Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots Across British Columbia

Wow and yum and 🤤🤤🤤 Best part of our trip to Vancouver!! And the staff are so delightful🥰

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

This the best, and only, place to get gluten free Chinese take-out. I've been ordering here for years, and never had an issue as a celiac. If it ever closes I will be DEVASTATED, so please stay open forever!!!!

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.

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

Ada S.

We came from Barcelona for a bite to eat. The food and service were excellent, attentive to everything and welcoming. A very good option for celiacs and highly recommended in general!

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!

Ruby Wineck

Stumbled upon this gem while on my way to the ferry… 100% gluten free menu and the most delicious fish and chips ever! I loved the house salad as well. We sat outside and the vibes were casual and very relaxing. Service was also very quick. Highly recommend!

Regular crust pizza is okay but not remarkable. Gluten-friendly crust pizza leaves to be desired. Home artisan potatoes are soft and don’t taste freshly made at all. Customer service is great; very thorough with modifications. We enjoyed their home made lemonade.

Cheri Miles

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

Paul Cooper

Super coffee and gluten free cake options

Becca

Amazing food!!! As someone with celiac, I haven't had Chinese food in since I was diagnosed, and it was absolutely delicious. Even my non gluten free family loved the dishes we got to share. Will definitely be a new go to when I'm in Vic🙌👌

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.

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!

Jamie Renney

Amazing food and service! I hadn't been here in a while and it's so much better. I can't believe the wing sauces are made in-house and celiac friendly. So much better than the generic flavours.

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

Sean K

Food was… overall very salty. Not sure if this is how it is suppose to be but from antipasti to pastas, they were all honestly quite salty. Ingredients may be fresh which we would like to appreciate but they are just too salty to be enjoyed. On the other hand, the service was great with solid gluten free options.

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.

Peter Longhurst

We've eaten here and had a great experience. Most recently I just dropped by to pick up some take out. Awesome for celiacs :)

Ace Hot-Links

Love, love, love this place. Arguably the best selection of dairy-free ice cream in town, and every flavour I’ve tried has been amazing. My favourite so far is Roseberry Ave (done as an ice cream sandwich). I shop here regularly to satisfy my sweet-tooth, and I don’t think I’ve yet to walk out the door without a double scoop of nice-cream in a gluten-friendly cone and a freezer bag full of pints and sandwiches.

Lambda Faun

This is a completely unprecedented gluten-free haven. The last time I had a gluten free pizza, it was getting close to 40$ for one small one. Here, I paid 20$ and could hardly finish it I was so full (and I'm 150 KG). Loaded with flavour and protein, and as a bonus it was keto. I had a gluten-free keto tiramisu, and it was everything you could possibly ask for from a tiramisu. Perfect. This place is a must-see for anyone following a gluten free, keto, or really any alternative diet. As a celiac of 16 years, this place has my blessing.

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!!🤤

Joel Tanner

Saw them on *you gotta eat here* and the meatloaf was truly out of this world. Gluten free waffles were great too ... and holy smokes the endless coffee

Lily Clerf

Best gluten and dairy free treats I have ever tasted. The peanut butter brownie is to die for! Amazing selection and such a cute cafe. Recommend to anyone with Celiac Disease and looking for a sweet treat!!!

Trace Anderson

Yum yum yum. All the staff, especially Fuyla and Justine were very knowledgeable. Will definitely be returning 😍😍😍

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.

Monika Gerow

Staff at Cook st. Village location are just so kind and truly make the visit! Gluten free burgers serve. So good. Love this little spot!

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.

Stephanie Seebaran

The pizzas and options for them are really great! I'm allergic to wheat and their gluten-free crust was the best I've ever had!
