As a celiac, this is the place to eat!

Cristina Smiarowski

Went for dinner and it was excellent! The scallop risotto was the special that evening and it was delicious. Also had the jerk chicken risotto and cheesecake for dessert. Our group was also very happy about all of the gluten free options on the menu.

Jeneva Moxon

What a sweet little place! Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and yummy food! Bonus of being family friendly and having lots of gluten free options. Very pleased we found this spot.

Service is always great. Very friendly staff. We had some espresso martinis, and some vodka sodas. Really love that their beer is gluten friendly. Patio space outside is great in the summer time.

A truly perfect stop for coffee, brunch, and a treat! Food and service were great! Gluten free quinoa bread available! We had the Turkey deli on the gluten free quinoa bread & a gluten free chocolate brownie! The garlic mustard seed aioli was SO good 🤤… we are thinking about it hours later. I also highly recommend the cans of carbonated water in the photos - they’re super unique flavors and really tasty when poured over ice. The purple can became my new fave!! Cute & cozy space with simple pretty decor & art on the walls. Good for photos 💓 Helpful staff & locals happy to give trail recommendations ☺️ Everytime I do the Cabot Trail I stop into this cute little spot! Seating both inside and outside available, large parking lot.

We had a spectacular dinner at 2 Doors Down. A cozy atmosphere, excellent service and the food was amazing! My partner is celiac so was very happy they had a gluten free seafood chowder, and it was so good. Loved the biscuits with the butter and molasses as well. I had the scallop and asparagus risotto….definitely recommend!

Phil Charles

AMAZING gluten-free desserts.

Dustin MacDougall

I've been going to Boondocks for over 20 years. The Fish N Chips are delicous, and I highly recommend them for any other celiac in the HRM

Do not miss this gem. Their gluten free fish chowder is sone of the best we ever had (and we had many). Fish tacos (glutenfree option) -lovely. Their chef definitely knows how to cook fish. Cheesecake (also glutenfree)- wonderful. Service- friendly, hospitable, warm. Feeling grateful

Alex Trimper

My favourite cidery in the valley! Great food! They do a good job with gluten-free needs.

Alex B

Exceptional Vegan and Gluten free fare. Clearly marked menu indicating options for different dietary needs, and truly delicious offerings across the board. Service was excellent, and the food was delightful - a little oasis of allergen-free goodness.

Dia Orengo

Delicious food, great experience. The fried plantain and Jerk Chicken waffles are amazing! Gluten free/ friendly options too

susie raczkevi

Food is tasty. They do offer gluten-free options, however, they do not substitute items, such as coleslaw, for anything else. A couple of sliced tomatoes would be nice as I am paying for the void on my plate. Atmosphere and area is super gorgeous. Gift shop is awesome.

manisha patel

Fresh, high‑quality seafood; gorgeous waterfront dining; warm, attentive service; gluten‑free options available.

Andrea Aubie

A great place to take the family for ice cream. Amazing dairy free options and the gluten friendly cone was so good! Never thought I'd be able to have one again. My daughter loved the strawberry ice cream and my husband also loved his milkshake, a must go if you're in the area

Fay Rolfe

On vaycay from Vancouver B.C. doing the walk about at Pier21 and stopped into The BG. Beautiful location, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Huge beverage menu!! As celiac, it's challenging to find some safe eats away from home. I ordered the gf option Lobster Roll & fries and oh my lord.... fantastic 😋 Thanks for being aware of dietary restrictions for some 🥳 If I'm ever back out this way, will definitely come back.

Chris Veinot

Excellent place to get good food and also has gluten free options

Belinda Tupper

The Long Table Social Club is a great spot to enjoy an afternoon lunch on the patio, supper or the full meal deal with music and a delicious grilled meal on their Cooking with Fire Fridays! The owner and staff are friendly and accommodating for special dietary needs. I love that I can get gluten free options! The sunsets are second to none which tops off this great outdoor social dining experience. You simply have to visit!

Bethany Dugas

Really unique tea blends, coffee-based drinks, and treats with names inspired by literature. There are a range of options for different dietary needs (vegan, gluten free, etc.)Friendly staff and lovely soft music in the background. The shop is wheelchair accessible and the walls post art from the Truro arts society.

Jaya Fahey

I have celiac disease and have ordered the gluten free pizza numerous times without issue. Really yummy and I especially like the meat lovers, butter chicken and the Punjabi classic!

