Thanks

Welcome to Swords
The Swords Garden Chinese restaurant and takeaway in the Castle shopping centre has a good range of gluten free items on their menu. They also have the nicest Chinese food in the town, in my opinion.

I'm sure you know this, but just remember, unless the restaurant is completely gluten free, there is a good chance there will be cross contamination with gluten. Not too bad if its a once in a blue moon thing, but if you eat out regularly you could be consuming a good amount of gluten without being aware of it.

i wouldnt trust a chinese restaurant to be gluten free.

they'd often, on a busy night,reuse the wok without cleaning it
and fried noodles full of gluten would be regularly cooked in the same wok
they use for flied rice.

Gourmet Food Parlour on North St definitely has gluten free options.

For food/groceries I cannot recommend JCs enough, my OHs daughter has gluten, spelt, soy, dairy, egg and other allergies, and JCs stock bread and pasta that she can eat.

While not in Swords, La Bucca in Ashbourne, will allow you bring your own pasta if you are on a night out and will cook it with any of their sauces.

Wrights in Swords have some gluten free options, as do the Gourmet food parlour. I've found both to be very accomodating in terms of dealing with the Ohs daughter.

Jade palace in Applewood are very accomodating if you need to have special requirements also.

Further afield, Gibneys and the Greedy Goose in Malahide and Findlaters are also decent enough options and the staff are good.

I would also be dubious of a Chinese that offers GF options due to cross contamination issues.

JCs supermarket in Swords GF section is great. I would also recommend Indie Spice Indian restaurant. I've eaten in their restaurant and used their take away delivery service many times and never had a problem.

Superquinn and Dunnes in the Pavilions also have good GF sections.

You won't starve!

Saw gluten free chocolate muffins in the Boulangerie in Applewood today.

Was in Masterson's in the Main St recently having coffee with a coeliac pal. They had gluten free options. Even gluten free bread for his toast, which made him very happy!
