Top 50 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Enjoy in Alberta

Thank you SO MUCH for all the gluten free options. Amazing service. Place could do a masterclass on poached eggs (my grandmother would have been very impressed)

Lindsey Campbell

Me and my son love this place, as it’s a really good gluten free option, that actually tastes good! Would definitely recommend!

Paul Roney

Hands down, one of the best REAL gluten free places in Calgary.

Monica Lantz

Cannot recommend more! It was safe for celiacs and even made a carnivore say he could become vegetarian. Really beautiful and tasty food! The staff is so polite and kind.

The food is incredible! The chicken crack and cauliflower is the best combination, popcorn chicken and fried cauliflower. If you’re gluten free and haven’t been here, you need to go. I come here with people who can eat gluten all the time and they also love it.

Jennifer Heard

Absolutely love Communitea Cafe in Canmore! The vibe is warm and welcoming, the food is fresh and flavourful, and there are tons of clearly marked gluten-free and vegan options. As someone with celiac disease, I felt completely safe eating here. Great service, amazing teas, and a beautiful space. Highly recommend!

What a delightful surprise to find an incredible vegan meal in the mountains of Alberta. My dining partner said this was the best meall they’ve ever eaten out, and I can see why. Having so many vegan and gluten-free options. That were a part of the menu, not an afterthought was delightful! The way all restaurants should be. We shared the falafel appetizer which got eaten so quickly. I didn’t get a picture. 😅 The two main dishes we had, shown in photos, we are both incredible, especially the gratine dish. Fantastic, homemade vegan cheese. The decaf coffee was great with an almond milk option. And the gluten-free, vegan tart for dessert was to die for. The staff was knowledgeable about ingredients in their dishes, and unlike some fancy restaurants, we’re quite happy to remove or add ingredients to meet dietary needs. What a beautiful dining experience. We ate outside in the patio near the street, and it was relatively quiet and a great way to enjoy the town.

Worst meal I’ve had in a long time. Gluten free poutine was inedible. Felt like the fries had been sitting all day. They were grease upon grease.

Rob

We had breakfast here and came back the next day for again breakfast and lunch take out. Pancakes delicious!! They have separate glutenfree menu, all options i had where amazing. Kind service.

Janice Palmer

I had a gluten free pizza from Spiros delivered last night. I have to say it was the best GF crust I have ever had. Thank you!

Makenna Short

Went for the first time this weekend and we love it! Fantastic Gluten Free options and they took my allergy very seriously. Super yummy food and the staff were amazing and lovely and kind 💕

chavy dworkind

All the arepas can be made gluten free. A bit too greasy but tasty and good quick service.

Lydia Van Thiel

Gluten free crepe. ! Delicious.

Thea-Rose Catto

Best ice cream ever!! The ice cream sandwiches and the cheesecake were both incredible!! Definitely will be back!! (Everything is gluten free, which sometimes people are weird about but I swear everything tastes better because of it and I'm not gluten free!)

Stephanie

The service was decent and the atmosphere is great, but the pizza has definitely changed. It was disappointing to learn that the gluten free crust is different. The crust is more crunchy and doesn’t taste as nice; the previous option was soft and could hardly tell it was gluten free. It also seems they are very inconsistent with topping amounts. Ordered the exact same pizza on the regular crust as well and it had about half the toppings as the gluten free one.

Amy C

Good range of items that could be made gluten free. I had the JBC burger with GF bun. It took a long time to arrive and I was told it was because the GF fryer took longer than the normal one. The meal was really tasty but unfortunately was only just warm. I ate it because it already waited nearly half an hour for it.

Deepshikha Brar

My son took me for late Mother's Day dinner. Amazing vibe and so flavorful food. Service is top-notch. Being a celiac, I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Courtney Clark

Rob gave us excellent service and the food was to die for. My mom and I both have celiac and the strawberry French toast was fire. They were accommodating and fast!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Path Plant Based Metaphysical Café is truly a treasure in every sense of the word. Their food is always delicious, but what sets them apart is the incredible care and thoughtfulness they show toward their customers. Recently, I asked if they could make their gluten-free nuts and bolts mix—a seasonal favorite of mine—and they joyfully agreed, even though they no longer focus exclusively on gluten-free offerings. When I picked it up, they mentioned they had trouble sourcing some ingredients and had to improvise, but they still put so much love into making it. They even gifted it to me, which was such an unexpected and heartwarming gesture. This kindness turned my entire day around. It reminded me how special this café is, not just for their food (which is amazing—I even got to enjoy one of their gluten-free pretzels, my favorite!), but for the heart they pour into everything they do. If you’re looking for a place with tasty plant-based treats and a team of people who genuinely care, The Path is the place to be. Thank you for always going the extra mile and for being such a blessing to your community!

