Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Guelph

Erika Geremia

Cool spot for dinner. Nice patio. Helpful waitstaff with LOTS of options for celiac and vegetarian

Zac Reed

Oh my goodness you guys! Everything on the Gluten free menu was delicious! The breaded shrimp was out of this world, along with the Cajun shrimp and English style Halibut with amazing thick fries that tasted 100% home made and fresh. It was cozy and quiet but the service was so fast and friendly, and the food was without fault. Highly recommend.

Jessica Dorado

Fantastic spot for dinner. Highly recommend the trout dish! Their staff are also always so attentive to my gluten free restrictions, making for an amazing dining experience!

Ben Kidd

Sincerely the best gluten-free pizza I have ever had.

Bill Wong

Sofia was amazing at serving us today. Was well informed about gluten free procedures

Caitlyn Medland

Alexa was great, super aware of gluten allergies and knowledgeable.

Phoebe Hu

Almost everything has clear gluten-free option and everything we had were delicious. Highly recommended especially for dining with friend who has serious dietary restrictions! One of the best Thai restaurants we've had in Canada! (Also our green curry came with rice without having to buy it separately like most other places nowadays - this was a super plus for us👌) And the owner lady was so sweet! Definitely a lovely local small business worth supporting! P.s. It looks like take-out only place from outside but there are actually 2-3 tables inside :) Not a fancy place but still clean and cute - it's very obvious food is the priority to her and we appreciate that!

Katy Phillips

Delicious meal! Friendly and helpful staff. Menu was clearly marked on options that are gluten free.

Tova Davidson

Had a lovely vegan and gluten free dinner with friends. Love the new dining room on Edinburgh road. They were even able to make the paneer dishes with tofu to make everything vegan!!! Highly recommend.

Katy Phillips

Waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten free options and friendly! Portions were HUGE and it was delicious.

James Hill Crowther

Debora Moes

We showed up 45 mins before closing. This restaurant was clean. The staff were very polite, friendly and professional. There were many choices of food. Well knowledgeable in gluten free and vegan. I was impressed!

We like this place because it has a ton of options, and gluten free buns... but take out is strange because they don't entirely dress your burger..they give you a bag with condiment packets. Awkward if you're trying to eat on the go. Also: landfill.The other thing is, the fries and burgers are packed up in the container together, making the fries always soggy if you're not eating them right away. Our kids were crashing when we arrived for our take out order, and when I asked to have the fries first while we were waiting for the burgers, I was told they didn't do that. Interesting space and options...some things need some work on the service side.

Katy Phillips

Such good food!! Waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about gluten free items on the menu. Highly recommend!

Jessica Olmstead

Great gluten free options & love their hot drinks menu. The cafe itself is warm and inviting with an artsy vibe and great for cocktails & conversation. The cheesecake is a favourite.

Elle Falling

Atmosphere is great, and the food you get is delicious. Communication between kitchen and waitstaff is a mess. My ordered drink didn’t get into the system. An item labelled gf the waitress said had gluten, then gf, once I’d decided what else to try. So I ordered the first item and it came on a regular bun and they were out of gf buns. Kids meals are advertised to come with dessert which wasn’t offered or delivered. My partner and kids’ food was really nice, server was friendly and I enjoyed my salad.

Geraldine Thevenau

We enjoyed the food, the fact that we the seating is spacious and comfortable. MJ was a great server; offered options, gave advice, helped us choose our choices. I am celiac and the chef at this location has always gone above and beyond for my dietary needs requirements. A five star experience 9/10.

Stacey B

This place is a whole vibe! Love the array of options - vegetarian, vegan, gluten free! They've got it all!!! The curried potatoes are a nice twist. And the cookies are as big as your hand! Also, the service is top notch - very attentive!

Paula Capa

Overall a good experience! Maybe put more pasta in the Gluten free portion! Service was great! Highly recommend!

Natasha Wettlaufer

Love this place! Great for gluten free options and delicious food!

Really disappointed in the phone call I had with someone today. I get that a lot of places are not accommodating for celiac disease, but every taco place I have been to, caters to this allergy (understandable that there will always be SOME risk). So already, really disappointed to see so many gluten free options but not celiac friendly. Regardless, the girl on the phone seemed very unsure if there were process' in place for a person with celiac disease to ensure no cross contamination. I asked her to check with the chef, and I was on hold for an entirety of maybe 30 seconds - which is not enough time to go find them, ask a question get an answer and pick up the phone, etc. So I am certain that she did not ask, as her answer when she came back was the exact same. Really disappointed in this encounter.

