Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in British Columbia

Nikita Crane

I’d avoid the GF bun it’s very dry and crumbly but they the most celiac safe place I know! Dedicated fryers, very knowledgeable staff and amazing GF fried chicken! When you order online they even have a celiac option to check off.

The beer was good. The service was good. Unfortunately the food was not good. We came for the gluten free fish and chips. They were heavily deep fried and over cooked with a tiny thin layer of fish. Worst fish ever. The calamari was good and fried well so why was the fish over done? They did remove the charge but dinner was a disappointment.

Not celiac safe. Cross contamination.

Matt

Celiac friendly bar. Dedicated fryer for gluten free with lots of options. Nice layouts for sports viewing in the bar area and indoor picnic table seating area. Also an indoor games corner and outdoor seating area

Teale D

Great all around. We came here as we had a celiac in the group and almost everything on the menu was gf. Everything was delicious, big menu, great desserts, and our server was very nice.

Livia G

One of the few restaurants my celiac boyfriend still trusts. However, he got sick 2 times by the cross-contamination. They are not the most careful staff so you have to make sure they understand how severe your celiac disease is and explain to them NO CROSS CONTAMINATION NO GLUTEN and they're usually pretty good. Also good with take outs

Skipper

Acacia was an amazing waitress! Best service I’ve had. They were also super friendly about our parties gluten restrictions. Also super kind with our kids, even though we all know how messy they can be.

Nikita Crane

dedicated fryers perfect for wing Wednesday and beer

Aaron Wilmshurst

Came in for breakfast on a big pow day which kept the number of customers down which was nice. Staff were only too happy to cater for non gluten eater well as a picky eating child. Food was hot and tasty and the drinks were warm and comforting. Would recommend.

Jeanie Morton

This was such an amazing experience! They were so willing with work with my celiac! They had so many gluten free options and the staff were so knowledgeable!! Definitely a repeat!!

Jess Gunn

LOVED the food here! I am celiac and they were able to really cater to gluten free options. I got the beef taco bowl with the dirty rice and it was delicious!! I also didn't get sick so I would reccomend this place to other celiacs. Our server was really lovely and friendly, and she helped to explain the menu and how different items could be altered for me. I didn't get her name, but she is from Germany and I'd love for The Taco Club to know what an excellent job she does! Highly recommend!!

Lily Clerf

Weather you are Vegan or Vegetarian or neither, like me, this restaurant is an amazing experience accompanied by awesome food. As someone with Celiac Disease they are extremely accommodating. They even have their own Gluten-Free fryer so all can experience there incredible Chickpea Fries. I recommend this restaurant to anybody looking for a wonderful meal!

Jenna Francis

I’m Celiac and they used clean pans for me and was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable about cross contamination and how to keep me safe. Very happy with service.

Melanie Mitton

Red Robins, Kamloops has the best gluten free buns of any burger place I have been to. I never feel deprived for having food sensitivities at this restaurant. We also recently had part of our daughters birthday party here and Jordanne (server) and Nyree (Manager) were so accommodating. The kids menu has so much choice, the bottomless drinks are a hit, and the hot cookie to go always makes the visit for my kids. Thank you for such a great visit.

Sarah

The server was wonderful and made sure that my food came out gluten free. I have celiac and I feel very comfortable eating here. I'm thoroughly impressed with my entire experience.

Elizabeth Howlett

Excellent servers, so helpful and friendly! Our daughter has Celiac and enjoyed the steak and chicken fajitas - they were very accommodating of her allergy and said that almost all of their menu can be gluten free! Everything was delicious!

Sarah Nicholson

As a celiac, this place was easy to share plates (something we don't often get to do with our friends and family). Loved all the GF options on the menu and the variety. Food was so delicious.

