14 food spots in Malta that offer delicious gluten-free options

Being gluten intolerant is a bit of a struggle, because the pesky thing is everywhere.

But if you're not in the mood to gamble, these restos have got you covered with their delish GF options, and the best bit is, they DON’T taste like cardboard!
