A great gluten free meal at Vozars restaurant in Brixton.
Coeliacs are a funny breed. We're easily spotted by our wide-eyed wonder when we find somewhere safe to eat, our scrambling for a camera to photograph the food we are about to eat, and a notepad (or scrap of paper) so we remember what we ate to enable us to blog, tweet, review and let other poor unfortunate Coeliac Disease sufferers know where they can also eat stress and worry-free.
One of the best places I have found in my six-ish years as a Coeliac on a strict gluten and wheat free diet is Vozars in Brixton Village Market where EVERYTHING is gluten and wheat free!
For a Coeliac it really is a great place to dine at, or grab something to take-away, as all of the food is prepared and cooked by very knowledgeable staff, so its safe for Coeliacs (as well as being tasty for 'normal' diners and those on a gluten free diet).

The lunch menu has a good range of dishes and there were some specials including a Venison Burger on offer. But I remembered how much I liked the chicken strips on my last visit, so opted for the Chicken strips, rocket and chilli mayo sandwich. I also had the Hand cut chunky chips with Vozars mayo, and of course this was washed down with an obligatory Celia gluten free lager.

The meal was nice and filling, so I didn't have a chance to have a dessert, however tempting the pear and chocolate tart looked.
Since my last visit in October 2013 Vozars restaurant has had a refurbishment and it looks great. There's now a lot more seating space inside and out and is also licensed to sell alcohol - very handy when the restaurant is inspired by Celia Lager.

Had another great meal (with a couple of gluten free Celia lagers too) at Vozars cafe deli restaurant in Brixton Village Market last night.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great spot for a meal - especially so if you're a coeliac as the entire menu is gluten and wheat free!
I had a very tasty Duck Confit for my main, while Emily had a great Lamb Tagine. We also had A LOT of chips as a starter!
It makes a real change to be able to dine out and not have to ask a lot of questions about the preparation of the food, or double (and triple) check the food is safe to eat.
Looking forward to my next meal at Vozars.
Emily and I enjoyed a three-course gluten & wheat free meal at the Spiced Winter Warmer event at Vozars restaurant last night.