We had our wedding dinner at the Aberfoyle Mill this October. Absolutely loved the rustic vibe and cozy private space to host our guests for dinner. John was fantastic to deal with. Excellent communication and very accommodating, he made it so easy to book everything from our menu choices and cocktail hour options. The food was so delicious and lots of variety for our guests including gluten free options. The atmosphere was beyond perfect for a cozy dinner party for 25 people. Service was impeccable, I was beyond impressed with how excellent our service was!! Thank you Aberfoyle Mill for making our wedding dinner so cozy and memorable! It was exactly what we wanted and you guys went above and beyond to create the perfect evening for us. I would highly recommend for any event, we couldn’t have asked for a more cozy, elegant evening at the Mill! Thank you John and staff for such a lovely night that we will never forget! ❤️🥰

Sonja Winkelmann

The high tea is absolutely lovely!!! An amazing selection of teas along with delicious finger sandwiches, scones, and assorted pastries, with some fruit. It's more than enough for one person (I'm always stuffed!), and the gluten-free option is crazy tasty! Fabulous service as well. I highly recommend it for an enjoyable afternoon.

T1FIEND

Overall a solid breakfast choice. Lots of selection, vegan & gluten free options. The place is busy so service is a little slow. The staff is friendly. The robo-waiter plays Happy Birthdy the whole time. Decent food choices, a bit pricey but it hits the breakfast spot for sure!

Sheetal Thomas

The food is comforting and delicious. Flavors are well balanced and the service is very personal. It is hard to find gluten free and dairy free desserts, Andy's Squash custard is a slice of tropical heaven. My friend had the tiramisu, soft, fluffy and melts in your mouth. Must try and will be back.

Nick M-Bro

Montana is my favorite restaurant! This location is fantastic, never disappointed! Great gluten free options

Steve Radewych

Great gluten free options

Satellite Falling

We were visiting Guelph and happened upon this restaurant--It is hard to find Keto and Gluten Free food sometimes. We loved this place so much we ate there both nights of our stay! Incredible and tempting selections--I am hungry just thinking about it! They happily accommodated our order to make it keto. Amazing taste combinations. I wish there was one in Peterborough. Go--run don't walk!

Andrea Kavanagh

Really good pizza, chewy perfect crust, lots of toppings & cheese, wonderful gluten free crust, awesome daily deals (like really really good!) Mondays & Wednesdays particularly. Relaxed atmosphere, nice little pizza night out with my little family. Will be back for sure!

Celia Payne

Eggcetra Guelph is a popular place. We visited on a weekday morning just before 9am and had to wait a few minutes for a table. The friend that I dined with frequents this establishment and easily helped me source items that were suitable for me as a gluten free vegan. He chose The Classic, and I assembled a meal by combining sides. Both plates arrived quickly, the food was hot and service was efficient. The Guelph location is cosy and though there is room for the servers to move between tables, it would be quite challenging to bring in a stroller or mobility aide. The location is on a strip that is serviced by public transit and which offers parking. About this place, my friend joked (but wasn't really joking): it's a popular spot ...expect to wait, and when you are done move on - someone's likely to be waiting for your spot. The baked beans were ok, the homefries were great!

Anique Taylor

Aysia was our waitress, wonderful service very good with my gluten allergy.

Dr. Tanya Dahms

This is truly excellent Japanese restaurant in Guelph, Ontario that I highly recommend! When they saw my comments about gluten sensitivity in my online order, they called me right away to inform me of exactly what was in each dish I had ordered. The staff was courteous, friendly and very efficient. The food is top notch!!!

Samantha Molinaro

Nice atmosphere and great gluten free options

Ababa Bebebe

Return customer here. We ordered Butter chicken, so it was easy to make us happy. Yes, they have many gluten free items which is perfect for celiacs. Staff is nice and friendly. We ate in restaurant, and the wait for food was not too long. Maybe there was just less Uber eats orders, at Friday 8pm ish. Will come back !

Liz Lewis

Stopped in for lunch and we were not disappointed. Dishes were perfectly spiced, fresh, and well made. Many vegetarian and gluten free options to choose from. Service was amazing, and we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere.

Sharon Stroeder

If you love fresh fruit and veggies with your breakfast this is the place to go, their gluten free bread is the best I have ever had!

EIJP

Yummy gluten free pizza :)

Jovet De La Torre

Shine Family Restaurant is a hidden gem! Their breakfast and lunch menu offers something for everyone, including delicious vegan and gluten-free options. The food and coffee are great, and portions are generous. We had the Lumberjack and the traditional breakfast. But what really stands out is the exceptional service - friendly, fast, and attentive. Special shoutout to our server Heidi, who went above and beyond with her recommendations.

Dominique Attrell

The neighbourhood would be worse off without this great-in-a-pinch dinner option. It’s not a fancy place, but the pizza is hot, fresh, tasty, and the gluten free option is among the best I’ve had from a takeout place. Quick chana and samosas are also great for cheap lunch.

