I'm celiac, so I can't eat gluten at all. At the menu there are some dishes marked as gluten free, but always double check with the kitchen / waitress if it's 100% save. We went there two times and I always had the fish. It's delicious and I didn't had any problems. So totally recommend this place.

The food is some of the best I have ever had. we shared 2 lots of tacos & each had the brisket that melted in your mouth. I truly haven't had food quite like it before. The price is extremely valuable for the quality & location. The staff were exceptional, very kind & very knowledgeable. My friend is gluten-free and had plenty of great options available.

Lazari – A little café with a big heart Lazari is one of those places that makes you feel instantly welcome – whether you're a local or just passing by. This morning, I met my sportgrouo friends there for a wholesome vegan breakfast: gluten-free Bircher muesli with dry coconut, blueberries and apples, a fresh carrot juice, a fiery ginger shot, and a warm, comforting cup of mesquite – now my favourite caffeine-free café-style drink. Usually, I’m not vegan, but with a retreat coming up tomorrow, I wanted to skip animal products – and this breakfast was just perfect to feel light and a little detoxed. And I normally don’t like almond milk, but here it was surprisingly delicious – smooth and satisfying. With its mix of small, cosy tables and larger ones for lively gatherings, Lazari offers space for connection and calm alike. And at the heart of it all is Linda, Michelle and her team who brings soul and sparkle to this beloved neighbourhood spot. I’ll definitely be back – to savour more flavours, support this sweet buzzing hub, and soak in the friendly, feel-good vibe.

Stop most food and drink options at 3 pm and staff are generally unhelpful or unable to assist. The closing time of 430 pm is misleading as if you arrive at 4 pm most things are packed away. Prices are very high for what you get. During lunch it takes a long time to order and receive your food so if you have less than an hour it is better to go somewhere else. Having said that they offer a large variety of gluten free, vegan and vegetarian foods especially many sweet options/smoothies which are difficult to find at other restaurants. They have convenient parking which is provided free for Nourished customers and is leased by the restaurant (although the attendant looks belligerent and tries to imply that he owns the lot and should be paid for time spent in the nourished parking.) I would prefer a car guard.

We were 4 diners. My daughter has Celiac disease so we specifically went to Maria’s because they advertised gluten free food. The food was amazingly good! But the manager was rude and abrasive, very dismissive when we asked for assurance that the food was prepared separately. When we got our starters, her gluten free starter was placed next to pita bread that was NOT gluten free, thus contaminating her food. When we pointed this out to the manager, he simply shrugged and left. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. And also apologetic about another table that was very loud, causing us to not stay for dessert because the noise level was simply too high! The only down side about the food was the baklava fingers we ordered as take away. They were vile! Tasted only of cinnamon. I’m Greek so I know how they should taste. Very disappointing dessert, don’t order that!

We had the Patatas Crujientes, the corn ribs, the beef birria and the chicken birria. All of it was extremely tasty. Cocktails also fantastic. Our servers, Arnold and Nigel were friendly and helpful. I am gluten intolerant and am therefore quite difficult to cater for, but Arnold was well informed and made sure to point out what I wouldn't be able to eat on the menu.

Absolutely Amazing! What an AMAZING experience. You are instantly welcomed into Julia's "home" like family. The social nature of the dining experience is only surpassed by the extraordinary culinary, wine, and service experience. Each dish is creatively prepared with expert precision and creativity. MENU Julia shapes the menu based on the freshest ingredients she can source from local purveyors. You feel as though you are dining with friends in Julia's home vs. a sterile restaurant. SERVICE The service staff anticipates your needs. We never once had to request bread, butter, water, wine, or anything. It was a masterclass in service. WINES It is clear that the wines are not accidentally paired, but Julia crafts each course to perfectly pair with its wine. We arrived at 6:30PM and before we knew it, it was 11PM and the table was filled with satisfied friends who had become like family during the course of the evening. OVERALL This was one of our favorite dining experiences that we have had anywhere in the world. One of us has dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy). Julia's team adapted each course to give that guest the full experience. They even produced their own gluten-free bread (which was fantastic). Whereas many places will accommodate dietary restrictions with something underwhelming, Julia's team embraced those restrictions in such a way that the guest had every bit of a culinary experience that the rest of us enjoyed. We cannot recommend Reverie any higher. Book in advance, and prepare for a great evening!

Always enjoy a hard rock whilst travelling and this is one of the smaller venues with everything you would expect from a Hard Rock. Food was tasty however when ordering gluten free the server did not really know and suggested the pasta should be fine without the garlic bread.... we did however get there and the food was both tasty and safe to eat.
