Top 50 Gluten-Free Places Across Ottawa for Late-Night Cravings

Always buy the GF pep talk pizza. Safe for celiacs. Never had any issues.

Jessica Harper

It was my first time trying this place, and for being celiac certified, it made me feel so much safer to eat here. I got the Ottawa burger and a poutine. Both were hands down, so freaking good. Our server Dawn was also amazing she made me and my family feel very welcoming. You guys should also start selling you bacon mayo. I would buy that by the truck loads. Lol

We had a Christmas get-together with our bowling group on December 19, 2024. The staff are amazing 👏, they went above and beyond service! The chef expressly made my own plate of gluten-free nachos 😋 THANK YOU! Love Chances R Lynn-Marie Shapcott Kanata

Arne Seidel-Höfer

Extremely helpful staff. They discussed with me what options are really safe and which ones aren’t. I wanted to order something that was only gluten free but made in the same fryer, however, the friendly staff made it possible to do it in a separate fryer

Fiona Clydesdale

Had a really lovely meal here sharing GF pasta and GF pizza. Amazing pizza base! Servers very aware and aware of CC.

Vivian Kissane

Service was phenomenal and so is the food. There were so many amazing gluten free options and the staff was happy to give recommendations… special shoutout to Lienna for the amazing service!

Shawn Henderson

Super fun place, great food, great service. Had a blast. 100% Gluten Free. Huge, varied menu. Great cocktails, lots of flavours of margaritas. All serviced super fast, super friendly. Cannot wait for patio season to enjoy the food and drinks in the sun... but the interior is decorated very festively. I'll be back!

The burgers are super good! They also have gluten free buns for the burger (Celiac friendly indeed).

Had the best gluten-free burger I've had in ages! And it was the High Priest burger, which is a fantastic replication of a Big Mac, except it was the kind of Big Mac you dream of: big, juicy patties, real cheese, and clearly real diced onions in the classic Mac sauce. As someone who has been gluten-free for fifteen years, this "Big Mac" High Priest was a real treat! And to boot, the french fries have a dedicated deep fryer! They were SO tasty... Not McDonald's fries but comparable to the best chip wagon fries I've had in town. Definitely going back. Strongly recommend! 👍👍

Emily Puckett

As someone with celiac disease it’s hard to eat out, but my server Alexis provided me with all the gluten free options they had and took all the extra steps to make sure I felt safe to eat!

j migneault

Wow, very good, excellent, what can I say about the service, our waitress, she served us in French, gluten-free menu, congratulations to all the staff

Melissa-Ann Ledo

Best burgers in town! Amazing with kiddos and gluten free allergy!

Karyn Tindall

Love this place. Gluten free pizza Sofia was outstanding

Anthony Liberatore

My friend and I had such a great time catching up this past Sunday night! We enjoyed two celiac-friendly burgers and our server was so gracious, attentive, professional, and hospitable. She allowed us to sit at a table to see with a clear view of my bike that was chained up outside (I wanted to keep an eye on it!). Overall, a courteous experience that allowed us to make quality memories and the food was great and allergy safe! We will be back!

Talha ASI

Delicious pizzas. Great gluten-free options.

Emily

We had a great experience dining at Joey Rideau! Our food was delicious. Highly recommend the steak frites (this dish is also celiac safe, if you cannot have gluten). Our server Daphne was very kind and made sure that we enjoyed everything! We were celebrating our anniversary and it was lovely.

Paul Marchand

Wonderful dessert place with many dairy free and gluten free options. We tried a great piece of chocolate cake. We also had a brownie and a piece of chocolate truffle cake. Yummy!

Carly Brender

Nearly the entire menu is gluten free. Very knowledgeable about cross contamination. Food is delicious and the staff are fantastic. Always a safe and delicious spot to visit. Our go to special occasion resto for years.

Christine Skelly

Great burger and wings. Gluten free bun. Very flavourful! Good atmosphere A little slow but no complaints with golf on the screen and good company Will be back for fish and trips

Angie Pasquini

Went out for a birthday dinner. Took a good 30 min to get our food. One burger was way overcooked and the gluten free bun was so dry and crumbly, we had to take it off to eat it. The two other burgers with the cheese stuff patty was almost raw. gave the food a 2 star because the onion rings were good and so were bacon wrapped cheese balls.

Natalia Kim

The food was okay, but our experience was disappointing. It was a very busy evening at the restaurant, making it difficult to have a conversation due to the noise level. We had to speak very loudly just to hear each other. For dessert, we ordered five gluten-free cheesecakes (four for takeout and one to try at the restaurant) and one cinnamon bun with ice cream. After tasting the cheesecake and the cinnamon bun, we decided we didn’t like the cheesecake’s flavor and asked to change our takeout order of four gluten-free cheesecakes to four cinnamon buns with ice cream instead. We informed the waiter that we had tried one cheesecake and didn’t enjoy the taste, so we no longer wanted the four cheesecakes for takeout. However, the waiter insisted that we still had to pay for the cheesecakes because they had already been boxed. While they offered a 10% discount if we wished to purchase the cinnamon buns, we found this resolution unsatisfactory. Overall, we left feeling very disappointed with the experience.

