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.

Eating out in London


Tortoise and Hare on High Street Kensington, has become one of my favorite restaurants.
I can get Chicken Fried Rice with no soy sauce. it comes with miso soup but the chef holds that out, says it has gluten in it. I didn't know this. I have been eating miso soup.

I see on their website, there are several other locations and they are open 7 days a week.

Eating out in London


Today while touring London, we stopped at The Tower of London and London Bridge.
We stopped in at Wagamama Restaurant near by.
They had a list of what I could eat that had no gluten in it.
I got rice noodles with veggies.
It needed seasoning, but I was thrilled.
My understanding is Wagamama is all around London.

Eating out in London


Coco Momo in Kensington area!
I ordered chicken sandwhich, hold the bread. I was assured the chicken was plain and gluten free.
It was chicken, chorizo and rocket. Basically, saled with chicken.
The french fries were rosemary, garlic and salt.
All very good.

Eating out in London


Last night I road the Tube to Canary Wharf to meet my husband. We are looking for an apartment in this area to live in while he is on this project. We found a great restaurant called Nakhon Thi Restaurant and Bar on 45th West Ferry Rd.

I ordered vegitables and chicken with rice and asked them to hold the soy sauce. They were happy to do this. It was so deligious. This will be one of my favorite places to eat in this area.

Eating out in London


I found a grocery store in East London, Waitrose. Found tons of gluten free products.
Still with no kitchen, living out of a hotel, I had to watch what i purchased.
I share with you these products realizing they are made in France and some in England. But you might be able to order them.
So far, everything is delicious.
