Gluten-free treats- two if by sea

A couple years after graduating from college, my best friend and I quit our jobs, bought Eurorail passes, and headed to Europe clutching our dog-eared copies of Rick Steves Europe Through the Back Door. She was fluent in Spanish and I was fluent in approximately four utterly useless French words. I was fully prepared to struggle to communicate in non-Spanish speaking countries but the real challenge ended up being culinary culture shock. I was from Idaho, raised on meatloaf, bologna sandwiches and Hamburger Helper.  At the time I had not developed  food intolerances or allergies and was free to eat whatever seemed appealing which turned out to be a lot of chicken fried rice from a variety of Chinese restaurants dotting European cities, fresh baked goods, and Snickers bars.

Keep It Simple (and gluten-free) Stupid.

There is something magical about waking up in a hotel bed knowing there is nothing scheduled and no work to be done. Meals will be prepared by someone else and enjoying the scenery on a ferry ride will by my biggest hardship. Gawd, I love vacation.

After lazing about basking in responsibility-free bliss and scrolling through Facebook, it became obvious that breakfast was not going to be served in bed. With that cruel reality, I threw my hair in a messy bun and headed out in search of a life altering gluten-free breakfast. The Victorian Hotel provides a European breakfast - artisan breads (not gluten-free), jam and coffee - for hotel guests. Shawn and I skipped the packed eating area and headed straight for Acme Café located a short walk away in the Paris block. Thanks to Yelp and the hotel's free wifi we were able to map out suitable breakfast spots prior to setting out on foot.
