Andre

Have been going here for many years. Best prices, quality, taste for a gluten free bakery in Ottawa

Daniel Gosher

I come here frequently and have yet to be disappointed. The food is always good, portions are very fair, top notch selection for gluten-free food. Can't find a place like this anywhere else. Cozy vibe, great service, and wholesome food. All of these factors make it a pleasure to support the business.

Sarah Lévesque

Wow! The owner is so nice! He took the time with my girlfriend to explain her the gluten free menu . Everything is done separatly so no chance of cross contamination.

Pierre Lachance Jr

Recommend for anybody has gluten issues it's all gluten-free over there

samuel caron gagne

Amazing small family restaurant authentic greek food with gluten free options will be back often

Miriam Lehman

Amazing time and food. We were 3. Stayed away from the dips so that we didn’t have to segregate with normal pita and gf pita. 7 dishes split 3 ways and just gorgeous food. Felt very safe there after asking questions.

Paul Bergsma

We had a fantastic dinner experience at ZOLAS last night with our family of four, including one gluten-free diner. The menu offered plenty of options, and our server was super attentive and provided great recommendations. The food arrived quickly and was piping hot and delicious! We took advantage of the $75 Wednesday night deal, where you get an appetizer to share, individual mains, and a dessert to share for every two people. What a great value! The food was absolutely delicious, and we highly recommend ZOLAS to anyone looking for a great dining experience. Can't wait to go back!

I went there, they told me they were not dedicated. Half of the kitchen is gluten free, and the other 1/2 is not. This listing needs to be updated. Can you please update this listing ?

Michael Moir

Always buy the GF pep talk pizza. Safe for celiacs. Never had any issues.

Emmalyn Lacroix

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!!! The people here are so kind and the food is so good. They also offer gluten free options and make their spicy mayo sauce fresh. I definitely suggest coming to check this place out, definitely worth it.

Whenever I visit Ottawa, I make sure to stop here before I leave. They consistently have a good variety of delicious fresh desserts and also a frozen section of more savoury options. My friends that typically eat gluten and dairy have even said some of their desserts are better, which I totally agree with! Best Nanaimo bar selection 🤤 I think using a tad less sugar would be a bit better overall if you are trying to limit your sugar intake (I usually portion the desserts) but overall, you won’t find a better gluten/dairy free/vegan dessert bakery.

Jessica Harper

It was my first time trying this place, and for being celiac certified, it made me feel so much safer to eat here. I got the Ottawa burger and a poutine. Both were hands down, so freaking good. Our server Dawn was also amazing she made me and my family feel very welcoming. You guys should also start selling you bacon mayo. I would buy that by the truck loads. Lol

Courtney Lewicki

I don’t normally review , but WOW. I have had a gluten intolerance for a few years now and have recently been taking it very seriously. As you can imagine it’s been hard to find things to substitute things with gluten that doesn't taste like cardboard. If your gluten free THIS IS YOUR PLACE. I had a ham panini , cupcake and brownie all gluten free. I was so delighted how fresh and yummy the bread tasted , the cupcake was just right amount of sweet with a light tasting icing. Oh gosh, perfection. I haven’t tried the brownie yet but I’m confident it’s delicious. Too bad we live an hour away, but I will 100% be returning here soon, worth the trip. Thank you 3 Sisters!

Somaya Neill - Alshami

Great costumer service and very celiac friendly menu.

A Heximer

Service was excellent, atmosphere is lovely, cocktails delicious (need to go back to sample them all!), my main was delicious and beautifully plated, the desserts (I had one and sampled two others in my group) were very good but not amazing, but then I’m not celiac so I may have noticed differences in taste and texture compared to gluten-containing equivalents. Overall, I would definitely go back for drinks, apps and dinner, but I might pass on dessert or go down the street for a gelato to spread the local business support around. VIV is a great option for anyone who can’t have gluten but also a delicious and fun option for anyone who likes a nice cocktail and delicious, thoughtfully prepared food. Nice wine list too.

Lynn-Marie Shapcott

We had a Christmas get-together with our bowling group on December 19, 2024. The staff are amazing 👏, they went above and beyond service! The chef expressly made my own plate of gluten-free nachos 😋 THANK YOU! Love Chances R Lynn-Marie Shapcott Kanata

Vivian Kissane

Service was phenomenal and so is the food. There were so many amazing gluten free options and the staff was happy to give recommendations… special shoutout to Lienna for the amazing service!

Arne Seidel-Höfer

Extremely helpful staff. They discussed with me what options are really safe and which ones aren’t. I wanted to order something that was only gluten free but made in the same fryer, however, the friendly staff made it possible to do it in a separate fryer

Maya Desrochers

Everything about this bakery was perfection. They made us gluten free / vegan cupcakes for our engagement party and they were an absolute hit! Vegan butter cream!!! The sweetest people and best treats! Highly recommend :)

Dan Macdonald

Chose 4 tacos (pastor, gringa, camaron, tinga) and they were all excellent. The mariachi band was fun. Absolutely worth a visit. And it’s gluten free approved!

Sarah pothier

My favourite go to sushi place! It's always delicious and they have great options for Celiac people :)

Shawn Henderson

Super fun place, great food, great service. Had a blast. 100% Gluten Free. Huge, varied menu. Great cocktails, lots of flavours of margaritas. All serviced super fast, super friendly. Cannot wait for patio season to enjoy the food and drinks in the sun... but the interior is decorated very festively. I'll be back!

K B

What a hidden gem! Might be my new favourite lunch spot. I tried the honey hot, not too spicy, very fresh ingredients, crunchy and juicy chicken. I love that it's gluten free too. I'll bring my gluten free friends next time. Oh, and the donuts are not to be missed! Totally stuffed with high quality filling. So fresh!