Brittney “B” H.

The woman who served me I assume she’s the manager or owner. She’s always very attentive and represent great customer service. I have celiac disease and I always find it challenging to eat out somewhere safe. She always takes care and time to serve me when I express my dietary restrictions. She’s educated on it enough to know serious effects of cross contamination. And I’ve overheard her training and educating her stuff on it as well. I live very close and I have gotten food from here often. Love this place plus they play good music too 😊

Gluten free option

Bailey Ly

We love this place. It’s almost always my go-to when visiting Guelph. They change up their tapas, which is nice. The gluten free pizza is the best I’ve ever had. The ingredients are fresh and full. The restaurant itself is beautiful as well. The service can be a little slow, but always friendly.

Zankhana Bavishi

Great service and food. Very accessible for vegans, vegetarians, gluten free needs. Love the food

Chris Halabecki

First time dining at The Wooly, and will also be the last. Made reservations and got a nice table for four people in a cozy room next to a portable fireplace. When the lights went dim, service staff offered a magnifier with light for my mother which was a nice touch and appreciated. Environment was welcoming and friendly. Staff appeared to be aware of the patrons and safety-conscious, which is why the experience was ultimately so upsetting. I ordered the Smokey BBQ Burger on a Gluten Free bun, with a side of fries. The server took the time to point out that the fries were not cooked in a separate fryer from other gluten-containing items, which was a green flag that he understood why I was asking for the special bun, and that he took the request seriously. When the food arrived, the Burger looked fantastic. It looked and felt like a real "normal" bun, which is exceedingly rare for a Gluten Free bun. This should have been my first clue. The taste should have been my second. It tasted fantastic, just like real bread. I should have stopped right there. It may have been too late, but I should have notified the server that this was almost certainly real bread. It was way too good to be true. Instead, my hunger, instincts, maybe my trust, or perhaps just desire to eat some real carbs again took over and the burger was devoured before I knew it. As I settled and noticed my stomach starting to.. misbehave, I glanced around at some of my fellow diners. Some of them had burgers or chicken burgers. The buns looked exactly like mine. A sense of dread crept up on me. I held out hope that this still wasn't the case, that perhaps the Wooly had created the greatest, most authentic Gluten Free hamburger bun the world has seen. As we left the Pub the feeling in my stomach got worse. And when we arrived at our evening event at the Sleeman Centre (Wooly is within close proximity and about a 7 minute walk), my experience was soon interrupted by some particularly unpleasant time alone in the facilities that confirmed what had indeed happened. While I hesitate to mention any details, the after-effects carried over well into the next day and the suffering continues. I accept a great deal of responsibility for what happened and what I consumed, but I leave this as a warning to individuals who may have allergy concerns, dietary restrictions, or other needs with their food. I wanted to love the Wooly, and although there were no other concerns with the experience, this mistake is a very, very big one, could potentially be life-threatening to some, and it's a mistake that just can't be made in a modern kitchen.

Came in from out of town craving a hot bowl of soup so we ordered a chicken and a beef pho, and a fresh roll, all three items were delish! Portion sizes for the soup bowls were generous and the service was quick, warm and willing to adjust the sauce for the fresh rolls to make them gluten free!

Justin G.

Excellent Ethiopian food, very flavourful and quick to order. Loved the Veggie platter for two (I ate it all myself but it easily would feed two / three normal meals). My wife is celiac and they mention gluten free injera but you have to call ahead for it so she wasn’t able to eat (hence the veggie platter all to myself). I knocked a few stars off for atmosphere as the bathrooms could use a good clean. Otherwise food and service is excellent and value for money is incredible. Will definitely return

Andrea H

When dining inside, there is plenty of room, you do not feel crammed in, it feels like its just you and your party! They have lots of Gluten free options, and lots of different menu options that you won't find elsewhere! I would highly recommend!

Conmon

Fantastic pizza! They accommodate a wide a variety of flavors as well as dietary restrictions including gluten free and vegan! I used them for a large party and my order which included specialty pizzas all came out perfectly. When ever I’m ordering pizza, pizza la villa is the place I’m ordering from; great pizza, great customer service and fair prices. I highly recommend you give them a try!

Katrina McCutcheon

Very very friendly staff. Best gluten free pizza. Highly recommend!

Good breakfast experience at Sunset Grill in Guelph. Had the avocado toast with egg and fruit salad bowl. Very tasty. Gluten-free bread is not shown on the menu, but was available when I asked (Would be nice if the menu showed it as an option). Server was friendly and coffee and drink refills offered frequently. My companion had the classic burger and said it was delicious.
