George and Mildred Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hi can any of you lovely Tasmanian people help? My family and I are coming to Tasmania at the end of the month to have a look around with a view to moving there. We are staying in The Huon Valley. My concern is I have food allergies. I have been having a google at where I can eat but don't seem to be getting very far with my search. I follow the Paleo diet as I can't eat gluten,dairy,corn or soy this makes it easy for me. I can only find Paleo meals to order. I have found a few gluten free places but if I eat Paleo I know I won't be sick whilst we are away. Just wondered if anybody knew of any places that cater for food allergies. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skani Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I can't say I am aware of any but, as I don't eat out often, I may be out of the loop. I have seen menu items with the notations "gf" and "df" beside them - gluten free and dairy free - and I suspect you will just have to be selective about the individual dishes you choose, wherever you eat.

George and Mildred Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Hi Skani, I guess I will know more when I get there, I don't eat out often myself it's too hard. I just wondered if there was somewhere but they didn't have a website. Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, it was the last place I ate at - my local pub - where I noticed the dairy free and gluten free notations besides dishes, so maybe it's becoming a common practice?

runslikeafish Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 There are lots of paleo people in Hobart. Lots! I know Hobart isn't the Huon Valley but it's only 30 mins away... Have a look at this list http://primalgirk.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/eating-out-in-hobart/ These guys have a cafe http://www.augustocafe.com.au/ and an order service https://www.facebook.com/OnTheGoPaleoMeals You may see me here - it's great!

fonsie Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I am a veggie, my grandson is lactose intolerant, we generally find that if you phone before you go to most restaurants and advice them of allergies/specific dietatary specs, they will do their best to cater for your needs. If you just rock up and hope that they can help - they probably can't. Phone first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
