Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots Across Canada with Dedicated GF Fryers

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 🥰

This was an amazing place for some glutenfree areperas /sandwiches! Staff was super nice, music was good, open kitchen and most of all, food was super tasty!! Would definitely recommend

Rob Clark

Great gluten free menu, lots of choice.

Jen Dale

I loved this place! No symptoms at all. I had the chicken strips and buffalo cauliflower... SO good! Since my diagnosis I never through I would eat fried chicken again, so this option made my day :)

We got the tempura, some sushi, swordfish, bruschetta! Everything was unreal. The cocktails and mocktails were very well made too! Fully Gluten Free restaurant which was amazing for celiacs! Highly recommend.

Sonia Cloutier

Excellent restaurant, very good and homemade meal! Impeccable service and very friendly owner. A restaurant this good and 100% gluten-free is rare these days. I live 2 hours from Quebec City and I will return. I recommend 12 stars out of 10.

angela k

Great find! everything was gluten free! so many options and not needing to ask for modifications for gluten free! and the food was delicious! 10/10 would recommend!

Marissa Hay

Whoever we interacted with (I think the owner?) was very attentive to my friend and I, and the other patrons. I loved that everything what gluten free!! The food was classic and delicious. The frozen fish to take home looked vibrant and yummy too!

David Alexander

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

Leanne Gilbert

Soooooo good!! Highly recommend whether you need to eat gluten free or not! Super fresh, hot & fantastic tasting gluten free Chinese food. It's better than any "regular" Chinese food I'd had prior to being diagnosed celiac. Everything we tried was delicious - fried rice, chop suey, chicken balls, general tao chicken, etc. but my favourite was the honey garlic pork. Everything was so good we ordered more food for takeout to go along with our leftovers from dinner. Also a great selection of frozen items. It was well worth the hour & a half drive for us to get there & we'll definitely make the trip to get there a few times a year!

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.

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!

What a wonderful discovery! Gluten- and dairy-free cakes, truly delicious and not too sweet—the best! I had the chocolate and pistachio-raspberry ones for a birthday party, and everyone loved them. They were delicious, light, and easy to digest. Thank you for these wonderful, healthy alternatives; I highly recommend them!

Dana

Delicious, so many gluten free options. Sweet & Savoury

Jodie TC

Amazing menu, I could literally eat everything. Super friendly staff. Our waiter had a gluten intolerance so I’m wondering if his dietary requirements are a reason for the great menu. All desserts were gf and I could eat the fries, first time in a 2 week road trip I’ve been able to do this! Gorgeous pub with outdoor seating and a river nearby.

Gurleen Pandher

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.

Since I've been gluten-free (almost two years!), this is one of the few places where I finally feel "normal" when I order a dessert, a loaf of bread, or a delicious meal without having to worry. Everything is delicious, safe, and made with love. Suzie Sans Gluten has literally changed my life. Their caring team, incredible products, and warm atmosphere make every visit a joy.

Lorin Smith

Came back 3 times! The chicken sandwich and corndog is a MUST! Loved the shoe pastry donuts the best!

James H

Thank you SO MUCH for all the gluten free options. Amazing service. Place could do a masterclass on poached eggs (my grandmother would have been very impressed)

Johnny Manny

Got take out here. Amazing they have good gluten free options. They fish isn’t greasy , yet crisp. Portions are good. I would highly recommend

Dan Ket

Didn’t eat here but checked out the menu. Pizzas $30+

Julieanne

Perhaps the best restaurant in QC. Food, drinks, service, vibe… all amazing! It all felt fresh, clean, and intentional. Loved that everything was gluten free in such a gluten-heavy place. I nearly cried eating the pouding chomeur. Don’t sleep on this spot. De premier ordre!

Lindsey Campbell

Me and my son love this place, as it’s a really good gluten free option, that actually tastes good! Would definitely recommend!

Hippy Happy

I was so happy to find a fully vegan bakery in Ottawa, I never would've guessed that it was gluten free :) and kosher and nut free. I stopped here for brunch and got a cinnamon roll, a banana chocolate muffin and a berry iced tea slushie. All DELICIOUS!

Absolutely worth going to. Yes my short review is biased, but if you read the longer version below. It’ll make sense. Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Speed: 10/10 For the longer review - those who care to read: I won't pretend the restaurant is like a five-star hotel. In comparison to your top high-end luxury restaurants, it would be four stars. But you can't compare apples to oranges. The one most crucial thing to note is the belief, the idea, and the story behind the restaurant. They are specially tailored to people who have strict allergy requirements. My personal needs are to avoid gluten, nuts, egg, and more. Try that anywhere else…. Most places will just "nicely" shoo you away—and while I understand any restaurant ultimately is a business to cater to the masses, those of us who have strict, deathly dietary requirements can finally experience a place to dine without fear. To enjoy a time with family and friends eating the same things. To experience the fun and joy of picking at another person's plate. For those reasons, and to me, it's better than any Michelin-star restaurant. If you have allergies to gluten, if you have celiac disease, you can finally share the experience too. You may come out an emotional train wreck like me.