At first glance this place wasn't what I was expecting. The cook was super friendly and welcoming. The gluten free chicken was SO GOOD!! I'd definitely have it again. The dynamite roll was ok, the gf breaded shrimps were the star of that dish and the rest were just supporting actors.. thanks

Christina Bialik

Great food, great vibes, and best celiac friendly breakfast in town! (Also good for non-celiacs too)

**WARNING - Long Review** To start off, I, being a forgiving imperfect human myself, have eaten at many different establishments. Whether it be “high class” or “whole in the wall” types of places. I’ve worked in the foods & service industry for many years. Only reason why I gave this a two stars, is for the fact that I am showing compassion to our server, who seemed to be either inexperienced or very overwhelmed. I was not aware of where our dinner reservations were going to be (definitely was not dressed to impress, and don’t tend to really dress to show my status anyway. My skin colour tends to do that for me before I even have a chance to speak, to show those who make judgements/presumptions otherwise… ~ would dressing prettier or more put together made a difference to how everything transpired… highly unlikely!) When I walked up and saw the sign, I was excited to experience what all the hubbub was about. Our group walked in and we were in very happy spirits, very excited to be uniting to celebrate my sister-in-laws 70th spin around the sun. We were greeted by a person that didn’t seem too impressed with the volume of our joy and promptly asked us if we had a reservation. It took him a few seconds to find the name and then directed us to follow towards our table. Reservation was for ten people. Set very nicely, in the middle of the room. We were respectful with timing and were not late for our reservation either… we arrived at approximately 6:20pm, the reservation was for 6:30pm. As we all settled and found our seats, we all noticed that our server wasn’t present. (Which we all agreed was a fair bit odd, as we are all accustomed to have someone either offer to bring water for the entire table, promptly after being seated, or offer a moment to decide on drinks. After about 5 minutes the server finally took the order. Not sure why it took 10 to 15 minutes for the bartender to pour five or six glasses of wine into the mini carafes, along with preparing a couple of glasses of draft, and pouring ginger ale into a glass, but even the water hadn’t been brought to the table yet. At this point, it was not busy. There were about 8 tables with customers already seated, and possibly had given their order. Can’t say for sure… After there were a few mixups with which wine belonged to whom and a glass of wine, with what seemed like, to be missing for a good 20 minutes, we were finally able to put our meal orders in. At this point we’d been sitting for just over 30 minutes… At about 7:15pm (give or take, it may have been later) the server brings a few plates of a sliced baguette with a creamy cucumber butter. For those who could eat it, it went down fairly quick, all voracious by that point, thinking we would be close to finally seeing the light of our meals. Sadly, we were all sorely mistaken. (Personally, I have a severe gluten/dairy intolerance and was not able to enjoy the bread and butter). One good thing out of all that waiting, our server was able to replenish our water & beverages, when she wasn’t too busy. At about 7:48pm, still no meals. My husband, sadly, cannot eat after a certain time and he had to ask for his meal to be cancelled. The server seemed a little indignant as to why he was cancelling the order (as some of our group also wanted to do, including myself) and I found it quite ignorant that she would respond in such a way and make it sound like it was inconsiderate of HIM to even make such a request. It was after 8pm when we finally received our food! Over an hour wait! When the food finally arrived, the GF/DF seafood **Penne** (there is not a GF Tagliatelle option, and had we known that, we wouldn’t have ordered it), other plates arrived lukewarm also. My sister-in-law and I both sent our plates to get properly heated. It had three cherry tomatoes cut in half, shrimp was tough and the DF sauce was a watery/oily mess at the bottom of the plate. The dish had a kick to it, but no actual flavour. There was zero compensation for the long delay or poor quality of the meal. Would not recommend!!

We went bc a friend's recommendation and it was worth it. We had some beers and tried the poutine, which was delicious, crunchy chips and super tasty. There is gluten free beer.

Barbara Spieker

Nice atmosphere, good food, great value for money. And fully gluten-free.

Nancy

The food is delicious with lots of gluten free options! Tamara was our server, super friendly and welcoming! We will be back!

P LP

Great food! Been here twice now & I really enjoy it. Great gluten free options too! If you’re hungry & enjoy good bbq this is the place!

H Marie

Gluten free pizza was delish, service was great!

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.

Margaret Tanaka

The club house was one of the best I've tasted!! My grandson liked his meal so much he ordered a second as a take out. My daughter loved the gluten free bun she had. The service was exceptional! We are definitely adding this place to our regular stops as we pass by!

