Indigo at One Aldwych Review

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 […]

Gluten-Free on Eurostar (2019)

One of the most amazing things about visiting London is that not only is the city jam-packed with extraordinary things to do, see, and eat, but it’s a day tripper’s dream, with so many cool towns and cities only a few hours away by road or rail.  Inspired by binge watching the Anglo-French television drama The Tunnel and buoyed by a couple years of high school French (aided by Duolingo), I […]

Arba Review

As a gluten-free food blogger, this year has proven to be especially fruitful when it comes to extraordinary gluten-free dining experiences. From a week’s worth of swoon-worthy eats in the UK, to a DC restaurant debuts that have really impressed me (I’m looking at you Momo Yakitori and Flower Child), I am extraordinary thankful to the chefs and restaurant teams that continue to raise the bar when it comes to gluten-free […]

Nationals Park Gluten-Free Options and Review (2019)

As summer revs up here in DC with heat, humidity, and wicked afternoon storms making their presence known, one of the few saving graces of this time of year is plenty of opportunities to take in a baseball game at Nationals Park, arguably one of the best ballparks to take in America’s pastime.  I’m by no means a sports person, but I do try to make it out to the park […]

Flower Child Review

One thing I love about living in Washington, DC  is that our fast casual dining scene is always expanding. With each new restaurant that comes to the city, the bar is set ever higher for  culinary creativity at an accessible price point.  I was thrilled when I heard the health-conscious chain Flower Child would open in Foggy Bottom in February, but didn’t have a chance to stop by until now, […]

Hemsley + Hemsley Cafe at Selfridges Review

Now I’m not much of a shopper, but when I was planning my trip to London, I knew I wanted to pay a visit to Selfridges, the storied department store that is the second-largest shop in the UK and whose Oxford Street doors have been welcoming customers for over 100 years.  While part of my visit was motivated by seeing the spectacle of Selfridges, I was also motivated by the lure […]

Pho Review (UK)

On my final night in London, I knew I wanted to lay low and have a low-key night after nonstop sightseeing for a full week. With an late afternoon flight back home to DC the next day, I wanted to use the evening to pack and get situated to make sure my travel to London Heathrow Airport went as smoothly and stress-free as possible. In looking for soothing, safe places to […]

Leggero Review

For gluten-free diners, dedicated gluten-free Italian restaurants are the closest thing we have to the iconic “candy room” scene in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. You mean everything on the menu is safe? Even the pasta and bread? Absolutely. Therefore, any opportunity to visit such a restaurant makes me want to burst out in spontaneous song.  In doing my pre-trip homework on eateries I wanted to dine at in […]

Indikitch Review

During my visit to New York City last month, I was excited that I had a several evenings to search for new food options after the workday was over.  One such discovery was Indikitch, a New York City-based chain that spices up the fast casual assembly line model with Indian flavors and flair.  I am a huge fan of Indian food and have been adding more and more Indian flavors […]

Leon Review (USA)

For my gluten-free, dairy-free review of Leon in the United Kingdom, click here. Eating gluten-free has definitely gotten easier over the years, especially as I live in Washington DC with lots of fast casual and full service restaurant options for gluten-free dining. If there’s one category of restaurant I miss though, it’s fast food.  Yeah, it has a bad rap for not being healthy in the least (and very gluten-heavy), but […]
