Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in St. John's

Lindsay MacDonald

As a vegetarian visiting St. John's I was bit concerned about food selections for myself but Nook and Cannery was such a delight. The vibes were immaculate and the food was incredible. They offer many ways to adjust meals to suit vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free folks. My favourite meal during my trip!

Umber Malik

The staff was extremely friendly and provided consistent care. The food was wonderful, and they have Gluten Free/Celiac options. They are are able to sub alternatives if needed. Would definitely go back

Jonathan Paul

Mitch was our server and he was amazing! Great recommendations and just an all around nice guy. Food here is amazing. If you’re gluten free they have one of the best gluten free crusts around. Def come here. Prices are more than fair.

Alex Andro

Deanna Yaran

Angela Ewald

Wonderful meal! So glad we picked this restaurant. Lots of yummy gluten free options!

Tom Jakop

Best Gluten Free Pizza in Canada! I've been to nearly every province in Canada and this was by far the most unique pizza, good size for GF, bbq sauce base, chicken with hot honey sauce! Great atmosphere, friendly service.

Doreen Critch

We love going to Jack Astor's. There's something for everyone from our picky eater, to our vegetarian to our celiac. Candace is the best but I might be biased!

Titka Seddighi

Lovely quient Cafe with a nice patio. A perfect stop on your way up or down from a hike. Had a delicious gluten-free brownie and an ice tea here.

Allison Oliver

Lacey M was our server this morning, we were greeted promptly and with a smile. When my friend ordered gluten free toast she went above and beyond to make sure that everything in the meal was safe for her to eat. She has a fantastic and bubbly attitude and was a pleasure to chat with :) we're both retail managers and think she is truly an asset to the restaurant.

Angela Ewald

Great spot for supper. Had PB&J burger with gluten free bun and a pear & prosciutto side salad. Both were amazing!

Alex Andro

Got some takeout, and staff were so helpful with helping to choose celiac-friendly options! Not only was the food great, but pricing was very reasonable. Would 100% eat there again.

Allyson Morgan

Absolutely delicious! Lots of options, healthy, gluten free, loved my meal!

The Keg Steakhouse + Bar in St. John’s, located at 127 Harbour Drive, offers a refined yet casual dining experience with stunning views of the harbor and Signal Hill from its second-story patio. The menu shines with perfectly aged, spice-rubbed steaks and succulent prime rib, complemented by fresh seafood and inventive sides like pistachio-crusted salmon. Recent diners on OpenTable (4.6/5 from 4470 reviews) praise the attentive, friendly staff—servers like Michelle and Neil stand out for their warmth and professionalism. The elegant ambiance, extensive wine list, and gluten-free options make it ideal for special occasions. However, some note high prices and occasional overcooked dishes. Despite minor hiccups, The Keg remains a top choice for a memorable meal in St. John’s vibrant downtown.

Didn't expect to be in St. John's but an emergency landing had us in town for a night. Went here before the airport and the atmosphere was super cool. All the food was good. Service was wonderful and Steven (of the namesake Bourbon Sour fame) even showed us the "Underbelly"- oldest room in St. John! I love that geeky stuff. To top it off, they have a gluten free fryer so I was able to have fried fish and sweet potato fries!!!

Cassandra

Celiac-friendly with quite a few options! Eaten here several times and always enjoy it.

Karina Lucio

Nice place with gluten wise options.

John Batson

Axesomerta

Best gluten-free fries in the city. Does not skimp on toppings like other poutine spots do.

Brittany Cunningham

I go here everytime I'm in town, which is a couple times a month for work, and I've never had a bad drink here. There's a huge variety of drinks hot and cold and they always have interesting seasonal drinks as well. I always get a sandwich with a gluten free bun when I'm here, my favourites are the pesto chicken and the cran-apple chicken sandwiches, the gluten free bun is very good, and doesn't fall apart like other gf breads tend to.

Orla Hegarty

I do enjoy the deli environment but the layout here is absymal and it's never straightforward to order deli items and or pay for them. The gluten free rice Kaiser is decent but a bit crumbly so plan accordingly. Dining in at a table is very pleasant if available. My favourite sandwich is the curry chicken salad. Get the olives, carrots and pickles on the side. The modest selection of cheeses is decadent. I look forward to bringing a wedge or two home. Do not visit this place if you are in a rush. But overall, it is worth the bit of chaos.

Lindsay Huffman

Such an amazing place! We’re from out of town and this was an amazing date spot. The atmosphere was great, staff were lovely and very knowledgeable! They also had a lot of gluten free options or items on the menu that could be made gluten free. Everything was simple yet so tasty and the presentation was amazing.

Scott Allison

Enjoyed the experience so much yesterday we came back again today. Had the same excellent server Bhaskar - he does a great job particularly with both a gluten free and a vegetarian request from 2 of our party. We came for the excellent beer and it did not disappoint. The food was amazing - burger, the fried chicken sandwich and the roasted red pepper soup.

