David Alexander

Amazing chicken sandwich and gluten free which is fantastic! Will definitely be back.

Gluten-free specialty store. I was very satisfied with the taste, which didn't feel like it was gluten-free. The employees are kind and it's a recommended place. Some people can also speak Korean.

Danielle Truong

Delicious fish and chips, super appreciate the separate frier for gluten free items.

Jodie TC

Amazing menu, I could literally eat everything. Super friendly staff. Our waiter had a gluten intolerance so I’m wondering if his dietary requirements are a reason for the great menu. All desserts were gf and I could eat the fries, first time in a 2 week road trip I’ve been able to do this! Gorgeous pub with outdoor seating and a river nearby.

vancouver’s cutest (and tastiest) ice cream sandwich spot! 🍪🍨 Innocent Ice Cream Parlour is such a gem — gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and absolutely packed with flavor. I grabbed a cookie sandwich with chocolate mint ice cream and it blew me away. The cookies are soft, the ice cream is rich, and the vibe is super cozy with its pink-themed decor. Great spot for a late-night treat! Staff were friendly and helpful, and the fact that it’s allergy-conscious makes it a go-to for everyone. Highly recommend if you're craving something sweet, stylish, and inclusive.

Amazing little find! I had the sausage breakfast bagel it tasted like Tim Hortons ! Donuts are amazing too!

Always fantastic food and friendly service! Online stuff needs work though - online ordering perpetually says "coming soon" and the website menu is often out of date. But I'll give them a pass for that because the ability to go to a restaurant as a celiac and safely order anything I want off the menu is so fantastically wonderful I can't take a star off for such a small oversight.

Laura Parce

Fabulous gluten-free bakery, we had baguette sandwiches, my husband is not gluten-free and he thought it was great. My rhubarb tart was delicious

Heidi Smith

Celiac friendly They have a dedicated fryer and their staff are super friendly and conscientious. It is such a relief to be treated so kindly when you have food allergies. The food is scrumptious and being by the water on a sunny afternoon/evening is a little piece of heaven.

Erynne Green

Best gluten free bread I've ever had. Light, fluffy, and actually turns golden when you toast it. So delicious.

Dr. Sanjiv Sharma

A fine dining place facing white rock pier . Gluten free options are there

Ada S.

We came from Barcelona for a bite to eat. The food and service were excellent, attentive to everything and welcoming. A very good option for celiacs and highly recommended in general!

Wendy Fraser

Best fish and chips in the valley!! And gluten free as well.

Ruby Wineck

Stumbled upon this gem while on my way to the ferry… 100% gluten free menu and the most delicious fish and chips ever! I loved the house salad as well. We sat outside and the vibes were casual and very relaxing. Service was also very quick. Highly recommend!

Regular crust pizza is okay but not remarkable. Gluten-friendly crust pizza leaves to be desired. Home artisan potatoes are soft and don’t taste freshly made at all. Customer service is great; very thorough with modifications. We enjoyed their home made lemonade.

Cheri Miles

I go here every time I'm in Sidney. The gluten free options are amazing 🤩

danielle simpson

Be love is quite literally the best restaurant we've ever dined at. We've been several times now and have never been disappointed. The quality and portions are consistent, flavors are unbelievable. Everything is so fresh, you can really feel the love poured into every dish. A dream spot for anyone who is vegan and/or gluten free but ive also dined there with friends who are neither who have said it's the best food they've had. Keep doing what you're doing, its magic! ❤️🌷🙏

Paul Cooper

Super coffee and gluten free cake options

Adam Highway

My husband and I brought a couple of out of town friends here Wednesday night, as we've always enjoyed the food before. There were SOME problems that night - mistakes with the orders, etc - but I can't praise Agatha enough! She was extremely friendly, apologetic for any issues, very attentive to me (celiac) and made the whole experience an absolute pleasure. The food was delicious, as always. I highly recommend visiting!

Hannah Staples

Went for dinner with my spouse on Father's Day. We barley even waited before we were sat at a table. Honestly I was very surprised given the day we were dining. Out server was really warm and attentive. He suggested and I ordered the Pink Gin Froze and it was really nice. Not too sweet but tasty. Would order again. Let our server know we had both Celiac and dairy allergy at our table and was very accommodating. I ordered the Chicken Parm burger on a gf bun with a side of gf mac & cheese. IT WAS SO GOOD and everything I wanted and hoped it would be. The sandwich packed with flavour and the perfect amount of messy. The mac & cheese was cooked perfectly with the gf noodles not overdone and the sauce thick and cheesy. My other half got the BLT chicken sandwich with fries. He really enjoyed it as well. If there is only one suggestion we could make it would be to offer dairy free cheese for the burgers. It's so hard to find dairy free cheese burgers literally anywhere. Given the how the menu is already set up, it would be a cool add on. Anyways, it didn't matter all that much because the chicken burgers were still amazing! We were too full for dessert as tempting as it looked on the menu. Such a great local gem and I look forward to visiting again!

