Our critic finds the presentation dated and the flavour lacking at this coeliac and vegan-friendly spot
Dublin 2’s Glas offers an elevated plant-based menu
A friend has been newly diagnosed with coeliac disease and her experience of eating out has so far been hit-and-miss. Sometimes, even though she’s told the restaurant she is coeliac and has ordered dishes she has been assured are gluten-free, she has suffered symptoms, which suggests there has been cross-contamination. Most of the time, she tells me, the options are so limited – she’s been eating a lot of steak – she wonders if it is worth going to restaurants at all.
I know many vegetarians and vegans feel the same – too often they have no choice at all, the dishes available to them reeking of afterthought. Riffs on the theme of beetroot and goat’s cheese – yawn! – still predominate.