TJ L

We ordered the GF combination pizza and it was perfect! If somebody who wasn’t celiac tried it you wouldn’t be able to tell that it was GF. 10/10 will be ordering again on our pizza night!

Jeneva Moxon

What a great place! Delicious food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. As a bonus they had lots of gluten free options and seemed knowledgeable about cleaning procedures to minimize cross-contamination. I will definitely come again!

quartaya boudreau

I want to start by saying this restaurant is always so accommodating for my dogs we sat outside and my niece(dog) was able to sit on the couch with us we ordered chicken for her and staff came up and was petting her being so kind bringing water we felt so welcome. They came around with the coziest blankets when it was cold they were so amazing and friendly and kind about my dad who is celiac we got lobster rolls and they were fantastic so fresh the bun was amazing and the sweet potato fries were excellent the views were gorgeous and so comfy on the couches on the patio we loved our waitress she was a doll and so helpful

Felicia Almeida

Visited family who were staying at the Inn and are at the restaurant. Enjoyed the fish and chips it was so delicious and a generous sized portion. My company had a burger, she has celiac disease and they had gluten free bun option with side salad instead of fries(contaminated fryer). Restaurant had a beautiful view and Inn rooms enjoy the water. Beautiful place and staff all around.

Melissa Stephens

Was a super cute place, enjoyed the mussels with a great gluten free bun. Music was wonderful. I will certainly go back again

Bob McCord

We went to Upstreet for dinner. Had one of the platters and it was amazing. The brisket is to die for. I would go back just for the brisket. Also great gluten free options. Was very happy to see that on the menu.

Isabelle Kordonbluee

The cafe is great. This is just the kind of place I like to experience. Everything we ate tasted great. And you also get gluten-free alternatives. The gluten free wrap was great. Because it's so good, the café is always busy. That's something that makes up part of the atmosphere. .... and the Canadians were always in a good mood.

Morgan Miller

The owner and the staff are so genuine and happy to see you, it makes for such a wonderful sippin’ or shoppin’ experience. Such unique gifts, incredibly delicious coffee and gluten free goodies for us Celiacs! If you haven’t been in, do yourself a favour and go! Large patio in the back is perfect for the Summer season!

Tanya Marie

Craving a home-cooked meal? Angie's is my go-to restaurant whenever I'm craving a turkey dinner or hot hamburger dinner. They offer good-sized meals, so you get your money's worth, which is an incentive in today's world. They offer a great variety on their menu, including gluten-free. Their apple crisp is another favorite of mine. Lots of parking, unique octagon building, outside seating, take out, and the service is exceptional; very friendly and kind.

Ruaraidh Butler

Friendly and caring people. For medical reasons, I can't consume gluten. Complicated as I'm vegetarian too. And as much as I love Indian food, I can't have anything too spicy. Our server was wonderfully understanding and concerned to ensure they accommodate my dietary need. I asked for the food to cater to the gentle taste of a 5 year old! And they did just that ... the food was delicious. Although my wife and I live out of Province, we will be back. For folks fortunate enough to live in Halifax and area, ensure to schedule a visit to Twist of India!

Jordan Fridsma

so delish, cheap, food took 15 minutes to come out but it was well worth it. No gluten free buns.

Trish Widmeyer

This place is a MUST for food. My Seafood chowder was AMAZEBALLS!! Gluten-free too. So much seafood in it, filling and our sever Corey was fantastic! When in Ingonish, Main Street Restaurant is a bonus!!!

Sara

One of my favorite dinners during our visit to Halifax. My family stayed in the neighborhood and walked here for dinner one night. Fantastic food, drinks, and atmosphere. I also have some dietary restrictions (gluten-free / dairy-free)and they were so kind and willing to accommodate. Would definitely go back next time I visit the area!

Mary Mackay

Amazing service , dhawal was so kind and saved the day! He made us a yummy pizza last minute for our Christmas Eve party. They also have gluten free pizza !

Moon and the Moon Goddess

The food is reasonable and is absolutely delicious 😋 Loved that they could make things dairy and gluten free for me!!!

