Name: Eggless dessert café

Where: 162A Goodwood Road, Goodwood SA 5034 (08) 8272 0777

 http://eggless.com.au/

Describe the restaurant: If you love sweets you should definitely give this place a try as Eggless is not your typical dessert cafe. Their menu caters for vegans and coeliac’s – but don’t let the word vegan fool you into thinking the food is healthy or bland.  As well as the main menu they also have a list of traditional Asian desserts that are gluten free and vegan also. The menu changes  each month so you won’t be stuck eating the same thing over and over again and it’s a nice excuse to keep going back. Eggless only open from 8pm onwards therefore it is a ideal place for dessert after a meal elsewhere or for a date night! Bookings are essential for a group of 6 or more but for less than 6 they don’t take bookings so be prepared to wait.

Your experience: We love everything about Eggless and it is great to go to a place where you can order straight off the menu and not question the ingredients and whether the dish can be made gluten free. Eggless is cosy and small therefore be aware you might be quite close to other tables which is a small issue  if you want some privacy. Other than that we can’t fault the menu or the atmosphere. Must try:  Asian desserts such as Black Sticky Rice with sundae (GF & V) and Bubor Cha Cha (traditional Malaysian desert with coconut milk – V & GF).

Name: Crema on Jetty Rd

Where:10 Jetty Road, Glenelg, 08 8294 1431

Describe the restaurant: This is the only cafe in Glenelg that has their own gluten free menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We love this place for a lazy Sunday breakfast. They use gluten free bread for toast on the breakfast menu plus have gluten free sandwiches available for lunch. Crema also have gluten free pasta and pizzas so it is a great place for a quick and cheap meal when your are down the Bay.

Your experience: We always have wonderful meals at Crema, I have their gluten free pasta Granchio (crab meat with a rose sauce) each time I am there and it is fabulous.  They also serve gluten free beers which makes it a great place to dine down the bay with friends without coeliacs missing out on all the fun. Crema can get quite busy  on the weekend so bookings are essential.

Name: Assaggio Ristorante

Where: 92-94 King William Road, Hyde Park SA (08) 8272 4748

http://hydepark.assaggio.com.au/

Describe the restaurant: AMAZING!!! This restaurant is one of the best in town. The food, service, decor, wine and desserts all are amazing. If you want awesome food and to be looked after, Assaggio is the must try place. My partner and I have been there on many occasions for the past 3 years -  our first date, anniversaries, birthdays and not one time we left the restaurant feeling unsatisfied.

Your experience: Assaggio’s sets the standard for other restaurants catering for coeliac sufferers as the restaurant has their own gluten free menu. They even have a special gluten free bread roll with separate balsamic and olive oil dipping bowl so coeliacs do not have to miss out at all. They have a extensive list of pasta dishes for coelicas to choose from also – fusilli, spiralli, macaroncini and gnocchi, giving coeliacs variety which is often a problem when dining out. This is why Assaggio is the best gluten free restaurant as most restaurants or cafes may advertise themselves as catering for coeliacs but none can offer a pasta dish like Assaggio.

Must Try: Spiralli Allo Zafferano E Polpa Di Granchio (spiralli with South Australian Blue Swimmer Crab and roasted tomato and shellfish sauce)

Must Try:Vitello ‘Sciue, Sciue’ Con Frutti Di Mare (Char grilled slices of veal dressed with prawns, scallops & shellfish braise with tomato and basil sugo). This dish is unreal especially when you can mop up the juices and eat with the gluten free bread.

Must Try:  You should definitely try their Tartufo Bianco for dessert – this has a special kick to it!

Name: Yakitori Takumi

Where: Shop 60, 55 Melbourne Street North Adelaide 5006, Ph. (08) 8239 2111,

http://www.yakitori-takumi.com/restaurant.html

Describe the restaurant: Japanese cuisine specialising in Yakitori. (Like Japanese Tapas or char grilled skewered meats/seafood). Best experience and is a great place to dine with friends and family. Bookings are highly recommended.

Your experience: They do not have a Gluten Free menu but can change most of their meals to Gluten Free. (For this restaurant this means they have special seasoning to replace the sauce). They have other dishes such as rice with sashimi, battered oysters, tempura and the must try – green tea infused broth served with rice and minced chicken.

Name: Kenji Modern Japanese

Where: 5/242 Hutt Street Adelaide SA 5000, Ph. (08) 8232 0944

Describe the restaurant: This is, without doubt, the best high end Japanese restaurant to dine at in Adelaide. This restaurant not only serves your typical sushi, sashimi, tempura but their main courses have a modern touch to them. Great decor and ambience.

Your experience: Great food and service.  They do not have a Gluten Free menu but can make most of the dishes into Gluten Free. Keith and I have dined at Kenji a number of times and have no problem finding Gluten Free meals and have enjoyed it each time. You can’t find any fault at this restaurant.

Name: Vietnam Sunrise

Where: Shop 2/285 Henley Beach Road, Brooklyn Park SA 5032, Ph. (08 8234 8808

http://www.vietnamsunrise.com.au/

Describe the restaurant: The restaurant was packed however on the night we visited they were short on staff. Therefore, we didn’t really have any service from the waiters. Excellent choices on the menu and have many traditional Vietnamese dishes.

Your experience: They can do Gluten Free meals but the waiter did not appear to know too much. You will need to be specific when you order your meals (i.e. make sure they use rice flour for the salt & pepper squid), however, like most Vietnamese food most of them are Gluten Free already.

Name: T-Chow

Where: 68 Moonta Street Adelaide SA 5000, Ph. (08) 8410 1413

Describe the restaurant: It is a very bustling Chinese restaurant and bookings are essential on Friday nights and weekends as they are always busy and booked out. It is your typical Chinese restaurant –  not high end but the food is great.

Your experience: – Enjoyable, they do not have a Gluten Free menu as such but, if you inform the waiter they can change some of their dishes to be Gluten Free.  Must order – Gluten Free Salt & Pepper soft shell crabs and Green peppercorn chicken. My partner and I have dined at this restaurant 3 times and we enjoyed it each time. It is always good to find a restaurant especially, a Chinese restaurant where you know what meals can be made Gluten Free  and you don’t have to stress over what to order or double check  every item on the menu.
