Top 20 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots Across British Columbia

Jason Whitmore

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.

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 Online stuff needs work though - online ordering perpetually says "coming soon" and the website menu is often out of date.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.

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

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.

Morgan A.

Solid 5 stars!!! EVERYTHING is gluten free. The cafe is beautiful and so zen. I got a green onion & cheddar scone and was recommended the blueberry apple crumble muffin. Delicious!

Paul Cooper

Super coffee and gluten free cake options

Becca

Amazing food!!! As someone with celiac, I haven't had Chinese food in since I was diagnosed, and it was absolutely delicious. Even my non gluten free family loved the dishes we got to share. Will definitely be a new go to when I'm in Vic🙌👌

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!

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!

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 :)

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.

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. ❤️

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

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!

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 🎉

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

sk8good1

I have to eat gluten free ( not celiac) and the Dalorit dish (roasted butternut squash) was absolutely delicious in my opinion and of course, gluten free! I would highly recommend!

Winna Mitchell

Best Gluten Free fish and chips!

Matt

Celiac friendly bar. Dedicated fryer for gluten free with lots of options. Nice layouts for sports viewing in the bar area and indoor picnic table seating area. Also an indoor games corner and outdoor seating area

james durrant

food was great, views amazing and staff very knowledgeable would return

Matt

Best churros I've ever had. Service was friendly with a unique atmosphere. Totally gluten free too

Chelsea Vancouver

Love the cider flights and the desserts were especially great! Gluten free and vegetarian options available. Individual non gendered washrooms. I recommend making a reservation if you are going for dinner.

Aaron Wilmshurst

Came in for breakfast on a big pow day which kept the number of customers down which was nice. Staff were only too happy to cater for non gluten eater well as a picky eating child. Food was hot and tasty and the drinks were warm and comforting. Would recommend.

Matt

Small town diner vibes. Celiac friendly restaurant. The fryers are naturally gluten free. I got the fried chicken sandwich with slaw and it was stunningly good with a surprisingly very good ciabatta like gluten free bun. Lots of gluten free options on the menu too. This will be my main stop through Pemberton from now on!

Caleb Jankola

Quick and friendly service. Food is quite good, with Gluten Free options for sandwiches and muffins. Coffee is tasty too, however my only complaint is they use the same tongs to serve you the GF Muffins as the regular wheat muffins. So if you are sensitive to cross contamination, either ask them for fresh tongs or avoid the muffins.

Micaela Yawney

The BEST spot for a quick meal in Victoria. Buffet, self serve style. The food is always hot and delicious and affordable. Kind staff. Washrooms. Wifi. The best desserts and drinks. Gluten free and dairy free options. Lots of seating for small and big groups.

I booked a Mother’s Day dinner at The Table Bistro to celebrate my mom, and it was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional—and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing server, Taylor. Taylor was friendly, knowledgeable, and absolutely wonderful with my little one. She had fantastic recommendations and made us feel so well taken care of. Her attentiveness and warmth truly elevated our evening—she turned a lovely dinner into a true 5-star experience. My mom and I both have gluten allergies, and we were so impressed by the number of delicious, high-quality gluten-free options available. It’s rare to feel so confident and included when dining out, but The Table Bistro really delivered. The food, the atmosphere, and the service were all top-tier. I can honestly say I’ve yet to have a better experience at a restaurant. Highly recommend The Table Bistro—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Taylor as your server!

Lindsey Johnston

Had a great first experience here today. They are especially accommodating for Gluten free options.

Nikul Sharma

We where served so well by the staff esp Ashwanth. The food was awesome and gluten free allergy was well taken care off. Highly recommend for ambience and Tasty Indian food.

danisa

Food was really good. Appetizers were a great size and well priced. Lots of gluten free options with a dedicated fryer. Look forward to visiting again.

Chanelle

I am always very happy with my experience here, the coffee, the gluten-free baked goods (Sweetened with maple syrup!!), and my chats with the owner. Definitely buy their beans if you're a coffee conoseur! Thank you for actually fulfilling my request for an "extra hot" beverage!

Laurie Noel

It's a gluten free restaurant with great vegan options. Never disappoints. Super friendly staff, I go almost every time I'm in Port Alberni

Bradley Warren

Best gluten free bun ever!! As someone with celiac, Finding a decent gluten free bun can be hit or miss. The hamburger bun was so soft and didn't crumble when I ate it, honestly the best ever. Staff was extremely friendly and we even had a few nice little conversations. Can't wait to go back :)

Sarah

The server was wonderful and made sure that my food came out gluten free. I have celiac and I feel very comfortable eating here. I'm thoroughly impressed with my entire experience.

RIZZO 250

Really nice place to relax with a few drinks. Didn't have any food as we had just come from a café but we did get a flight and oh my god. I need to go back to get more if that blueberry basil. Until I do it will stay in my dreams, Highly recommend checking it out. They had indoor outdoor seating. Their menu had things marked as Gluten Free although since we didn't order im not sure if they have a designated fryer or not. Thankyou for the wonderful service staff, you were all so nice 😊

Alana Cober

Favourite ice cream place in the valley. Has great celiac and vegan options. The owner even remembered my allergies.

Sarah Kwasinski

Stopped into White Rabbit this morning to grab a cookie, muffin and coffee. I am pretty regular there as I have a few allergies and they have ample gluten free and vegan options which I need. The muffin today was strawberry lemon and it was to die for. I also love their apple cinnamon but honestly I haven't tried one that isn't great. My two friends came with me and we all grabbed the should be famous choco chunk cookie. The staff is always so friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. This place is 100% a hidden gem and a must visit.

The best, most innovative goodies! Such a good selection of gluten free stuff too!!!

fishlet

This is the best!!! I am so happy!!! I have celiac and I felt safe at this restaurant : ) The staff are so friendly and also knowledgeable about food allergies. Their music was great too and I almost had trouble eating cus I was headbanging (calmly headbanging to calm music .) Please never close down. I didnt finish my food cause i got real full but it was sooo good Im like tweaking. Thanks

Brenda Duggan

Had the parmesan chicken burger gluten free. The bun was very nice texture and burger was flavourful. The fries were crispy and fresh. Service was fast and friendly and felt good knowing funds were going toward community fundraiser.
