My favourite low FODMAP pizza in Canberra for the past couple of years has been the wood fired Margherita from the Pizza Trailer. Their tomato base is onion and garlic free, and the aged sourdough wheat base means I can eat a whole pizza with no nasty symptoms. But the Pizza Trailer has been a…
Eclectic Asian at Akiba
Akiba is a place I’ve been meaning to tell you about for ages. The problem is each time I visit I accidentally devour my food before I remember to take any photos! It’s become a go to place for me for special dinners with friends and celebratory work lunches. When I book, I always ask…
Poké at Supa Bowl
Recently, I happened to be near No Name Lane in City West at lunchtime, and decided to try a place that’s been on my to do list since it opened, Supa Bowl. I first encountered poké on a trip to Hawaii before I became a FODMAPper. I loved the freshness and simplicity of the dish,…
Mee’s Sushi 🍣
Sushi is an excellent lunch option for FODMAPers on the go. My favourite is Mee’s, which has stores in Manuka and City West. A lot of their sushi rolls and most of the nigiri are low FODMAP, and always fresh and delicious. My favourite hand rolls are the veggie, the chicken schnitzel and the salmon…
Breakfast at Muse
In addition to being an amazing bookshop, Muse does a tasty breakfast. Located in the East Hotel in Kingston on the corner of Canberra Avenue and Giles St, it’s a convenient inner South brunch spot. Vegetarian and gluten free items on the menu are clearly marked. When I visited in February, there were several options…
Kebabs at Ali Baba
Turkish is one of my favourite foods, but it’s an almost impossible challenge to find low-FODMAP Turkish food when dining out. Onion, garlic and wheat seem to be used generously in everything! Thanks to the many Ali Baba stores throughout Canberra though, I’ve been enjoying almost normal kebabs for dinner and out on shopping trips….
Melbourne trip
A couple of months ago I was was lucky enough to spend 5 days In Melbourne. Melbourne is the home of the low-FODMAP diet, and dining out heaven for me! Here’s a selection of the places I dined out at during my trip. Foddies Foddies is a Melbourne business dedicated to looking after those on…
Kagawa Japanese Dickson
I love Japanese food, and it’s really easy to find a low FODMAP option at most Japanese restaurants. Kagawa Japanese Restaurant is a popular option in Dickson. While I’m yet to fully explore the menu, they have some really tasty and fresh sushi and sashimi platters that keep me happy while my friends tuck into…
Burgers at Brodburger
Brodburger has always had a special place in my heart, since its early days in the red caravan at Bowen Park. Nothing is better than a burger and fries by the lake with friends. The great news is that it’s possible to have a low-FODMAP Brod at their new and improved store at the Glassworks…
Low FODMAP bread update
There have been lots of changes to low FODMAP breads available in Canberra since my post last year. Artisan sourdough Unfortunately, Autolyse is no longer with us, so their spelt sourdough is off the menu. But happily, Three Mills Bakery is making this lovely spelt sourdough loaf now. I find the slices are a bit…
Bibimbap at Hangari Kimchi
Korean food is so popular in Canberra, but given how much garlic is generally used in Korean food, you may have been reluctant to tag along with your friends. Worry not, bibimbap is a delicious low-FODMAP option for us that seems to be on every Korean menu! Bibimbap means “mixed rice” in Korean. You can…
Curries at the Hungry Buddha
Good South Asian curries are one of the things I’ve missed most since starting the low-FODMAP diet. I’ve asked quite a few Indian restaurants in Canberra if they can make me something onion and garlic free, and so far I haven’t found one willing. However, the good folks at the Hungry Buddha Nepalese in Curtin were…
