Cutler & Co

On Tuesday 21 February I had the privilege of attending a special dinner event at Cutler & Co.  This was my first time at this restaurant.   I know that it is hard to believe, as my job is all about venues, but I unfortunately I can’t visit everything.    

Last year, I found out that I am allergic to a number of foods like dairy, eggs, nuts, wheat… just to name a few.  Since then, I’ve experienced many challenges when eating out.  Bakeries are out, as almost all of them don’t offer gluten free breads or treats. Please let me know if there are some that do.   Most cafes offer soy coffee, but I am allergic to soy as well!  These allergies are not life-threatening, but they cause discomfort and make me look 6 months pregnant.

Cutler & Co were absolutely on the ball with my list of allergies and made sure that I was able to enjoy amazing food like everyone else.  They even made a special treat just for me, which made most of the guests at my table envious of my dessert. It was Ginger granita, coconut tapioca, fresh lychee & aloe vera. The restaurant worked extremely well for a function, the atmosphere was jovial and bustling.  We had exclusive use of the restaurant which was filled with 60 conference & tourism specialists.  This was probably wise too, as we are a loud bunch who love to talk and enjoy our night out.   The service staff were excellent, with no glass ever empty.  I will definitely go to Fitzroy to visit this restaurant again and I highly recommend it for your next function.
