Sarah Desrosiers

The food: Phenomenal. The smoothies are great, the bowls are savory and full of great stuff, the banh mi wrap is my all time favourite... everything is good, filling and healthy! One of the only places I can eat at that doesn't hurt my stomach afterwards (the girls get it). They serve fast, it's easy to order ahead and have meals that are ready to be taken out and cooked at home. The service: Even better. They are kind, accommodating, personable and don't judge you when you've ordered the same thing three days in a row. The location: Feels like a community space. They always have posters of local events, host local artists and it is wheelchair accessible! Based on all my experience there, I'd also say they are neurodivergent friendly - always patient, don't mind repeating themselves and are willing to adjust. FYI: I'm not vegan or gluten-intolerant. :) I just love good food. Keep it up!

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.

Love this place!! Some many gluten free options!

Sascha Morrell

It would be a 7 star review if that were possible :) we came here two years ago and returned this year and both the food and the atmosphere had got even better! Fantastic for celiac too.

Wing Chen

Food's decent, price is decent, very large portion you won't leave the restaurant hungry. Lots of gluten free options if required.

Alex Schroeder

Love love love stillfood so much. Obsessed with the new gluten free chicken wings, especially the hot hunny flavor. I crave them constantly now lol The phillycheeze steak, potato salad and Dan Dan bowl are also amazing. My boyfriend who is not vegan often suggests we go here because he loves the food. The owners and staff are also awesome and the actual restaurant is really nice and always very clean.

Nina Murray

I was so excited to discover 🤩 that they offer a large selection of gluten-free options. The party tray is a great deal. The food is so delicious 😋.

Tiggs H

Server had great knowledge about celiac. Great recommendations, one of the best buns I've had, wish it was a little larger! The kitchen was very accommodating.

Enjulie Bedi

Gluten free options! The chick pea panini was FRIGGEN DELICIOUS. YUM.

Ilan Goldenblatt

Fantastic food! I had the Smoked Salmon poached egg bowl, and my partner had the tofu bowl. We are gluten free, which was easily accommodated. Lots of GF and DF options. Would definitely eat here again!

Sarah Rikkinen

Great service and consistently good food. Decent gluten free substitutes and good vegetarian options.

John Morfopoulos

Almost the entire menu is gluten free friendly. Highly recommend

Shannon Holloway

We ordered sandwiches for 15 people, 2 gluten free sandwiches, a veggie platter and a fruit platter. Not only was the staff of Nature's Fare Penticton friendly and accommodating, they went above and beyond to make the platters gorgeous. The quality of ingredients was top notch and very well priced! Thank you, Nature's Fare for an amazing experience. I will be recommending this business for any party needs in the future

Diana Harrison

This is our go to pizza place. The pizza is so so good, I highly recommend going here. Its the best gluten and dairy free pizza in town!

Aaron J. JacksonCrabb

This is the BEST GLUTEN-FREE pizza we've ever had !! It has everything going for it. The size (14"), the crust infused with herbs, and it was golden brown on the underside, which means its been cooked all the way through. Plus, it was well done like we asked it to be. They added plenty of toppings and did not skimp on them nor the amount of cheese on top. When we opened the box, the pizza was hot like it just came out of the oven. Even after we drove down the street to the park to eat!!

Diane Krepp

Gluten free bakery with excellent home made bread. Turnovers great too

Jasmine K

I don't know why I've held off writing a review for so long because this is the place I met my soon to be husband and we revisit often when passing through. We love the small diner feel, the staff are always welcoming and sweet. The portions are HUGE and still are huge 4 years later. Honestly, the fact people complain about the food here blows my mind because it's the basis of a home cooked diner meal, and that's what I'm looking for when coming here. I think the prices are on par if not cheap for how much food they serve! It's exactly what you'd expect from a small town diner and i will always come back. I mean I may be biased because this place holds such a special place in my heart! Regardless of that, this is the perfect breakfast place! :) I'm also super thankful they have gluten free options - not a lot of places do!

Lauren Walker

I come to eat here for special occasions as it can be a bit pricey depending if you’re there for lunch or dinner. I have celiac disease and would highly recommend this restaurant as I’ve eaten there multiple times and I have never gotten any symptoms, which is always the dream situation for anyone with celiac disease. The food is phenomenal, I’ve never eaten anything I have not liked. They always take extra care for anyone with celiac disease and will be able to inform you of what you can and cannot eat off the menu. The views are some of the best in Penticton. I would highly recommend if you have celiac disease or not! It’s always a very lovely experience.

