Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Ottawa

Fiona Clydesdale

Had a really lovely meal here sharing GF pasta and GF pizza. Amazing pizza base! Servers very aware and aware of CC.

Clementine Beaud

The gluten-free eggs Benedict was okay, but nothing special. The service was really slow, and the server wasn't very clear about what contained gluten and what didn't, but luckily her colleague was.

I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant. I was in the area for business and stopped here for dinner. I ordered the mahi mahi fish entree and it was arguably one of the best meals of my life. The service is very quick, professional and outstanding. What impressed me the most was the attention and care they take when preparing and serving meals for gluten-free (GF) diners like me. They can prepare must dishes GF upon request. Seldom have I witnessed such attention to detail with precautions taken. The GF cheesecake dessert was something to die for. I want to travel back to Kanata merely to dine at this location. Thank you Moxie's!

This is our go to restaurant when we want a good meal. The food is always consistently delicious and the staff is incredibly friendly. This time I brought my mom and aunt who were visiting from out of town. They could not stop raving about how delicious the food was and most notably how wonderful and sweet our server, Summer, was. Summer went above and beyond to make sure all of my aunt's food and drinks were safe as my aunt has Celiac disease. We will definitely be back again next time they are in town. Thanks for another great evening ❤️🙂

Best Keg location in town! Great celiac friendly food as always and amazing service!

Gordon Chandler

Just having arrived back home from a long work trip, I took the family to Moxie's for a fun night out. Kids loved the atmosphere and the server and managers made our stay welcoming and warm. Outstanding food also. Had the blackened shrimp tacos and my wife had the crispy chicken sandwich (her fave). Kids are well also and they were able to accommodate my son's gluten intolerance and the manager even came out to ensure we were satisfied with their solutions. Definitely going back for date night!

Michelle Bradshaw

Very knowledgeable staff, took care to make sure we were comfortable with the gluten free preparation and food.

Kyle Anderson

Serving staff were friendly and able to cater to both our dietary preferences. Notably were able to cater to my partner’s gluten free diet without any issues! Great atmosphere and welcoming environment. Recommend the thali and dosai dishes!

Hamont Reviewer

Positives: Friendly staff and convenient location: The staff at Browns Socialhouse in downtown Ottawa were friendly and welcoming. The location was easy to get to from our hotel. Delicious food: The food was very good, especially the burger (made with gluten-free ingredients!), tuna poke bowl, and fish and chips. Areas for Improvement: Flat beverages: Unfortunately, the fountain pop was flat, and they only had bottled drinks available. The server mentioned they have recurring problems with this. Similarly, the beer on tap was also flat, which was a letdown. Gluten-free communication: I called the restaurant beforehand to inquire about gluten-free options. I was informed they have dedicated fryers for gluten-free items. However, upon arrival, the menu descriptions seemed to contradict this. It would be helpful if the menu could be more accurate regarding gluten-free options to avoid any confusion for future diners with dietary restrictions. Overall: Browns Socialhouse has the potential to be a great spot with its friendly staff and delicious food. However, some improvements in beverage service and menu accuracy, particularly regarding gluten-free options, would enhance the dining experience.

My Americano was hot 🔥, fresh, and tasty. The gluten-free scone I had was delicious !!!

Jessica D

Great place to go with a mix of people when you have dietary restrictions in the group. They have vegan and gluten free options that are super delicious! Their drink menu is also great, they are always changing things up to have different food and drink options, you can go all the time and still have new things to try.

Gluten free club sandwich and a milkshake, awesome

Carolyne Bjerring

I recently hosted a surprise party for my mom at this restaurant, and I can't say enough about how wonderful the experience was! The service was top-notch, and the food was absolutely delicious. The canapés were perfectly timed, and the bottle of bubbly was ready as soon as my mom arrived. A special shoutout to Maddie, our server, who went above and beyond. She spoke French fluently, which was a huge plus for our francophone guests. Maddie treated us like family, ensured that our gluten-intolerant guests had the right food, and even served my mom’s wine in a special glass she had for her 60th birthday. When my mom accidentally left the glass behind, Maddie kept it safe until she could come back for it. Everything was just perfect. A big thank you to the team for making the event so memorable!

Alexandra Ng

Very good value for money. They have a 15 dollar breakfast buffet until 1 pm on the weekends. Gluten friendly options as well as veg and vegan!

Ron Turley

I have been here before and liked it. Note that they do not serve brunch on Saturday. We ordered sandwiches: one BLT, three clubs. The food arrived in batches, with a couple of minutes in between, a bit annoying. The others came before mine and looked great, made with large bread and stuffed with ingredients. I ordered gluten free bread, which turned out to be a not so appetizing hamburger bun. This might have been expected five or six years ago, but there are some great gluten free breads now. It was more difficult to eat as they tried to stuff the same amount of fixings into a smaller area. So, if you are gluten free, I would suggest ordering something that is not a sandwich. As to the atmosphere, it is awfully dark in the area where they have the washrooms. Maybe because we were eating outside and it was bright. Coming inside, I was almost blind.

