For those who still enjoy dining out in style

If you’re travelling through Germany the number one place you have to go is Berlin! It’s an amazingly vibrant city with many different faces. Every district has a different feel, I’ve been living in Berlin for 6 years and I’m always able to find something new. Many places around the city can cater to people with celiac disease.

If you are in downtown Toronto and need a snack or a meal, this is the place. We live just north of Toronto, and to avoid rush hour and to run a few errands, we decide to go in the p.m. and have supper somewhere. I did a lot of web research, and found a small cafe that was in the market area of downtown. A review said it was totally GF and vegan. Continue Reading »

When a funky little café opened up at the end of a friend's street, we just had to check it out. How convenient! On our first visit, they weren't yet set up for credit cards and had nothing you could call gluten-free. After negotiating a breakfast without toast and explaining everything very carefully, I thought I'd never go back. But then I realised that here was an opportunity to shape my local. My most recent visit there was delightful. Continue Reading »

If you’re flat out visiting Barcelona, you might like to grab a quick bite at Conesa, a traditional sandwich shop in the centre of the old town. They serve up hot baguette-rolls with tasty Spanish fillings to a steady queue of tourists and locals. Ninety-five percent of the sandwich menu is available gluten-free (fillings with gluten are marked) and you just have to ask for “sin gluten”. Continue Reading »

It’s getting cold outside but this Mexican restaurant at the Paris end of Collins makes you feel like you’re in the middle of summer. We ducked in for lunch and found good seats at the bar. The music and atmosphere were light and just right, the sangria was tasty and best of all, the whole menu was gluten-free. Stand-outs included the Tostaditas de Carnitas (bite-sized melt-in-your-mouth slow-braised pork shoulder with pickles and jalapeño) and the beef taco (my companion couldn’t stop murmuring in delight about the caramelised onions).

I’m a bit late to the party on this one, which is even more embarrassing because I know the owner through a friend. I knew he was planning to start a café… I just had no idea it was the famous café everyone’s been talking about that I hadn’t made it to due to parenthood. Anyhow, the mutual friend was visiting from New York and suggested Auction Rooms as the obvious meet-up spot. Andrew Kelly, the owner, joined us to say hi. The menu isn’t the most gluten-free-friendly thing on the planet at first glance, but looks can be deceiving. Continue Reading »

It’s not often I’m invited to a 40th birthday banquet at a fancy restaurant and actually get to eat almost everything on the set menu. I don’t actually know what the menu at Thanh Binh looks like (the online version does not show GF options) but when I mentioned to the helpful waitstaff that my daughter and I both needed gluten- and dairy-free food, I was instantly reassured it wouldn’t be a problem. Many delicious courses later, my taste buds were delighted and my belly was happy. Continue Reading »

Movida is a Melbourne icon, serving up tapas and raciones to a hungry crowd. I’ve spent many an evening hugging the bar (it’s hard to get a table without a booking), nursing a tempranillo and devouring my favourite goat special with its complex, rich flavours and introducing everyone I can to the glory of the portobello mushrooms oven-roasted with sherry. It’s also a favourite haunt for lunch and I’m now updating this post to include Movida Aqui, the new, more business-like lunch spot at the other end of town. Both restaurants have — wait for it — a separate menu for gluten- and dairy-free dishes, clearly marked GF and DF as needed. Continue Reading »

I’ve just started a new job in the City so it’s time to start poking around for lunch time spots. I’m not too far from Hardware Lane, so I wandered down there and discovered a crêperie that advertises "gluten-free, lactose-free and vegan available on request". I have to say that French crêpes cooked on the side of the road with a little jambon and an egg broken over them have been a favourite of mine since I was an exchange student in Paris too many years ago to mention. So I went in and asked whether it was possible to get gluten-free and dairy-free all in the one crêpe… Continue Reading »

Most gluten-intolerant diners are thrilled if they can find a good café with GF options marked on the menu. The idea of completely gluten-free restaurant that caters for allergy sufferers is almost too good to be true. Yet nestled in the trendy Westgarth strip in Melbourne is just such a paradise.
