Gluten free eating out

Last night was dinner and movie night and the gluten free options were many. Hurrah!

The Philosopher and I ended up at Grill'd on Chapel St, which we'd heard rave reviews of. I called beforehand and made sure they were gluten free (minus bun of course) and double checked that when I went in. They had a list readily available so they could definately tell me what was what. Their meat patty? gluten free! Their fries? Gluten free! And guess what? This place is totally fantastically awesome. If you love burgers you'll love this place. The Philosopher also had no bun with his and actually thought that having a bun would detract from the flavour of the burger by muting it all. The chips had a wonderful herb sprinkle (GF!!) and were perfectly cooked.
Best of all? Not a single strange look for asking if things were gluten free and having a bunless burger was equally acceptable. Perhaps we have no-carb diets to think for that though.

Then it was to the Pancake Parlour to meet everyone. The Pancake Parlour are great for people with allergies, though you wouldn't expect it. You can get any of their pancakes made with buckwheat flour (GF!) instead and even also made with soy milk if you can't do dairy. Their meals are alright. Their organic vanilla icecream is orgasmic, just remember to ask for no waffle garnish.
The one question I always must ask there? How can you have something called a Swiss Mountain Malt without malt? Wouldn't that just be a Swiss Mountain? The item description does clearly state that it is available with or without the malt.

Village Cinemas. I never thought I'd be recommending a candy bar for GF! But lining up for a drink, there it was! Big as life and brightly lit.... a sign for 100% gluten free! Village now has Snakatas (made of corn, though they do contain MSG) which are labelled as gluten free and GF muesli bars. Huzzah!

Going out has never been so easy.
