My favorite place to go every time I visit Vancouver. It’s one of the best gluten free bakeries I know (and I like to visit lots of gluten free bakeries)

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 chicken sandwich and gluten free which is fantastic! Will definitely be back.

Gluten-free specialty store. I was very satisfied with the taste, which didn't feel like it was gluten-free. The employees are kind and it's a recommended place. Some people can also speak Korean.

Henry Reimer

I don't have any problem with gluten. This is just a great bakery.

Danielle Truong

Delicious fish and chips, super appreciate the separate frier for gluten free items.

Dana

Delicious, so many gluten free options. Sweet & Savoury

vancouver’s cutest (and tastiest) ice cream sandwich spot! 🍪🍨 Innocent Ice Cream Parlour is such a gem — gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and absolutely packed with flavor. I grabbed a cookie sandwich with chocolate mint ice cream and it blew me away. The cookies are soft, the ice cream is rich, and the vibe is super cozy with its pink-themed decor. Great spot for a late-night treat! Staff were friendly and helpful, and the fact that it’s allergy-conscious makes it a go-to for everyone. Highly recommend if you're craving something sweet, stylish, and inclusive.

Jessica Kearney

Amazing little find! I had the sausage breakfast bagel it tasted like Tim Hortons ! Donuts are amazing too!

Laura Parce

Fabulous gluten-free bakery, we had baguette sandwiches, my husband is not gluten-free and he thought it was great. My rhubarb tart was delicious

Rebecca Berenger

100% recommend trying out this place if you have not yet. We ordered BBQ pork fried rice, spicy garlic prawns and crispy ginger beef. Portion size was really good for what I paid. I was very pleased and happy to find a resturant that has food I like that all the items I ordered here are gluten free.

Erynne Green

Best gluten free bread I've ever had. Light, fluffy, and actually turns golden when you toast it. So delicious.

Dr. Sanjiv Sharma

A fine dining place facing white rock pier . Gluten free options are there

Wendy Fraser

Best fish and chips in the valley!! And gluten free as well.

Morgan A.

Solid 5 stars!!! EVERYTHING is gluten free. The cafe is beautiful and so zen. I got a green onion & cheddar scone and was recommended the blueberry apple crumble muffin. Delicious!

Cheri Miles

I go here every time I'm in Sidney. The gluten free options are amazing 🤩

danielle simpson

Be love is quite literally the best restaurant we've ever dined at. We've been several times now and have never been disappointed. The quality and portions are consistent, flavors are unbelievable. Everything is so fresh, you can really feel the love poured into every dish. A dream spot for anyone who is vegan and/or gluten free but ive also dined there with friends who are neither who have said it's the best food they've had. Keep doing what you're doing, its magic! ❤️🌷🙏

danisa

Fave gluten free bakery in Kits. The turkey & cheese croissant is a favorite. Alongside their paninis and sweet baked goods. I enjoy stopping here for takeout to bring to the beach for a morning breakfast or late lunch.

Adam Highway

My husband and I brought a couple of out of town friends here Wednesday night, as we've always enjoyed the food before. There were SOME problems that night - mistakes with the orders, etc - but I can't praise Agatha enough! She was extremely friendly, apologetic for any issues, very attentive to me (celiac) and made the whole experience an absolute pleasure. The food was delicious, as always. I highly recommend visiting!

Hannah Staples

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!

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

A D

Our poutine came out just warm, but was tasty. The onion rings were really good. Cool vibe in there. Fantastic gluten free and vegan options. Totally vegetarian restaurant.

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.

Justin Malhi

Service and atmosphere are great but food is beyond mid and overpriced considering the lack of real flavour, definitely not the most enjoyable sushi, iki is miles better for gluten free folks. But this place was alright.

Ronda Stewart

Let me start with “I don’t leave a review very often”. We ate at Sopra Sotto two nights in a row it was that good. The first night we took a seat at the bar rather than wait for a table and the second night we asked to sit at the bar because of the wonderful service and interactions we had with Ruairi. Ruairi not only entertained us while we watched him making multiple cocktails but he also made great menu recommendations. The Gnocchi with Braised Beef, Rigatoni Fume Pasta and Lava Chocolate dessert were amazing. This is the best restaurant we have been to in seven weeks of travelling. The name of the restaurant is misleading because whilst the pizzas looked amazing it has quite an extensive variety of pasta, antipasti and desserts with a great wine list and cocktails. I ordered gluten free pasta and desert to share with my husband and he couldn’t tell the difference….their gluten free options are that good.

Kaila Motz

BEST PLACE FOR GLUTEN FREE/VEGAN FINE DINING!!! Super fancy, absolutely delicious, amazing atmosphere with the live musicians. My fiance and I were swooning over how luxurious our anniversary dinner was. Its been a long time since we've found a place that meets our dietary restrictions AND makes us feel like we had a real fancy night out. Cannot recommend this place enough. Also, try the silk route feast! Its worth every penny!!🤤

Darina Stegnii

Absolutely incredible place! Very nice atmosphere, friendly and fast service, delicious bright and sophisticated menu. Gluten-free dishes. I recommend to everyone!