Stan Cheer

WOW, Gluten-Free (GF) fried chicken, GF mac and cheese, GF burgers, etc and GF fish and chips on Friday. What a great optionin Stittsville

Hadiza B.

The burgers are super good! They also have gluten free buns for the burger (Celiac friendly indeed).

kadra Hassan

I called the place to order a gluten free cake and the lady who was talking to me just hang up the phone one without not finishing my sentence that’s rude and bad customer service .

Amenda Soucy

My favorite gluten free poutine, the best in town for sure !

Mike L

Had the best gluten-free burger I've had in ages! And it was the High Priest burger, which is a fantastic replication of a Big Mac, except it was the kind of Big Mac you dream of: big, juicy patties, real cheese, and clearly real diced onions in the classic Mac sauce. As someone who has been gluten-free for fifteen years, this "Big Mac" High Priest was a real treat! And to boot, the french fries have a dedicated deep fryer! They were SO tasty... Not McDonald's fries but comparable to the best chip wagon fries I've had in town. Definitely going back. Strongly recommend! 👍👍

Emily Puckett

As someone with celiac disease it’s hard to eat out, but my server Alexis provided me with all the gluten free options they had and took all the extra steps to make sure I felt safe to eat!

j migneault

Wow, very good, excellent, what can I say about the service, our waitress, she served us in French, gluten-free menu, congratulations to all the staff

Crystal Cameron

Amazing! I was in town for work and of course being celiac, I need gluten free, and let me tell you there were no shortage of options! I got the Ahi tuna poke bowl and it was so good, I returned the next night for the exact same thing! Awesome & kknowledgeable staff, extremely fresh and delicious food! This will be a go-to spot for me for all future Ottawa trips!

Alicia Isnor

Love these guys and they do gluten-friendly! The poutine is awesome and so is the slushy lemonade.

Melissa-Ann Ledo

Best burgers in town! Amazing with kiddos and gluten free allergy!

Moe McIlwain

Nice bright open space to enjoy a meal. I had the smash burger with gluten free bread and salad on the side… very tasty. Don’t feel bloated … very fresh. Highly recommend.

Emily

We had a great experience dining at Joey Rideau! Our food was delicious. Highly recommend the steak frites (this dish is also celiac safe, if you cannot have gluten). Our server Daphne was very kind and made sure that we enjoyed everything! We were celebrating our anniversary and it was lovely.

Christine Skelly

Great burger and wings. Gluten free bun. Very flavourful! Good atmosphere A little slow but no complaints with golf on the screen and good company Will be back for fish and trips

Carly Brender

Nearly the entire menu is gluten free. Very knowledgeable about cross contamination. Food is delicious and the staff are fantastic. Always a safe and delicious spot to visit. Our go to special occasion resto for years.

Corrianna

This is our go to restaurant when we want a good meal. The food is always consistently delicious and the staff is incredibly friendly. This time I brought my mom and aunt who were visiting from out of town. They could not stop raving about how delicious the food was and most notably how wonderful and sweet our server, Summer, was. Summer went above and beyond to make sure all of my aunt's food and drinks were safe as my aunt has Celiac disease. We will definitely be back again next time they are in town. Thanks for another great evening ❤️🙂

Ariane LM

Best Keg location in town! Great celiac friendly food as always and amazing service!

Annie Burton

Absolutely amazing! Very small and cozy spot. Celiac safe, dedicaded fryer, so tasty, lots of options, amazing service!

Michelle Bradshaw

Very knowledgeable staff, took care to make sure we were comfortable with the gluten free preparation and food.

Carole Evans

Had great soft shell tacos! Chicken. And 2 types of pork that were all excellent. Rice and beans were pretty good. The room a bit too dark. Got brighter when the large screen TV flashed bright. Would definitely go back . Wonderful options for my celiac friend.

Angela Lindberg

This review is for the senior management at BP. I highly recommend promoting Jessica and having her train staff at other locations nationwide. It will undoubtedly boost your sales. As someone with a family affected by celiac disease and allergies, dining out can be overwhelming. However, thanks to Jessica's instruction, we now feel at ease when eating at BP. It has become our preferred family dining option.

Maud C

This listing is not 100% gluten free. Please update this listing.

Francis Ho

We ordered high tea, one set of which is gluten free. Good food, good service and a pleasant environment. Price is reasonable.

Ramneek Kaur

My husband and I had dinner at Sundari’s Kitchen. The food was delicious, satisfying, and they also offer gluten-free options. We would definitely come back.

Steph Levac

Staff are knowledgeable about celiac. Alex - my server was so thorough when going through the menu with me and so thoughtful to check in and make sure I was feel good when we were paying up and getting ready to leave. A++ service

Jamie Davidson

My wife and I were lucky enough to be strolling by Riviera last night when we noticed the patio was unusually quiet. This place is typically packed. On a whim we stopped and had dinner. The service was very good. We started with a plate of fresh oysters and the best steak tartare I have ever had. It was served with homemade potato chips which suited my gluten intolerance perfectly. We each had a cocktail - mine a whiskey sour (impeccable) and my wife had 'La Dolce Vita' - an upscale nod to the Venetian spritz. For mains my wife had the lobster spaghetti, which she very much enjoyed. A very generous portion of lobster. I had the halibut with morels, fava beans in a wonderful sauce. We each had a glass of wine. The Steak Frites seemed to be a popular dish on the tables around us - though neither of us regretted our selection we both commented that this would have been a great option. A beautiful dinner, with spectacular service. I only give the atmosphere 3 stars due to us being on the patio. Thank you, Riviera. We will definitely be back!