Daniel Cramer

Excellent meal at this downtown Penticton spot. Clean but casual interior, prompt friendly service, and fantastic food! Our Denver guests described this as some of the best Indian they’ve ever had. They also do a great job Gluten-Free! The Mango Chicken is an excellent suggestion for Butter chicken lovers and they have a nice, but small selection of local wines and Indian beers to compliment your meal.

Shane Jackson

Both the food and staff are always superb. A good selection of gluten free options.

I love the Portuguese lettuce wraps! I just wish they had gluten free bread 🍞 but none the less I love lokis

Dan Byl

Amazing spot. Went on a quiet night. Nice and chill relaxed. Had an amazing chowder and my wife had a gluten free options which is always tough to find. Will be back

Emerald Horne

They're good burgers for not being a proper sit down restaurant! I went July 2023 and then again today, and had no problems with ordering gluten free either time (and am celiac and did not get sick after). Most beef burgers can be made gluten free and the fries are made in a gluten free fryer. I had a deluxe bacon burger with the gluten free bun which was good. They also offer a lettuce wrap as an instead. It was really good, pretty quick, and close to the beach. Only downside is that all seating is outside, which is fine for the summer but good to consider if they are open other times of the year

Incredible flavours! Gluten free! Great value for a delicious experience 😋

Aaron J. JacksonCrabb

A deliciously superb share-plate tapas-styled dinner paired with a recommended Hillside Winery 2015 Gamay Noir, topped off with a petite four-square dessert and a fine port. Oh yea everything we ate 100% Gluten-free Celiac-friendly. Thanks to the awesome chefs for their dedication in producing the Celiac-friendly meal and to the our server for her diligence at being respectful, helpful and patient with our slow dining. It's all GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Shauna JacksonCrabb

Excellent traditional style Mexican cuisine. Gluten Free/Celiac options are no problem here! All dishes were amazing with fantastic flavor. Staff were friendly, accommodating and fun! We will be back!

Tickleberry’s Downtown Penticton isn’t just about ice cream—it’s also a great spot for coffee lovers and those looking for a sweet or savory treat. They serve a selection of freshly brewed coffee, which pairs perfectly with their pastries. Whether you’re in the mood for a rich, smooth latte or a classic dark roast, their coffee menu offers something for everyone. Their pastry selection includes a variety of muffins, cookies, and other baked goods, with options for those who are gluten-free or vegan. If you’re looking for something beyond sweets, they also have grab-and-go lunch items like fresh salads and pasta dishes. The cozy atmosphere makes it a nice place to relax with a coffee and a treat, whether you’re taking a break from exploring downtown Penticton or just meeting up with friends. The friendly staff and high-quality ingredients make it a spot worth stopping by—even if you’re not in the mood for ice cream!

Farty vibes. Sports bar for kids. Had the 'gluten free' pasta but if you'd heard my butt last night you'd absolutely agree that it did indeed contain gluten. It sounded like the Titanic lost in fog. At one point it startled my partner awake and he shouted "ICEBERG AHEAD!". Went with friends, they're cool, they get 5 stars out of 5.

jeroen teeuwen

Best Pad Thai in the Okanagan! Stopped at the food truck on our way through town looking for something quick, vegetarian, and gluten free and we’re not disappointed. Will definitely stop by next time

Emi

So good we came back twice during our trip. We were also lucky for the menu to have changed slightly from our first visit so was able to try different tapas dishes. This is the spot for Celiacs, 99% of their menu is gluten-free except for their bread. Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Presentation was top notch. If you are looking for a quick bite, this is not the place. It's an experience, order a bunch of dishes to share (min. 2 dishes/person), try some of their cocktails or wine and take in the beautiful view from your table. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes and wine. Our lunch server saw that we had returned and came by to welcome us back. Definitely a nice gesture.

I was in Penticton for a couple of days on my way home from a trip to Edmonton. I reached out to my niece to meet for dinner while I was in town and she recommended Palmer. I happened to be staying next door at the Hotel Penticton so this was super convenient. Their menu has a good variety without being overwhelming. There’s bound to be something to appeal to everyone. My niece ordered the Miso Glazed Salmon and I had the Chicken Presse. Both meals were very tasty and decent portions. Our server was very attentive and when I mentioned that my Guinness was quite flat, she brought me a different drink and even comp’d the drink as well as remove the stale drink. After our meal, our server listed off some dessert options and we selected their Turtle Cheesecake which is both gluten free and dairy free (my niece has dietary restrictions) and it was surprisingly tasty. The coconut whip “cream” was a nice touch. I will be trying Palmer for breakfast before I leave and see if a steakhouse is capable of doing breakfast.