Ali Crossley

Absolutely fantastic. Quick service and amazing gluten free options on menu….you wouldn’t even know it was vegan ;) the Kalimari is a absolute game changer!

Lili Mörschbächer

Wow! We are completely in love with this place! We stopped by for Father's Day because my husband is celiac, and we were so thrilled with the experience. First of all, we absolutely loved that they have separate fryers, and had already heard great things about the care they take with gluten-free food - they did not disappoint! There were so many amazing options. I’m now officially obsessed with their Beet & Pear salad, I was literally texting my friends while eating it because it was that good. My husband had the gluten-free chicken burger, which was super flavourful and perfectly crispy. And our toddler had the gluten-free chicken fingers and mac & cheese, she can be a picky eater, but she gobbled it all up! To top it off, we had the London Fog Crème Brûlée - not only was it delicious, but the portion was huge! We loved the whole experience and will definitely be back. I wish I had snapped a photo of the salad, but I did get one of the crème brûlée!

Sean McEvoy

Subpar vegan cheeses and gluten free pizza. Good garlic knots. Overrated and costly for low quality food

A D

Our poutine came out just warm, but was tasty. The onion rings were really good. Cool vibe in there. Fantastic gluten free and vegan options. Totally vegetarian restaurant.

Peter Longhurst

We've eaten here and had a great experience. Most recently I just dropped by to pick up some take out. Awesome for celiacs :)

Debbie

The beer was good. The service was good. Unfortunately the food was not good. We came for the gluten free fish and chips. They were heavily deep fried and over cooked with a tiny thin layer of fish. Worst fish ever. The calamari was good and fried well so why was the fish over done? They did remove the charge but dinner was a disappointment.

Mandy Santana

The BEST fish and chips that I’ve had in a long time and the fact that it was gluten free made it so much better! The service is excellent and the food was delicious! Definitely recommend to everyone 👌🏼👏🏼

Ronda Stewart

Let me start with “I don’t leave a review very often”. We ate at Sopra Sotto two nights in a row it was that good. The first night we took a seat at the bar rather than wait for a table and the second night we asked to sit at the bar because of the wonderful service and interactions we had with Ruairi. Ruairi not only entertained us while we watched him making multiple cocktails but he also made great menu recommendations. The Gnocchi with Braised Beef, Rigatoni Fume Pasta and Lava Chocolate dessert were amazing. This is the best restaurant we have been to in seven weeks of travelling. The name of the restaurant is misleading because whilst the pizzas looked amazing it has quite an extensive variety of pasta, antipasti and desserts with a great wine list and cocktails. I ordered gluten free pasta and desert to share with my husband and he couldn’t tell the difference….their gluten free options are that good.

BEST PLACE FOR GLUTEN FREE/VEGAN FINE DINING!!! Super fancy, absolutely delicious, amazing atmosphere with the live musicians. My fiance and I were swooning over how luxurious our anniversary dinner was. Its been a long time since we've found a place that meets our dietary restrictions AND makes us feel like we had a real fancy night out. Cannot recommend this place enough. Also, try the silk route feast! Its worth every penny!!🤤

Sarah Desrosiers

The food: Phenomenal. The smoothies are great, the bowls are savory and full of great stuff, the banh mi wrap is my all time favourite... everything is good, filling and healthy! One of the only places I can eat at that doesn't hurt my stomach afterwards (the girls get it). They serve fast, it's easy to order ahead and have meals that are ready to be taken out and cooked at home. The service: Even better. They are kind, accommodating, personable and don't judge you when you've ordered the same thing three days in a row. The location: Feels like a community space. They always have posters of local events, host local artists and it is wheelchair accessible! Based on all my experience there, I'd also say they are neurodivergent friendly - always patient, don't mind repeating themselves and are willing to adjust. FYI: I'm not vegan or gluten-intolerant. :) I just love good food. Keep it up!

CELIAC DAUGHTER VIOLENTLY THROWING UP! My wife (also a celiac) confirmed with the Wendle’s staff 3 times that the banana bread is gluten free. It was not. The banana bread was in with all the gluten free items, so after triple checking with the Wendle’s team and seeing the loaf was with the other GF items, we determined it was safe for our 5.5 year old SEVERELY celiac daughter. She’s now thrown up all over our house and is continuing to throw up! When I called Wendle’s to let them know about this horrible situation they said “oh, we don’t serve any gluten free banana bread. Then they offered me a gift card to replace the items my wife bought. TRAIN YOUR STAFF AROUND ALLERGIES! This is not ok! And one more thing… a few years ago my then 3.5 year old and I were at Wendle’s and my daughter was about to pee her pants. The bathroom like up was 20 minutes long, so I asked if she could use the staff bathroom and was told NO in a VERY rude and nasty way. Oh Wendle’s. You should not be as busy as you are.