Greg B

Dedicated fryers..a dream for celiacs. Highly recommended before or after a jasper trip.

Joel M

Tasty local smoki dog, also offer gluten free which is cool

Nadia S

The coffee is good, service is great, and the pastries are good. However, gluten-free items are not on the top of the pastry cabinet, where they should be, to be properly labelled. There needs to be more strict standards for where they keep these items, especially for celiacs. Otherwise, don't bother calling it gluten-free.

Been many times the absolute best tacos

We really enjoyed our meal here from the food to the atmosphere to the service. At first, we were disappointed with the menu since they have limited gluten-free options. It would be so easy for them to get a good quality vegan/gluten-free bread – – perhaps from”Food in the Nud” nearby — and be able to offer a gluten-free option for the sandwich and tomato soup combo and the veggie burger combo, both items that we hoped to try. We ended up very happy with our selection, however, and shared the gluten-free pancakes, which were Matcha/lemon/blueberry and the vegan omelette. Both had incredible flavor profiles, were cooked to perfection, and you could tell they were made with quality ingredients. We are so grateful to have found this restaurant during our visit to Edmonton.

Makayla

Amazing food and wonderful welcoming service! Everyone at my table was raving about how delicious their plates were. Fresh seasonal fruit is common in the dishes and it was lovely. Marching was our server and you can tell he is very passionate about his job here. Friendly and attentive. If anyone in your party is gluten sensitive they have a delicious gluten free crepe with fresh fruit. I ordered a traditional breakfast with a side of avocado. Everyone loved their lattes as well.

Tom Wilk

Great atmosphere and food. Gluten free menu is amazing for those who need it.

Steve Anderson

Andy and his staff were very accommodating! I am Celiac and the entree’s were clearly marked. Food preparation was excellent and served properly. We felt welcomed and at ease on a busy night. Thanks!

Michael James

My wife and I were in Hinton on a camping trip and I wanted to try this place as I love local coffee shops. We walked in and were greeted by the two gentleman working that day. The barista was very helpful in making suggestions and I settled on a caramel macchiato and a date slice. I must mention that he was kind enough to tell me that a traditional macchiato was more of an espresso shot so that I wouldn't possibly be disappointed. We sat for awhile and enjoyed the coffee and the date slice that was made fresh was also delicious. I also noticed that they make breakfast and lunch items and cater to gluten free and other dietary needs. So if you're in Hinton and want to try some good local coffee with good conversation and a very friendly atmosphere please try The Old Grind. Looking forward to our next visit. 🙂☕️

Martin McManus

Great little venue supporting local music! It was packed this Saturday and staff did an amazing job keeping the pizzas and beer flowing all night. Great vibe, pizza (loved the Porkie Pie) and friends had the gluten-free option. Well worth supporting.

Paul Robertson

Matt McQueen

Unbelievably good bbq! This platter had brisket, rib ends, chicken, sausage, and side ribs, along with fries, coleslaw, and cornbread. So many gluten free options too! Everything on this platter is gluten free, even the gravy and the cornbread!

Elena Mager-Tetz

A Celiac Foodie's Dream! The food here is outstanding - chef Joseph goes above and beyond. It is such a treat to have delicious, local, farm-to-table style dishes that are also created with a knowledgeable kitchen and staff. Indoor/Outdoor dining is a definite plus and the ambiance is great. I regularly crave the Poutines and the GF Brownie, although every item here is a hit.

cory springer

Nice little cafe . Lots of gluten fee options

Judith Foster

Chris Kennedy

Amazing poutine! Attended with a friend from Australia and we were both blown away. We had the Notorious PIG and the Cluster Buck. Wife had a Cluster Buck with vegan cheese and gluten free gravy. Staff was very accommodating to her allergies without issue! Would highly recommend!

Greg Donnelly

Just fabulous food. Gluten free, super tasty & innovative! So happy you’re in Canmore.

Brittany Bourgeois

We come to Famoso in red deer every time we come through. Food is excellent. Staff is friendly. So good. I have celiac and eat at Famoso as one of my top choices because I have never gotten glutened there.

Shallene McGrath

This was a great experience. The ambiance and the chandeliers in restaurant and lobby are amazing. The food was good -tea was great. There are gluten free options. But what really made the experience was the staff. Our knowledgeable waiter made some great suggestions for local activities.

Sarah Stamile

The best gluten free pizza I've ever had. I'm addicted to the crust. Just phenomenal food that deserves a standing ovation.