We just hosted our parents 50th Anniversary in their private lounge area - it went so smoothly, the food was delicious, service was spectacular and our young children even loved the restaurant. They even had many gluten free options. We would no doubt make a return soon. Thanks again.

Michelle Miller

Love this place! Parm fries and smoked jerk wings were fantastic. Partner loves their coffee too. We plan to be regulars! (Selected menu items are Celiac safe too!)

Naomi C

It was our first time at Juluca's and we were so happy with the food! We went specifically because there was a review that the gluten free pizza was the best they had ever had- and I agree! I got the gluten free Hawaiian and it was amazing. New spot for pizza for sure! My partner got a regular pizza and loved it!

Steve S

I have been coming to The Manx for 10 years and it has always been the perfect neighborhood pub. The kitchen provides gluten free and vegetarian options even though the menu is small. Portions are reasonable, but quality is always excellent. The front of house staff is welcoming, friendly, and makes sure you're happy. They did a bit of a refresh, although, it's barely noticeable, just feels fresher. The only true disappointment is the poster in the men's bathroom is gone. I feel like they ripped out a kidney, it's surviving, but it's not whole.

Adam Wooldridge

What an Epic Brewery Pub, nestled in the Heart of Carp, ON. Prices are fair, portion are Large. They make the Beer on site. Also noticed many Gluten Free options available. Our server was Excellent. Can't wait to visit again.

Jordyn Ham

One of the best "third places" in Ottawa. I have spent countless hours here with friends, doing school work or reading. Prices are great, limited gluten free options (but great options that surpass the usual cafe).

Steph Levac

Staff are knowledgeable about celiac. Alex - my server was so thorough when going through the menu with me and so thoughtful to check in and make sure I was feel good when we were paying up and getting ready to leave. A++ service

Alejandro Aspinwall

I recently visited Sidedoor and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was great, with beautiful decor and lighting. The service was top-notch, with our server Steph being very friendly, personable, and accommodating to my allergies. She even went out of her way to get a gluten-free/dairy-free dessert from the eighteen kitchen! The food was absolutely delicious, with a great presentation and attention to detail. The fusion menu was very interesting and unique, and I loved every dish we ordered. The value was also fair and reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food and service. I highly recommend Sidedoor for anyone looking for a great dining experience in the Byward Market. Thank you to the entire team for an amazing evening!

Annaliese Cassidy

I have Celiac Disease and eating at restaurants makes me quite nervous as I am sensitive even to cross-contamination. I have been to your restaurant twice now and had the pleasure of being served by Haley both times. She has been fantastic. She is knowledgeable about ingredients, understanding with respect to cross contamination and very willing to adapt. I will absolutely continue to dine at your restaurant and will specifically be requesting to sit in Haley’s section. Please pass along my gratitude to her for giving me confidence to enjoy dinner out without fear of illness.

M. Lepage

Delicious gluten-free Donair pizza. Can't wait to go back!

Kala Gray

We are so lucky to live within walking distance is this adorable and delicious wine bar. We have date nights here super often because they have endless options for Gluten allergies plus have great wine selections! It’s a great place for a nice date night or get the booth for a nice group of friends!

Attentive server, delicious food, and clean, comfortable interior. Had a gluten free Mexican breakfast burrito which came with a huge basket of gluten free tater tots! Friends ordered French toast and it was delish.

Kiki Maya

As a passionate foodie, I can confidently say that this establishment stands unparalleled in all of Ontario and Quebec for its exceptional accommodation and attention to detail. Being allergic to meat and gluten intolerant often makes dining out a daunting task, but the meticulous attention and care provided here transformed my experience into a delightful indulgence. Everything was delicious. From the appetizer to dessert. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. The valet and doorman extended a warm and gracious welcome, setting the tone for the evening. The host greeted us with genuine hospitality, and our servers were not only courteous but also remarkably attentive to our needs. Their professionalism and dedication elevated our dining experience to one of sheer luxury. The ambiance exuded sophistication, and every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure comfort and elegance. It’s rare to find a place where inclusivity meets opulence so seamlessly. I am eagerly anticipating my next visit, this time with my entire family, to share in this extraordinary culinary haven. Thank you very much!

Pour Boy is a small and quaint pub with a casual and homey atmosphere. My friends and I shared a drink there before a show at the Bronson center, which was only a 9 minute walk away. The food was tasty, satisfying portions for a great price. I had the brie and avocado sandwich with a Caesar salad and was not disappointed! Lots of fun craft beer options to try. My partner was well accommodated as there were lots of meal options/substitutions for his gluten sensitivity, although they make it clear that there is a risk of cross contamination. They serve Gutenberg beer so he could enjoy a few drinks too. Overall a great experience in a simple little Ottawa pub.

