Dinner on your own: SPAGHETTERIA

Spaghetteria is a pasta bar that serves fresh homemade pasta prepared in a traditional Italian way. Take a seat at the large wooden dinnertable in the middle or at the window bar. You can choose between 6 dishes that change frequently and are available with glutenfree pasta upon request. This is a great place to have dinner on your own or with a friend. It can be busy, but it's worth the wait. Nice Italian wines.

Lunch on your own: BAGELS & BEANS

It's a chain that doesn't want to be a chain and they manage pretty well. At Bagels & Beans you can stop for breakfast, lunch or an afternoon tapas. They serve great coffee, chai latte and fresh juices. You can choose from different kinds of bagels, among which is a glutenfree one and an oathie bagel without wheat. My current favourite is the glutenfree Tuscany bagel with walnut-honey creamcheese. Enjoy their free WIFI.
