Se Connecticut Dining!

[healthiernow]

Hello!

I'm new and this is my first post!

I wanted to share with anyone in the SE Conn area that I have two favorite restaurants that are very kind about discussing allergy issues and even altering the items on their menu to accomodate!

1.) MANGETOUT: an organic, locally grown restaurant on State St. in New London. Their menu changes everyday, so be sure to call or check it on the website. www.mangetoutorganic.com

2.) MILAGRO: this is my all-time favorite restaurant. Located in Stonington Burrough. The owner, Mr. Zavala, is very friendly and has a son with allergy issues, so he understands the need and is happy to accomodate. The food is SOOO good! It's no burrito or chimichanga place-- it has REAL Mexican food! Delicious!

Hope it helps if you haven't found these spots already on your own!

I'd love to hear about more!

Thank you so much. My wife has Celiacs and, as you know, finding places to eat can be difficult. We are on the shoreline in CT and have traveled to Norwich to go to "Engine 6". It is a local pizza place that has just begun to serve gluten-free calzones, pizza, and bread sticks. The food is great and they have won awards for their sauce too.

Again, thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the recommendations, I haven't been to either and they both sound wonderful!

I do love going to Abbott's in Noank (just West/South of Mystic)for lobster - it's a traditional lobster pound, you stand in line to order & snag a (waterfront) picnic table. BYOB for alcohol. Not sure about their coleslaw (once I had a mild reaction the next day, the last time I was there I skipped to coleslaw and no reaction) - may have been a cc event.

While we're on the subject of CT, anyone have any recommendations for central CT? The shore's kind of a far drive from the Hartford area for one meal.

check out Open Original Shared Link.

I think there's more threads here and there on this site, try searching on "Hartford" or "CT" and choose threads in the restaurant forum. Happy eating!

A communitymember mentioned a bakery in Portland that is Celiac-owned. She said this is near Middletown.

My wife and I are going to give Milagro's a try tonight. Looking forward to some authentic Mexican food (they just call it food in Mexico!)

Be sure to try the awesome pizza at Engine 6 on RT32 in Norwich and tell them Darlene and Kevin sent you.
