Top 33 Gluten-Free Accommodating Spots to Enjoy in South End, Halifax

Jeanette McPherson

This was our first time here and we had 2 Celiacs and one gluten free person and we were so impressed with the gf pizza and risotto balls. Crust was one of the best we have had so we ordered another one to go! Service was amazing and server was friendly and informative. Can’t wait to go back.

Went for the Nutella noodle cheesecake (March 11-5, 2025 only) and left with the peanut butter cheesecake too. Sweet Hereafter is an adorable cheesecake and coffee/tea restaurant, perfect for a date, catch up, late night dessert or to take out. It’s a ‘Ma and Pa’ business, locally owned and operated and the Pa makes all the recipes. And they have gluten free options. They’re closed on Sundays and Mondays so plan ahead. So glad it’s on my dessert choice list now!

Dinner was incredible. There is no gluten free menu but they are very accommodating.

Ate at Krave numerous times when my husband was in the hospital! Delicious food for someone who eats gluten free - love the buns!!!

Such a fun place to eat. Celiac safe (in my experience) and most of the menu can be made gf. It tends to be noisy so if you're not into that kind of thing it's something to be aware of. It's a cozy spot and the service is always top notch. Once a dish wasn't what I'd hoped and the server inquired why I wasn't eating much. I didn't want to complain but after I told them I wasn't into it they brought a free dessert after offering to replace the whole meal (I was already full so I didn't want another). The one time I didn't love what I got they more than made up for it with the service. That same day I ate a bunch of another persons pasta and theirs was excellent, I think what I had was a one off and have gone back with 0 issues since.

A quirky, fun neighbourhood coffee shop packed full of character! Decor and atmosphere were on point, and I loved every little detail. The gluten-free options were very tasty as well!

Quincy Hiscott

Always a go to, just do it you won’t regret. Excellent gluten free options as well (just ask your server)

We had gone to a different place but it wasn’t opened but then we spotted this place was opened so we went here instead - so glad we did. It smelt great from the outside and it was very cosy inside. We were welcomed by someone friendly and sat at a nice table in the window. The menu had a lot of variety and choice. Including vegetarian, gluten free, and low spice options. The person serving us was very attentive and kind. We were not too sure what something was so she got a little dish of spice from the kitchen for us. I ordered a dish I had never had before and it was so tasty and delicious! We were all asked for the spice level that we wanted and our dishes really felt like they were made for us. There was also complimentary popadoms with sauce. We enjoyed the experience and will be back! Great service.

A hidden treasure we just happened to find. Great place to meet up with friends in a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. The service was amazing, and the food was excellent. My husband has celiac, and not only did he have gluten-free choices on the menu, he really enjoyed the food. Best of all, he didn't have any negative reactions. We'll definitely be going back whenever we're on Halifax.

The interior is beautiful, romantic enough, cozy, but the light is too dim for me (but this is my subjective opinion). Location - the restaurant is located in the down town, i.e. in the city center, which, unfortunately, means the absence of its own parking lot and you have to look for it, and it is paid even on weekends. Food - not very many, in fact, menu items if we are talking about the main dishes. There are few gluten-free dishes, which, for example, was a problem for us. We had to order soup and salad because we have restrictions on the types of meat we can eat and therefore, actually, vegetarian soup is all we could order. It was delicious, I have no complaints, but it's still a pity that there is such a limited selection of gluten-free meat dishes. We ordered tea and I liked that the tea cup was warm (despite the fact that it was empty), and the tea was served separately in a teapot). Service - everything here was top notch, the girl who served us was as attentive as possible, she knew the menu and the composition of the dishes well, she could tell us what dishes we could order, taking into account the restrictions we had. But still, I deducted one star. I was out of paper towels. As always, in the restaurant there is a cloth napkin in which the cutlery is wrapped and which we put on our laps when we eat, but I cannot wipe my lips, for example, with that napkin, for this I need paper ones, but they were not on the table and no one offered . This is my humble opinion, it was uncomfortable for me. Well, the shortcomings of the menu that I wrote about above also played a role in the evaluation. And in general, I can recommend this place, we liked it.

Nestled at the Halifax waterfront amongst historical buildings, the A Mano is a beautiful Italian restaurant that serves traditional fares with great pairings of wines and the usual beers. Service is smooth overall, but we did have a small issue with a gluten-free order, which needed to be rectified. We were a group of 8 and a wide selection of food was ordered. The Schiacciata, Sgabello, Calamari Fritti were good and perfect for a chilly evening. As the main course, Quattro Carni, fresh Halibut with Shrimps, Lasagna, Lamb Shank, Seafood Stew and the Linguini were good. We were too full and ordered the share Torta Per Due cheesecake and were not disappointed . Overall, good restaurant and great vibes for a chilled dinner next to the water.

I have had the pleasure of esting at Darya twice now and both experiences were wonderful. Amazing food and great service, such a beautiful restaursnt and you can't beat the location overlooking the harbour. One thing I love about Darya is that everyone can find something to enjoy on the menu, whether you are gluten free or vegan etc you aren't just stuck eating the one option for your needs on the menu, everyone is able to choose from a variety of dishes at Darya.

Hands down the best brunch in Halifax. I’ve tried 6 of their dishes and every single one was perfect. One of my friends is celiac and the menu had so many amazing options, truly a gem.

Tario Sultan

Absolutely love this place! The staff are super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The space is big, clean, and has a great atmosphere, perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed meal. I tried the smoothie and a burrito, and both were absolutely amazing. You can really taste the freshness in every bite. Highly recommend Harvest if you’re looking for healthy (vegan, gluten free), delicious food in Halifax!

I was looking for a great cup of coffee and a bite to eat and noticed the good reviews and gluten free options. Sadly, I found the coffee underwhelming - very weak and flavorless. My GF breakfast sandwich tasted good and was delivered to the table by very personable staff but I found it to be expensive, for what it was. I also had a GF/vegan macaroon but it tasted nothing like a macaroon. It was very odd tasting making me wonder what I was ingesting. 🫢 Lastly, I wished I had not gone to the washroom; it was surprisingly dirty and did not appear to have been cleaned in a long while, a real turn off to eating there again. I thought I would like the place based on the reviews but there were just too many negatives for me.

Doreen Jardine

This is such a wonderful place. The pizza is delicious, had the Mediterranean pizza, veggies so fresh. My sister is gluten intolerant and said their gluten free crust one of the best. We'll be back again. 😁🍕

What a great place! Delicious food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. As a bonus they had lots of gluten free options and seemed knowledgeable about cleaning procedures to minimize cross-contamination. I will definitely come again!
