Thankfully, chefs and their staff are now more aware than ever of the need to accommodate special requirements and tailor menus accordingly. You might come across abbreviations such as "GF" in menus to indicate safe choices, and waiters are more likely than ever to be able to tell you what you're free to order and what you should avoid. As the hospitality industry is designed to satisfy each customer, do ask whether a dish can be made to order by substituting certain ingredients with a gluten free alternative.
