Gluten-free specialty store. I was very satisfied with the taste, which didn't feel like it was gluten-free. The employees are kind and it's a recommended place. Some people can also speak Korean.

My husband and I brought a couple of out of town friends here Wednesday night, as we've always enjoyed the food before. There were SOME problems that night - mistakes with the orders, etc - but I can't praise Agatha enough! She was extremely friendly, apologetic for any issues, very attentive to me (celiac) and made the whole experience an absolute pleasure. The food was delicious, as always. I highly recommend visiting!

Subpar vegan cheeses and gluten free pizza. Good garlic knots. Overrated and costly for low quality food

Food was… overall very salty. Not sure if this is how it is suppose to be but from antipasti to pastas, they were all honestly quite salty. Ingredients may be fresh which we would like to appreciate but they are just too salty to be enjoyed. On the other hand, the service was great with solid gluten free options.

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.

Justin Malhi

Service and atmosphere are great but food is beyond mid and overpriced considering the lack of real flavour, definitely not the most enjoyable sushi, iki is miles better for gluten free folks. But this place was alright.

Trace Anderson

Yum yum yum. All the staff, especially Fuyla and Justine were very knowledgeable. Will definitely be returning 😍😍😍

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 🎉

BEST gluten free bread I’ve ever had! It was a soft, fluffy focaccia and as a celiac, I actually had to double check with the server that it was GF. We stopped here for happy hour before meeting friends for dinner and I am so glad we did! The staff accommodated our large group on the patio with ease, drinks were great and the food was amazing! We will definitely be back!

Best gluten free food in the city! Incredibly accommodating for other dietary restrictions. Varied selection of delicious craft cocktails

Cassie D

Nice food - kind of a more fancy place but really worth a visit. They have a separate fryer for gf fries and servers are aware of contamination, although the risk is still there. Really nice gf molten lava cake for dessert

Jena Peterson

We LOVED the food! Gluten free menu,, handmade blue corn tortillas, and the flavor was fantastic! When we come back to visit Vancouver this is one of the restaurants we will return to. Thank you for the fabulous and high quality food!

Gluten free dutch pancakes. Friendly helpful service. Delicious.

Went here tonight with my mom and we had a lovely time! Our male bartender was fantastic. Gluten free options are available and taste great! The sushi was fantastic. I definitely recommend coming here.

Jag Grewal

Phenomenal pizza, very friendly service, gf has celiac allergy, restaurant takes proper care in minimizing cross contamination, the gluten-free crust was delicous, highly recommend. However, they are very busy. When booking a reservation, it is at least a week beforehand if you are trying to go on Friday/Saturday.

Jenna Francis

This pizza shop has gluten friendly/gluten free options. I was told they it’s not celiac safe options.

Malcolm Fletcher

Best little gem in Vancouver. Seasonal menu with fantastic tastes of Vietnam with attentive staff and exceptional gluten free options!

Overall, a wonderful restaurant! The food is delicious, and so many gluten free options. Most options are dairy free, too. I appreciated this so much I came back 3 times in a week! Be sure to order toum (Lebanese garlic sauce) with your food. It is the best!!!! Only reason I’m docking a star is service related. I ordered for pickup to eat in my hotel room, and two out of three times they failed to include the cutlery, despite me both checking the box for cutlery, and also putting in the comments. Staying in a hotel, you don’t have access to cutlery, so please be sure to pay attention to customers who request it and provide it for them!! Didn’t eat in the restaurant, but it is beautiful inside :)

Really enjoyed this place. Manager was lovely. Very accommodating to gf options but have your wits about you as I see other people have had reactions from here. Does indeed have a separate gf fryer and happy to accommodate different sauce in burger as ‘Special Sauce’ has Worcestershire sauce in it (ie not gf) Thought paying $4 extra for gf bun was a bit steep but overall good place, lovely server and great vibes (especially music)

Loved our experience at Minami - we had a bunch of dietary restrictions and were celebrating our wedding which they thoughtfully provided us with a surprise dairy free/ gluten free dessert 🙏🏼 service was excellent, we loved the aburis, brussel sprouts (try it!) and how fresh the sashimi was!

