Help
Hi Everyone,
I'm going to be spending quite some time in London soon and I was wondering if anyone could suggest some gluten free restaurants or restaurants that have a gluten free menu or restaurants that serve gluten free products or just restaurants that are very accomodating??
Also, where are the best places to shop for gluten free products?
Thanks.

Shopping...
In general major supermarkets ... which are somewhat hit and miss in central London....
Tesco, Asda, Sainsburies have gluten-free sections, M&S has them in with "normal food" ....
If you are driving its worth a trip to the larger ones outside of central London.
Resto wise... a couple.. I usually try and find a La Tasca tapas place.... they have a gluten-free menu but more places are starting up and I haven't been in London for over a year.

Check out the CUK website for some suggestions:

It's not exhaustive, but should start you off. If you are in the Midlands at all, I know a great resteraunt In Birmingham
if you come across Waitrose supermarket, they do some amazing gluten-free bread (yes, gluten-free bread that actually tastes really good
)

I'm heading back to London for two weeks on business - I'll be staying and working around Paddington. I was diagnosed in London over a year ago, but then I just stayed home because going out to eat was a bit too daunting. I did find one A.S.K. which would prepare my pasta in fresh water and I had no reaction.
Any other suggestions?
La Tasca was okay, no reactions, their menu even specified which things were gluten free.

Texas Embassy has a menu, and it was alright. I say "alright" only because I was born in Texas and am a true Mexican food junkie. It wasn't spicy enough!! They were nice though, and I loved the concept.
Unfortunately, I everywhere else I went I just had to try and pick my way through the menu and order something that "seemed" safe. I was only there for about two days though, and being the poor college student I am really couldn't afford to try and eat safely.

I had really good luck at Giraffe's. They are a chain, and decent food. Things aren't labelled gluten-free, but the wait staff was super accommodating and I never got sick there. Tesco's (supermarket) has an awesome gluten-free section, their bread is super nummy. They over-package the heck out of their food, so the packaging is a bit odd, but don't be put off by it. I remember gluten-free frozen foods as well.

gluten-free since 7/23/05
Never felt better.
