the remains for the Sesam Krackers I brought back. I didn't find the health food store until my second week there. I mostly ate a lot of fruit for breakfast, as we had free breakfast at a bakery (and there are bakeries on nearly every corner). But, Germans eat a lot of meet and veggies, and the waiters and chefs were very accommodating and helpful when I showed them my gluten free card. I truly did not have a problem with gluten free there. It was a wonderful trip. I just got back from 2 weeks in Germany (Straubing) with my husband, who was working.

I am visiting a town near Vienna called Heilegenkreutz where there is a monasery that has a restaurant. I went tonight for dessert, and I handed the server a card I had downloaded off another website that explains gluten in German. He took the card to the kitchen and came back with 2 suggestions: ice cream, and something very local called Kastanienreis. According to Google Translator it means Chestnuts Rice. It looks like it comes out of a Play-Doh Fun Factory, but I'm SO glad I tried it!!! The first bite felt/tasted doughy, so it scared me and grossed me out. But then it really grew on me, and I felt like I could really try something Austrian. Way cool. Thank you for what you do here.