Great food !! Had gluten free toast avocado and poached egg. Avocado yogurt was amazing too with pumpkin seeds and grated coconut. Catie our server was Awesome!!

Ariana Arrue

We got gluten free w vegan mozzarella, and if you eat this way- you know the ingredients can be hit or Miss at Some places… THIS is your gluten free pizza place!! SO Delicious I would go back in a heartbeat.

Christine Gould

Best gluten free prawn tempura!

I enjoy eating exotic food while in Vancouver and this time I chose Moroccan cuisine at Moltaqa Moroccan Restaurant Mainland street Yaletown. First, I asked a nice staff member what I should order. The staff was kind and gave me some advice. I chose Traditional Chicken Pastilla:Traditional Moroocan pastry with halal chicken and almonds. Sweet and savoury Pairs well with Tokaji, Poully Fuse. Lemon & Olive Halal Chicken Tagine with Saffron:turmeric and ginger saffron notes. Carrots, potatoes. Pairs well with Savignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. For dessert, I chose whatever caught my eye when I entered the restaurant. M’Hancha - Snake Cake and Almond Briwat. Healthy and flavourful and full of aromatic spices. Vegan and gluten-free options. I would love to come back here and try the vegetarian food on my next visit to Vancouver. Highly recommend this place!

Good food and gluten free options. They are very good about no cross contamination.

Those with Gluten allergies beware!! Good food but plenty lost in translation(?) I ordered a Hanoi Pho which was clearly labeled on the menu as GF- Gluten Free. Despite the labeling I did my due diligence and informed the waitress that I could do trace amounts of gluten but not entire components of a meal. She acknowledged the information and brought over the dish. She then proceeds to point out that the vegan “meat” contained gluten. I was confused as the dish was marked gluten free and she had heard me explaining my restrictions. She then said “But you need to tell me before ordering!” I tried explaining to her that I had mentioned my dietary restrictions to her and also that I ordered the dish as it supposedly was gluten free and marked “GF” on the menu (sounds like a no brainer, correct?). She then proceeds to plonk a cup on the table for me to remove the meat /gluten pieces.. I was just rather speechless as to how this was being treated like “it’s just business as usual”. I obliged her (not that I needed to have) and mentioned that a good portion of my dish was now removed so it would be nice to get some tofu to sub in for the meat. She proceeded to the kitchen, loudly announcing this, and myself and the other customers could hear her and the kitchen staff discussing this matter quite audibly. She then brought over the tofu, and, went back to saying that I didn’t tell her that I didn’t want gluten. It took a while to get the check (I asked twice). When she finally brought the check over she once again, and for the third time now, mentioned that I need to tell her that I didn’t want gluten… I was entirely gobsmacked by this time and just wanted to leave. She went to say how her manager was tough on her about this mix up… (though this is not the customer’s problem), almost expecting me to sympathize for something that was clearly not the customers fault. A customer at the neighboring table who witnessed this whole thing (and acknowledged hearing me clearly stating my dietary restrictions) called the waitress over and advised her that their error could severely affect someone with allergies and risk the ability to keep the place open if they were not diligent about giving gluten free food after labeling it as such. I just wanted to get out of there. I shouldn’t have left a tip but I did out of habit. In the end, I basically paid money to get repeatedly blamed for something that clearly was not my fault. Though, I must say that, the waitress seems to have perfected a good smile - which I appreciate but not the fact that she kept going after the customer. It is interesting that one of the first things the waitress said to me and other customers was that we’d get our money back if we didn’t like the food (she just volunteered this information). I ended up paying money and then some. Thank goodness that the food was truly delicious to make up for some of the unsavory experience. So, folks with special diets - please be careful!

No gluten free options here We came thinking there were options due to one comment , but no gluten free bread. Anyway, the rest we ate a avocado toast with eggs, in general, all good if you do not have food restricciones

Nikita Crane

I often grab a quick lunch here, almost everything’s GF except the tortilla wraps. Allergen menu is clearly labelled and I’ve previously asked them to change gloves and take fresh food from the fridge to avoid cross contamination
