Top 50 Gluten-Free Cider Havens Across Canada

Christian Griggs-Drane

Julia made this an incredible experience! I am so grateful for Julia and The Mule, as a celiac and anaphylactic to Peanuts and Tree Nuts, my time finding restaurants that I feel truly safe is rare. This was the first place in Canada where I felt that safety to just explore the menu, relax, and enjoy. Everyone that came to our table was kind, informed, and awesome! Also the food IS AMAZING! Best tacos I’ve had in Ontario. Thank you again to Julia and the team for making a memorable meal and amazing experience. Will be coming back to Hamilton just for The Mule!

Ben and Naomi have put together easily one of the best cafes I've ever been to. I only visited twice while in Montreal, but I left feeling like I was a regular. The bread is amazing, the pastries are divine, and the classic Italian-style espresso is some of the best I've had outside of Europe. Whether or not you have Celiac, gluten sensitivity, any other allergies or none at all, I cannot recommend this little fallen piece of Elysium enough.

As a celiac, I was almost glutened here. When I asked a server if the beer was gluten free, I was told everything on the menu was. But when my lager arrived, the bottle listed barley. I double checked with another server, who confirmed it wasn’t gluten free, apologized, and kindly brought me a quinoa-based beer instead (which was good, just a little warm). I don’t want to be too harsh. Overall, the food was great, and it’s such a gift to have a spot where I can enjoy a tres leches cake without fear. But this experience is a good reminder to always double check, even in places that seem safe. It also highlights how important it is for all staff to be fully trained on gluten and allergens.

Just had an amazing experience at Selia Bar and had to share! The entire place is 100% gluten free, which was such a relief — no need to worry about cross-contamination at all. It’s so refreshing to be able to choose anything from the menu without second-guessing or stressing. There were so many delicious options to pick from, and everything we tried was fantastic. Our server, Erick, was absolutely wonderful — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even better with his thoughtful service. If you’re looking for a safe and genuinely enjoyable place to eat out, I highly recommend Selia Bar. I left feeling full, happy, and totally at ease.

Food is great lots of gluten free options !

Nicole Smith

Wow! I was visiting from the states for a concert that got cancelled but I guess that was a blessing in disguise as that gave us a chance to stop here to eat. The owner/server was friendly and accommodating. The food was fantastic! I have celiac so I was absolutely drawn here for the GF options. They asked about dietary restrictions up front and I felt comfortable and safe. The food was delicious and my non GF fiancé loved it as well. Dedicated fryers are hard to come by (at least back home) so I took advantage of having one of my old favorites, poutine! It was perfectly layered so each bite was tasty, not like a lot of places that will just dump the gravy and cheese on top leaving you with a plate of dry fries underneath. It was also my first crab cake in years, and it really took me back to the Lexington Market in Baltimore when I was younger (it was actually better). The margarita hit the spot and the homemade hot sauce was super tasty. I will 100% be stopping back next time in I’m Toronto, thank you so much!!!

Regular crust pizza is okay but not remarkable. Gluten-friendly crust pizza leaves to be desired. Home artisan potatoes are soft and don’t taste freshly made at all. Customer service is great; very thorough with modifications. We enjoyed their home made lemonade.

Jadyn Brown

Love this place! They have so many vegan,vegetarian and gluten free options it makes it easy for anyone to eat here

Brenna Liane

What a cool restaurant, I loved the decor. I equally love that everything is gluten free as it's difficult to avoid contamination. The sweet potato halloumi taco was mine and my fiance's fav and the Baddy Addy Red Pepper Marg had really good and interesting flavours!

Julie B.

Truly a perfect place for a good burger, fries, and a beer. And a varied menu for celiacs! I love this pub.

Sharon Robinson

We’ve dined at The Mule many times and it has been our go-to restaurant for eating out, especially since both my daughter and I are celiac and have always appreciated your gluten-free options and care. Unfortunately, our most recent visit to the Cambridge location was disappointing. The service fell very short of what we’ve come to expect. Our server got our drink orders wrong twice, and there was a noticeably long wait for our meals, despite the fact that the restaurant was not busy at all. We’ve always valued The Mule for its reliability and attentiveness, especially given our dietary needs, which makes this experience all the more disappointing We may not be returning.

Ali Crossley

Absolutely fantastic. Quick service and amazing gluten free options on menu….you wouldn’t even know it was vegan ;) the Kalimari is a absolute game changer!

Lili Mörschbächer

Wow! We are completely in love with this place! We stopped by for Father's Day because my husband is celiac, and we were so thrilled with the experience. First of all, we absolutely loved that they have separate fryers, and had already heard great things about the care they take with gluten-free food - they did not disappoint! There were so many amazing options. I’m now officially obsessed with their Beet & Pear salad, I was literally texting my friends while eating it because it was that good. My husband had the gluten-free chicken burger, which was super flavourful and perfectly crispy. And our toddler had the gluten-free chicken fingers and mac & cheese, she can be a picky eater, but she gobbled it all up! To top it off, we had the London Fog Crème Brûlée - not only was it delicious, but the portion was huge! We loved the whole experience and will definitely be back. I wish I had snapped a photo of the salad, but I did get one of the crème brûlée!

