"Being loved-up? Fabulous. Not being able to eat noodles on your date night? Terrible. Enter Lahpet, a cool and casual Burmese restaurant in Covent Garden, where the go-to glass noodles are gluten-free and importantly, covered in chilli jam. This place has a whole host of free-from options and although the coconut-packed curries are an easy win, it’s extra exciting that so many of the noodle dishes are gluten-free too. The downstairs table is a big sharing situation with other diners, so opt for the upstairs tables if you want to set the mood for a little romance. " - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
