The coolest thing happened not too long ago… I was visiting Nates Bagels & Gluten Free Foods in Concord, ON (where I re-discovered my favourite GF wrap). While chatting with Chef Pierangela about gluten-free restaurants in the city, she mentioned La Veranda Osteria in Etobicoke-Toronto, ON and said that I had to go there because it was amazing! Now it is not at all close to me geographically so I promised her that I the next time I was in that area I would definitely check it out…
…meanwhile, back at my house, the mail was being delivered, in which later that day I discovered an invitation to my dear cousin’s daughter’s baptism- church, followed by lunch at La Veranda Osteria!!! C’mon now, that’s fate!
I was lucky enough that my cousin arranged a special meal for me in advance- and what a perfect place to do so! The food was excellent- I would definitely recommend- and there was no expense of quality or food presentation. See for yourself…
