Review of Boom + Batten Restaurant & Cafe

Boom+Batten has only been open for a few days so they are fine tuning the menu items and kitchen protocols but we were very impressed with the lunch they prepared for us. We were able to speak with the executive chef who explained that they take Celiac and GF very seriously and assured us that, although gluten is present in the kitchen, he and his team have worked hard to establish protocols to reduce or eliminate any chance of cross contamination. A dedicated fryer will be in use for GF only items and the Dungeness Crab Pizza I had was prepared in a separate area of the kitchen and baked in a separate oven from the other pizzas. I must say that it was one of the tastiest GF pizzas I’ve had. The chef stated that he outsources the GF base from specialty supplier and he’s really managed to nail with this one. It was so delicious that even my non GF husband loved it too! That’s a true compliment indeed! The menu is varied with a lovely seafood selection (tuna ceviche was gorgeous!!!), steaks, salads and burgers. The kitchen can prepare most everything GF. The dessert we shared was called Baked Yogurt and it was phenomenal- creamy and fresh, it was the perfect ending to a delicious meal. The yogurt usually comes with an oat topping but the kitchen will adjust to make it GF. Definitely give this beautiful restaurant a try and enjoy those wonderful harbour views while you enjoy some tasty food!!