Winnie's has been a go to for my daughter who has Celiac. We have only purchased their desserts and she LOVES them. Maybe one day we will try some of their other food items. If you are looking for a CAKE you need to pre-order. They have various flavors available.

J T

Always fantastic food and friendly service! Online stuff needs work though - online ordering perpetually says "coming soon" and the website menu is often out of date. But I'll give them a pass for that because the ability to go to a restaurant as a celiac and safely order anything I want off the menu is so fantastically wonderful I can't take a star off for such a small oversight.

Paul Roney

Hands down, one of the best REAL gluten free places in Calgary.

Valerie Cote

My daughter and her husband took me out for dinner last night and chose this restaurant because it was gluten free. What a win! They were featuring a concert band and we were seated in the first seat, right beside them. We thought at first that it would be too noisy, and it was! But what fun! As my daughter said, "We get to visit all the time, but when do we get to be entertained like this?" As expected, the food was great and I didn't have to worry about being sick. It was very special, and we will be back.

Mary Clare Nolan

My boyfriend is celiac and we have heard many great things about this place being gluten friendly so we gave it a try. Our server was kind of rude, like she never smiled and looked like something was annoying her and that she didn’t want to be there (it was a busy Friday night which is understandable, but still, I felt a little uncomfortable with her). My boyfriend got a GF pizza and I got a regular one. They tasted really good and mine was so big that I brought the other half home with me (the GF pizza is significantly smaller than the regular one FYI, we were hoping that it would be at least around the same size as a regular one considering how they present themselves as GF. Not a huge problem but it still seems unfair). The next morning, my boyfriend was feeling symptoms as if he had gluten. He had definitely ordered the GF crust, so we are thinking it is maybe the pizza sauce or the meat contains gluten. Perhaps it is a misunderstanding on our part as he didn’t specify to the server that he is celiac, but you would think that if something is made GF, all the ingredients would be GF. Anyways we won’t be going back there which is a shame because there are lots of GF options on the menu that you can’t really find anywhere else around.

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.

Victor

To be honest, I prefer their gluten-free fish n chips over other non-GF fish n chips I’ve had in the past.

Evelyn Akow

Food is great lots of gluten free options !

Monica Lantz

Cannot recommend more! It was safe for celiacs and even made a carnivore say he could become vegetarian. Really beautiful and tasty food! The staff is so polite and kind.

Jen Dale

Very very good sushi! The menu has a few items marked that cannot be gluten free, but the default is that everything is celiac safe. The waitress was very knowledgeable. Great experience!

Jaqueline Renaud

Gluten friendly food and the staff are very helpful with making the best gf choices! Evelyn was an awesome server! Will come back!

akash maan

This bakery is a gluten-free paradise! Every treat is 100% gluten-free and absolutely delicious. Perfect for those with dietary restrictions or anyone craving tasty, safe baked goods. Highly recommend!

Mélanie Loranger

Several gluten-free choices and they take extreme care to avoid cross-contamination, excellent service, I will definitely be back.

Sarah F

Absolutely LOVE this spot, have eaten in-restaurant twice over the last year, and ordered delivery multiple times, with someone Celiac at home we have NEVER had any issues with gluten! Food is delicious and fresh, service is spectacular, honestly absolutely love this place! We’ve had oysters, fish & chips, tacos, poutine (also a fan of their vegan options for poutine, garlic aioli and tartar sauce!), their deep fried Oreos are to die for, and the selections for beers and drinks are always nice! (Ps, sorry for the almost demolished food pic, have tried and failed to take a picture before digging in for almost a year now)

Jenna M

! Celiac disease friendly ! So many options/substitutions for celiacs. My husband was able to enjoy a breakfast sandwich with home fries... that looked and tasted great! The pricing was fair and affordable which was also a plus. This will be our go to spot when visiting Toronto.

Heather Cooke

Food and service was fantastic. Lots of gluten-free options and staff was very knowledgeable about celiac needs. We would definitely visit again!

Heidi Smith

Celiac friendly They have a dedicated fryer and their staff are super friendly and conscientious. It is such a relief to be treated so kindly when you have food allergies. The food is scrumptious and being by the water on a sunny afternoon/evening is a little piece of heaven.

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.

Isabella Herring

Great gluten free options!

Pascal Ferron

As a celiac, this is the place to eat!

David Torbett

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!!

Lance L. Unser

I’m a Celiac and they had so many options for me it was AMAZING. I haven’t had Sushi and Tempura Shrimp and Calamari in YEARS The staff are amazing so helpful and it was so much fun. Words cannot describe how wonderful this experience was

Nancy Labonté

The quality has declined in recent years. However, they do make gluten-free options that are safe for celiacs. Book in advance.