Jenn Z

Easily able to accommodate gluten free and other allergies, very tasty and filling.

Carmen Saumure

Popped in for a quick batch of fries. I am Celiac and Five Guys are the only fries guarantied Gluten Free. I was sitting there eating away facing the staff and just watching them work. Then it hit me how they were all smiling, enjoying their job. They all had clean aprons on. The young man who took my order was so polite. Then I noticed him brooming around the tables, cleaning the fountain area. The whole place is clean!! To top it off, I then used the washroom and it was also spotless in there. I have never seen a fast food restaurant so well kept and so clean. Obviously they train their employees well. I made of point of asking to speak to the Manager (Emily) and told her she has a great team here and it doesn't go unnoticed. Great place, Great atmosphere, Great Food! Highly recommend!

We had a terrible experience at Del Piacete over the italian week weekend. Our waitress was unprofessional, yawning while taking our order and never checking on us. Despite arriving before other customers, we waited 50 minutes for our food while watching others get served first. Both of our pizzas had a couple mussels that smelled and tasted absolutely rotten. Beyond this serious food safety issue, my gluten-free pizza was also completely undercooked. When I complained, the waitress said reheating it might burn it so she gave me the option of either burned or undercooked. The chef explained they use new rice-based GF dough that “doesn’t cook well” - even after returning it to the oven, it remained inedible. To their credit, they removed the undercooked pizza from our bill when I asked not to pay for it. However, the restaurant feels dated with sticky tables, and the high prices don’t match the poor service and atmosphere. This was my second visit and will definitely be my last.

Mariah Russell

Sweet baby Jesus, I’ve been to Italy as my point of reference: this pizza was orgasmic. The truffle honey with the saltiness of the crisp pepperoni with the creamy mozzarella? A trifecta of goodness. The gluten free crust? So good I couldn’t tell it was GF. I’m not from Ottawa and this was a gem to discover. Bravo to the pizza nerds.

Bryan Beecham

Lots of options for Gluten Free diets. Even GF beer available. Scottish standards available.

Huge portions! The food is great. They have a nice all you can eat salsa. Good place for gluten allergies.

Lovell Pinto

I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant. I was in the area for business and stopped here for dinner. I ordered the mahi mahi fish entree and it was arguably one of the best meals of my life. The service is very quick, professional and outstanding. What impressed me the most was the attention and care they take when preparing and serving meals for gluten-free (GF) diners like me. They can prepare must dishes GF upon request. Seldom have I witnessed such attention to detail with precautions taken. The GF cheesecake dessert was something to die for. I want to travel back to Kanata merely to dine at this location. Thank you Moxie's!

Chop, give yourselves a pat on the back. You nailed our dining experience last night. Where do I begin? My partner has celiac disease. She has a severe allergy to gluten and wheat. Consuming even the smallest bit of it can send her to hospital. When we advised our server, Sarah M of this, she assured us that they would take every precaution to ensure my partner's health and safety. We didn't know what we were in store for though. Rewind. We went to Chop during their Happy Hour where they have discounted drinks and food. We were seat ed about 5 minutes before Happy Hour ends. When we told Sarah we wanted some Happy Hour drinks, she offered to load in multiple drink order before the cutoff time and then she would just fill the orders and bring them when we needed our next drink. We ordered 2 glass of wine each. Sarah brought the first round promptly. We also ordered the chili garlic shrimp appetizer from the Happy Hour menu. This dish comes with a piece of bread and we asked to omit the bread to keep the dish gluten-safe. We also put in our entrée orders at that time. Another server, who we later learned was named Hannah (or Hanna) brought our appetizer and was very specific to tell us that it was gluten-free. Much to our surprise, they added a gluten-free bun to the dish to replace the ciabatta bread that the dish usually comes with. Fast forward. Entrées arrive. They were great. Again, Hanna(h) delivered them and noted that the kitchen was very particular about knowing of my partner's gluten allergy. On one of our usual server, Sarah's, returns to our table, we learned that Sarah was not even allowed to bring our food orders to our table because she was handling other people's food. They designated Hanna(h) to deliver our food in order to ensure my partner didn't accidentally come into contact with gluten. WE HAVE NEVER SEEN A RESTAURANT DO THIS! We were very very impressed. So much so, that we felt compelled to chat with a manager after we paid our bill to express how phenomenal of an experience we had. We will return to Chop. Next time, we'll arrive earlier to take more advantage of the Happy Hour discounts. We can only hope that we have Sarah and Hanna(h) serve us again.

