Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots Across Beltline, Calgary

Greg Widmeyer

Best gluten free pizza I've ever had!

Chloë Chapdelaine

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…).

As someone with Celiac disease and a severe peanut allergy, I’m always cautious when dining out, especially at Vietnamese restaurants. This spot stood out because they operate as a 100% dedicated gluten-free facility, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Their website outlines their allergy protocols clearly, and I appreciated being able to add notes about additional allergies through the delivery app (UberEats), a feature many restaurants disable. It was a rare opportunity to enjoy dishes like a vermicelli bowl and spring rolls without concern. I shared the below dishes with my gluten-eating spouse and he enjoyed it as well: B34. House Special XL Bowl (Meat Lovers) A14. Popcorn Chicken P42. Beef & Brisket Noodle Soup The portions were generous, and typical sides like bean sprouts, lime, and basil were included at no extra cost. I’d order from here again next time I’m in Calgary.

A staple every time I go to Calgary. As a celiac I feel so safe here, staff always take time to make sure I understand what I can/cannot eat. I would say about 80 percent of the menu can be made gluten free including the fried chicken. It’s great to be able to share with friends and not sacrifice taste. Could not recommend more.

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

Went to this place for brunch for the first time and had 3 amazing things to note. 1) the coconut chai was to die for and I would return just for that drink alone. 2) the vegan eggs Benedict on falafel was so perfectly savoury and delicious, as someone eating vegan and gluten free, I haven’t had something that covers my dietary restrictions taste so good in a long time. 3) the portion sizes!!! The quesadilla my family had was enormous, the side salads were huge! Amazing to have leftovers for later and even though we ate a lot, we didn’t feel gross after (which we often do with other places) because the ingredients were so clean. The staff were so kind and the restaurant gives cute earthy vibes. Hands down will be going back! (Wish we got photos to share!)

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!!!!

Chris Kennedy

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!

Shayd Cooper

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.

Kara

Tamarind makes delicious vegan Vietnamese dishes like pho and vermicelli. They make their tofu in house daily and their food is delicious! I highly recommend their pad Thai. Today, they were giving out free lunch boxes that consisted of papaya salad, fried rice, salt and pepper tofu, bean curd and eggplant, along with a pumpkin tofu soup. Everything was delicious and I would highly recommend! They also can accomodate gluten free options as well 🙂.

Ashley A

The gluten free pizza crust is some of the best we have had! Also for someone with a dairy intolerance, they had great options as well!

Sarah R

Delicious food, and excellent for celiacs / gluten free.

Caylin

I’ve been coming to YYC Pasta Bar since it first opened, & it remains one of my go to spots! I visit at least once a month & it never disappoints. Whether dining in or getting takeout, the portions are generous, the meals & appetizers are always fresh & full of flavor, and the service is consistently friendly & welcoming. They also have great gluten-free and vegetarian options, which makes it easy for everyone to find something they love. Whether you’re craving a classic pasta dish or something new, they always deliver delicious, high-quality food. This is a must visit spot for pasta lovers in YYC! 🥰🍝🇮🇹

Alexis Cruz

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.

Alex Morrill

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.

Andrea Cormie

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.

Cecilia

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.

pageot florence

Superbe restaurant ! La nourriture est incroyable ! Repas sans gluten exceptionnelle. Le carotte cake est le meilleur que j'ai jamais mangé ! Allez y!

Kaylyn Lockhart

My partner and I went here for our anniversary dinner and we were VERY happy with the experience! The vibe is very relaxing, the staff are friendly, the food is amazing in both taste and quality, & they are incredibly attentive to allergies. We ate strictly off of their gluten-free menu (my partner has celiac disease) and we were guided well and thoughtfully through our options and what modifications were made for us to eat safely. We would love to go back and try it all over again!

Mandy Dupont

This place is so cute, and pretty large. Service was great, we went there for a bachelorette dinner. Make a reservation though if it’s a weekend or stampede season! Bathrooms are in the basement so not sure how accessible they are. Food was great, slightly pricey but there’s a good reason. Our bride to be received a free glass of champagne. Our server was lovely, not pushy or rushing us. It was really loud in there, mainly due to stampede and weekend, but it was also very busy. Patio is open in the summer. Allergy friendly to celiacs and peanut/tree nuts!

