Olmecs, Richmond
I stumbled on this place when looking for a place to satisfy a cake craving on Friday night and discovered a really big gluten free menu! Don’t you love when that happens? I still only had a cake (they had a flourless orange cake) and hot chocolate but this is a place to put on the list for a dinner. It’s also a bakery and they apparently bake gluten free bread on the weekends. Menu includes salads, pizzas (a few extra dollars for a gluten free base), pastas (yes there is a gluten free pasta option) and meat dishes. They also do breakfast with options for gluten free bread.

We’ll have to go one night
Or for brekkie
Good news!! Due to increased demand, they’ve extended their gf options so now you can get bread and all the other dishes during the week!
I’m surprised. When I went to buy some bakery gf bread in late Jan, they told me they weren’t baking it anymore! Will have to check again.
This has become one of my favourite places to eat, as I don’t feel limited for choice. They’re GF pizzas are really yummy (I figure that as my other half will share them with with me) and it’s a great place to take others who aren’t GF and they have choice as well.
We went today. The Gluten free pizzas are not gluten free, we were told by the Chef they have gluten free bases but none of the toppings listed were actually known to be gluten free. Also after taking our order they came back and told us they didn’t have any gluten free bread for the brushetta or the breakfast menu items. So Saturday brunch was a write off and had to wait until I mid afternoon when I got home to eat. Also neither of the waitresses knew about the gluten free items and had to keep going to the kitchen to ask. Never going back.
