Ask your waiter if you are unsure, I know many people here in Austria who live gluten-free and they manage fine.
I imagine many celiacs in Austria do just fine but with only a few days and unable to travel cross town to shop I am a little limited.
Are the new EU laws mark the allergen as wheat or as gluten?
in the US products are marked with allergen wheat but not regularly as gluten.
