La Tasca

I planned to go out with friends bank holiday Monday and of course the usual 'where to eat?' questions buzzed around my head. I have a few restaurants I frequent as I know I can get gluten free food there without much fuss.

I met with friends who had waited at the bar in La Tasca. I got a little nervous as I assumed I wouldn't be able to eat much there. I really don't like being awkward and tapas seemed out of the question... far too many dishes to worry about when in some places one gluten free dish is hard enough.

My partner grabbed a menu for me so I could decide whether it was 'safe'. To my surprise the menu was clearly marked with what was gluten free... there was even a gluten free platter option!

We were seated at our table and I had a better look at the menu. There was so much choice! Not just the normal menu with non-gluten free bits taken out.

I had such a lovely evening, no fuss, no separate menus or having to be served by the manager like I'm some kind of abnormal person. No special arrangements.

The food arrived and the smell was amazing! Dish after gorgeous gluten free dish was brought out and I very much enjoyed every one of them. I didn't have it but they also had a gluten free beer on the menu!

I was so impressed with the food, service and atmosphere at La Tasca. I recommend it to all those gluten free people out there and everyone else too! Vegetarian options were also clearly marked.

Its so nice to have an excellent gluten free restaurant experience :) I wish I had taken pitctures!