RIZZO 250

Really nice place to relax with a few drinks. Didn't have any food as we had just come from a café but we did get a flight and oh my god. I need to go back to get more if that blueberry basil. Until I do it will stay in my dreams, Highly recommend checking it out. They had indoor outdoor seating. Their menu had things marked as Gluten Free although since we didn't order im not sure if they have a designated fryer or not. Thankyou for the wonderful service staff, you were all so nice 😊

Alexis Green

Great service, great ambiance. Make a reservation by phone early to get a table. The lounge takes walk ins but fills on busy nights. It's busy but still really good. For those not from the area, The Keg is a well-known mid-higher-end steakhouse chain with consistently good food and locations. Braxton is the most attentive server me and my friends have ever had, while somehow not seeming stressed or worried. They accommodated our requests for keeping gluten separate on so many things and a manager came out to make sure it was all planned and done okay. Thanks so much for a great night out with great food! The french onion soup never disappoints for the rich umami. Can also recommend the mushrooms neptune. Check out the dessert menu too. I always ask for it at the same time as the regular menu so I can plan my meals out. Next time I will get less savoury and leave room for a Billy Miner Pie of ice cream cake style (from memory). Cola was refillable, which I appreciate.

Simrit Baljot

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!

Steph Metcalf

Amazing food and service, and they accommodated food allergies (celiac disease) so well!

brooklyn hendry

We had a wonderful experience thanks to our server, Erin. She was incredibly kind and friendly, making us feel right at home. Erin went out of her way to ensure we had celiac-friendly options, demonstrating genuine care for our dietary needs. Her attentiveness and warm demeanor truly made our visit special. We left feeling valued and well taken care of!

R.

Pretty good portion on the dosas if you get their Dosa of the day. I like the lamb on Tuesdays. Pretty fast at in-between times (non-dinner time) when they are quite empty. The dosa is probably gluten-friendly but you might want to ask if other ingredients inside it are gluten-friendly too.

Sally Whibley

The food was great! Ocean view on a quiet golf course setting. Most restaurants only offer a few gluten free options and charge extra. Off the Hook has a full gluten free menu so it doesn’t limit my choices. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Thanks Cori for a great evening!

Elizabeth Howlett

Best dinner we had in Whistler! Try the wagu beef sushi, delicious! Our daughter with Celiac had several options to choose from that were gluten free. Everything we tried was great, the atmosphere was perfect and the servers friendly.

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

Jeremy Scott

This place is one of the best restaurants we've been to in a while. Everything we had was fantastic: Beef tenderloin carpaccio, smoked chicken penne, pan seared miso halibut, blackened creole chicken. My wife has celiac and they have a lot of options. The gluten free penne was probably the best GF pasta she has tried. We also had a few cocktails and they were all well made. Earl Grey Martini was a stand out for me. Our server was very nice and accommodating as well and service was very fast.

Abi Woodbury

Always so nice and have amazing gluten free options that actually taste amazing :)

F G

Not celiac safe like they say they are. Had a very bad reaction after eating here. The manager is also rude and condescending. Save your money and go literally anywhere else. One of the lower scores restaurants in the area, lower than old spaghetti factory and that’s saying a lot!

Henna Dua

I had SOME expectations when coming here for a date night with my husband. Extremely disappointing. We sat down near the bar, and quickly realized how suffocating the area was. Our waiter, who didn't introduce himself, turned it on just after we asked why the air was so dense. The waiter, who never introduced himself by the way, offered no timely service. We had longbreaks between drinks appetizers and main course. He was standing just near the bar so he could see We had empty glasses and plates, but there was lack of interest. Then came time to order the main course and I was asked which sauces I'd like with my fries. I chose truffle and it cost me extra without me knowing I was purchasing some additions. Appetizers, we got the fritters which was pretty good! But the gluten burger was just mediocre. When it came to the bill, the waiter pressurized us to stop eating and make the payment. I have seen this before in other restaurants but waiters are very careful when disrupting a meal to get a payment thru. I dont recommend this place simply because the owner doesn't seem to be around so the waiter seems to think he doesn't need to do his job. There was one female waiter as well(dont know her namw), but just to be clear she was the only good thing about this restaurant. She was kind, responsive, and showed some interest. If this place stays afloat it's due to the appetizers and the nice young lady who picked up the slack.

