Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
In exploring around London, I marvel at the sheer variety and abundance of gluten-free options on offer. I don’t think I could ever run out of restaurants and cafes to try, and it’s truly the most gluten-free friendly city I’ve visited in all my travels. On my last night on holiday, I made reservations at Indigo at One Aldwych, a completely gluten and dairy-free restaurant that serves up fare inspired by […]
If I’m being honest (pun intended), my standards for dining out at a burger restaurant are pretty high. Not only do I look for gluten-free and allergen-awareness, my decision to dine out at such a restaurant is contingent on two important factors: do they have gluten-free buns (as assessed from others’ reviews) and do they have a dedicated fryer? After all, what fun is it to go out and eat burgers […]
I’m not entirely sure whether being gluten-free has made me a foodie (by being hyperaware of what I eat), or if I was a foodie who developed a gluten-intolerance. Either way, if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that food is a central part of how I explore and experience the world. In fact, when building my London itinerary, I made sure to prioritize not only the sights I wanted to […]
When I knew I was planning my visit to London last month, I tried to tailor my itinerary so I was avoiding many major tourist attractions. Crowds and queueing are just not my thing and I much prefer to experience a destination by getting off the beaten path. However, as I was planning my trip, I knew I would make one big exemption to my rule: visiting the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in […]
Of course I couldn’t travel thousands of miles to the UK without seeking out one of Britain’s most iconic food pairings: fish and chips. After crowdsourcing recommendations for the best gluten-free fish and chips eateries via social media, Oliver’s Fish & Chips in Belsize Park quickly made my short list of restaurants to visit. Not only do they have an abundance of gluten-free options, but they dedicate each and every […]
After my initial visit to Diagon Alley and success with finding gluten-free and dairy-free options at the Leaky Cauldron for lunch, I knew I had to go back once I discovered that the signature restaurant serves up breakfast- including gluten-free pancakes. As it happens, gluten-free pancakes are one of my favorite breakfast foods. However, I didn’t get my hopes up right away as I knew that dairy could easily spoil the […]
Stopping by the Three Broomsticks on my way from London’s Diagon Alley to Hogsmeade village and Hogwarts, I knew I had to stop by the Three Broomsticks for a bit of refreshment after the long train ride. For those of you you who have no clue what I’m talking about, stick with me. The Three Broomsticks is a restaurant/pub featured in Harry Potter’s Wizarding World that was brought to life […]
Having previously stopped for lunch at Diagon Alley’s Leaky Cauldron, I knew that one of the top spots on my “to-do” list for future visits was a meal at the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade, the little village nearby Hogwarts that (in the muggle world) is located in Universal’s Islands of Adventure park. I have eaten a meal at the Three Broomsticks once before as a gluten/dairy eater and have stopped […]
When it (magically) appeared at our table, the runner announced my meal as the “allergy” chicken sandwich. I liked that they did this as double confirmation that my meal was prepared separately. I initially thought I had received salmon on my sandwich due to the dining room’s diminished lighting, but realized that the chicken was just thinly sliced and grilled. The bun appeared to be an Udi’s bun, but I cannot say […]