Lync

Great food, quality is perfect. Easy to order and food is quick, some bowls have less flavor some have more, vegatarian and gluten free options

Paul Brinton

The food is delicious, and the staff is friendly and helpful. They have a great variety of gluten-friendly options.

Ilya Makarov

Great place to go for brunch. Great selection of food and great service. Staff is very knowledgeable about allergy and dietary restrictions thus makes it very reassuring to eat for anyone who has celiac, etc. Highly recommend souffléd pancakes for anyone who is gf to try, AMAZING.

Jennifer Walton

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and fabulous service. We had a pre-set menu with a large group, which was perfect. Unbelievable turkey, brisket, and our gluten-free diners have never had better gravy (they lucked their plates!)We can’t wait to come back again with our team next month!

D Bell

Good tasting food, gluten free options available, gluten free burger buns are quite good, nice traditional Irish Pub.

Maryam Hatam

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!

Barry

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!

Julia Holden

Lots of gluten free options and the service was great! Our server Ana was amazing!! We will definitely be back again! 😊💕

Ali Noorani

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..

Coco C

Great meals and gluten free options!

Daneen Asim

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.

randy serak

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!

S C (Shell_gwn)

Went for the weekend brunch several times. Smaller selection but higher quality and more innovative. You can also order customized bennies for vegetarian or gluten free needs. Recommended. Downgraded from 5 star to 4 star - food no longer as good and price is high.

Mike D

This location is arguably the best of the "Blocks". Excellent barbecue as always, huge whiskey selection, great cocktails. What's not to love? Many gluten free options too! All the BBQ meats are GF and many of the sides are as well. The menu isn't marked, but the servers are informed or will check with the kitchen.

Astha Chawla

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

Ali Rae

KAMA has to be one of the best restaurant's in Calgary. Javen and Noah do such a great job, they deliver amazing vibes and hospitality. The food is another level of freshness and quality, and the menu is actually mostly Gluten Free, with a dedicated Gluten Free fryer and no seed oils being used as well. I don't believe they advertise this much, but this restaurant would be a GF persons dream. I have never been disappointed with visit at KAMA. :)

Wing Chen

Amazing amazing. Saw a Guy Fieri YouTube video about this place and yea, it lives up to his high praises. Had the sate pho and the pork belly saseme donut. The broth was so aromatic and they do not cheap out on ingredients. Yes it is priced higher than other places but IMO it's worth it with the quality of food. You can tell the amount of effort they put into it. Service is great, wife is celiac and they were knowledgeable about it and able to accommodate. It's inside a modern food hall and has a great buzz to it. Looking forward to try the other vendors but that could be hard because I would definitely revisit Pure street food again. Highly highly recommend!

Aly

Super clean and great customer service/staff the Thai teas are the best! The food is always got and delicious. Gluten free ans vegan options. I wish they came in a larger size!! *hint hint* love that the food comes in a paper lotus box. Parking on the street

Review Bust

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.

Nick Ford

Love the gluten free options. They're always friendly.

Jaimie Swain

I came here for a party of 4 birthday dinner and I found it pleasant despite my complete lack of Thai food experience. I’m celiac so that always narrows my choices at any restaurant but I found the server to be knowledgeable. She also confirmed each dish ordered and brought to the table to be GF or not for me, as our table did a bit of sharing. I believe I had the Salmon Paang dish and some steamed rice. The rice with any of the dishes seemed to be a necessary addition, otherwise the dish was more plain (just the sauce and whatever meat or veg combo) and too small of a portion, at least for me. Sharing worked out well portion wise for our table, we were too full to try dessert. The food was really tasteful with good textures and flavours and it’s a smaller restaurant with a nice interior so it wasn’t overly loud at all either. Overall good experience, I’d come back on my own dime probably for a special occasion

Violet Rose

Gluten free is not stated on the menu, but they had quite a few options.

Twyla Misurko

Amazing sandwich! Gluten free option was great.

Terry Hughes

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.

Sab Bory

I got The Quickie with a gluten free bun + add tomato. Was around 13$. This sandwich was HUGE.. the eggs were cooked well and fluffy could have used a little salt and maybe some pepper, the bun needed to be toasted more, but was delicious. The sauce was good and the cheese was perfectly melty. Would try some others in the future! Also came with a free chocolate chip cookie (not GF, but I gave it to my coworker)

Tosha Bow

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 : )
