CoreLife Eatery

Strongsville, Mentor, Fairlawn

CoreLife Eatery is all about healthy eating.  Luckily for us they think that means its (almost) all gluten free.

The menu features bowls of greens, grains, rice and broth and power plates.  Pick one of their suggestions or create your own.

I had the Greens and Ancient Grains Bowl: Warm quinoa, shredded kale + arugula, tomatoes, corn, chickpeas, broccoli, shredded white cheddar. You watch the bowl being made and can customize as you’d like. The dressings are all gluten free. I had the greek yogurt bleu cheese which didn’t add much flavor. The salad ingredients were the freshest of the fresh.

My dining companion had Shiitake Mushroom & Roasted Tofu Broth Bowl: Vegetable broth, shiitake mushrooms, napa cabbage, shredded kale, roasted tofu, sprouts, ginger, lemongrass, sliced almonds. Perfect for a chilly day.

My only complaint is that they only offer complimentary gluten filled bread. It is the only thing that contains gluten in the restaurant but I wish they had a gluten free option or, even better, served only a gluten free bread choice.

I lunched in Strongsville. There’s also a location now in Mentor and soon-to-open in Fairlawn.

56 Kitchen is a storefront next to Planet Fitness in the Solon Square shopping center  OR  a storefront in the Eastgate Shopping Plaza at Som and Mayfield.

But when you walk through the door you are in a slice of gluten free heaven. Lots of choices on the menu. Both the greeter and the server agreed that the kitchen was well aware of requirements of making sure gluten free food is served gluten free.

Udi’s crusts are used for gluten free pizzas. And the fryers are dedicated gluten free – for all fried foods. And the flourless chocolate cake is always available.

I had a hard time making a choice but settled on the “Grilled Oyster Steak Sandwich” and substituted the available Masa Waffle (add $2) for the bread. Served open faced it was oh so tasty. The waffle was a thoughtful and delicious gluten free base. Highly recommend the fries. I chose well.

Other food, enjoyed by gluten eating diners, looked and smelled great. All were happy with their choices and readily agreed to return with me so I can give other menu items a try.

I enjoyed lunch at Zaytoon before a Playhouse Square matinee.

The small restaurant has just 2 tables and seating on stools along the windows.

The menu has items designated gluten free and the woman taking the order seemed aware of GF options and kitchen procedures. And the kitchen is open so you can watch the chef make your lunch.

Chicken soup was served piping hot with lots of chicken and an interesting touch of cinnamon. The falafel plate comes with 2 sides and I chose hummus and fries. All was really tasty.

Myself, my husband and another friend ate lunch here Sept. 28. As it was a nice day we ate outside, with a lovely river view, rose bushes in bloom yet and very pleasant overall. I was presented with a laminated gluten-free menu that contained a nice selection. Most sandwiches were available gluten-free with lettuce replacing the usual bun, which was fine. Service was very good and my meal (Cuban type sandwich but on lettuce with green beans on the side) was tasty and filling. Prices were a bit on the high side, but the value was well worth it. Afterwards we strolled the waterfront and examined the information signs detailing the area’s history. A pleasant time and I’m sure we will return. FYI In addition to a fire pit area outside, there is also a huge outdoor fireplace with comfortable seating. I can imagine that evenings here are fabulous.
