The UAE restaurant scene is offering more opportunities than every to get a pasta fix — while keeping gluten free, whether you suffer from celiac disease, allergies, or are intolerant,
Per Te Ristorante e Café in Jumeirah has handcrafted gluten-free menu items to cater to those with gluten-intolerance and allergies. The restaurant sources gluten-free pastas for an extensive menu that features antipasti, salads, pasta, risotto, sides and indulgent desserts.
The pasta dishes include Frutti di mare (with prawns, calamari, mussels, chilli, garlic and tomatoes) and Pomodorini e basilica (with cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and extra virgin olive oil).
“There is a high demand for gluten-free dishes due to increasing awareness, diagnosis and in general people’s preference for healthier alternatives,” says Gladwin Anton, executive chef of Per Te Ristorante e Café. “Our staff is trained to handle such orders. We not only use separate equipment for preparation and cooking but also have a different counter, dry storage area and fridge to handle gluten-free ingredients.”
