well an update after this, Rubicon is our favourite restaurant in Canberra. Sent them an email and they are willing to work with us to provide a suitable option. looks like a winner to me 🙂

Thanks for all of the other suggestions, much appreciated

Anything Asian will likely have soy and potentially garlic. Anything fried may well be fried in soy oil (although may not).

I know a Jewish friend of mine ‘bends’ the kosher rules by ringing up restaurants beforehand and asking for grilled fish with olive oil and steamed vegies. Most ‘Australian’ mod oz cuisine places will do this, since they have the ingredients anyway.

Yeah, ‘plain’ meat and three veg is likely all that you can have without too many complications. Although somewhere like ‘italian and sons’ has mezzo platters where you can pick and chose individual items. Whether that fills you up I’m not sure

I find a fresh, deep fried Chico Roll from the local takeaway bridges the cultural and ethical gap’s very well.

My wife suffers from some food intolerance problems too. We’ve had a great experience at La Piazza in Erindale. We just called the day before to give the chef time to prep for us and they did everything they could to make sure we were well catered for.

Nice place for a date night too, I think.

If you are in Belconnen: Ellacure do dietry requirements for fancy, Black pepper if you aren’t so fancy.
Steak restrauants also tend to be petty allergy friendly, Babar’s was quite good for low rent allergy friendly (though I haven’t been there for years)..

I have a friend who is allergic to onions and we eat at with no problems: Labor club Civic, Hellenic club civic, Asian noodle house civic, two sisters thai civic, london Burgers and beers, grill’d…

Peppered Prawn in Woden is a fairly upmarket seafood restaurant that’s still family-friendly. They’ve altered/customised dishes for me before. Worth a call, I reckon. http://www.pepperedprawn.com.au/pdf/menu.pdf

Kingsland in Dickson is completely free of dairy and alliums, and there are soy-free options. But it’s a vegan restaurant, so I suspect it’s not what you’re looking for.
