Babbo Italian Restaurant

     



Italian food has always been my favourite cuisine but of course it involves all things gluten! Pizza, pasta, bread all contain wheat flour however, many Italian restaurants due to the demand of gluten free provide the options of gluten free pizza, pasta and bread. At Babbo they have a wide variety of gluten free options, they may not have a specific gluten free menu however it is integrated in their al la carte menu with the symbol GF.  

 The restaurant is situated in the Giffnock area just outside of Glasgow (2 Mains Avenue, Giffnock, Glasgow). There are many options to choose from within the al la carte menu and this is typically unusual for those on a gluten free diet.


Lets get to the good part… the food!! 
Starter
For my starter I opted for bruschetta, this often is not an option for us GF diners however the bruschetta is served with gluten free bread slightly toasted with tomatoes, red onion and rocket. It was amazing, I was happy with my choice!


Main
For my main course there were many different meals to choose from such as beef stroganoff, gluten free pasta, pizza and a selection of fish, red meat and chicken. I decided to go for gluten free Penne arrabbiata with chicken and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. This is one of my favourite meals as I LOVE spice and the pasta was cooked to perfection.


Dessert
Normally gluten free deserts are limited and cakes are never really an option so on this occasion I selected the chocolate brownie, this was served with ice cream, was hot in the centre and best of all 100% GF, it was to die for!!


Would I Recommend? 

I would strongly recommend Babbo as restaurant that provides a vast range of gluten free options, as well as the staff being friendly and very helpful.

Orchard Park Hotel

Being gluten free is never easy to get a variety of different options and especially pub food that involves steak pie, chicken pie, fish and chips and many more gluten containing foods. On this occasion, the Orchard Park a local pub, restaurant and boutique hotel located in the Giffnock area offers those on a gluten free diet a variety of choice. The gluten free options are available on the main menu with GF marked next to the available options. The menu ranges from steaks with available sauces without wheat flour, mussels, curry, a variety of different salads including Caesar and lastly a beef or chicken burger with an available gluten free bun and chips! My Choice... Normally most restaurants do not offer a gluten free beef burger never mind offering a burger bun that also contains no gluten products, so of course I was over the moon to be able to have a proper burger again! The burger was served with house burger relish along with lettuce, tomato and ski...
