Top 11 Gluten-Free Cocktail Bars to Experience in Vancouver

John Paul was an amazing server that went above and beyond to make our experience fun and memorable. He is a kind human who made us feel special and this really meant a great deal because my friends and I met for my birthday. We love the location and the food, but seriously Twigs is lucky to have John Paul on their staff. Thank you! I also appreciate that they have a vegan and a gluten free menu upon request.

Spoke to one of the owners and he was very accommodating of my glutenfree needs. Had the beef brisket nachos and enjoyed the smokey flavor. Tried the "OAKspresso" martini and it was amazing!

Love Amaro's Table. We hadn't come to this location yet, but heard good things and have enjoyed the offerings at the DT location in the past. Great food and a nice selection of cocktails. Despite not labeling their menu items, they are gluten friendly and take care to handle your food safely. I had the steak sandwich on GF bun and it was amazing. Gluten-Free Rating: 3.5/5 Menu does not list what is GF or what can be made GF except for the GF buns offered with the sandwiches. When asked, the server did call out a few items that were or could be made GF so there are some options for those of us who need to avoid gluten. It would be helpful for them to add this information to their menu items so that those of us who browse online menus before visiting a restaurant might be more inclined to stop in. That said, we'll be back now that we know!

Cecilia is specializes in brunch, Mexican cuisine, and breakfast dishes, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The ambiance is cozy, but some diners feel it’s not ideal for a romantic dinner. Popular dishes include Eggs Benedict with Beet-Cured Steelhead Lox, Biscuits and Gravy with Bacon and Eggs, and Tres Leches French Toast and seafood omelette, shrimp and grits, chilaquiles, biscuits and gravy, Dutch baby pancake, and their signature doughnuts with berry compote as standouts. The cocktails, including Bloody Marys and creative mixes like the “Walk of Shame,” receive strong compliments. The restaurant features a modern French countryside-inspired decor that is cozy and trendy, creating a pleasant atmosphere for special occasions or casual dining. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and providing excellent service, often going the extra mile with personalized touches such as handwritten birthday notes and complimentary treats. Cecilia also offers gluten-free options, though without gluten-free bread.

We were in the area and decided to try them based on some great reviews- especially of their knowledge of gluten free cooking. Their new menus didn't have the gluten free labeling like their online menu did, so we asked. We were told the coconut shrimp was gf, so we ordered that. Our waitress came back out shortly after informing us they were actually not gf, but the crab puffs were, so we ordered those. They came out (along with the tofu fries which were good), and I had a gut feeling they weren't gf. I looked online and they weren't labeled gf and even said they used immigration crab, which is not gf. I'm so glad I was skeptical. I saved myself from days of being sick and in pain had I eaten them. In addition, the pad thai came out with ingredients not listed on the menu, so I had to stop eating that after only a few bites due to some other sensitivities. My partner said his food was good, so as a normal restaurant, they might be fine; however, as a place for people who have food allergies or sensitivities (especially Celiac), I do not recommend them at all.

Great food and drinks. Alejandro was our server, and he was very attentive and helpful. I am gluten free and appreciated the extra effort they made for me.
