Dining out with dietary restrictions can be tricky
For people with celiac disease the briefest exposure to gluten can trigger a powerful immune reaction and they have to be alert around food at all times, eating in restaurants requires particular vigilance. The number of people with gluten intolerance is steadily growing and same goes for diabetes.
‘I am lucky not to have any problems, but know many who do and have witnessed what they go through when trying to pick safe dishes from a restaurant menu’ says Claude Chouinard, bridges co-founder. So true to our motto to deliver happiness and pleasing all senses, the team got together and created an amazing gluten-free and diabetic-friendly menu.
In this process we were supported by Lisa Bryan, nutrition coach from USA, who herself suffers from a severe form of celiac disease but is also a big time foodie. The result of the teamwork is mouthwateringly good and will no doubt please also those who do not have any dietary restrictions… To keep it clear and simple, the menu is separate from the regular menus and lists all ingredients used for each dish, offering a choice of entrées, mains and desserts for lunch and for dinner.
From the reactions we get from the guests, this addition has been well received. We are very happy about that!
