Top 29 Gluten-Free Gems Across Historic Old Town, Niagara-on-the-Lake

Amazing coffee, the biggest ice cream cone I've ever seen and great croissants! Gluten free snacks as well!

Fun atmosphere. Live music. Recommend making reservations because it fills up fast. Our waitress was helpful with questions about gluten free items. I had a delicious beef stew and my husband had a very tasty seafood stew. Great place for a satisfying and filling meal!

Came in for some brunch, the savoury crepes were quite tasty and quickly made, coffee was good as well. There was a wide assortment of pastries and desserts, while we didn't try any during our visit, they looked delicious, and they offered sugar and gluten free/friendly options as well.

The food was okay, but not great. I had the gluten-free pizza, and unfortunately, the crust was disappointing—I’ve had better at Domino’s. My boyfriend ordered the chicken, which was dry and lacked flavor, and the rice tasted undercooked and slightly hard. My friend had the mushroom pasta, which she said needed more flavor, though she did enjoy it overall. The biggest letdown, however, was the wait time—it felt like almost an hour before our food arrived. On the bright side, our waiter was wonderful—super friendly and welcoming, which helped make up for some of the negatives. Overall, it was an average experience, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

I had an very accommodating and delicious experience at Finest Thai! I called ahead due to my food allergies to gluten and soy and was instantly assured that accommodations could be made for me- which is not always easy to find! I had the sweet and sour dish with veggies and jasmine rice which was very good. The sauce was nice and light and flavorful! I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone, but especially those with soy/ gluten allergies.

This restaurant was devine. We got the special Winter offer (where you get an appetizer, entrée and dessert for a per person price). Every course was tasty - standouts being the ribeye and tenderloin, which were both seasoned and cooked to perfection. The biggest highlight was the scrumptious gluten-free vegan chocolate coconut pudding, which was outstanding (and I keep thinking about it). Atmosphere and service were both also great.

Super helpful staff and some of the best smoothies in Niagara! Sheridan helped my partner and I find vegan and gluten free options for our quick lunch as they were able to accommodate us not having a reservation. The food was healthy and fresh, and really delicious! Everything was clearly made from scratch and was well worth the short wait.

My experience here was a while ago but wasn't too bad. I ordered the vegetable panini, but I needed to make a change to remove an ingredient (cheese) and get gluten free bread due to food intolerances at the time, which have gotten better since. I was told that they couldn't do that because multiple foods were premade. I understood, but isn't the point of a restaurant to have 'fresh' food? They ended up creating a fresh panini, which I was greatful for due to the limited amount of vegetarian options. Yes, I could have chosen one of the other vegetarian options, except I couldn't because almost all (if not all) of the options had tomatoes, which give me a violent reaction if I eat them. That being said, the vegetarian options they had without tomatoes that day was limited to the panini or a 1 trio of dips. The rest of the vegetarian options all had tomatoes: feta bruschetta (tomatoes), salads (all with tomatoes), flatbread (tomatoes), penne tomato (tomatoes). Keep in mind the options as I was told were pre-prepared, so how could I alter them to be without tomatoes? The panini was also pretty small for the cost. The small salad it came with had a raspberry (all natural) dressing. That dressing had almost a neon pink colour and was so sweet, that it tasted artificial. The people I was with had fish and chips. Again, smallish portions. I was told the fried fish in beer batter was pretty good. That being said, we all had the same impression, that the food was bland, especially the fries. The portions combined with the blandness of the food didn't make the cost feel worth it, as it is pricier. The bathroom designs were awful, the rest of the interior was pretty interesting. The customer service was pretty good.
