ENVY CAFE & GALLERY
Most mornings I head into Envy Cafe & Gallery for my daily soy latte - they make the best coffee. They also stock my favourite brand of gluten free toast, so I sometimes order that with lashings of peanut butter. On the weekends I order my favourite dish, gluten free toast with scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, rocket and dill creme fraiche. It's amazing. I always plan to order something else when I go there, as I really like to try new things, but when it comes time to place my order that just tumbles out of my mouth! It's a great dish, and it can keep me going all day long. They also do a housemade rice muesli and often have a brown rice porridge on the specials board.

LONGRAIN
For special occasions I LOVE to go to Longrain in Sydney. They serve modern thai/asian cuisine and the waitstaff have a good knowledge of all the dishes and what gluten is. They predominantly use tapioca and rice flours in their cooking, so generally most dishes are gluten free, except for any that use soy sauce or another sauce containing gluten. Those who are gluten free should really try their salt and pepper squid when it is on the specials list. The batter, made with tapioca flour, is light, crunchy and oh so tasty. Some other favourites are the betel leaf (sounds weird, but everyone loves it), the caremelised pork hock, and the coconut caramel custard. Actually, all of the dishes I have had there (and there have been a lot) have been incredible. Make sure you get there early to have a cocktail or two from their extensive list!

I eat at Nicks Bar and grill at King street wharf in the city. My favourite meal is the prawns with garlic butter and salad. There are also other items on the menu that are gluten free as well but i dont eat them often because i love prawns so much. Just let them know you are GF before hand.
