Özet:

 Purpose: Factors such as the products offered in the restaurant, service quality, location, and visual appeal all play a role in peoples restaurant preferences. In addition, many personal factors such as peoples health status, beliefs, and cultures become increasingly important in restaurant selection. In this direction, businesses can offer their customers special nutritional options such as gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian. The aim of this study is to reveal the current state of restaurants in terms of gluten-free nutrition, one of the special nutritional options. Method: With the qualitative research approach, a total of 85 restaurants in five different cities Athens, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul, Seoul, and Venice that are included in the Michelin Guide and have a gluten-free diet option on the Tripadvisor site were examined. In the research, the information and menus of the restaurants in these cities on Tripadvisor and their websites were examined, and the data were analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques. Findings: As a result of the research, it was determined that a significant part of the restaurants included in the study offered gluten-free options and that gluten-free products were found in a variety of cuisines. However, there were serious deficiencies in the menus, such as the lack of labeling for gluten-free products and allergen warnings. Discussion: The fact that the research results do not show significant differences between cities reveals that the problems regarding gluten-free options in restaurant menus are generalizable.

 Amaç: İnsanların restoran tercihlerinde restoranda sunulan ürünler, hizmet kalitesi, lokasyon ve görsel çekicilik gibi unsurlar etkili olmaktadır. Bunun yanında insanların sağlık durumları, inançları ve kültürleri gibi kişisel pek çok unsur restoran seçiminde önem kazanmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda işletmeler müşterilerine glütensiz, vegan ve vejataryen gibi özel beslenme seçenekleri sunabilmektedir. Yapılan bu çalışmanın amacı özel beslenme seçeneklerinden olan glütensiz beslenme kapsamında restoranların mevcut durumunu ortaya koymaktır. Yöntem: Nitel araştırma yaklaşımı ile Michelin Rehberinde yer alan ve Tripadvisor sitesinde glütensiz beslenme seçeneği mevcut olan beş farklı şehirdeki toplam 85 restoran incelenmiştir. Araştırmada Atina, Abu Dabi, İstanbul, Seul ve Venedikte bulunan restoranların Tripadvisorda ve internet sitelerinde yer alan bilgileri ve menüleri incelenmiş, veriler betimsel analiz tekniği ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırma sonucunda araştırmaya dahil edilen restoranların önemli bir kısmının glütensiz seçeneklere yer verdikleri ve glütensiz ürünlerin farklı mutfak türlerinde yer bulduğu ancak menülerinde glütensiz ürünleri etiketleme ve alerjen uyarıları gibi konularda ciddi eksikliklerin bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Tartışma: Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçların farklı şehirler kapsamında önemli farklılıklar göstermemesi restoran menülerinde glütensiz seçeneklere yönelik sorunların genellenebilir nitelikte olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
