Top 20 Gluten-Free Beer Havens Across Toronto

KM

My husband has celiac and so we never eat anywhere that is 100% GF. I had read great reviews online about Riz’s and when we were there on a trip I pushed for us to go and try it. I am so glad I did, every dish we tried was delicious. I loved how soft and tender the dumplings were, the Peking duck and wrappers were amazing. The Peking dumpling special were so flavorful and tender. We over ordered at the table knowing we would take it all back to the hotel for us to to reheat and eat the rest of the week. Peking Duck for breakfast is something everyone should try, it was amazing the next morning still. The owner was so gracious and friendly, we listened to every recommendation and was thrilled with everything we had. We even took one of each dessert home and they were all amazing. I highly recommend eating here for celiacs and non celiacs alike. It is so wonderful to find a place that understands the importance of a GF completely safe no cross contamination kitchen AND also makes the most delicious Asian food you can have. While we didn’t have every item on the menu we did try a lot of plates and every single plate was delicious. We will ALWAYS come back when in Toronto, this restaurant is such a win, I wish they delivered to Brooklyn 🥰

Amazing 100% gluten free restaurant

As a celiac, I was almost glutened here. When I asked a server if the beer was gluten free, I was told everything on the menu was. But when my lager arrived, the bottle listed barley. I double checked with another server, who confirmed it wasn’t gluten free, apologized, and kindly brought me a quinoa-based beer instead (which was good, just a little warm). I don’t want to be too harsh. Overall, the food was great, and it’s such a gift to have a spot where I can enjoy a tres leches cake without fear. But this experience is a good reminder to always double check, even in places that seem safe. It also highlights how important it is for all staff to be fully trained on gluten and allergens.

Absolutely LOVE this spot, have eaten in-restaurant twice over the last year, and ordered delivery multiple times, with someone Celiac at home we have NEVER had any issues with gluten! Food is delicious and fresh, service is spectacular, honestly absolutely love this place! We’ve had oysters, fish & chips, tacos, poutine (also a fan of their vegan options for poutine, garlic aioli and tartar sauce!), their deep fried Oreos are to die for, and the selections for beers and drinks are always nice! (Ps, sorry for the almost demolished food pic, have tried and failed to take a picture before digging in for almost a year now)

! Celiac disease friendly ! So many options/substitutions for celiacs. My husband was able to enjoy a breakfast sandwich with home fries... that looked and tasted great! The pricing was fair and affordable which was also a plus. This will be our go to spot when visiting Toronto.

Wow! I was visiting from the states for a concert that got cancelled but I guess that was a blessing in disguise as that gave us a chance to stop here to eat. The owner/server was friendly and accommodating. The food was fantastic! I have celiac so I was absolutely drawn here for the GF options. They asked about dietary restrictions up front and I felt comfortable and safe. The food was delicious and my non GF fiancé loved it as well. Dedicated fryers are hard to come by (at least back home) so I took advantage of having one of my old favorites, poutine! It was perfectly layered so each bite was tasty, not like a lot of places that will just dump the gravy and cheese on top leaving you with a plate of dry fries underneath. It was also my first crab cake in years, and it really took me back to the Lexington Market in Baltimore when I was younger (it was actually better). The margarita hit the spot and the homemade hot sauce was super tasty. I will 100% be stopping back next time in I’m Toronto, thank you so much!!!

Gluten free pizza and sushi are all phenomenal!

Healthy food. While ordering I was told that everything here is gluten free. I tried K & K lasagna.

I am embarrassingly obsessed with the sriracha pineapple cauliflower wings here. They’re gluten-free, dairy-free, sweet, spicy, crispy, and served on a bed of crunchy kale. It’s technically an appetizer it’s honestly a full meal lol. The portion is huge and so so good. Whenever I’m hungry and don’t know what I want, my boyfriend knows to just pick these up for me and I’ll be a happy girl. We’re moving out of the city soon, so they shared the recipe for the wings and the sauce with me for when I’m craving it - 10/10 staff. Whether you're plant-based or not, get them.

Excellent gluten-free pasta, possibly the best gluten free pasta in the city.

Lots of delicious gluten free options! In fact, they have an entire gluten free menu and they are highly knowledgeable about it! The breakfast menu is my favourite :)

Coralie D'Souza

One of the best gluten-free spots in the city! Every single item is delicious.

I love Beertown. Not just because they satisfy my foodie cravings for meat, nutrition and flavour…but also because they cater to the dairy and gluten-free side of me with an ENTIRE MENU OF GOODNESS.

Unfortunately they ran out of the food I really wanted to try (the achiote chicken quesadilla), but the rancheros were really good anyways. Loved the homemade hot sauce and ketchup as well. My partner and friend thought their iced coffee was a little watered down tasting/not strong enough, but even for them the food made up for it. They had the brisket hash. Really cute place, the patio looked like a nice set up as well. Good options for people who eat vegetarian and gluten free. Service was friendly and attentive as well!

Dave Smith

Dave's Genuine is comfort food—pure and simple—especially if you grew up eating deli sandwiches, or Kosher favorites like matzoh ball soup. The turkey club is probably my favorite sandwich of all time, and Dave's Genuine makes a killer one. Best of all, it can be made gluten-free—safe for someone who has Celiac disease, like me. In fact, Dave's Genuine makes a real effort to accommodate gluten allergies because the owner's daughter also has Celiac, so he understands the ins and outs of cross contamination. In my most recent order, Dave's even sent me a free batch of fries with a kind note on it, promising they're prepared separately and fried in their own GF fryer. After trying these fries for the first time—crispy and light, by the way—I knew I needed to write this review. The customer service here is truly impeccable, and so is the quality of the food. Pro-tip: Try the smoked meat, it's insanely good.

Accidentally stumbled upon this place and super surprised to find out everything is gluten free! All the ice cream flavours and the cones! Staff was super friendly and nice, ice cream itself was so good and they have alcohol infused ones that tasted amazing. I only got the ice cream to go but they have a cute set up for drink pairings as well - I'll definitely be coming back to try that.

Our server Norah was very helpful in assuring my meal was gluten free which is my diet preference.

Sarah Doucette

Had a wonderful meal on the patio. Listened to some live music! Drinks were great, food was incredible. I have a gluten allergy and I felt safe eating there, tons of options available!
