Oh my! This little gem has just opened its doors and not only is the food AMAZING, but it is also very GF-friendly. In fact, all the dishes which are gluten-free, or can be made as such, are clearly marked on the menu. What more could a gal ask for? Oh wait, I forgot to mention the great wine. Plus, after I pointed out my gluten aversion, they served yummy toasted papadums with my meal instead of bread. I was so touched!
Zen Kitchen is a brand new vegetarian fine dining restaurant which is absolutely worth checking out. Really, a very nice place for a special date. :) The food is creative, delicious, and the menu is regularly tweaked so you'll see new items appearing every so often, depending on the seasonality of produce and the whim of the talented hands in the kitchen.
I had a tomato bisque to start, the thai lemongrass curry as a main, and the chocolate mousse torte for dessert (see pic!). I was especially impressed with the bisque and curry. The bisque was made with applewood smoked tomatoes, and was truly delicious. This would be a very comforting soup to have on a chilly evening. As for the curry, it was highly aromatic, with a spice that slowly increased as I made my way to the bottom of the plate. Very unique and satisfying. Plus, I found some purple carrot in my dish, which I thought was pretty cool. Five stars out of five.

Thanks for a lovely review! We're always very happy to serve clients who want a gluten-free meal, and we're currently developing some new dishes to accomodate this very common requirement.

I will definitely be checking out this place! Thanks for the review - I hadn't even heard of this restaurant. Looking forward to trying out their gluten free goods...
ReplyDeleteI was not a fan of this restaurant. The brunch was a real disappointment:( The food was cold and the fries has some seasoning I was not found of.
ReplyDeleteI would recommend the Green door for brunch instead. More casual dinning but the food is better and healthier in my opionion.
