Top 27 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Explore in Kelowna

This is one of my favourite hidden gems in Kelowna. I don’t normally eat seafood or much fish. But this place changed that for me. The fish they bring in is so fresh and of such high quality. The batter is so thin and crispy. It’s also gluten free. The cod and halibut are my favourites. The tartar sauce is amazing. The coleslaw is one of my favs also. The service is excellent. They also serve wine and beers and cocktails. The happy hour has many great choices. A definite must try in Kelowna.

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.

El Taquero recently catered our wedding. They were absolutely incredible in all aspects. They had an exceptional team during the lead up to the event. On the day of they were extremely organized, personable with our guests, and the food was AMAZING! They managed allergies and took great care with my celiac disease. We are a few weeks out and I still have guests commenting on how delicious the food was! A huge thank you to the whole team! You made our special day that much more special!

They’re great at accommodating gluten-free dairy-free! I was able to get a burger with no cheese, butter, etc. and didn’t get sick. However, that is the only thing on the menu that is gluten free (other than salad). My partner ordered fish tacos - they were drizzled with liquidy guacamole. The guacamole used at least a small amount of spoiled avocado and it ruined the whole dish. The burgers are pork and beef mixed. They were great at accommodating kids, the server was nice and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was as expected.

Most delicious Gluten Free pizza I have ever eaten! The fried chicken was excellent as well. I will definitely eat here again.

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Kelowna !! They’ve been here over a YEAR!!! Best find ever. I’m currently posted up here by myself, working on my laptop while munching away on the most Bombbb food and sipping margaritas. I’ve tried a number of items off the menu and every single thing has been a winner. The service is always fantastic and incredibly friendly. Fantastic Happy Hours with delightful drinks and all my favourite dishes on the happy hour menu. They don’t use gluten in the building for anything and outsource their flour tortillas and buns. I have experienced zero digestive issues which is almost unheard of eating out. **Must try** the tacos dorados & the sticky ribs appies Huaraches are so good too omg - obsessed w the birria one. GLUTEN FREE CHURROS. Tacos and Burritos are equally bomb according to those who I’ve brought here so far haha 1000/10 recommend

Wow, just wow. I didn't think I'd ever find a good gluten free crepe, but low and behold, Empire Crepe exists. I've tried many different crepes with all different types of batter and they all have had a gritty texture or a taste that was starkly gluten free. Not Empire Crepe. Next time I drive through Kelowna (or anywhere nearby) I will make sure that Empire Crepe is one of the stops I make!

Love this lovely cafe with gluten free options

Numerous people shared this is one of the Best restaurant's in Kelowna. Its TRUE. Hand made gluten free Gnocchi. The meals were made to fulfill flavour and given the artistic presentation. The attention to detail was fantastic, right down to the fresh rose on the table. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Thank you for the dinning experience.

Got the classic mixed plate (chorizo, chicken and ground beef). Told the server I am gluten and dairy free and they easily accommodate my dietary restrictions. Portions are bigger than expected and also more flavourful than expected (and I have high expectations). I also got a peach karma which is a drink made right in Kelowna! Highly recommend :)

Sydney

The service was great! The servers were all very friendly and attentive. The sushi was alright - nothing to swoon over but certainly scratched the itch. My main issue was everything was falling apart before you even added soya sauce. There were quite a few gluten free options, however they aren’t labelled which adds a bit of confusion and frustration.

Darby Stewart

This is my all-time favorite restaurant! The service is extremely friendly and extremely fast. Great portion sizes for a great price. I have celiac and I have word gluten-free food from this place many times and I have never had an allergic reaction ! Very impressed every time!

This place is awesome. We went two days in a row while visiting. The staff is SUPER nice. They have nitro cold brew! Really cool atmosphere. Delicious coffee. And they even gave our pup a big bone and told us he's welcome inside anytime. They also have a lot of gluten free options for pastries which is always a plus for me.

