I needed a gluten-free option first thing in the morning. Odd request, I know, but there was a man ordering the most delicious looking Chicken Parmasan on a bun at 9:30 am, and I got a sandwich with a gluten-free bun, absolutely delicious 😋
A Culinary Haven in Oshawa - A Personal Favorite!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The White Apron Restaurant holds a special place in my heart, & it has consistently been a favourite of mine every time I revisit Oshawa. Introduced by a friend in 2019, this culinary haven has never failed to impress.
One of the standout features for me is their dedication to accommodating dietary preferences. The fact that they offer gluten-free toast & French toast is a game-changer, especially for someone like me who is celiacs. It's a rare find & adds an extra layer of love for this spot.
The food itself is nothing short of delicious, & the portion sizes are generous. Many of the meals are so hearty that they can easily be shared, making it a perfect spot for a communal dining experience.
The staff at The White Apron are the true gems. Their super-friendly, helpful, & kind demeanour adds to the overall welcoming atmosphere. It's evident that they are passionate about what they do, & their dedication to ensuring a positive dining experience is truly commendable.
Now, let's address the only minor hiccup—the parking situation. Being located downtown, parking can be a bit tricky, but it's by no means unmanageable. The inconvenience is a small price to pay for the culinary delights that await inside.
In conclusion, The White Apron Restaurant is a true gem in Oshawa, & my personal favourite. The dedication to accommodating various dietary needs, coupled with delicious food & exceptional staff, makes it a must-visit. The parking challenge is a minor detail compared to the overall joy this restaurant brings. Highly recommended!
The gluten-free items are clearly marked on the menu. As we were having lunch with a friend who is celiac, this made a huge difference. We all enjoyed the patio and our meal.
Their gluten free options are incredibly good - non-GF is too. Just delicious food, absolutely worth the price, and the staff are always so lovely and accommodating.
Two weeks in a row we needed gluten free birthday cakes for members of our family and both times they were fantastic. Our first was the gluten free red velvet cake and the second was raspberry. Even those who do not eat gluten free in our family loved the cakes (and they’re beautiful!). I’m so glad we discovered this bakery, we will be back!
Had a really amazing lunch here! Staff were super friendly, accommodating for our baby and my husband's celiac disease. There are a lot of gluten free options, and all the food was so delicious. We will be back soon!
Ate here a few days ago at the insistence of my husband who raved about the grilled caesar salad. It did not disappoint. So my review is based on that item alone. Our server Jaimy was very friendly and knowledgable with regard to the menu (gluten allergy). In the end, we both had the salad with chicken. I've had grilled caesars before, but the one at Wildfire was the best. And the chicken was very tender. We will def be back.
Definitely one of Oshawa’s best breakfast joints! Large selection, generous portions, fresh food, and great service.
They also have a solid vegetarian selection, and are consistently awesome when catering to my mom’s gluten free and dairy free dietary needs.
Erik was an awesome server everything was efficient always came around at the right time made sure my pop was full also made sure my girlfriend was treating with gluten free items
Party of 6 for dinner. We all had various types of curry including the fried basa, Goan shrimp, Shrimp tika masala, Lamb, Onion bhujjia (onion rings), pulao rice and naan. Food was delicious. Love that you can set the spiciness of most food. All the curries were gluten free as well. Good sized portions. Masala chai had a nice bite. Mango lassi was very thick! The service was quick and couteous. Will definitely go back!
My wife and I eat at the Keg quite often as she can eat gluten-free with very little concern. In most cases at the Keg any Keg, the manager will come to let us know that the kitchen is aware and they will take care of her with caution. The server didn't ask if we were celebrating anything. 38th wedding anniversary. This Keg is not up to standards of the Keg. In Durham, Ajax Keg is the spot. Oh, and beets as a vegetable what a joke.
Been coming here for years. A must stop and staple in the city of Oshawa.
Recently discovered their gluten free menu.
The free birthday pie that couldn’t be finished
Dear Pizza Munno, let me count the ways of how much I love you. Today especially! I was so hungry and the angel Michael answered. They delivered the most delicious gluten-free pizza. Did I break the budget on this pizza? Yes I did. Worth every scrumptious bite.