Florence Garceau

We went to the escape games and did expect much of the restaurant (though it was gonna be bar type style foods like burgers & deep fried things) but got amazingly surprised. Got the salmon and it was the perfect balance of salty pesto and sweet corn. Well cooked and very fresh! Staff was also very kind and friendly! My only recommendation would be to add a gluten free dessert like a creme brûlée would have fitted well with the menu.😬

Fredy

A really hip spot in Chinatown to have a coffee and a treat. Coffee is pretty good and they do gluten free desserts if you're into that. You can also wash your clothes in the back as this place doubles as a laundromat if you are also into that. It won't work with money though so don't bother asking. Seating is plenty though not the most comfortable. Can get a little tight when the place is packed. Their gf brownies are pretty tight! The staff are really nice and overall the place has a good young vibe but it's also a place for aging Gen X'rs to come chill as the eddies hit. Not that I know anything about that. The end.

I recently tried Persis Grill and it was a great experience. The staff were incredibly helpful when we mentioned our need for gluten-free options. The food itself was absolutely delicious, fresh and authentic.

Nat Ruffo

Went for lunch only had breakfast on Sunday but that's OK. Had gluten free options , large place lots of space

Andrea Mailhot

Beautiful atmosphere. Would love to go back and sit on the patio. The pizza (gluten free) was amazing.

Lisa Balko

I customized my burger and they gave me exactly what I asked for "fist full of bacon" Best service, always great. If I could post a pic I would Gluten dairy free...

Becky Curchy

Great beers, great menu, great music, great service. ‘Nuff said! Glutenberg beer available most of the time if you are wheat or gluten intolerant. Lots of choices for their brews for those who are not. I loved my kale salad with salmon and hubby loved his smoked sausages w/ basil dill pesto and seasoned potato wedges. Outside seating is nice, but on the parking lot.

Visited last night. Overall, we enjoyed our meals. However: it was very loud (in general, not due to music) and we all had trouble hearing each other from one end of the table to the other (two tables pulled together). The waitress seemed distracted/bothered and/or couldn't hear us herself and twice missed something that was requested. Ordered a lemon drop martini ($14!!!) and the glass was about 3/4 full, almost like someone had taken a sip or two before it was served, and the stem of the glass was sticky. All of our food was lukewarm instead of hot. For the women, there was only one bathroom with only two stalls, and one was out of order, causing lineups of 3 people or more at times. And finally, there was nothing on the menu to indicate which meals were gluten-free except for mentioning that gluten-free buns were available for burgers. The waitress didn't know either. We were surprised that something that simple was left off the menu; there were spots for alcohol-free items on the menu, but nothing to show what was gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan. The food was tasty though and we all particularly enjoyed the whipped feta with sundried tomato pesto appetizer, but it needed another naan with it as we had cheese left over; We wound up eating the rest of the cheese with our utensils.

Really friendly and great gluten free breaded wings.

Thank you to the managers and staff for making my partner's surprise 60th party a more than memorable event. We had vegan, gluten-free and regular diners in our party of 12. The food was delicious, the service was fantastic and a special thanks for letting us bring in something special for our party -- above and beyond. I was surprised that the bill for all of us was less than I expected. We will be back, and will tell everyone about you! Thanks again!

Cam Ford

My wife and I went for date night here and we were not disappointed. We were told it would be about a 20 minute wait to be seated and the staff were extremely accommodating and said we could sit at the bar and get drinks while we waited. Upon ordering our drinks my wife realized that she had ordered a wine she had tried previously that she did not like. Once we were seated promptly to a table my wife asked if she could exchange her glass of wine for one she knew she liked. Shortly after the manager arrived at our table. She was friendly, warm, and exchanged my wife’s glass of wine for another wine she enjoyed. I cannot stress enough just how great the managers presence was. On top of the outstanding service; Kelsey’s has truly elevated the quality of their food. And they accommodated my wife who was still able to enjoy the famous spinach dip with corn chips because she’s gluten free. We will most definitely go back to this location.

Amanda ST.LOUIS

Had my daughter’s engagement party upstairs with 50 people! Friends and family had a blast. The kitchen manager Clark went above by accommodating my gluten allergy. Robyn Kailin and Gage on the bar kept us all well hydrated! Can’t wait for our next party here!!

David Collins

We enjoyed it so much the first night, we went back afsjn the next night. Those two night, Thu & Fri, there was live music. Nachos the first night and salmon salad the next night. Both were very good. Unfortunately, they were the only gluten-free options I could find on the menu. There is a huge variety of whiskey. Since they had a half-shot available, I tried a couple. Moce

Amazing service, really gluten free friendly, many options and staff was super cool!

Mitchell Singer

Great food and service. My girlfriend is celiac and was so easily accommodated! And with a smile

Dave Arnett

Went to eat there on a Saturday before going to watch the hockey game. Food was great, the waitress was absolutely fantastic. My wife has a gluten issue and ordered the burger. The waitress was quick to point out that some ingredients weren't gluten free, and she offered to make sure that it was made with gluten free ingredients. We were both amazed that she wound do this. Unfortunately I can't remember her name but she was awesome, great job to her.