Brandi Macumber

Extremely disappointing. My family and I ate here about a month ago and the food was great, we were so excited to come back tonight but unfortunately it was a very different experience this time around. The hostess was super sweet, but our waitress came and didn’t even introduce herself. Just “what would you like for drinks”. I don’t even know that she said hi. It was just abrupt and unwelcoming. We then ordered the arancini as an appetizer for my daughter and it was frozen in the middle. We let our server know and she replaced them. No big deal. They were busy and I get that mistakes happen. We then proceeded to wait 45 minutes for our mains. Which again, they’re busy. I get it and it wouldn’t have bothered me to wait if the food was good. But the food finally came and my daughter’s pasta had very obviously been sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time and my partner picked a large chunk of onion peel out of one of his onion rings. When he asked for more ketchup it didn’t come. But the worst of all was my pizza. I ordered gluten free crust which I understand comes frozen but there’s no way anyone thawed it or even attempted to. It was soggy and uncooked when it arrived. I could tell from first glance that it wasn’t cooked and as a server myself, I’m not sure how our server didn’t send it back the minute she saw it. They clearly slapped on some toppings and threw it in the oven on broil so it at least looked a little brown on the top but the bottom was completely uncooked. I didn’t eat it and I didn’t even bother to complain. No one asked why I didn’t eat it, if it was good.. nothing. Incredibly disappointing. We won’t be back.

Kevin Wanamaker

Food was great and service was too. Gluten free food options if you need GF. They have GF bread available.

Absolutely delicious gluten-free chocolate lavender cake — you can taste the love in every bite! Warm, friendly owners make the experience even sweeter. Can’t wait to try more of their beautiful cakes and food toppings. Highly recommend!

Heather S Machum

I had a great lunch with my friend. I had the Chilli (gluten free). She had the egg and avocado sandwich made gluten free.

Geena M. Grim

They had gluten free options and were able to accommodate someone with celiac! The interior is really cute, our waiter was so sweet, and the food was delicious and a good price. Will be back soon!

Robbie Neil-Young

Good value and great taste. Gluten free is great!

Beverly Shea-Langille

I would rate this eating experience as a -1- out of -100- We ordered several pizzas to be picked up as a treat for our lunch at work. The pizzas we received were the worst pizzas I have ever encountered. Pictures were taken as proof of the inferior quality. We ordered several styles and everyone was overcooked and lacked an acceptable amount of the requested toppings. BEWARE The GLUTEN FREE pizza WAS COMPROMISED. I HAVE CELIAC DISEASE AND I AM NOW SICK. I am extremely careful with my diet. It will be weeks of suffering before my body recovers. I have tried without success to have a private conversation with management to address this issue. My messages have advised them this is an issue with a gluten free pizza. That should have been enough of a red flag for management to understand this is a serious issue. A one or two minute conversation is all the time they would have needed to address this matter. Conversation time has expired. I will do my best to try and protect others from getting sick.

Colin Burgoyne

Neat little restaurant with a beautiful patio on the water. Nice looking menu. Food was very good for others in the party. I would not come here again as a Celiac as the menu clearly states they do not have a separate prep area or protocol to limit cross contamination. Sadly, "gluten friendly" is not a thing.

Jesax Eight

Food is always so good and fresh. Servers are also very nice and the kitchen could accommodate some dishes for a celiac friend.

Maureen Locke

My daughter has Celiac disease so we were in Bedford on business and checked google for gluten free dining. PizzaTown came up and was close to our location so we headed there. To say that it was the best pizza I had ever had would be an understatement. I couldn't believe how many toppings were on that pizza. I had Hawaiian and my daughter had a meat lovers which was also FULL of toppings. The sauce was delicious, the waiter was so friendly and accommodating and pricing was fairly normal. I will definitely recommend this place and will return when in the area again.😋😋Thank you Pizzatown. :)

Dickie-Baxter is the latest gem on the what-to-do-in-The-Valley scene. We've been three times and three times, we were wowed by the beautifully presented and wildly delicious offerings of Chef Wayne and Sous-Chef Tammy. All servers, Nate, Katrina, and owners, Clare and Dom are warm, friendly and attentive. And a nice touch, Chef Wayne comes to the table to see how you're enjoying and to personally thank you for coming in. Food is healthy and yummy and there's plenty for gluten-free and vegetarian diners. January and February are tough times for restaurants, so please do what you can to keep this wonderful new establishment open and serving our community. If you're staying away from restaurants these days, Dickie-Baxter does take out!

I highly recommend a stop if you pass by and are hungry or want a coffee! I really liked how the premises were moved into this old station! The sandwiches are excellent. There is a gluten-free option. I also had a muffin and it was delicious in addition to seeming really homemade and not ultra processed… And of course good coffee too!
