While we’re on the central Sydney theme, if you’re shopping in the city you can dodge packed food halls and head to the QVB.
It’s a sumptuous place to shop and there are a couple of relaxed options for gf explorers in this spectacular building.
Completed in 1898, the QVB kept out-of-work craftspeople afloat during an economic downturn. Shops veer towards quality chains and boutiques, with Town Hall train station and a busy mall underneath.
Shopping-fatigued coeliacs can choose from the lunch menu at Cellinis Bar/Restaurant.
Hooray for gf menus!
At the other end, the Old Vienna Coffee House has a gluten free cake menu (the photo at the top is from one of their pavlovas). The Hazelnut Meringue (below) is my favourite, the chocolate was a bit dry (there were four of us, I wasn’t eating them all myself!).
We didn’t try the Orange and almond,
but the waiter did kindly hold it up for
me to photograph – very obliging…
And then of course there’s
The Tea Room on the top
- I’ll tell you all about that one on Monday.
