When I launched GlutenFreeTravelSite over two years ago, the goal was to help give people following gluten-free diets a "vacation from worry," whether they were looking for an evening out at a local restaurant that could work around their gluten-free needs -- or searching for "safe" places to get a delicious gluten-free meal while traveling. I recently learned about a restaurant in Montreal, Canada, that perfectly embodies this philosophy...giving gluten-free diners as well as people with other dietary restrictions a true "worry free" dining experience. The restaurant is called Zero8, and the name is suggestive of their restaurant's unique positioning...they are a fine dining restaurant banning the 8 most common allergens, including gluten, from their menu. AND they have some terrific fine dining restaurant packages for tourists visiting Montreal and wanting a complete gluten-free (and other allergen-free) experience. For more about their food, ambiance, and special packages, including special wine dinners, visit their site ( http://zero8.com/vacation/index_en.php ). There 's also a review of Zero8 on GlutenFreeTravelSite ( http://glutenfreetravelsite.com/review_single.php?item_id=13&id=1211 ).
