Top 50 Gluten-Free Cocktail Bars to Experience in Ontario

KM

My husband has celiac and so we never eat anywhere that is 100% GF. I had read great reviews online about Riz’s and when we were there on a trip I pushed for us to go and try it. I am so glad I did, every dish we tried was delicious. I loved how soft and tender the dumplings were, the Peking duck and wrappers were amazing. The Peking dumpling special were so flavorful and tender. We over ordered at the table knowing we would take it all back to the hotel for us to to reheat and eat the rest of the week. Peking Duck for breakfast is something everyone should try, it was amazing the next morning still. The owner was so gracious and friendly, we listened to every recommendation and was thrilled with everything we had. We even took one of each dessert home and they were all amazing. I highly recommend eating here for celiacs and non celiacs alike. It is so wonderful to find a place that understands the importance of a GF completely safe no cross contamination kitchen AND also makes the most delicious Asian food you can have. While we didn’t have every item on the menu we did try a lot of plates and every single plate was delicious. We will ALWAYS come back when in Toronto, this restaurant is such a win, I wish they delivered to Brooklyn 🥰

Amazing 100% gluten free restaurant

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!

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.

My wife has been wanting to try this place for a little while now! It was worth the wait! She found out about it on Tic Toc! We had an awesome meal with all the dips! This place is 100% gluten free. My wife is just figuring out about gluten and she had a complete worry free dinner!! We had the Dip Dip Dip hooray and we tried 4 different kinds of tacos! Well priced, amazing service and the food is absolutely amazing! 10/10!!

Janice Mccormack

it was a great meal. 5 of us with different allergies, and ever one was happy. thanks

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!

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.

Anthony Mancini

The food was very good. The fish is cooked in a cider batter that is gluten free. Many other items on the menu that are gluten free. I would rate the wings as on the higher quality end comparatively. Service was good. The waitress was attentive and knowledgeable on the menu. We were seated promptly without reservations. I would try a different dessert next time. The one pictured wasn't bad but not my taste. I would recommend this location.

Katie R

I have celiac disease and they were very accommodating and knew their stuff. Plenty of GF options. One of my best restaurant experiences since being diagnosed. Food was good and service was great.

Krystle Manintveld

Food is decent. It's great that they have a gluten free eggs benny. Potatoes were definitely undercooked. It is always busy and a zoo to get in - not necessarily worth the wait to get in.

Syndia Wysocka

Went in toray with my kids and husband to celebrate my 29th birthday and joe was amazing not only did he make us feel great he accommodated towards my daughters celiac diease and would double check on everything for her

I had a fantastic experience at Turtle Jack’s Niagara Falls! From start to finish, everything was spot on. I tried the Bang Bang Shrimp (crispy and flavorful), tomato soup (comforting and rich), baby back ribs (fall-off-the-bone tender), wings (perfectly sauced), and the 10oz California Cut New York Striploin juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The atmosphere gives cozy cottage vibes right in the heart of Niagara Falls, and the menu has something for everyone, including gluten-free and vegetarian options. Special shoutout to Olivia, our server she was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Her service was exceptional! Highly recommend for anyone visiting Niagara Falls and looking for great food, great service, and a welcoming vibe.

Katt Krieger

Fantastic food! Had the blue raspberry glitter bomb and added strawberry boba, 100% recommend. Food is very flavourful and has gluten free and vegan options. Would come again

Kate De Sousa

Traveling through and was looking for a place that could accommodate gluten free. I had a sandwich and fries! It was absolutely delicious! I haven’t been able to eat fries in a restaurant for years! The food was fresh and had amazing flavor!

Mollybedenim

Sasha gave us wonderful service and our food was amazing! We had a friend with celiac with us and they accommodated her very well!

Claire Branigan

We had Sabs as our server and she was so lovely and helpful with my gluten free restriction and found me something that I would enjoy!

Al B.