The food came out exactly as I wanted, and they were very good respecting the fact I have celiac disease. Crystal also gave amazing service and was so kind!
100% gluten free! Thank you to the kind people who invested in this! For those of us who are Celiac, I thank you! I have never had churros before - delicious! And great guacamole! I will definitely return and try the tacos. 💖
We were a group of 10 from out of town - service was outstanding, food was delicious and huge portions - Definitely recommend! Price was great especially with portion size 😊 Don’t hesitate to book - go and enjoy from a huge menu selection. with gluten free selections.
My review is a few months late, but I really can't say enough good things about the ladies in the front. Came with a friend who wanted Mr Burger when I just had new autoimmune issues that popped up... I thought I would be better not eating, but they told me they would make me something that would sit right with me. They offered me gluten free bun, chicken burger instead of beef, even offered to clean the grill for me before cooking the chicken & took the time to tell me what was in the sauce they put over the chicken to make sure it was safe for me. I really didnt want to be a bother but they assured me it was not a problem & they were so kind about it. That burger was freakin' delicious!
My team scheduled lunch here because their site and menu suggested that they could accommodate for dietary restrictions. I let the server know I had celiac disease and couldn’t have wheat and ordered the only non-salad gluten-free entree they had, a rice pasta alfredo. My entree came with wheat bread on it. When I brought it to the server’s attention, she said she’d replace it… but brought the same dish with the bread removed. Eventually, it was properly replaced - I think! - but this resulted in eating ~20 minutes after my colleagues who all said they thought the meal should be comp’ed. It wasn’t; in fact, I was charged extra! The standard fettuccine dish is 17.49, same as the rice pasta one, and added chicken makes it 23.99. I was charged a full $7 for added chicken. My bill also denoted a standard fettuccine meal rather than a gluten-free one, which is now having me concerned that my inattentive server may have triggered my celiac symptoms (time will tell!). The food was only okay; the first plate of pasta had Parmesan while the second didn’t, and I was offered zero drink refills.
Wonderful restaurant! Amazing service, our server Chelsea took great care of us. The food is wonderful , they now have gluten free options on their menu.
I highly recommend East sides, it is our go to restaurant and we have never left disappointed
By far my favourite shawarma restaurant in Durham region; I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great tasting meal with good sized portions at a reasonable price. I used to work on the Danforth for years and it is better than any shawarma place that I remember from down there. Friendly staff and many gluten and other allergy-friendly options; I am in there about three or four times a week lately. 100% recommend.
I've been a few times now. Our normal dinner for 2 is to split the Pizza and add a meat stick for each of us. This is delicious dinner for 2 under $20 and rolling out the door full. I've also been for take-out and chose this location because meat sticks plus fantastic salads make a great choice for my low carb friend. And recently I planned a family birthday dinner here, including a baby and a gluten free diner. Everything was delicious, allergies were accommodated and a high chair was available. The only thing we could have improved was speed of service, but the birthday boy believes that having to wait is a good sign of fresh food and a full lobby means it's worth the wait. I can agree with both those statements. Well done.
The food was delicious!! Plus they can accommodate those that are gluten free!! Only issue for us was it was way too cold, the manager was very good to turn it up for us.
My children and I came to this location for dinner. We were recommended to try the Capone pizza. The best part of the Capone pizza would the grilled chicken that was hand sliced to perfection. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend this pizzeria, they have so many options for both vegan/gluten free, vegetarian and halal. Restaurant is very well kept and cozy.
What a fun restaurant. Our server Abby was delightful. Great suggestions and very attentive. The gluten free menu is extensive and we found exactly what we wanted. Pad Thai. Super portions.
Been here a couple times as they're right around the corner from my house.
The OMG / gardilly sauce is amazing and I can never have enough. I always get a little extra on the side.
Today I tried the Feast Poutine which is basically Thanksgiving as a poutine. It was definitely flavorful; my only complaint was I could have had more curds.
The gravy is vegan and the fries are gluten free for anyone wanting to try them.
This is a CASH only establishment, for anyone who hasn't been here previously.
Celiac friendly
