The Buzz Restaurant and Lounge

Oooo, this is my new fave place for having drinks with the girls! It is cozy, with great service, and they make simply the best martinis! 

I recently contacted them to see if they could accommodate a gluten-free diet, and was told that their menu already has a few GF items, notably the Salmon, Duck Confit, Lamb Shanks, and Varutharacha Chicken, as well as most specials they offer. I also suspect the Polenta and Roasted Red Pepper Stack appetizer is gluten-free, but the manager didn't specify. As for sides, they offer both rosemary and mashed potatoes. But, do be sure to mention your affliction to gluten to the server so they can take extra care with your meal. Check the menu here!

I highly recommend you try their banana cream pie martini, but just ask for it without the graham cracker crumbs around the rim. It's so good, I seriously dream about it.

  1. I dream about the banana cream martini too...it's dangerous! I always follow it up with a mint chocolate martini, which is a lot stronger so I have to sip it! :)

  2. A friend sent me the link to your blog - this is great! I'm recently on the look out for GF places in Ottawa and your blog will definitely help with that.
    I'll be a frequent reader, most definitely.

  3. Hi Adi! Welcome to my blog! I checked out your blog as well, and will certainly be following you too! I am a bit of a health nerdo and love to cook, so now I know where to go when I need a little extra inspiration! Thanks! :)
