Top 14 Gluten-Free Casual Spots to Enjoy in British Columbia

In the land of sushi in Vancouver this restaurant hits at a solid okay. I say that because it advertises itself as gluten free which was the main draw for us. We made a reservation which seems like it’s mandatory. The tuna tataki, karaage and tempura we ordered was great. The gyoza was a big let down. It was made with rice paper and resembled an egg roll more but it also fell apart and came stacked on top of each other. I wouldn’t consider them gyoza. The service was okay but once the restaurant was half full it was non existent. Something that most may not care about but I noticed was we all got different plates and there were no side plates for soy sauce or other sauces. Table setting was lack luster. For gluten free it was decent but I hope they continue to work on their GF options into the future.

Amazing food!!! As someone with celiac, I haven't had Chinese food in since I was diagnosed, and it was absolutely delicious. Even my non gluten free family loved the dishes we got to share. Will definitely be a new go to when I'm in Vic🙌👌

Went for dinner with my spouse on Father's Day. We barley even waited before we were sat at a table. Honestly I was very surprised given the day we were dining. Out server was really warm and attentive. He suggested and I ordered the Pink Gin Froze and it was really nice. Not too sweet but tasty. Would order again. Let our server know we had both Celiac and dairy allergy at our table and was very accommodating. I ordered the Chicken Parm burger on a gf bun with a side of gf mac & cheese. IT WAS SO GOOD and everything I wanted and hoped it would be. The sandwich packed with flavour and the perfect amount of messy. The mac & cheese was cooked perfectly with the gf noodles not overdone and the sauce thick and cheesy. My other half got the BLT chicken sandwich with fries. He really enjoyed it as well. If there is only one suggestion we could make it would be to offer dairy free cheese for the burgers. It's so hard to find dairy free cheese burgers literally anywhere. Given the how the menu is already set up, it would be a cool add on. Anyways, it didn't matter all that much because the chicken burgers were still amazing! We were too full for dessert as tempting as it looked on the menu. Such a great local gem and I look forward to visiting again!

CELIAC DAUGHTER VIOLENTLY THROWING UP! My wife (also a celiac) confirmed with the Wendle’s staff 3 times that the banana bread is gluten free. It was not. The banana bread was in with all the gluten free items, so after triple checking with the Wendle’s team and seeing the loaf was with the other GF items, we determined it was safe for our 5.5 year old SEVERELY celiac daughter. She’s now thrown up all over our house and is continuing to throw up! When I called Wendle’s to let them know about this horrible situation they said “oh, we don’t serve any gluten free banana bread. Then they offered me a gift card to replace the items my wife bought. TRAIN YOUR STAFF AROUND ALLERGIES! This is not ok! And one more thing… a few years ago my then 3.5 year old and I were at Wendle’s and my daughter was about to pee her pants. The bathroom like up was 20 minutes long, so I asked if she could use the staff bathroom and was told NO in a VERY rude and nasty way. Oh Wendle’s. You should not be as busy as you are.

HMMMM. Delicious fish in a light and crispy gluten free batter. GF fries. Burgers for those who insist on a glutinous diet. Great meal.

Beautiful bakery with a lovely range of gluten-free options. I do wish there were alternatives for people who can’t tolerate xanthan gum, as it's in all their breads. When I mentioned my allergy, I felt a bit dismissed—which was disappointing. I’m sharing this so others with food sensitivities are aware, and in the hope that staff might take all allergies seriously, even the lesser-known ones. That said, I admire the effort to provide gluten-free products and hope they might consider xanthan-free options in the future.

We went for Sunday brunch at 11:00 am. We were seated at a table for 4 without having to wait. The servers were incredible and the food delicious. Gluten free English Muffins for celiacs. Two of us had the Eggs Benedict served on a croissant. We both agreed this was the best Eggs Benny we have had in years. Only 3 stars for the atmosphere as it is a little loud in there.

Unfortunately I had a bad reaction to eating here. The product itself is amazing and they understood they needed to be careful - I’m just prob more sensitive to all the flour and cross contamination here.

Gluten free cones and really good gluten free ice cream

The food and the service was fantastic. Most items are gluten free, and if you ask, the owner is very clear about which items are not gf or are fried with non gf items. Really great experience. I will definitely be back!

So lovely to find some delicious gluten free options!! Only two options when we arrived, 45 min prior to close on Saturday.