This was my first experience, and I have to say— I was thoroughly impressed! The service was exceptional. As someone with celiac, I appreciated how the staff reassured me about their careful handling of gluten-free options in the kitchen. There were so many great gluten-free choices, and for once, I felt like a normal person ordering from the menu instead of being limited to just one or two options. The food was fantastic and surprisingly well-priced. The beef tacos were absolutely incredible! I was also amazed to find that all the desserts were gluten-free, which is something I rarely encounter. We ended up getting two desserts, and both were beautifully presented and delicious! My only critique is the music made it a tinsie bit hard for us to hear one another chatting. Overall, the experience was outstanding, and we’ll definitely be back again and again!

Had breakfast here twice during our week in St. John's, and it was worth it! So many options, and the fact that they can serve most options gluten-free (i.e. on a gluten-free bagel) was great. Unfortunately, they do not have a dedicated deep-fryer, so I wasn't able to get any of the unhealthy stuff that everyone else had, but that's okay...I appreciated the fruit substitution for the hash browns!

Robert Luciani

Had a great time! There are many gluten-free options that you can choose from. The sandwiches and soup were very well made and fresh. The atmosphere was cozy with a lot of seating.

Michael O

Service was a little slow but they were pretty busy with other families and had to deal with our gluten and peanut allergies.

Umber Malik

The food is decent, tasted good. They have a lot of Gluten Free Options including a chickpea roti. Our server was very good and all the staff was also. I was not too upset at the mandatory tip, but it is disappointing that some business owners think they're should be allowed to add an additional percentage. I have no complaints except for owners being greeedy. I hope they pay they staff atleast minimum wage. Be prepped to pay an automatic 18% tip for groups of 2 and more.

Blue on Water Restaurant I visited Blue on my birthday and was treated to one of the finest meals I've had in years. It's rare for an entire meal to be excellent, but this was! The appetizers (Scallops, arancini, beet and arugula salad) were all exceptional - thoughtfully plated, sumptuous and a perfect balance of flavours. The mains (duck, chicken and salmon) were also delicious: seared or crusted on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Accompanying seasonal veg were also toothsome and simply prepared. Desserts (gluten free almond cake and a chocolate entremet) were to-die-for and I don't even eat dessert usually. Pretty as a picture and layered with complementary elements. Our server, Lyndon, and manager Emily provided stand-out service making our evening even more special.

Katie Mark

Full gluten free menu, very knowledgeable

Cory Tucker

What an amazing authentic Italian restaurant. Well worth a visit. Food is tantalizing, service is great and venue is quaint. Highly recommended. Oh and a huge gluten free selection!!! Inna was a super server, took er time to walk us through the menu and was just the sweetest… 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

I was intrigued by what I had read online about the Duke being able to provide gluten-free fish and chips, so I tried it out. They have a dedicated fryer for fries, and will pan fry the fish, to prevent cross-contamination. The server was willing to further modify my fish to also make it egg free, which I appreciated. The atmosphere was warm and cosy on a very rainy day. No regrets with my first pub visit in St. John’s!

Liz Fagan

Exceptional service. The staff and manager were very knowledgeable about their gluten-free options and cross-contamination policies. Delicious food ! The only downside is that the restaurant was busy so it was a bit loud. Would recommend !

Jeff Riddall

Great food and beer. Especially enjoyed tuna tartar and gluten free codfish tacos. Yup, gluten free. The Coffee Blonde was very good. The only downsides were the service was a little slow and they ran outta oysters.

dean pratt

The one and possibly only place that has Gluten Free Beer ON TAP! Awesome 😎

em F

best sangria I've ever tasted, were also very accommodating when it came to ensuring my meal was gluten free

Heather deLagran

Rosie Smith

Sarah Marie

So many amazing gluten free options!!

Brad Torres

Melanie Kavanagh

Love Fionn's. Gluten free items as well.

Dianne Wall

Came for a girls night and was not the least bit disappointed! Not only were the drinks on point, but the food was great too(especially for a celiac!) The real star of the show though was our waiter Mihalis - he absolutely made our night and gave us the best dining experience I’ve ever had. Honestly, even if the food was crap, I would go back just for his amazing personality and super entertaining service!

Evelyne Allard

I haven’t had that good of a ramen in a while! The veggies were fresh, the miso broth (which they make themselves!) super tasty, the portion was generous... AND they have gluten-free noodles folks!!! 🤩 Don’t know about you, but I’ll definitely visit this place again!

Melissa MacLean

Wide selection of gluten free options and alternatives that can be offered; I believe only 3 or so menu items they said couldn't. Our server (Brianna?) Absolute gem and very cautious about making sure it was celiac friendly. Been 24 hours, no gluten reaction.

Sonja Heidler

Located close to the harbour allowing for a nice view, this restaurant serves nice food. They offer vegetarian options and Gluten-free ones (GF on request). You won't have to wait long for your food and get a free miso soup while waiting. It's a nice place to eat while exploring St. John's.

We were told that there were gluten free options on the menu but waited half an hour to be told there weren’t really any. Waited another 15 to pay for our drinks and leav

Karen Moores

Gluten safe and great staff.