Linda Gavsie

Lots of options for celiacs

Sarah Desrosiers

The food: Phenomenal. The smoothies are great, the bowls are savory and full of great stuff, the banh mi wrap is my all time favourite... everything is good, filling and healthy! One of the only places I can eat at that doesn't hurt my stomach afterwards (the girls get it). They serve fast, it's easy to order ahead and have meals that are ready to be taken out and cooked at home. The service: Even better. They are kind, accommodating, personable and don't judge you when you've ordered the same thing three days in a row. The location: Feels like a community space. They always have posters of local events, host local artists and it is wheelchair accessible! Based on all my experience there, I'd also say they are neurodivergent friendly - always patient, don't mind repeating themselves and are willing to adjust. FYI: I'm not vegan or gluten-intolerant. :) I just love good food. Keep it up!

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.

Donna Macdonald

What a great place for a Celiac to eat. Not only do they have a Gluten Free menu but they also have a dedicated part of the kitchen to prepare food With a dedicated fryer. A couple of options for a great GF beer as well.

Erik Standaert

East is East is hands-down one of the most unique and soulful dining experiences you’ll find in the city. From the moment you walk in, you’re enveloped by the cozy, bohemian vibe—dim lighting, live music, and aromatic spices drifting from the kitchen. The décor and ambiance transport you somewhere between Istanbul and Kathmandu. I highly recommend the “Chai Feast”—a rotating selection of dishes from across the Silk Road served tapas-style. Every bite is rich, layered, and made with love. Personal standouts: the Afghan eggplant, lamb kebabs, and the mango butternut squash stew. And don’t miss their house chai—refillable, spiced to perfection, and served with a smile. The staff are warm and knowledgeable, and the entire experience feels like you’re a guest in someone’s beautifully curated home. Whether you’re a meat-eater, vegan, or gluten-free, there’s something flavorful and nourishing here for you. This isn’t just dinner—it’s a cultural experience. Perfect for date night, out-of-town visitors, or when you just need a warm soul-hug in the form of food.

Alice Trombley

Thank you for making pizza that I can actually eat that tastes amazing. Finding a gluten-free/dairy-free pizza that doesn’t taste like chemicals and sadness is a true feat. ❤️

Chris Barron

Amazing for gluten free / coeliac. All tacos GF and no concerns about being able to cater safely. Delicious tacos!

Leonor Barradas

The food was delicious! We ordered a stir and a chicken lemongrade to share and both were really tasty. Our fav was the beaf stir. We will come back for sure. The service was also excellent. Most of the menu was gluten free.

Cameron Shier

This place is great! Love the food and the yam fries, The service is friendly, and it's awesome that they have gluten free buns!

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.

Sophie Wright

Good quality, nice Gluten free options, and kind staff.

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 🎉

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

I have been a longtime customer of Big Feast since it opened. I did slow down over the years just due to costs. I have gone back a few times in the last year and have not at all been very impressed (it's not like it used to be). 1.Today I went for brunch, we decided to sit outside but noticed after a bit that it was a bit chilly, so we got our menus and went back in to request to sit inside. Our server told us their heaters were not working this morning then went to get someone else with an unwelcoming facial expression who made a point of saying it is our policy we do not change tables and reluctantly sat us inside. Note it was not at all busy. I am not sure why she made a point of telling us about the policy, it did nothing but make us feel bad like we did something wrong. Instead, she could have said sure no problem and sat us inside without mentioning the policy OR let us know the rules ahead time. 2. The food was overpriced for what you get. I ordered the Thai curry. It lacked flavor and tasted of salt and vinegar. I had the same thing a couple of weeks ago at the cactus club and t was so delicious and cost the same. I had a sweet tooth and went to the showcase and ordered the pecan pie. It was not good at all hard as a rock and no flavor at all. I got my bill, and the pie was shockingly 10$ for a slice. Absurd. I can make whole gluten free homemade pie myself that tastes like something. 7$ may have been a better price. I said to the server the pie was 10$ and she says yep smugly and said it is homemade and the whole pie costs 75$. Ok thanks. If you need a good pie go to Hansel and Gretal bakery. No More Big Feast

Alexander Andersen

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

Jessica Doig

Gluten free waffles with caramel sauce and sautéed bananas. Amazing!! You can also substitute the gf waffles as a savoury base for their eggs Benedicts. So scrumptious!

Danny Vanderbyl

Absolutely some of the most delicious food I had in my life! I had the Mexican street tacos, which was not a big portion, but the flavour was immense. I travel a lot and this place is outstanding, I will be back bringing 10 friends! 🤩🤩🤩 I only wished I had eaten here before so many times! Gluten-free by default and lots of dairy-free options. I even had room for delicious gluten-free dairy-free fried plantain for dessert with agave syrup subbed for the chocolate and whip. Yummy!! 😋 No wonder they won so many awards!

Gail Bailey

Absolutely delicious and so many gluten free choices!!

Matt

Best churros I've ever had. Service was friendly with a unique atmosphere. Totally gluten free too

Justin Malhi

Pancakes were cool, the overall restaurant is great for gluten free people as well
