Top 50 Gluten-Free Accommodating Spots to Enjoy in Central Vancouver

This is a completely unprecedented gluten-free haven. The last time I had a gluten free pizza, it was getting close to 40$ for one small one. Here, I paid 20$ and could hardly finish it I was so full (and I'm 150 KG). Loaded with flavour and protein, and as a bonus it was keto. I had a gluten-free keto tiramisu, and it was everything you could possibly ask for from a tiramisu. Perfect. This place is a must-see for anyone following a gluten free, keto, or really any alternative diet. As a celiac of 16 years, this place has my blessing.

BEST gluten free bread I’ve ever had! It was a soft, fluffy focaccia and as a celiac, I actually had to double check with the server that it was GF. We stopped here for happy hour before meeting friends for dinner and I am so glad we did! The staff accommodated our large group on the patio with ease, drinks were great and the food was amazing! We will definitely be back!

Nice food - kind of a more fancy place but really worth a visit. They have a separate fryer for gf fries and servers are aware of contamination, although the risk is still there. Really nice gf molten lava cake for dessert

Server was wonderful - very knowledgeable about the menu and the wines. I got a gluten free pizza that was pretty terrible, probably the worst one I've gotten in a restaurant actually- the crust was thin and chewy, not in a good way; it was like a frozen pizza. The ceaser salad had polenta croutons that were good but there was only like 4 of them total. I felt safe as a celiac and there was lots of GF stuff on the menu to try, but definitely avoid the pizza. (If you want good GF pizza in the area go across the street to Per Se, it's the best I've ever had!) I would come back to try the other options though.

Phenomenal pizza, very friendly service, gf has celiac allergy, restaurant takes proper care in minimizing cross contamination, the gluten-free crust was delicous, highly recommend. However, they are very busy. When booking a reservation, it is at least a week beforehand if you are trying to go on Friday/Saturday.

Came here with my girlfriend for lunch and Jody was absolutely wonderful. Treated us with so much kindness and had so much patience for my gluten free diet. Above all, her energy was magnetic - she was an absolute pleasure. I would come back just because of her!

Jo Munro

If your gluten or dairy free and want some poutine this is the place. So tasty, great value and quick service. I got the vegan and gf poutine.

Hubby and I (from Australia) began our Canadian holiday with a New Year's dinner at Cardero's. Although jet lagged as we had arrived that morning, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. It was made extra special by our friendly and professional server, Katy. The food was incredible. We had the prawn cocktail and BBQ ribs as appetisers, and both were divine. We then had the signature salmon and beef tenderloin for mains and finished with the most silky and creamy peanut butter cheesecake. It was also decorated with happy anniversary for our 10th wedding anni. Katy helped me with matching wines, and this was much appreciated. We tried ice wine for the first time, and we're addicted. Menu is incredibly gluten friendly. What a delectable dinner to start our Canadian food adventures!

Our server was amazing and food was to die for - gluten free or not, best pasta and selection in the area! Would HIGHLY recommend :-) Thank you Trevor for hooking us up!

Alyssa Clayton

Tom was amazing. I have celiac disease and he answered all my questions, advised me what to avoid and double checked with the chef to make sure every thing was safe. Felt very comfortable eating here, will definitely go back. Great service and great food

Matthew R

Very serious caffeine. And when you combine it with doughnuts it’s an unbeatable combination. They even have some gluten-free varieties.

M Wi

Polite service. Good selection, including gluten-free options. A good concept for a chain.

abby scott

kiona was our server on a date night and we have nothing but amazing things to say about her!! She was sooooo accommodating to our gluten allergy and just all around a friendly, positive, and helpful person. I would come back JUST to have Kiona as my server.

Had the BLT bagel it was stacked with bacon and great value, DELICIOUS! Loved the mayo/sauces and guac it had on it! Espresso drinks have minimal sweetness which is nice. Quite impressed with the food and drink I enjoyed here today. Also loved the gluten free options. The service was wonderful. Looking forward to summer mornings on the patio with my dogs. Will definitely be back again and again!

Amazing service, ambiance & food! Accommodated gluten free so well! Very cozy! Great drinks also!

Phenomenal Italian food. The seafood risotto is out of this world. Add to the fact this restaurant has many gluten free options this is truly a hidden gem of Vancouver

Aislinn Flanagan

I’ve always loved coming here. Today was probably my 6th-8th visit, and I can say with confidence that Hello Nori is very consistent. The yellowtail hand roll with Shiso leaf added is my favourite. The by the glass sake options are great and they all pair well with the rolls. Lisa was my server today and she was excellent. She checked in lots and made sure that the chef was aware of my gluten intolerance. Gold star for Hello Nori, I will be back!

Have been missing Red Robins since they closed all their Alberta locations! If you have any food restrictions, don't look at their allergen menu online, just ask your server. I have celiac and it was showing almost everything to have gluten, even the beef burger patties. Luckily that was not the actual case! Server was knowledgeable about what sauces and ingredients had gluten, and shared that fries can be made in a dedicated gluten free fryer. My meal also came out with the purple allergen stick. I do however have to take stars off for the physical aspects of the location...menu had several sticky spots, carpet looked filthy and sticky, bathroom floors were even stickier! Very unappealing and makes you wonder about the cleanliness of the kitchen. We were in a booth and the back of the seat would move from both sides, uncomfortable when people are sitting on both sides and it kept moving! Service was also quite slow, especially considering it was lunchtime on a weekday and there were not many other customers present

Jo Munro

If you have allergies or restrictions these guys take it seriously. I got the vegan mozzarella as gluten free and they made it out the back to be safe which I really appreciated. Tasted good for a gluten free pizza.

