We went up to Vancouver, B. C. last weekend and it was hands down my best travel experience being gluten free. Every single restaurant we went to was so so helpful and knowledgable and all but 1 had a gluten free menu. The first was Earls on Robson street. We had AMAZING pulled pork tacos & Sangria.
This lunch at Edible on Granville Island was to. die. for.! Gluten free fish and chips, need I say more? They fry them in their own fryer and make them from sctrach. I was very skeptical and even asked our server to double check with the kitchen to make sure they were 100% gluten free and she assured me they were. They tasted like heaven!
We had a fancy dinner out at Cin Cin, an amazing Italian place. They made me my own little loaf of gluten free bread from scratch and brought me my own dish of tapenade to dip it in to make sure there was no cross contamination, and I didn't even ask for it! How fabulous is that?!
I was so happy, it felt so nice to enjoy each course and feel "normal" while out to eat!
And this, homemade gluten free pasta! It was delicious. They also had gluten free wood fired pizzas that looked fabulous but I couldn't pass up the pasta because that is so rare!
I was so thrilled with the progress Vancouver has made. We were there in January of 2010 and whenever I asked about gluten everyone looked at me like I was speaking another language. It was amazing to see the changes in 1 1/2 years. We're making progress here in the states as well but nothing like up there! Yay for Canada!
