Almost all people in the Netherlands speak English but if you’re worried about the language barrier, then make sure to take a Dutch Gluten Free Restaurant Card to make gluten free travel easier. I always recommend taking gluten free translation cards with you on your trip if you’re traveling with Celiac Disease. Down below you can also find some Dutch basics. The Dutch Coeliac Society is called Nederlandse Coeliake Vereniging – NCV.
