| - A sight for sore eyes! But a journey to gate B3!
By the time we got to YYZ (Toronto) Terminal 3... on the OTHER side of the blooming terminal too... we knew our connecting flight had been delayed before we'd begun our journey and we needed somewhere to have a beverage and maybe a snack.
After an odyssey that took us UNDER a runway, along several moving sidewalks, up at least one escalator, I was desperately worried there wouldn't be any kind of food, (let alone gluten free), or beverages at this desolate outpost of the terminal and we'd have to journey the *entire* way back to the main B gates just for a beverage. The airport website - while truly a lovely creation, did NOT mention anything in the PDFs I downloaded about Termial 3 B gates that weren't ACTUALLY together with the other B gates.
Open the menu, looking for cider, craving cider. There wasn't a single one I could find. OH BUT!! Under Bottled Beer - lo, Angry Orchard Cider! Oh yes, please. And ICY cold too.
No mention of Gluten Free on the menu... I was resigned to ordering salad. Oh now, Amanda our server says, you can have the Gluten Free bun if you like! VERY tempting, but oh how I longed for a salad, green things hadn't been on the menu at our vacation destination. I passed on the bun, but did add grilled chicken to the simple salad with balsamic vinaigrette on the side. The chicken had been marinated in something, that I did not see mentioned on the menu - not sure what, and I should have asked. No idea if I could safely eat it. It seems to have herbs, and the chicken was served cold as to not wilt the salad. Warm chicken would have been nice... but it was still delicious.
Dessert? Oh none for the gluten free diner, but... we were too full and I needed a to-go container anyways. My fridge would be empty when I got home, and having a snack for the next day wasn't a bad idea.
Asking about the gluten free buns, Amanda checked with the kitchen and they informed her they serve Rich's glutenfree buns http://richscanada.com/3490/1508/productdetail.html Not something we have in western Canada, but the ingredients look satisfactory. Watch out the calorie count though - 250 per bun! Gluten free is never a "diet" choice!
FYI - they have a shared fryer, sub salad instead if you are sensitive to cross-contamination.
Definitely would be delighted to visit again on my next trip through YYZ, and try something else on the menu. My travelling companion ate every last bit of his burger without much chat - I have to assume it was tasty!