Great food and atmosphere. We had the Egg Salmon Benedict, Fish Tacos, and Churros. Food was fresh and flavorful and food portion was great with lots of garnish. Establishment was inviting, colorful, clean and organized with lots of customers. The only negative thing I have to say was for the Egg Salmon Benedict we asked for gluten free bread and we were charged an extra $4 for it even though it didn't show an additional cost on the menu and it was an option. It would've been nice if our waiter told us before we ordered. For prices the Egg Salmon Benedict price was $22, Fish Tacos $17,99 and Churros $8.99. I would come back again as the food was delicious and fresh.

Nive Pandit

Amazing food..freshly prepared bread. Gluten free options available. Delicious taste. The only reason i gave 4 star and not 5 is because the pasta (ordered gluten free) was under cooked.. the reason that they gave was it was because its gluten free, its texture feels like its undercooked..wasnt convinced.. coz i have had gluten free pasta before. Would have appreciated if they just accepted that it was undercooked.

Erica M

I love Beertown. Not just because they satisfy my foodie cravings for meat, nutrition and flavour…but also because they cater to the dairy and gluten-free side of me with an ENTIRE MENU OF GOODNESS.

Wai-Lee Lau

We had a great experience. Service was great. Food was yummy. There was a dessert flight at the end. We had a couple of food allergies and gluten intolerance and they were very accommodating.

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.

Dawn Yager

I’m gluten free and they know their food, I was able to eat without a worry

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

Sarah Beal

Amazing experience here, the food, the drinks, the customer service and attentiveness from the waitstaff is a breath of fresh air! Our server Brie was a complete sweetheart and took outstanding care of us, making sure that my food allergies (celiac disease) were taken care of and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a cozy, fun, lively atmosphere with delicious food and a waitstaff who cares! Your food allergies are safe here, you won’t have to worry about a thing!

Leah Armstrong

Marley was the sweetest!!!!!! And we had THE BEST GLUTEN free pizza I have EVER had. 100% 10 stars

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!

Melissa Mallari

First time dining at Rustica - awesome experience. Our party of 5 sat on their beautiful patio, decked out with plants and flowers. Our server Thomas was fantastic. Very knowledgeable with all our questions and made great recommendations. Everything was incredibly tasty, highly recommend the sweet chili nduja pizza and cacio e pepe! One celiac in the family loved the gluten free gnocchi, too. Will definitely return next time in Orillia. Thanks, Thomas!!

Tracy Ashton

Ben is wonderful. I am celiac. He took good care of me. My pizza was prepared separately from the glutinous food. And I was filled to the brim and still had left overs.

Michaela Storoschuk

WOW. For a Thursday, what an experience. It was a vibrant, energetic dining experience. I have a gluten and dairy allergy. Worry? NEVER! The wait staff were diligent, caring and prompt. Immaculate. And all the food was a tasty lil treat to the palette. And BONUS… cocktail hour 😎

Melissa-Ann Ledo

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

Suzanne Borghese

OUR DRINKS AND FISH N CHIPS WERE DELICIOUS! BOTH THE GLUTEN-FREE & STANDARD PORTIONS WERE HUGE!! We ordered our drinks just before 5 and were thrilled to be extended the Happy Hour discount from the bar! THE STAFF WERE DELIGHTFUL, EFFICIENT AND MADE OUR EXPERIENCE LOVELY. We waited a little long to be noticed and seated when the place was quiet inside. Actually had to step in to get someone's attention. High top table chairs are near impossible to pull yourself into the table with and our table was so wobbly we had to ask for it to be adjusted. Having to leave the restaurant to get to the bathroom to wash your hands etc before/during your dining experience is a little frustrating and odd to return back to your seat through the entrance past folks waiting to be seated.

Cortnee Pope

Mary was our server, very friendly. Also we loved the gluten free options!

Trevor Dell

Great spot for lunch! Accommodates gluten free with perfection

heather mcfadden

We dine at Il Fornello Ajax often. Food is consistently delicious. Service is always amazing as are the staff. So glad this restaurant is located in our home city. Great place to eat. Gluten free and vegan options too if you have friends or family with any dietary restrictions. Can book reservations online on TBDINE or Can order for pickup or delivery as well Always a great experience here.