Christopher Fairhurst

Our turbulent first night in Vancouver with hotel issues was saved by the Cactus Club Cafe. We missed our booking due to the issues, but we were helped by great staff who told us we could sit at the bar to eat. The bartenders were amazing, the drinks excellent and the food was amazing with great options for vegan and gluten free. Highly recommended.

Pathum Kodikara

Mount Everest Kitchen & Grill in Vancouver is a hidden gem serving up bold Nepalese, Indian, and Indo-Chinese flavors. Their momos are a must-try, and the lamb curry packs just the right heat! With vegan and gluten-free options, plus friendly service, this spot is perfect for a flavorful feast.

Sukhsimar Dhaliwal

This place is a must visit. Amazing customer service, delicious food with gluten free and vegan options. They have something for everyone. We tried the french toast, tapioca wrap and pancakes. The drinks were amazing too.

The best vegan and gluten free cake I've ever had. Honestly hands down one of the best cakes I've ever had. Reasonably priced, easy to order on line for pick up or delivery. 100% my new go to for work celebrations.

Kyla Ragan

I really enjoyed the service here. The waiter and manager were both wonderful. The food was delicious and fun to try something different on a plant based diet. Had lots of selection for vegan and gluten free.

Madeline Dawson

Food is excellent and lots of gluten free options. I had the turmeric spinach dish and ginger rice. Absolutely amazing!!!! So happy this came up on Atly! :)

Angela Fish

We enjoyed a gluten-free meal while visiting in Vancouver. We were happy to have so many GF options for my boys to choose from. They offered GF rotini and gnocchi, and any sauce was an option except for alfredo. My boys had never tried carbona before, so they were eager to give it a go. Despite a hiccup with not getting all of our drinks before our meal arrived and smelling cigarette smoke from folks walking by outside on the sidewalk since the garage door windows in the front were open (I'm very sensitive to smoke), we had a nice meal and thought the food was delicious.

If you’re a coeliac, do not bother. All the “gluten free” food is touching other non-gluten free foods and was really disappointing to hear they don’t keep any separate or individually wrapped to keep them safe. Little bit of attitude from the workers when I asked. Upset because of how delicious it all looked after going out specifically to try this place :(

endlessdream83

Fantastic food with lots of flavor and spice, but not so much spice as to obliterate your tastebuds! And you cannot beat the prices 👍 also very helpful with easy to see vegan/gluten-free options

Craig P

Such a lovely atmosphere, great pasta and really pleasant and helpful staff. My wife is a coeliac so cannot eat normal pasta, so this was substituted with gluten free potato gnocchi (which she chose to have the Pomodoro sauce) which she loved. I had the tortellini gorgonzola that was superb. We finished off with flour free chocolate cake and gelato, only $10.95 each. Would highly recommend Zefferellis.

Ashley Alexis

Great spot for breakfast. Portions are massive! The food was good and Susan’s service was excellent! One thing to note is there are no gluten free hashbrowns or potatoes. Sad times for me.

Yo Ru

Probably great for people with no dietary restrictions. Came here as a celiac with a vegan friend, both ended up with questionable plates. Struggled to find appropriate items in the menu. I said gluten free for an allergy, got told the wasabi on my plate has gluten so they put it on the edge. Vegan friend struggled to find anything suitable, ended up with a lot of egg in his order. Nice pictures of food, no way to ensure the safety of the order. Nice vibes. If you want to be sure of your dietary needs and you have transport then I recommend my favourite, Loku Sushi in East Van. They’re small but you know what you’re getting.

DJ Shaw

A great pub, great selection of drinks, incisions a gluten free beer. The Jambalaya was excellent, highly recommended

Ariana Arrue

We got gluten free w vegan mozzarella, and if you eat this way- you know the ingredients can be hit or Miss at Some places… THIS is your gluten free pizza place!! SO Delicious I would go back in a heartbeat.

Jemma Lee

First time here was a great experience. Nice atmosphere and window views, wonderful service from Kurtis, menu has a great selection of food, the burgers are really good, as well as the prawn laksa curry and chipotle mango chicken, some nice gluten free options! I hope one day they can have a gluten conscious option for the Chicken Madeira Rigatoni because it’s the best pasta of all time. They also have happy hour on a Friday night! Can’t wait to come back!

Jessica Kalynchuk

Delicious food, gluten free too!

Madeline Dawson

Amazing gluten free options and can let kitchen know of celiac. Had gluten free, dairy free fish n chips and the whole plate is amazing! 10/10

Sanjana Lealh

We ordered a gluten-free dessert, but it contained gluten, causing my friend to become very ill. If you have a gluten allergy, please avoid eating here.

Do not come here if you have an allergy. I am not picky when it comes to food but I very clearly stated that I had a gluten allergy and within 5 minutes I was extremely sick. The waiter made it seem like it was my fault and denied any chance of cross contamination, even though I was actively getting sick. I was offered my plate for free afterwards which was kind, and I apologize to much of the wait staff that was friendly, it was a very busy night and I understand it was stressful but this was not an enjoyable dining experience nonetheless.
