A great place to go if you and your friends enjoy sci-fi/fantasy/horror themes. A lot of care and effort has gone into making it a fun place to have drinks and food. The staff and service have always been friendly and accommodating. One of our group is celiac and one is vegan and we have never had an issue.
If I could give 10 stars I would, I have celiac disease (severe gluten allergy) and they were incredible! So knowledgeable about cross contamination etc. and they have entirely separate cutting boards, knives, etc. for gluten free sandwiches. Plus their gluten free bread is so tasty. I will definitely be returning! :)
My favourite gelato place and their mango flavours always hit the spot. I love that the standard is 2 flavours and their vegan and gluten free options are just as good, often better, than the other flavours
Disappointed and Frustrated – Wouldn’t Recommend
I don’t usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience from June 9th. I called ahead to specifically ask if they offered gluten-free ramen, and was told they had a couple of options available. Based on that, we decided to dine in.
However, after placing our order, the server came back to inform us they were actually out of gluten-free noodles. This level of miscommunication and negligence is extremely disappointing, especially for someone with dietary restrictions. I was then told to choose something else from the menu, and ended up ordering the Donburi, which they offered at a 20% discount.
Unfortunately, the Donburi was not enjoyable at all—I took just two bites and couldn’t bring myself to eat the rest. To make matters worse, the server was not friendly or accommodating, which only added to the overall poor experience.
I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Between the lack of care for dietary needs, underwhelming food, and unwelcoming service, it’s just not worth your time or money.
I love these cookies!
I can only have the gluten friendly ones, so I have to make sure I'm there for those ones (they sell out quickly!), but they are magical.
They have a huge variety for the gluten-eating types, and the looks on my friends' faces tells me they are every bit as delicious as the gf ones.
Cafe Landwer, conveniently located on the southeast side of Bloor and Yonge near the Bloor TTC stop, is an inviting spot perfect for a cozy meal or coffee break. The space is bright and airy, with large windows offering plenty of natural light and a patio for outdoor dining on pleasant days. The atmosphere strikes a balance between bustling energy and comfort, making it an enjoyable place to relax or catch up with friends.
The menu is a delightful blend of Mediterranean flavors, catering to various preferences with vegan and gluten-free options. Whether you're in the mood for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner, there’s something to satisfy every craving. I tried their signature shakshuka, accompanied by freshly baked pita bread and a crisp, vibrant salad. Every bite was a testament to the quality and care put into their dishes. To complement the meal, I indulged in their Sahlep drink, a warm and fragrant winter treat made from orchid tuber flour—an absolute must-try.
Despite the steady stream of diners, the service was quick and attentive. The efficient booking system at the entrance ensured a short wait, even during peak hours. With its reasonable prices and high-quality offerings, Landwer Cafe is a place I look forward to visiting again soon.
Went in just before lunch rush with a 4 year old and a baby- great service! The two ladies were so polite and helpful. Food was great and there is a separate gluten-free menu. I ordered a chicken sandwich (g.f) and my husband had poutine.

I've had the pleasure of both dining in & taking out food from Si Lom Thai Bistro, & it has become a favourite spot for its delicious Thai cuisine.
One standout feature for me is their incredibly tasty Pad Thai, which they skillfully prepare completely gluten-free upon request. As someone with dietary restrictions, I appreciate their dedication to accommodating various needs. The portion sizes at Si Lom Thai Bistro are generous, often providing enough for a satisfying meal with a take-home bag to spare.
During the summer, the outdoor patio adds a lovely touch to the dining experience. It's a perfect spot to enjoy the flavours of Thai cuisine in a more relaxed setting. However, inside the restaurant, the space is a bit cramped, making it less than ideal for personal conversations. While the overall ambiance is pleasant, the cozy interior might not suit those seeking a more private dining experience.
In conclusion, Si Lom Thai Bistro is a go-to for flavourful Thai dishes, especially their delightful gluten-free pad Thai. Whether you choose to dine in or take out, the delicious food & ample portion sizes make it a satisfying choice. If you're a fan of Thai cuisine & don't mind the cozy interior, this restaurant is worth a visit.
AMAZING!! Didn't try the cocktails though. Pasta Asiago was 20/10 !!! I got the gluten free pasta and was soooo delicious. The seafood risotto was... meh... the calamari and creme brulèe were super good. The wine was ok. 1 appetizer, 2 dishes, 500 ml of white wine and 1 desert: CAD 130. Service was really good.
Cute cafe and came with high expectations but let down. Website and online showed lots of gluten-free options - when we arrived there was only one egg bake and one gluten free bar marked as gluten free. Staff was rude when asked about other options. Got the granola and watched the girl use the same tongs as for the other products. When I asked for a fresh one from the back she gave me a lot of sass. Super unprofessional considering I told her it was an allergy. I would not recommend or go back.

Had drinks and nachos - staff were really nice, especially waitress! Staff easily accommodated my gluten allergy (celiac disease) a with corn chips and they were so good. We each had three drinks each - and we were feeling really good by the time we headed home.
Tasty food with a decent price. They even had gluten-free options! My meal was basic, but the potatoes were seasoned nicely, and it came quickly.
Large restaurant inside, and a nice little patio outside. Across the street is a new condo development, be careful of flying dust, but interesting to watch.
I do not say this lightly, the burger was the best I've ever eaten in my entire life. I wish I could have tried the fries because I'm gluten free, but the burger was worth it on its own.
OMG! This place is unreal! Don't let the name fool you - it's not just salads! Gluten free or sensitive? This is the place for you!
They have a great selection of healthy options! Cobb salad and salmon salad - they got it! I ordered the "small" chicken shawarma dinner - it's still a very sizable portion. Comes with rice, potatoes, lentils, mixed greens, and your choice of salad toppings including beets and chickpeas! Everything - fresh fresh fresh! No wilted salad here! The wife very much enjoyed the cobb salad and the (smoked) salmon salad! Everything is prepared to order - fresh!
Seems to be owned by a hard working family that takes pride on serving quality food. 5 stars for this hard working family!
