As you all know I am always on the look out for more great gluten free option in the Cape Town area. So here on my latest:
A MUST visit is Terra Bella ( find it on Facebook:Terra Bella Cape Town) a small stall at the Hout Bay Harbour Market filled with the yummiest things. Everything is gluten free and also sugar and dairy free,for those who need that. Please let me know if you do go and try her delicious food. I will be sure to be back there as often as I can 
It tasted amazing and I must admit,as Hout Bay is a bit far for me to travel to frequently,I was a bit greedy and had one of everything. I had a divine jam biscuit,a waffle made right there and took home with me a chocolate cupcake and a salted chocolate tart. Do yourself a favour and get down to the market,which is lovely anyway and you can have coffee and cake that’s all good for you. It just felt so good to be able to go out and eat great gluten free things and feel like normal for a change!
My second great find,is a bit of a fabulous secret and was thanks to one of my readers,Estelle,who recommended it. It’s called Eat Well . It is a bit off the beaten track,but if you are heading into Stellenbosch,it’s worth the drive. We drive to Hillcrest Berry Orchard once a month to stock up on frozen berries,which I use in my breakfast smoothies,so we stopped and had lunch at Eat Well,while I was in the area.
They do not have just a token few gluten free items on the menu,but an entire separate gluten free menu,inside the normal menu of about four pages long. There are gluten free soups, gluten free sandwiches, gluten free burgers and gluten free cakes. I had the beef burger and realised it had been 2 1/2 years since I had a had a burger!
I even got the waiter to check how the meat was made,as they might have used breadcrumbs to bind it and he was said no it is completely gluten free. That was great to hear,as a lot of places offer gluten free,without understanding that the whole dish MUST be gluten free, not one or two items on it. For example a place offered gluten free pasta,but the sauce it came with contained gluten! So I am happy to say the Eat Well,offers a comprehensive gluten free menu and I am sure that the whole dish is safe. Please le me know if any of you go there and have a successful meal.
Happy Gluten Free Eating!
