Last week I paid a visit to the Wok & Wine restaurant in Edinburgh. As the name suggests, Wok & Wine is a Chinese restaurant that also serves a good selection of wine. If you have coeliac disease you will know that eating out in Chinese restaurants can be a challenge due to the fact that soy sauce appears prominently in many dishes. Wok & Wine provide a separate gluten free menu that includes a good selection of dishes made with gluten free soy sauce and using potato and rice flour instead of wheat flour.
You can find Wok & Wine on 57a Frederick street ...

I hadn’t had a Mexican meal since before I went on a gluten free diet, so I was delighted to find that Rosa Mexicano featured a gluten free menu!
On our last day in South Beach we had a good 5 hours to kill before our flight home. We decided to spend a little bit of time walking around ocean drive, having a coffee, doing a spot of shopping on Collins Avenue (mainly me) and then walking along the boardwalk by the beach. Afterwards we went in search of a good final lunch in Miami, gluten free of course. We chose Lincoln Road Mall for lunch since we’d been there the night before and loved the atmosphere and the pleasant pedestrian area.
The first thing I want to say is – I really wish we had a PF Changs China Bistro restaurant in the UK! I often have a craving for Chinese food and it’s hard to get safe gluten free Chinese food with all that soy sauce and batter around! I’d been to PF Changs a couple of years back when we were in California and I loved it, so I was excited to learn that they have a gluten free menu available. We were only in Miami for 3 days, but if we’d been there longer I would have visited PF Changs twice!
I thought it would be worth writing a quick gluten free review of Le Monde in Edinburgh. I’ve been to this restaurant three times now since being diagnosed with coeliac disease – twice for lunch and once for dinner. Le Monde is situated in George street and is a chic bar with a large restaurant area, both downstairs (Vienna) and upstairs (Paris). It also has a hotel with 18 rooms, although I can’t comment on the hotel, having never stayed there.
