We needed to find a strictly kosher meat restaurant that could also cater for a vegetarian and a gluten-free diner, which is difficult at the best of times, let alone in a foreign country with a language barrier. The first thing we noticed was that the menu looked promising for all 4 of us; next, the person in charge knew immediately what we meant when we asked if they can accommodate a gluten-free diner.