Donna Macdonald

What a great place for a Celiac to eat. Not only do they have a Gluten Free menu but they also have a dedicated part of the kitchen to prepare food With a dedicated fryer. A couple of options for a great GF beer as well.

Monika Gerow

Staff at Cook st. Village location are just so kind and truly make the visit! Gluten free burgers serve. So good. Love this little spot!

Erik Standaert

East is East is hands-down one of the most unique and soulful dining experiences you’ll find in the city. From the moment you walk in, you’re enveloped by the cozy, bohemian vibe—dim lighting, live music, and aromatic spices drifting from the kitchen. The décor and ambiance transport you somewhere between Istanbul and Kathmandu. I highly recommend the “Chai Feast”—a rotating selection of dishes from across the Silk Road served tapas-style. Every bite is rich, layered, and made with love. Personal standouts: the Afghan eggplant, lamb kebabs, and the mango butternut squash stew. And don’t miss their house chai—refillable, spiced to perfection, and served with a smile. The staff are warm and knowledgeable, and the entire experience feels like you’re a guest in someone’s beautifully curated home. Whether you’re a meat-eater, vegan, or gluten-free, there’s something flavorful and nourishing here for you. This isn’t just dinner—it’s a cultural experience. Perfect for date night, out-of-town visitors, or when you just need a warm soul-hug in the form of food.

Fiona L

Absolutely loved that this restaurant is 100% gluten free! However the service and food was mediocre. The chicken tajine was well flavoured and a good portion to price, however the rice was quite dry to the point where it was a bit crunchy…. The braised beef sandwich was very disappoint. For the price it’s very small and didn’t really have any of the toppings listed in the menu. Service was slow and not very coordinated, by the time I received my dish everyone else at the table was already done eating. The chicken waffle sandwich was actually very good and a good portion for the price!

Alice Trombley

Thank you for making pizza that I can actually eat that tastes amazing. Finding a gluten-free/dairy-free pizza that doesn’t taste like chemicals and sadness is a true feat. ❤️

Marck S

Like this place very much. We tend to visit each time we are in the area. Great selection of vegetarian items, gluten free bakery options, as well as good breakfast and lunch choices.

Chris Barron

Amazing for gluten free / coeliac. All tacos GF and no concerns about being able to cater safely. Delicious tacos!

Dan Ket

And it’s a great short walk to GM or BC Place

Kathleen Oneill

Made me a gluten free pizza in under 10 minutes because we needed to catch the ferry! Delicious and speedy

Kiah-Marie Stephens

Celiac safe, Gluten free food. It was INSANE! Loved it so much, definitely recommend. Staff were so reassuring and happy to help ☺️

Quinn Campbell

Always a lovely evening on the patio overlooking False Creek. The food and service is great and my partner who has celiac disease never has a reaction. Thanks to Danielle and team for a great meal!

Jennah Marie

Really delicious food! Fresh and lots of gluten free options. Highly recommend

Cameron Shier

This place is great! Love the food and the yam fries, The service is friendly, and it's awesome that they have gluten free buns!

André Paris

I will however that the very busy bartender didn't know of his own establishments policies and practices surrounding gluten free. Everything is prepared separately. Use an app like find me GF if you want a more accurate picture of any establishment.

Sherry

Extremely disappointed and will not be eating here again. We had 2 people ordering, one with celiac and one with a dairy allergy. We ordered take out and the menu states GF and DF and we talked to the person taking the order about this. All was good until we went to pick up the order 45 minutes later and they decided to tell us then that there was cross contamination in the fryer. We are not at all impressed, why were we not told when we ordered or someone could have called us back but they only informed us when we went pick up.

Barry D

Friendly atmosphere, food tasted great. My wife and I got the fish n chips as she is sensitive to gluten and they did not disappoint.

Darragh Greaney

Couldn’t recommend this place more. Staff were honestly amazing. Modified the menu for celiac and honestly was so so tasty. Hats off to the chefs! Special thanks to Kat, Paige and Darren. They were so welcoming and nice, one of best experiences we’ve had to date in Vancouver. Thank you all 🎉

Brenda Walker

Always a great experience! Especially the young lad helped a lady up out of her seat which impressed us! We took the time to tell him and the owner how impressed we were….. as a side note VERY celiac friendly which is why we went in the first place! This place will not disappoint….. Cassie you are the best too!

diana estrada

Best breakfast we ever had! We took my husband for his birthday and we love it! Foos is delicious and they have a lot of options, including GLUTEN FREE! We love it!!! Highly recommend