Sociale is a must-stop if you’re enjoying a day at the beach! Our server Selina was excellent and so patient with us. The food was to die for, there were lots of gluten free options, and the servers are all very knowledgeable and attentive. 10/10 would recommend.

Terri-Lynn G

I’d give them 10 stars if I could. They have a great selection of gluten-free items, and the deli sandwiches are hearty and delicious. This family-run business offers the most amazing customer service. I forgot to mention that I needed a gluten-free bun until they were already making my sandwich. I apologized and offered to pay for the mistake, but they were incredibly gracious—they didn’t charge me, and more importantly, they made me feel like it wasn’t a big deal. (I’m pretty sure it was, since they were quite busy at the time.)

Pad Thai is so goooood! Great location, friendly server, reasonable price. There also lots of option for vegan/ gluten free.

Shiloh Vanderkooi

The server Raine was amazing, she and the cooks went above and beyond for me because of my gluten allergy. 😊💜

Andrew Dickens

J Penner

The staff are always so friendly, polite and fast!!! Food is aways tasting on point. I just wish they would get gluten free shells for their burritos. Being a Celiac I would eat more from the menu then. : )

Matthew CW

I am allergic to a lot of foods. They catered to my needs without complaint. Gluten free crust was extremely good. Employees and owner are kind and outgoing. I had their chicken Alfredo, it was delicious!

Peggy Vermette

Just had the Gluten Free Halibut and chips and I'm super impressed! I'm gluten intolerant not by choice and have a hard time finding good take away food, I'd recommend this even if your not Gluten intolerant! Thanks 😊

Sydney

I’ve been here a couple times now and it’s truly an amazing restaurant. The food is delicious, the service is fantastic, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. I would highly recommend the aburi nigiri. They are also great for those with dietary restrictions. I have celiac disease and they will always accommodate if they can.

Sarah Thomson

I was really excited for this dinner due to the high rating but unfortunately was really disappointed with this restaurant. Our server wasn’t friendly and made it feel very snooty and uncomfortable. The servers weren’t very accommodating of dietary restrictions. I’m celiac and they were unable to provide safe GF options for any of the carbs (potato, bulgar, pita) so I left quite hungry. They also never came back with an answer on if the feta was pasteurized which is necessary during pregnancy. Our server told us this was ‘elevated dining’, but this really missed the mark, certainly wouldn’t return.

Alax Ross

Always getting hot pizza fast! Never had any issues. the Gluten Free Crust is reasonably priced and tastes good too.

Alix Schroeder

Our bartender Chris was incredible, very welcoming and helpful. Wish there were more vegan and gluten free options, not much to eat there so I went somewhere else for food after.

Lena Wenzel

Nick Brooks

This is definitely one of if not the best pizza place in Penticton. My partner is gluten intolerant so we hadn't tried this place because they do not offer GF base... However!! The flour they use in their pizza is imported from Italy and it is a lot easier on the stomach and we were able to eat the regular dough no problem!! We have heard other people who are gluten intolerant say the same. The pizza is absolutely delicious and the atmosphere is fun and inviting. Definitely reccomend

Colleen Risbey

A greasy spoon with not too greasy delights! I haven't been to restaurants for a while. This was a real treat as I came into town for some items. Big perks all around. They don't charge for gluten free French toast, the prices are so good for this time in the world, it's packed so that shows people like it and it was Sparkling clean all around. Can't say that about Denny's! I was happy writing here for an hour. Thank you!

Nigel Reedman

Excellent experience here. Came in for lunch, with Celiac it can be “iffy” but Brodo nails it. They clearly understand the Gluten Free needs and were very helpful with it. Had the Cubano with GF bread. AMAZING. Partner had the soup flight and enjoyed them all. Will definitely go back next time in town.

BSM

Visiting from Vancouver and ordered 5 pizzas, Veg Korma, Paneer Makhnee Gluten free, Meat Lovers, and veggie pesto. I must say that this pizza is some of the best I’ve ever had!! Delicious fresh toppings, and flavours. The crust is crispy and perfect texture & taste. I called the order in, and the lady that took my order was extremely friendly, and delivery driver was equally great and professional! I highly recommend this place, 5 STAR *****

Monique Saebels

Good ribs and gluten free options.
