Sugarlane Lane Cove

I first went to Sugarlane because they had such an extensive gluten free menu including crispy fried chicken with Plum sauce which turned out to be an absolute standout. The staff were welcoming and all of the food was excellent. I've already been back and will be back again.

WARNING FOR GLUTEN-FREE/COELIAC DINERS The first time I went to this restaurant, the waitress serving me at the time insisted that any of the dishes that could be made gluten-free would certainly be free from cross-contamination. She was very persistent when I questioned her. Some six months(?) later at a subsequent visit, I was informed by another waitress that one of the dishes that I had previously ordered "is totally fine and gluten-free, but is fried in the same fryer with other gluten-containing food, and because I hadn't got sick, it is totally fine." Unfortunately with Coeliac Disease you can still be damaging your intestines if you consume gluten, even without displaying symptoms. I was very taken aback at the waitress's careless attitude to a serious health condition and it put a real damper on what was supposed to be a special night with my husband. :( Please be very careful eating here if you have a gluten-related condition, as it seems staff are trained quite poorly in awareness, and you may be putting yourself at risk.
