I’ve lived in L.A. for most of my life and have tried many restaurants offering gluten-free menus. Some are merely a handful of regular menu items that have been identified as being gluten-free, some offer a very limited selection of specifically gluten-free items and there are places like Hugo’s. Hugo’s has a menu that is beyond belief — dozens of menu items clearly marked as gluten-free and a staff who seemingly gets what you’re talking about when asking questions about the preparation of the food.
On my last visit, I had the Lentils, Leafy Greens & Rice As A Casserole and the spinach lemonade (OK, I know that drink sounds disgusting to some of you, but it really is delicious). I’m not a vegetarian, but when getting meals like this, I know that I wouldn’t have a problem with being one. On other visits, I’ve tried the Black Bean Chili, the Chipotle Scramble and the Orange Ginger Chicken. There are so many more items that I’m wanting to try — I know that there are many more visits in store for me.
Hugo’s is quickly becoming an L.A. must for me. I’m sure if you try it, it will be the same for you. Oh, I almost forgot to mention their tea selection — if you’re into tea as much as I am, you’ll be happy.
