Where to find the best vegan food in London Yet according to Coeliac UK's Norma McGough, the number of restaurants, pubs and cafés serving gluten-free dishes is on the rise.

With a central London spot in Soho as well as a site at Mercato Metropolitano in south London, Leggero's most popular dishes include sandwiches served on foccacia, small plates – including fluffy ricotta gnudi and calamari – and a strong pasta selection made by hand daily.

Within a stylish setting – complete with a small garden – Le Merlin's chefs use gluten-free buckwheat flour throughout a small but perfectly formed menu of sweet and savoury crepes, to be washed down with a suitably Gallic selection of wines, beers and Breton cider.

If you’re craving a crêpe (and can’t afford a Eurostar ticket), Le Merlin in Clapton is the place to be.

Crêpes are divided into savoury and sweet options, with classic flavour combos alongside more experimental numbers.

The lemon cream and grilled almond crêpe was like a heavenly tarte au citron and flambéed pear with chocolate sauce was just as delicious.

You might worry that ordering just a crêpe for dinner won’t be enough to satisfy, but the rich ingredients beautifully arranged on wafer-like buckwheat pancakes were filling and pleasingly affordable (between £5.70 and £8.50).

Alternatively, people were coming in to sit in Le Merlin’s little garden for just a sweet crêpe and a glass of wine or Breton cider, which still seems like a winning idea.