Sean McEvoy

Subpar vegan cheeses and gluten free pizza. Good garlic knots. Overrated and costly for low quality food

Alex Thompson

We loved this place. Best burger I’ve had in a very long time (bison burger), plus the waiter was first class. They catered really well for my coeliac wife and the beers they had from the 3 Bears local brewery were excellent too.

Debbie

The beer was good. The service was good. Unfortunately the food was not good. We came for the gluten free fish and chips. They were heavily deep fried and over cooked with a tiny thin layer of fish. Worst fish ever. The calamari was good and fried well so why was the fish over done? They did remove the charge but dinner was a disappointment.

Theresa K

I love that they have gluten free.

Kate Dupuis

We absolutely love Beertown — and more importantly, we trust Beertown. My fiancé has celiac disease, and it can be really tough to find restaurants where we feel safe AND enjoy great food with lots of options. Beertown is our #1 choice. They have a full gluten-free menu, always take extra care with his order, and he’s never been glutened here — not once. The atmosphere is always warm, welcoming, and a little trendy. Plus, their patio is fantastic — dog-friendly with beds and water bowls brought to your pup without even asking. Couldn’t recommend this location more!

Sara Pezzella

Gluten free pizza and sushi are all phenomenal!

Sandra M

I came in on April 4th, around 8pm, I was an hour late for my reservation, i was having major anxiety and felt like an ass for being so late. Your staff were unbelievably kind and helpful. The staff here were the absolutely nicest I have ever encountered. I was really struggling that day and everyone helped turn my day around (even though I know I was acting weird). I really needed a night out and I am really thankful to everyone. Also having a seperate gluten free menu is amazing!

Eric Shaw

Gluten restriction or not, this place did not disappoint with food or drinks! Service was also some of the best. Wish I could remember our server's name because he was awesome and knowledgeable of the menu.

Erika Geremia

Cool spot for dinner. Nice patio. Helpful waitstaff with LOTS of options for celiac and vegetarian

André Paris

I will however that the very busy bartender didn't know of his own establishments policies and practices surrounding gluten free. Everything is prepared separately. Use an app like find me GF if you want a more accurate picture of any establishment.

Darragh Greaney

Couldn’t recommend this place more. Staff were honestly amazing. Modified the menu for celiac and honestly was so so tasty. Hats off to the chefs! Special thanks to Kat, Paige and Darren. They were so welcoming and nice, one of best experiences we’ve had to date in Vancouver. Thank you all 🎉

Brenda Walker

Always a great experience! Especially the young lad helped a lady up out of her seat which impressed us! We took the time to tell him and the owner how impressed we were….. as a side note VERY celiac friendly which is why we went in the first place! This place will not disappoint….. Cassie you are the best too!

diana estrada

Best breakfast we ever had! We took my husband for his birthday and we love it! Foos is delicious and they have a lot of options, including GLUTEN FREE! We love it!!! Highly recommend

Alexander Andersen

Excellent food, even on the gluten-free side, and thank you, Amanda, for the excellent service

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

Beverly Trethewey

Once seated quickly, we were served a small cup of herbal tea as a welcome. Menu had a good variety and accommodated allergies and gluten requires professionally and with no issues. Meals were excellent. The server explained all they were doing to celebrate it's anniversary. A great community restaurant. Support local!!

Nixie Knox

So happy to find gluten free options. Raspberry cheesecake was good. Nanaimo bar was flavourless. When I was young they had a barely-sweet, chocolate graham cracker base, custard buttercream layer (sweet) and real semi sweet chocolate on top. Now, everywhere not just here, they have no contrast, every layer is sweer, no custard taste and the base is greasy like a keto fat-bomb. Curious if this was a change to the original recipe or new style of Nanaimo bar?

Stephanie Dion

I love the atmosphere and the staff is amazing, but the food is limited in terms of gluten-free options. I wish there were more healthy options for gluten-free. The brownie is too brownie box like.

Crystal Larocque

Perfect place for a first date, a good catch up with friends, and I’ve even had a couple of business meetings at this location. The restaurant is massive. I’ve had wings at the bar, patio drinks, and full parties in the back corner. The fact that there are so many options, including vegetarian and gluten-free is amazing. There’s a discount card to collect points, you can take beers to go home with you. There’s even a root beer for kids to enjoy as well. I can’t say enough good things about beer town. It’s the place that everyone enjoys. Brunch is a must have!!

Chelsea Vancouver

Love the cider flights and the desserts were especially great! Gluten free and vegetarian options available. Individual non gendered washrooms. I recommend making a reservation if you are going for dinner.