Jess Gunn

We came here for breakfast and I am celiac, and had the French toast with berries. It was delicious and I didn't get sick! So many items on the menu can be substituted for gluten free bread. I was very impressed and would recommend to other celiacs!!

The cocktails are also outstanding, with unique, well-crafted drinks that pair perfectly with the dishes. Overall, The Acorn offers an unforgettable dining experience that will leave you eager to return.

Delicious food, great service and a really positive energetic vibe. IMO, this is the best place for dinner in Sooke. The food was fresh and there were vegan and gluten free options. Portion sizes and prices were very reasonable for the delicious food we got. We will be back again, the next time we're visiting Sooke!!!

C D

cheap food, cheap drinks, lots of gluten free options, looks like it's stuck in time, I loved it and would absolutely come back

amina parveen

One of the healthiest delicious middle eastern food I have had in a while! I was a bit hesitant to visit due to mixed reviews here and I am so happy I listened to my instincts and visited this gem of a restaurant today. The service and food was beyond incredible! The restaurant is so cozy and spacious. Ample street parking available and my sister has celiac allergy for diary and gluten, so we were also able to get customized food based on her restrictions.

Midori Frisk

Rice bowls are surprisingly good and also gluten free (celiac safe)

Jason Ng

We came around lunch and had a great experience. Our server was wonderful — super friendly, great with the kids, and really took the time to make us feel welcome. They were also very knowledgeable and accommodating about celiac, offering plenty of gluten-free options without any hesitation. The food was delicious across the board, and the patio was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the meal. We’ll definitely be back!

Nevin Shoker

My family and I had a great experience. With the exception of root beer, there was something on the menu for all of us. A lot of gluten free options as well as Vegan and plant based. Good healthy and delicious options as well. And then there was the burgers that were very satisfying. Really nice restaurant. Option of sitting where it's quiet or in the lounge where there's a great social vibe going on.

Tamara Grzegocki

Good selection of games, and the gluten free options were great!

Hank Warhead

Our server Kaitlin was very nice and accommodated our gluten free request! The seafood linguine was very good too. Lobster was a little tasteless but the salmon and shrimp was delicious. Nice atmosphere too, would go again!!

Justin Watson

Gluten free options weren't labelled on the menu but when I talked to the server about it she was confident in what options could be made gluten free. Food was good and staff were great help in managing my allergy.

Theresa Dafoe

Decided on a whim to try this place while visiting my mom. Mom is in a wheelchair and requires allergy-friendly options. We were pleasantly surprised to find several allergy-friendly foods including fries, which are fried in a separate fryer from seafood and also separate for gluten-free dishes. Our server, Julie was fantastic and had great recommendations. Highly recommended! Ps. Try the Wagyu Beef Ravioli! Delicious.

Conor S

Their menu is great and has numerous options for gluten free people, vegans and vegetarians. A great balance of options and then all the other good stuff too!

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!

Aaron Cruikshank

Great food. Great decor. Very gluten sensitivity friendly. The place is very clean. The staff are very friendly. 100% recommend to anyone visiting the area.

catherine heith

Great place for those with celiac disease or a gluten allergy. I received GF bread and many of the dishes are or can be made GF. They have GF appetizers, pasta, risotto and GF dessert. The service was great.

chloe kf

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

manny gill

We just went here as they are safe for people with celiac and the staff was amazing. Will come back!!! Food was great.

Richard Earnshaw

pizza. Italian, thin crust, gluten free, with mushrooms. awesome

Vladislav Semenov

Food is solid, and the service is great. Dishes are a tad bit pricey, but overall, the place is a vibe. The gluten-free options are good, and gluten-free dessert is fantastic.