Natalie Gilgan

Went for lunch today, got a gluten free pita with chicken. The ladies working behind the counter were absolute dolls, excellent customer service and the pita itself was delicious. A great spot for lunch, quick and healthy.

Sarah Numminen

For a pub the menu is super interesting! It’s rare to see so many unique touches. There are a few gluten free items too; that was appreciated. Will definitely be back to try more items- I spied salads on the neighbouring table and they looked massive!

Impact Events

Great service and delicious food. Every time I go to Krafty I always say "why don't I come here more often?" The space is comfortable, the selection of food items are plenty and they have no problem accommodating my gluten free needs, along with a great BC wine list and tasty farm to glass cocktails. Mia is always a pleasure to see, but every team member ensures that you are comfortable and checks-in to make sure that you have everything you need. Highly recommend.

Such great pizza! Amazing quality! I never eat the crusts, but I do here! My family always orders a mix of regular as well as gluten free pizzas and everyone loves them, always! Any out of town guests rave about the pizza when we share about this place. And the owners are super nice. I've only ever done take-out. Super happy customers.

Cera Jezika

Great atmosphere, service and drink options. I’m celiac so I can’t speak for the beer myself but the Skaha Vodka Cocktail was delicious. Thank you for making a cocktail that’s affordable!! My partner also had the Caesar and said it was great. Our friends loved the beers and they have funny names. Nice snack food options, gluten free options too! And non-alcoholic options were nice, love the Motherlove Kombucha

Daniella Hohmann

The food was average and overpriced. The mozzarella balls were pretty good but the tomato sauce they came with could have been made with more spices, tasted like it was basically just tomatoes. It also tasted like it was made out of canned crushed tomatoes. The pizza’s took a long time to come out even though we were the only ones in the restaurant. I got the arugula prosciutto pizza and it was fine, a little dry just having an olive oil sauce. I did the combo and the Caesar salad was strangely oily. The gluten free pizza crusts weren’t very good, which was disappointing since you have to pay extra to substitute and there’s so many good gluten free alternatives out there now. My boyfriend’s pizza crust was undercooked and when they put it back in the oven they brought it back to him burnt. The reason I’m giving two stars instead of three for the average food is because they didn’t compensate or discount my boyfriend’s pizza at all despite it being undercooked and then burnt. Our server was very lovely though and if our review was based off of her service alone it’d be 5 stars :)

Rachel Enns

The best sushi in town. It's so fresh AND they were able to accommodate my gluten allergy. Thank you for a lovely meal! We will definitely be back!

Eric Formo

We reserved a table for 6 a day before. My wife and I had heard the food is excellent. No disappointment. The 6 of us shared 7 appetizers then each couple shared a main. All the food was flavourful and delicious. It felt like we were part of the family because of the above and beyond service. We all had a great experience. Bonus, the chefs were able to easily accommodate Celiac and egg free.

Ariel Lacusta

Best gluten free pizza! Had to call back and double check that it was GF because it tasted so good!

T Mart

Had a great evening at Born to Shake. The food was fantastic and the drinks were incredible, and the staff and owners were Superb! For us having so many gluten-free options was great. . Will definitely return.

Josh Mackinnon

Great place to try some Gluten-free ciders... and I mean all of their ciders are gluten free! They also went to the trouble of making a gluten free cheese board for me and the wife! Good chill vibes too.

Kimberley Truman

We enjoyed the Zeus bowl with chicken and the hand made pierogies. I wanted to visit here because many of their menu items could be customized for gluten free or Vegetarian diets. This is a family friendly eatery with various types of seating including a patio with patio heaters A wide variety of beers on tap are displayed on the wall. There were families with young children, couples, and a great deal of take out customers. All of the food going past our table looked amazing. My only complaint is that we had to wait quite a while for our food but when it did arrive it tasted great. The one woman serving the entire dining room ran her tuchus off and kept a bright smile on her face the entire time. We left a decent tip and will try again.
