Top 28 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Southeast Calgary

John Smith

I'm extremely pleased by the staff here. I had a food allergy I made my server aware of at the start. When they brought my meal, I had about .2 seconds to stare at it before another server swooped in and stole it back stating "Sorry this one isn't gluten free", and the manager appeared from the other side with the correct order. The whole switch out happened in less than 10 seconds. On top of that, there was no discernable difference to the appearance of the meals, to my eye anyways, so I'm even more impressed by how quick they noticed the wrong one had been presented first. Finally- it was Valentine's, and they were absolutely brutally packed and still managed to do all this with a smile. The food was great but it could have been awful at that point (as so many gluten free substitutions are anyways) and I still would have been amazed.

Picked up a gluten free lunch today, $30 for 1 meal is kinda ridiculous. I got pasta with the burger and it was an added $8 up charge to get a small portion of gross pasta. The pasta was horrible, very clearly reheated (not well) and definitely a day or 2 old. I could have made Kraft dinner that tasted better than their barely reheated pasta. I don’t know if they changed chefs but their pasta used to be amazing. Very disappointing

I stopped in for a quick lunch during a business trip. It’s always hard to find great vegan cuisine when I am traveling for work. This location was amazing, their menu had so many great vegan options to choose from along with great substitutions for gluten-free, soy free, etc. I went with the lemongrass, tofu, beet salad, and I asked to add some capers to it. The server was extremely friendly and had no problem accommodating my request. It was absolutely delicious. I wouldn’t change a single thing about it. I will gladly be back when I am back in the area. Ambience was great with a fun vibe. Very trendy. Even the bathroom was a lot of fun some cool wallpaper and fun color scheme.

Just want to rave about our experience tonight at The Keg on 130 ave SE Just went there for our celiac son’s 18th birthday dinner and they were incredible. The menu is clearly marked for GF diners but beyond that our server, Eden, took extra care to make sure our son was looked after. All his courses were delivered to the table by kitchen managers to ensure everything was safe and no cross contamination occurred. Well done team! That was refreshing 🥰

I was working in an office nearby and was looking for lunch - I haven’t eaten here since prior to my Celiac Disease diagnosis. I noticed on the menu that there is a wide variety of items across all categories that can be made “gluten conscious” with substituted items. If you have to avoid gluten you know sometimes there are no options, or no substitutions available and it can be a challenge eating the same things over and over again. I wanted to give it a shot, so I placed my order on the Moxies website with an ask for GC subs. I ordered the following to share with a gluten sensitive coworker: Truffle parm fries Roasted tomato and whipped feta dip Chipotle mango chicken The restaurant called right away and confirmed substitution selections with me. The fries were baked instead of fried to avoid cross contamination, the dip was served with crackers instead of bread, and the chicken was served with jasmine rice instead of ancient grains. When I went to pick up I was served by the manager who was incredibly friendly. I really appreciated the attention to detail and care that was put into my order- I did not feel like a burden or that the substitutions were too much work. The best part is that everything tasted great - I would happily reorder these items again and they kept absolutely fine in containers and made it back to the office. We both feel great hours after eating and are excited to be able to add some variation to an otherwise relatively flavourless mealtime. Thank you so much for taking the time to make my experience great, even if I didn’t dine in!

The gluten free options were diverse and plentiful, including deserts. Food was excellent. The service came with snark. The atmosphere was intrusively load- music was repeatedly turned up to the point even the server said she couldn't hear anything. I have been there before and food has always been good, service previously was attentive and pleasant, and the atmosphere quiet enough for conversation.

It is great to have a waitress that speaks Spanish and is so attentive and without hesitation makes changes to the order according to the dietary needs. Love they have gluten free options. Kendra was my waitress and she was amazing, fast, always friendly.

I always stop here on my break, as I've been working in the area the last few months. I'm celiac; have never had an issue with the GF treats, and I'm addicted to the lemon squares :p. There's worse addictions, i guess. Great coffee, also. To the guests who leave a negative review on the service; The owner has always been prompt and courteous to me, and to every other guest I've seen in there. I worked over 2 decades in this industry, and I'm not so entitled to expect what this culture demands out of service industry staff. You want a fake smile and someone to pretend to care, go spend 300$ on a fine-dining dinner. Attitude is or ignoring you is one thing, but this is not the case here. Seriously, go work in a cafe/restaurant for a year or 2 straight and see how you do. Please, check your privilege.

Damini was super friendly and informative, she helped me pick a few gluten friendly options and all were delish! She really knows her stuff and made the experience wonderful. I had the butter chicken and the onion pakora. Absolutely will be back and I’m excited to try some more items :) great service and food.

Yummy gluten free pasta!

We went to J Club tonight, for the first time, for my husband's birthday. We had the Butter Chicken, Teriyaki Stir-fry and our kids ate off the kids menu. All of our food was amazing, (the best we've had out in a long time,) and they had the option of a gluten free bun for my son's burger. The service was quick, and our server was great. Will definitely be back!

We had the pleasure of eating here after trying it a few months ago, very rarely do we find that there is consistency and they didn’t disappoint. The pasta was fresh and el dante …felt like I was in a cozy place in venice! The fellow (Ganesh) speaking to us was also very nice and told us about the fresh ingredients that go in the pasta. I had the gluten free gnocchi and my hubby had the creamy pesto ravioli. I’m always nervous eating out but he made sure everything was done absolutely perfectly! Really recommend this place as a nice night out and value for money!

I never give bad reviews unless there is a glaring issue. My wife has celiac disease — we called ahead at the time of reservation to ensure they could accommodate her, and spoke again with the server about the seriousness of the condition & importance to not have any wheat in the meal when we ordered. While the server said they would make absolutely sure the meal would be gluten free - There were no visits from any kitchen staff, which was disappointing, and bottom line - my wife had a severe reaction to the meal. Kept her up all night. We so rarely eat out - she’s basically said she’s never doing it again after this meal.
