Zizzi Restaurant, Victoria Street, London


Zizzi is a chain of traditional Italian pizza and pasta restaurants that cook all their pizzas in wood burning ovens. Each time I eat there they fix me wonderful g-free chicken and vegies. But tonight, I brought in my own pizza crust and they fixed it for me. It was so good. The didn't charge me for the entire price of the pizza.
Then to add to that, the waiter told me they just got in pasta! He said you can order any dish off the menu and they will use the g-free pasta!
This is big news. Way to go Zizi!!

The Quilon Restaurant & Bar


This restaurant at 51 Buckingham Gate, London is incredible. I told the waiter i needed a Gluten free meal and it was not a problem.For starter he brought me Pepper shrimps (batter fried shrimps cooked in a fiery masala) and Mini -masala dosa (thin rice and lentil pancake filed with tempered potatoes, served with sambhar)Fluffy steamed rice, Lemon rice, Appam (a delicious soft centred, lace edged rice pancake), Potato and cauliflower with fresh fenugreek leaves (potato and cauliflower florets cooked with onion, tomato and roasted spices, Coconut with asparagus and mange tout (sauteed with mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chillies and grated coconut) and finally Roasted Fish in plantain leaf (marinated tilapia fillet wrapped in banana leaves and roasted)
I give you all this so you can go in and know exactly what to order but then again, they are totally aware of Gluten and it isn't a problem.