Amazing chefs they do gluten-free for celiac disease. Absolutely love this place had a great great brunch. Everything on the menu looks so good. I had the shot shashukah. It was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this place. Ask for Joey great server.

Corrianna

This is our go to restaurant when we want a good meal. The food is always consistently delicious and the staff is incredibly friendly. This time I brought my mom and aunt who were visiting from out of town. They could not stop raving about how delicious the food was and most notably how wonderful and sweet our server, Summer, was. Summer went above and beyond to make sure all of my aunt's food and drinks were safe as my aunt has Celiac disease. We will definitely be back again next time they are in town. Thanks for another great evening ❤️🙂

Scott Mullenix

Good gluten free tacos. Good allergy protocol knowledge. Seemed a little overwhelmed at half capacity.

Gordon Chandler

Just having arrived back home from a long work trip, I took the family to Moxie's for a fun night out. Kids loved the atmosphere and the server and managers made our stay welcoming and warm. Outstanding food also. Had the blackened shrimp tacos and my wife had the crispy chicken sandwich (her fave). Kids are well also and they were able to accommodate my son's gluten intolerance and the manager even came out to ensure we were satisfied with their solutions. Definitely going back for date night!

Always looking for a great place that accommodates for Gluten Free/friendly items and State & Main always hits the spot… Cameryn was a great server , she did a fantastic job

Kiah Robbins

Dedicated gluten free fryer. Well labeled menu. Great service

John O'Brien

Delicious food, great service and especially nice on the patio. Appreciated the gluten free options.

Shawn Henderson

Went for brunch, with a friend. Was awesome. Portions were great, food fresh, service friendly. Good selection of gluten-free options, but that could actually improve. Space is a really fun design too.

Barbara D'Agostini

Celiac friendly! We always enjoyed this restaurant before me being celiac. Now, we loved it even more!! Delicious house made food, friendly staff, and clean!

Nicole C

The best gluten-free bun I've ever had , such a good burger! Price is decent! And very spacious and inviting. Everything so good.

Brett Brooking

Had a wonderful time at The Standard. The Detroit style Stay Gold pizza exceeded expectations. I was expecting the thick crust to be too heavy and "bready" but those crispy edges were very satisfying. There were also numerous gluten-free options which was appreciated by one of our party.

Michelle Bradshaw

Very knowledgeable staff, took care to make sure we were comfortable with the gluten free preparation and food.

Angela Lindberg

This review is for the senior management at BP. I highly recommend promoting Jessica and having her train staff at other locations nationwide. It will undoubtedly boost your sales. As someone with a family affected by celiac disease and allergies, dining out can be overwhelming. However, thanks to Jessica's instruction, we now feel at ease when eating at BP. It has become our preferred family dining option.

MarciasBig75

They were super accommodating with dietary needs, offering delicious gluten-free options without compromising on taste or presentation.

Mikela Vaillancourt

Family-run place. People here are so kind! I was able to eat a gluten free pizza being celiac and they are very careful with cross contamination. Loved our lunchtime here and will definitely come back. Thanks :)

Chelsey’s Place

Gluten free oatmeal Amazing iced lattes Vegan options available

Fanny fana

Awesome pizza for gluten and non gluten people

Tyler Connelly

Service was good food was okay however unfortunately I ordered food on a gluten free bun and received a plain bun instead only bad part of the experience however everything else was top notch!

Hamont Reviewer

Positives: Friendly staff and convenient location: The staff at Browns Socialhouse in downtown Ottawa were friendly and welcoming. The location was easy to get to from our hotel. Delicious food: The food was very good, especially the burger (made with gluten-free ingredients!), tuna poke bowl, and fish and chips. Areas for Improvement: Flat beverages: Unfortunately, the fountain pop was flat, and they only had bottled drinks available. The server mentioned they have recurring problems with this. Similarly, the beer on tap was also flat, which was a letdown. Gluten-free communication: I called the restaurant beforehand to inquire about gluten-free options. I was informed they have dedicated fryers for gluten-free items. However, upon arrival, the menu descriptions seemed to contradict this. It would be helpful if the menu could be more accurate regarding gluten-free options to avoid any confusion for future diners with dietary restrictions. Overall: Browns Socialhouse has the potential to be a great spot with its friendly staff and delicious food. However, some improvements in beverage service and menu accuracy, particularly regarding gluten-free options, would enhance the dining experience.

Great atmosphere, fresh ingredients, great flavours, good portion size. Very helpful and friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Different spin from Thai Express. We had the Drunken Noodle Box and Cambodian Jungle curry. Both were excellent and we’d get them again. Lots of great options including gluten free and vegan options.
