Zero8™: allergens free restaurant
August 8, 2009
On August 8, my friends and I discovered the world's first restaurant that guarantees a menu which excludes eight priority food allergens. We had a wonderful time and, for once, I did not have to worry about what was in my plate.
Since its opening in Montreal (Canada) in February 2009, Zero8™ attracts a broad clientele. One of the co-owners, Mr. Dominique Dion, confirmed that the restaurant receives an increasing number of visitors, and he is now considering franchising the concept to other major Canadians cities as well as to other countries. The idea is brilliant, as are the atmosphere and décor of the restaurant, located in a vibrant area of the town. We spent a wonderful evening with our friends who were curious about discovering this new dining experience, which was safe for me and very interesting for all of them. The menu is composed of fresh ingredients for all sophisticated palates and is concocted without fish and seafood, peanuts, nuts, sesame seeds, milk (lactose & casein), soya, eggs, wheat or any grain containing gluten (barley, oat, rye and triticale) and sulphites (food supplement). Also, the meat is prime quality and everything on the menu (cocktail, beer, wine, starters, main course, deserts, coffees, teas and take away) absolutely guarantees that there are no contacts with any of the most important allergens. Even their hand soap, in the washroom, is certified gluten free! The friendly and professional staff is aware of the severity of food allergies on their clientele.
It was an amazing experience to taste my first Thai meal and discovered a restaurant which is saved for my life and pleasant to go to. It will be definitively a place to visit again soon and I will strongly recommend it to family with young children with food allergies.
