This is one of the first places I’ve had gluten-free Chinese food, and it reminds me of my childhood when my parents would treat me to (regular) Chinese food before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. Both my mom and I have celiac disease and have eaten here with confidence, as they have separate fryers to keep you safe. The ginger beef, sesame chicken, sweet and sour pork, and dumplings are my favourites (I couldn’t pick just one 🙊), and I’ve come here time and time again. AND- If you’re in for a crazy time, I recommend dining in after a late night out on the town (I won’t spoil the surprise but let me tell you, it’s unlike any dining experience I’ve ever had before and was unforgettable…).
My son took me for late Mother's Day dinner. Amazing vibe and so flavorful food. Service is top-notch. Being a celiac, I would highly recommend this restaurant.
At first glance this place wasn't what I was expecting. The cook was super friendly and welcoming. The gluten free chicken was SO GOOD!! I'd definitely have it again. The dynamite roll was ok, the gf breaded shrimps were the star of that dish and the rest were just supporting actors.. thanks
Magnificent,
The experience is incredibly simple, with a massive ordering board, as it should be at a burger shop. Bravo!
I ordered a gluten free double with cheese, lettuce tomato onion and their Clive sauce. The burgers were made to be juicy yet crispy on the edges, just how I like it. They did right by the CARE gluten free bun, as it should be the only valid option in Alberta for buns as they don't crumble and are nice and supple.
The fries are from a dedicated gluten free fryer and are CRISPY. I decided to review them based on the fact that they took care of my dietary needs perfectly, and their hours run late, Wich to catch a gluten free bite after 9 on 17th Ave is seemingly impossible, this place hit the spot. The staff were friendly and took care to both ask me if gluten free is a preference or health need.
Wonderful staff. Nice atmosphere. Im a celiac and have other allergies. Our waitress was very knowledgeable on the menu and that most items are Gluten Free. This was our first time visiting and we will definitely be the food. The guacamole is amazing!!!!
Amazing poutine! Attended with a friend from Australia and we were both blown away. We had the Notorious PIG and the Cluster Buck. Wife had a Cluster Buck with vegan cheese and gluten free gravy. Staff was very accommodating to her allergies without issue! Would highly recommend!
Emily was incredibly kind and attentive! She made sure my food was completely safe for my celiac disease and double-checked everything with care. I really appreciated her support and attention to detail.
I highly recommend this succulent little brunch spot! Lena, our server was a doll! And looked after us superbly!. I am celiac myself, it’s always nice to find a spot that can cater to someone with severe allergies/sensitivities to food.
Had the gluten free waffle and bacon and both were great. The waffle was an especially nice treat and was crunchy and soft and flavourful. I forgot to ask if the buckwheat pancakes were gluten-free but they looked good, maybe I'll try them next time.
Love coming here for brunch. Super decadent and always great service. Also my gluten sensitive mom loves the gluten free bread option and also we appreciate the alberta farm fresh eggs.
We had a great time, the rainbow trout was the table favourite! Every server was very cautious and informative about one of our group members being celiac so it made it an extremely enjoyable experience for us.
The place to go for tacos! Food, service & atmosphere were great! They give you a free house shot on your birthday and it's delicious! If you're celiac, very knowledgeable staff and lots of great options that are gluten free!
Excellent! Food service and atmosphere are all 10/10!
We came during happy hour and loved the offer of oysters and drink for a set price.
There are gluten-free options on the menu but I just had the oysters and mussels (I shared my fries) but they are able to swap out fries for other items. Just check with the server!
Excellent service, I had the gluten free waffles and fried chicken.. they were fantastic.. portions are decent sized and made me full.. definitely recommend this spot..
The best service in downtown Calgary by far, our server Mariem (Mariam?) was super helpful and super kind. She accommodated all our requests as my fiancé can only eat gluten free and his sister is vegetarian. She provided us with all the appropriate menu options and made sure that there was no cross contamination with the meals. She really exceeded our expectations and I've never met a server so accommodating to all our dietary restrictions.
What a great place to stop and have a meal.
They have a very nice patio that's heated.
We had the cheese fondue with sirloin steak for protein. The fondue came with a basket of bread and a plate of veggies. They also gave us potato chips as one we needed a gluten-free option instead of bread.
They are pooch friendly!
My favooooouriteeeeee coffee shop in all of Calgary. Coziest place and best for working. It’s like my hidden gem 🥹✨ love their gluten free granola bars so much!!! I get one each week
Not safe for anyone with allergies, especially celiac where all grains can cause an immune response in advanced cases.
I asked the guy working there if the GF bun had rice in it and he was fully confident it didn’t. I shouldn’t have trusted him.
We will never be going back here. Horrible business. Why not just be honest? I would have happily had the lettuce wrap to save myself all of the pain and internal break down of my system.
OMG! So good. I have walked past this place hundreds of times and finally had breakfast there on Easter Sunday. Everything was fantastic: the server brought us coffee outside while we waited, wow. Inside it's such an authentic old diner with seating at the bar and a few booths. So cool. The chefs cook the food right in front of your eyes, it was fascinating to watch them work so hard. And the food itself is sublime! What an experience. One thing to note: due to them having 1 smallish grill I can't imagine they can cater to vegans or gluten intolerant people.
I tried ordering a week ago and had difficulty with one of the staff, she told me nothing was gluten free however it is clearly advertised that they have many gluten free options. . I am a celiac so definitely needed to confirm what I was ordering was Gluten Free and would be prepared safely. I reached out on Facebook and got a proper response. Tonight I was able to order through Uber the food was flavourful and we have leftovers. Excellent portions, delicious flavours. Fantastic customer service from the Owner. You must try the oxtail. The curry chicken is also enjoyable along with the jerk chicken. Yes, all gluten free along with the rice and beans and Coleslaw. Thank you : )

Went to this place with a friend specifically for gluten free drinks and food they advertised. After pointing to every gf tagged item on the menu and told "no sorry that can't be made gluten free" we paid our bill and left.
Food was very good but the service was horrible. Did not even come close to warranting the automatic 20% tip that was added to our bill. We felt completely ignored by our waiter… it was also frustrating because when I went inside to use the washroom and there was not as a single person dining inside- I’m not sure why the service was so terrible to be honest. Also extremely disappointed by the drinks- they were sooo watered down. Even though they were discounted they literally were just juice in a cup entirely filled with ice. Not one person in our group was even a tiny bit tipsy after like 4 or 5 drinks each. Also our friend specifically requested gluten free buns but was brought regular buns and told that he could take the burgers apart if he wanted to… and then was still charged for the burgers they got wrong. For a real allergy this is something they should take extremely seriously and it’s crazy to me that they didn’t. Would not recommend!!!!!!!!! There are restaurants to either side that are way better.
Great little breakfast spot In a diner/ collective market. Very cute and perfect for dairy and gluten free ppl like myself. The name brought me in. I love a good pun
Wonderful food and service. Salvo served us and we were happy to hear he was from Italy as well. We were celebrating a birthday for a celiac and they had a signed card at the table. Also provided a gluten free dessert. Highly recommended for celiacs and meat lovers. The lamb and pineapple was the best!
