Top 5 gluten free restaurants

We have all been there, your friends or family want to go out for a meal and the inevitable topic comes up 'James you better chose because you're the one who can't eat anything'. This situation used to make me feel so awkward, especially back in the day when very few places catered to those on gluten free diets. But it doesn't need to be that way, there are loads of restaurants that now offer wheat free food and most will be sitting on your high street. So without further adieu, these are my top 5 UK restaurants that offer wheat free food.

5) Donatello's 

This one is a bit of a cheat as it is a one off based in Brighton, but i couldn't bring myself to not put it on here as it was the first restaurant i found that catered to my diet, and this was long before the big chains caught on the the whole thing. At the time I was 13 and the only person in school who was wheat intolerant and it was nice to know that others must have it too. My parents often drove the 45 minute journey for meals out, just so I wouldn't end up with a Caesar Salad AGAIN.

My Pick: Gluten free Carbonara 

4) Wagamama's

I honestly don't think i have ever met someone who doesn't love this restaurant, they dont have the largest choice for the gluten free, but I have never found myself not being in the mood for their delicious food

My Pick: Prawn summer rolls and Chicken Itame

3) Yo Sushi

This would be higher in my list, but I know so many people who refuse to try sushi, so i end up not going very often. This os one of few places where you have so much choice being gluten free. I have often stacked up one to many plates and ended up forking over a fortune but it tastes soooo good.

My Pick: Mini Spicy Tuna ISO rolls 

2) Prezzo 

Prezzo serve up the best gluten free pizza on the high street by far in my opinion,  and for a long time it was the thing i missed most about being gluten free.

My Pick: Gluten free Pizza, Vegetarian with extra chicken 

1) Pho 

There was no contest here, Pho is by far my favourite place to eat out. No only is everything I have ever eaten there delicious, but practically the entire menu is naturally gluten free. Serving Up soups salads and stir fries in an amazing atmosphere, its a restaurant everyone needs to try.

My Pick: Pho Bo Combo (Pho soup with brisket, beef and meatballs)
