Are you traveling to Australia? Why not check out some of Tasmania's gluten free restuarnt options.

I had the pleasure of travelling through Tasmania in July for 2 weeks and found it a really great place to find some beautiful and delicious tasting food that I can eat. Most restaurants catered very well for gluten free meals and I would like to especially mention a few great restaurants that I ate at.

Ulverstone - Pedro's Seafood Restaurant Ph: (03) 64256663
Latrobe - The Cherry Shed
Devonport - Thai Imperial Courthouse - take away or eat in - (03) 64235373
Sandy Bay (Hobart) - Bay Leaf Bistro - (03) 6223 1771
Cleveland, Midland Highway - St. Andrews Inn Coffee House and Cafe Bar - (03) 6391 5525
Hobart (Salamanca Place) - Blue Eye Seafood Restaurant - (03) 62235297

The only place that I was very disappointed in was the Wrest Point Casino (and I told them so on the Customer Feedback Form!!). We were staying there and we went down for a late dinner (8:45 pm!!) and the Bistro was closing and the only place that I could get a meal was the Snack Bar. The staff did not offer any gluten free options except a salad and fries, and after a bit of too-ing and fro-ing I had a steak sandwich (without the bread) and a mediterrean salad. Not really good options from an international establishment. However, I had a win on the roulette table so that made up for the poor meal.
