gluten free beware! I was waiting to write this review until I tried the pizza for a second time but I feel like I have to say something because the gluten-free crust has made me so sick twice now. There must be a ton of cross-contamination going on. I called the restaurant to confirm that it was gluten-free because it's listed as "gluten friendly" on all of the apps with zero explanation, which is a super weird thing to do to people who have food allergies . I have celiac and I know I'm assuming a risk when I order a pizza from a regular restaurant, but I haven't had a single issue in years. This pizza has made me so ill that I have been throwing up after both times. The only thing I can think of is that the crust isn't actually gluten-free. I'm always OK with restaurants that prepare gluten items, this isn't a problem I ever have at other restaurants and I have never had a reaction from a pizza restaurant , so something is suspicious here. my violent vomiting honestly makes me wonder if they're rolling the crust in a pile of flour. I know that or it's just one employee who doesn't give a shit because I've ordered at the same time on the same day for two weeks .Do not order this if you are gluten sensitive, or you have celiac because you will be paying for it the next day.
I have a gluten allergy and have always loved Burger’s Priest for their gluten free options. Today they told me they couldn’t give me a lettuce wrap, and told me their stern fries weren’t gluten free either. I have had north items at this location before with no problem. Very disappointed today with my plain fries for dinner.
Such tasty foods!! and really good value for money - portions were great for the price which was a nice change for Toronto. Knowing the menu changes regularly I can’t wait to go back.
Gluten free - almost everything was gluten free and if it wasn’t could be made gluten free.
Gluten-Free Options: yes
Cross Contamination: low
Halal/ Kosher Options: No

First Impression: Cute spot for a lunch date.
Favourite: Peanut Satay.
Critiques: I went to Mandy’s in Montreal and was pleasantly surprised to find out there was a location in Toronto when I moved. We I went in I was a little disappointed to see they did not have some of the same menu options and they did not serve their smoothies in winter.
Bonus: Many healthy options that leave you full. In addition, the staff at this location is very very friendly.
Take Away: If I am in the area I may drop by again if I am craving a salad.

Pizza Pizza is a great option for affordable and quick meals. They offer a good variety of toppings and customizable options, including gluten-free and vegan choices. Delivery is usually fast and reliable, though the quality can vary depending on the location.
Decided to walk into this restaurant recently & had a great experience.
The server was very knowledgeable regarding allergies. I mentioned my gluten & dairy one and he didn’t hesitate to go through the whole menu with me to show me which items they could accommodate.
We ordered the potatoes, octopus & Eggplant dip. The dip was sweeter than what I was expecting. The octopus was delicious, I wish the portion was a touch bigger, & the potatoes were very crispy & well seasoned.
Fantastic Italian bakery. Tons of options for lunch, pastries, and bread. Everything is baked fresh in front of you and you can see their large selection. They have a few gluten free biscotti options as well. The interior has a very nice ambience and is great to relax in for a bit but there is no wifi if you are looking to work there. I got a flat white and it was very nice as well.
I had walked past and noted how great the food smelled at lunch service and decided to bring my mother and aunt (gluten free, dairy free and a vegetarian!) to try their dinner service. When I asked about gluten free/dairy free options the staff were amazing and broke down on the menu what would be safe and what wasn’t able to be changed. The food was delicious, we particularly loved the seasonal hummus (Ontario peach hummus) and the modded broccolini muhammara. We tried 4 different dishes and 2 deserts and were very satisfied with our food. Overall the staff were incredible with thoughtful service and the food was stellar.
This is the kind of place where you know the owner loves making people happy. As soon as we entered this awesome little restaurant we were greeted with genuine hospitality. The brunch menu is small but perfect and really makes the experience unique. Gluten free is a staple and even gluten free vegetarian sausage. We left full, satisfied, and happy.
I like this place. It’s cute and cosy and the service is really nice. They have a lot of gluten-free options as well which works perfect for my diet haha I had a nice time here I got the big breakfast and a cappuccino. 🩷
Cute little restaurant in the heart of Ossington area. The vibe and atmosphere transfers you somewhere in the Mediterranean.
Menu variety is good, with both veg and gluten free options. We got club sandwich and shakshuka for brunch, and the first was a top notch with perfectly crisp fries. As for shakshuka, it was okay. As for me too many tomatoes and too sour and too crisp baguette, in my opinion something more sweet and soft would suit better (pita or chiabatta).
Overall, recommend for a cute lunch or dinner👍🏼
I've only been here for dining in on a slice, but multiple times. They have a wide selection of slices, notably including whole wheat, gluten free, and several vegetarian options all day long. I appreciate the olive oil, parmesan, peppers and seasoning to dress my slice. They don't complain when I bring my bike in and rest it against the wall. Great place for stopping for a cheap - maybe even healthier - slice

This place has a fabulous vibe right from the get go! Decor is rustic & eclectic, & there's much to catch your eye....like trees! The menu has pasta (no gf) & pizza (gf/vegan options), accompanied by lots of drink selections. We ordered 1 gluten free pizza, 1 gluten/dairy free pizza, & one regular pizza. I have a load of allergies & the server - Ceci - was very accommodating & knowledgeable about what the kitchen could do for me. We were super impressed! All the pizzas were amazing (like the best gf pizza in the city imho) & my husband polished off the whole regular pizza himself it was so good! We can't say enough about Ceci (& Mark) as they really took good care of us! We highly recommend Bar Poet, especially for the pizza & beer special!! Can't wait to go again! PS - we were able to get a photo with no one in it bc we came in right at open on a mega snowy Monday!
