Talk about joie de vivre!
Every gluten free eater--whether they are new to the gluten free way of life or have been following a gluten free diet for years--has experienced the challenges of this dietary restriction at one time or another. It can be hard enough to source appropriate products from our local grocery stores, let alone try to find something appropriate on a restaurant menu. For years, unless we specifically chose to patronize health-conscious restaurants, it was either next to impossible to order a meal guaranteed to be gluten free or the options offered were so bland and unappealing that eating out lost its appeal.
Fortunately, things have gotten easier and easier for gluten free diners with every passing year. As awareness of gluten sensitivity has spread, so too have the options available to those of us who need to avoid gluten. The only thing that I have been completely unable to find is decadent, French-style pastries... Until now!
Not only is this the most impressive gluten free business I have ever been to in 25 years, with an incredible selection of sweets as well as gourmet food - the service was incredible and caring. They made my day. While on the patio enjoying my grilled sandwich I convinced others to come inside : )
So glad we discovered this place!! It was absolutely loaded with gluten free pastries and they have a large selection of lunch/dinner items and sandwiches. Everything we tried (cream eclair, gingerbread cookie, Nanaimo bar, lasagna, pizza, chocolate tart, lemon meringue tart) was wonderful.
We brought home a tourtiere and a huge box of pastries for New Year's Eve.
Service was quick and so friendly. This will be a regular stop when we're in Canada.
