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 […]
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Especially during a summer heatwave, there’s no better way to cool off than with ice cream or a milkshake. Unfortunately, the fact that it is traditionally dairy-based and chock full of other allergens means that too often those of us with dietary restrictions are left out from enjoying this simple treat. Luckily, there’s a little shop in London that is […]
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 […]
As I was researching gluten and dairy-free eats to make a list of not-to-be-missed places in London, the majority of my leads came from Instagram, where over the course of planning two holidays I’ve followed quite a few London and UK-based bloggers and companies. One such small business is Borough 22, whose eye-catching array of gluten-free and vegan doughnuts had me dreaming of them from across the pond. I definitely […]
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 […]
When I decided to book a second holiday to London this year and locked in my end-of-July timeframe, one of the top points on my itinerary was a tour of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace. Only open during the summer and select dates throughout the year, I was excited to get a glimpse behind the elaborate gates to see a palace steeped in history, but is also a modern, working […]
In planning my second trip to London, I knew I wanted to visit in July because it meant I could experience two things I couldn’t when I visited this past February: a tour of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace and explore London’s bustling street market scene. Whenever I plan trips to other cities, I like following gluten-free bloggers who live there to get an insider’s look at the best things […]
As soon as I knew I was making a return trip to London, I was excited for another opportunity to enjoy a gluten-free afternoon tea. On my first visit back in February, I had a swoon-worthy experience at Claridge’s in Mayfair (see my review) that introduced me to the treasured tradition of afternoon tea and made for one of my most memorable experiences during the trip. After researching several establishments […]
During my holiday abroad to London back in February, I soaked in every sight and sound of the city, as it was my first trip abroad. While the historic buildings, incredible museums, and London’s general buzz were memorable, a large part of how I explored and experienced the city was through the variety of foods and dining experiences I had, spanning humble fast-casual fare to a lavish, unforgettable high tea. Of […]
While on holiday in London back in February, I couldn’t help but notice Hotel Chocolat stores almost everywhere I went. This British chocolatier and cocoa grower is the only company in the UK that grows cocoa on its own plantation, and it’s stores are filled with a myriad of fun and tempting treats. Unfortunately, most of the chocolate creations made by Hotel Chocolat have a warning that they may contain wheat so they […]
