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! ❤️🌷🙏
This spot offers a relaxed, open vibe with most tables overlooking the kitchen and street, creating a lively visual experience. The dog-friendly patio adds a welcoming touch, while the staff's exceptional care ensures a safe and comfortable dining experience for gluten-free guests.

As a celiac, this place was easy to share plates (something we don't often get to do with our friends and family). Loved all the GF options on the menu and the variety. Food was so delicious.

My wife ordered gluten free, she was served gluten. She is a celiac. Unacceptable. No apology from the server or manager. The item was also left on the bill. I honestly can’t believe this is how this restaurant operates.

We needed gluten free and we were very happy to know that they have a dedicated gluten free menu and they use a dedicated gluten free fryer for their food. It can be really hard to find a lot of places like this, but this is by far my favourite place to eat in Victoria! I really want to thank everyone there who made it very easy to find safe food for us.
A must-try spot with a diverse menu boasting bold flavors, generous portions, and a unique twist on classic drinks that's sure to impress!

Tucked in on Wharf (with another spot on Yates), Dosa Paragon nails South Indian comfort food with crispy, perfectly fermented dosas, tangy coconut and tomato chutneys, and hearty sambhar . The signature dishes—like the Butter Chicken Masala Dosa and Mysore Masala Dosa—burst with authentic, bold flavours you won’t easily find elsewhere on Vancouver Island .
Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options make it inclusive and appealing to many dietary preferences. Many guests rave about crisp dosas and excellent chutneys: “Bomb.com for dosa lovers!” . One Redditor even called it “the only proper South Indian restaurant on the island” , and another praised the Butter Chicken Dosa as “fantastic!” .
Service and atmosphere can vary—some mention occasional slowdowns at peak times or small portion sizes for chutney —but most reviews highlight friendly staff and a cozy setup.
Highlights
• Exceptional, large, crispy dosas with vibrant fillings
• Delicious chutneys & hearty sambar
• Inclusive menu: vegan/gluten‑free friendly
• Filter coffee and mango lassi round out the meal nicely
Tips
• Go during off-peak hours to avoid waits
• Parking can be tricky near Yates—Wharf location offers easier access
Bottom line: Authentic South Indian cuisine with bold flavours, a welcoming vibe, and a menu that satisfies vegans and gluten‑free diners alike. A must-visit for dosa lovers in Victoria!
This intimate spot offers a cozy vibe with a small seating area and a friendly atmosphere enhanced by great jazz tunes. With a chef who has celiac disease, it provides carefully crafted gluten-free options ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for gluten-sensitive guests.

While it was great they had gluten free waffle options, you only get 1 Belgium waffle and if you’re hungry, it won’t be enough. An order of thick cut bacon on the side helped fill the void. Oat milk for our coffees was nice, and the coffee cup sizes are kind of small given the $5 charge. Overall, it was decent - it was a breakfast start to a busy morning - but we’d likely go elsewhere for more value and larger portions.
This lively spot offers a warm, personal touch with a friendly local family atmosphere. Its thoughtful accommodations for gluten-free diners make it a standout choice for those seeking a welcoming and safe dining environment with plenty of gluten-free options.
This casual spot offers a cozy atmosphere with picnic tables and a lovely patio overlooking the harbour, perfect for enjoying a relaxed meal. The service is friendly and knowledgeable about celiac disease, ensuring a safe and pleasant dining experience for gluten-free guests.

I explicitly asked for gluten free noodles due to an allergy, the cashier misunderstood and made gluten noodles. Spoke to owner and they weren’t willing to remake or refund :(