Luisa Kuarsingh

The Keg Heartland never disappoints! The restaurant is large, accessible, has a substantial bar, plenty of seating options and relaxed but sophisticated atmosphere. The customer service is exceptional, consistently friendly, attentive and thorough. Their portions are generous, and the food is always fresh, appetizing and prepared to perfection. They offer a comprehensive menu with gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options, and cater to dietary restrictions such as reduced salt. With regard to food and drinks, everything on the menu is delicious but my favourites include the mouth watering steaks, garlic mashed potatoes, caesar salad, lobster bisque, crab cakes, cheesecake, Billy Miner Pie and red sangria. We have been coming here for years and are always incredibly satisfied with the service, food and overall dining experience, making it a family favourite for celebrations and dinners out. Highly recommend it!

Singh Family

I came in looking for gluten free and vegetarian options. While the options are slightly limited, the food was AMAZING. Mile the server was so kind to customize our order so that I had a delicious meal. He knew exactly when to check in on us and when to give us some time to enjoy our food. It was such a beautiful experience. The cocktails were also amazing! The options and the taste made me feel like I was in Mexico again.

Alfred Amaya

Nadia Larouche

The service here is fantastic. The menu changes with the season, which keeps it fresh and interesting. The menu is very gluten friendly, with lots of excellent substitutions. They are by far the most accommodating restaurant for gluten sensitivities.

Stevie

Love this place! So many gluten free/vegan/vegetarian options that are actually delicious! The atmosphere is also very cute and the rooftop patio is lovely! Expect to come by when you have some time to relax and enjoy the experience as the food doesn’t always come out super fast but it’s been delicious every time Our server, Imaan was also absolutely lovely!

Cesar Harrison

Aaron Chan

The food was delicious. The gluten-free bread is one of the best. Our servers Chariss and Jaylin were great.

Lilly Rendulic

I always enjoy the gluten free menu options here…especially the coconut curry dish. Server Elwira was friendly.

Tyler Nathan

Alyssia was very nice and accommodating for gluten and other allergies. Food was fantastic!

Katy Phillips

Delicious meal! Friendly and helpful staff. Menu was clearly marked on options that are gluten free.

Lena Jang

You won’t be disappointed!! My daughter recently got diagnosed with celiac disease so it is extremely important for us to have everything gluten free for her. As she’s only 5, her options were very limited in terms of the menu.. (she’s a picky eater as well) I called a few days before and explained our situation and the kitchen manager assured that they will accommodate for us by having us bring in GF hamburger bun for her. They assured us that her food won’t be cross-contaminated! Her fries were baked separately as well! I was very grateful with the whole staff who were above and beyond with their service! Not to mention excellent food!! Our server was amazing as well!! Thanks again for everything❤️

Michaela Storoschuk

A gem of Brantford. Small and inviting with a show of flaming dishes, Fume blends a chic exposed industrial interior with decadence, and serves food to match. The service was quick and efficient with honest servers, recommending household faves. Celiac friendly, and can I just say, I’ve never had better shrimp tacos in my life.

Alice Leung

Tabule has always been my favourite restaurant, my top choice for lunch in the neighborhood. The menu offers a variety of healthy options including gluten free items. The staff here are all pleasant and helpful especially Mina. I look forward to see her there every time.

Ratna Rao

Kareena took very care of us and she was very sensitive to our food habits - some of us were vegetarians and one friend gluten friendly - we enjoyed our special day - ty 😊

Arash JENAB

Turtle Jack’s is a solid spot I’ve been to multiple times, often before a weekly event with a friend. The burgers are consistently good, and the staff are always friendly. The atmosphere is cozy, and pricing is reasonable for what you get. One standout item I’d recommend is their New York Style burger—it comes with a thick slice of bacon or cold cut, and it’s seriously delicious. They also offer a gluten-free menu, which is helpful if you ask for it. Overall, it’s a reliable and comfortable place to grab a bite in the area.
