Certified Gluten Free Kitchen at the Royal Coach Dining Room

I don't know if this is a hidden gem anymore, but the Royal Coach Dining, now led by Executive Chef Rida Ben Mansour is a certified gluten free kitchen with the Gluten Free Food Program as a kitchen that knows how to perform in a shared space.  The now retired Executive Chef Lorne Soles had the vision to support the community and took the steps needed to get certified and ensure staff are trained.

The Royal Coach Dining continues to off a fully 100% gluten free buffet every Saturday evening. We attending the buffet near the beginning of its inception and it was awesome.  Amanda was thrilled to walk up to a buffet and safely be able to eat any food from it with no worries about cross contamination.  Here is a sample of their menu:

Although it has been a long time since we have eaten at the buffet, it doesn't mean it has been a long time since we've ordered from the Royal Coach Dining Room.  As wonderful as a 100% gluten free buffet is, they actually have something in my opinion that is even better.  They have buckets of gluten free fried chicken for takeout!  

The fried chicken is so yummy.  We love to have it as a treat.  You can order fries and gravy with it as well, however we just make our own fries at home.

It is quite the drive for us to get there (about 20 minutes with no traffic), but we know it is worth the drive.  And if by chance the chicken does cool down, it heats up easily in the oven or air fryer.

Bonus!  We use leftover to make gluten free chicken and waffles the next morning!