Madison Gobeil

Came to this restaurant for a team lunch before our game. I ordered a gluten free sandwich, had 2 bites of it, and thought to myself “this is too good to be gluten free bread”. Sure enough, after consulting with the server, they had incorrectly placed my order. Make no mistake, they were quick to get me set up with a new, gluten free sandwich. I was very impressed with the way their entire staff handled the situation and wouldn’t hesitate to come back to this restaurant in the future.

Julian Catalano

Anthony was an amazing server ! Checking in on us but not interrupting us at the same time ! I am celiac and was able to eat at this restaurant, the staff made me feel heard about my allergy and reassured me with the measures they would take to make my meal safe. Great place to go! Super cute decor and style.

Mariah Sobey

A MUST TRY! Joe makes the best gluten free crusts🤌🏻

My Gypsy Tale

Had dinner with My best friend and my mother last night. Shalena’s service was exceptional. My mum has food issues that can be a challenge. Shalena could not have been more accommodating. Mum often avoids going for dinner due to her FOD diet Mum was so happy to be so well taken care. Thank you for the exceptional service. They have a special deep fryers to accommodate people who are celiac and willing to adjust a dish to suit my mums food challenges. Cheers

Christina Bialik

Great food, great vibes, and best celiac friendly breakfast in town! (Also good for non-celiacs too)

Rob Aleksic

Pleasantly surprised with the vegan, gluten-free options and atmosphere. Would very much recommend this cozy dining place.

C D

if you have celiac go get the gluten free duck confit benedict crepe, trust me. also house made ice tea with maple syrup 😍

Patrick Baranski

Our CSSC team enjoys coming to the brewhouse to socialize and have some grub after/before our games! The atmosphere is unmatched and the food specials are great! Love the wings and they have loads of options for those who need to avoid the Gluten - be sure to speak to the staff and they will always give great recommendations. Wing nights are a hit! I hear their monthly steak nights are really good, I have yet to go a try it out!

danisa

Food was really good. Appetizers were a great size and well priced. Lots of gluten free options with a dedicated fryer. Look forward to visiting again.

Dave Smith

Dave's Genuine is comfort food—pure and simple—especially if you grew up eating deli sandwiches, or Kosher favorites like matzoh ball soup. The turkey club is probably my favorite sandwich of all time, and Dave's Genuine makes a killer one. Best of all, it can be made gluten-free—safe for someone who has Celiac disease, like me. In fact, Dave's Genuine makes a real effort to accommodate gluten allergies because the owner's daughter also has Celiac, so he understands the ins and outs of cross contamination. In my most recent order, Dave's even sent me a free batch of fries with a kind note on it, promising they're prepared separately and fried in their own GF fryer. After trying these fries for the first time—crispy and light, by the way—I knew I needed to write this review. The customer service here is truly impeccable, and so is the quality of the food. Pro-tip: Try the smoked meat, it's insanely good.

Vera Gauvin

Cairo was an amazing server! She was always checking in on us and asking if we needed anything. Her bubbly personality made our experience at Brewhouse that much better. Also, I loved your fun pens you were using. Especially the jumbo pencil you pulled out to take our order. Again, keep being an amazing server. I will be back to eat at Brewhouse again one day. The gluten free meal I ordered was so good. I will definitely be back to eat at Brewhouse.

Manon Hachey

Upon arriving, the hostess was great. Our server, Taylar, is a gem! Very knowledgeable, polite, and very pleasant. I wasn’t sure what to order and she pointed out some great items from the gluten free menu. I was very pleased to see such a great variety. She was very attentive to our needs and made sure she checked in at appropriate times. We always love going to GT’s. The food, drinks, music, and above all, the staff are great.

zachary knox

Good food and great service. Definitely the best option for celiac and gluten free in the calgary airport. Prompt service and a great relaxed atmosphere it was a highlight in an otherwise very delayed trip.

RIZZO 250

Really nice place to relax with a few drinks. Didn't have any food as we had just come from a café but we did get a flight and oh my god. I need to go back to get more if that blueberry basil. Until I do it will stay in my dreams, Highly recommend checking it out. They had indoor outdoor seating. Their menu had things marked as Gluten Free although since we didn't order im not sure if they have a designated fryer or not. Thankyou for the wonderful service staff, you were all so nice 😊

Νικος Γιουτλος

One of the best experience that we had. Many gluten-free options. Good job guys!!!

Picked up a gluten free lunch today, $30 for 1 meal is kinda ridiculous. I got pasta with the burger and it was an added $8 up charge to get a small portion of gross pasta. The pasta was horrible, very clearly reheated (not well) and definitely a day or 2 old. I could have made Kraft dinner that tasted better than their barely reheated pasta. I don’t know if they changed chefs but their pasta used to be amazing. Very disappointing

Jessica Dorado

Fantastic spot for dinner. Highly recommend the trout dish! Their staff are also always so attentive to my gluten free restrictions, making for an amazing dining experience!
