Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Ontario

Christian Griggs-Drane

Julia made this an incredible experience! I am so grateful for Julia and The Mule, as a celiac and anaphylactic to Peanuts and Tree Nuts, my time finding restaurants that I feel truly safe is rare. This was the first place in Canada where I felt that safety to just explore the menu, relax, and enjoy. Everyone that came to our table was kind, informed, and awesome! Also the food IS AMAZING! Best tacos I’ve had in Ontario. Thank you again to Julia and the team for making a memorable meal and amazing experience. Will be coming back to Hamilton just for The Mule!

As a celiac, I was almost glutened here. When I asked a server if the beer was gluten free, I was told everything on the menu was. But when my lager arrived, the bottle listed barley. I double checked with another server, who confirmed it wasn’t gluten free, apologized, and kindly brought me a quinoa-based beer instead (which was good, just a little warm). I don’t want to be too harsh. Overall, the food was great, and it’s such a gift to have a spot where I can enjoy a tres leches cake without fear. But this experience is a good reminder to always double check, even in places that seem safe. It also highlights how important it is for all staff to be fully trained on gluten and allergens.

Gluten friendly food and the staff are very helpful with making the best gf choices! Evelyn was an awesome server! Will come back!

! Celiac disease friendly ! So many options/substitutions for celiacs. My husband was able to enjoy a breakfast sandwich with home fries... that looked and tasted great! The pricing was fair and affordable which was also a plus. This will be our go to spot when visiting Toronto.

My wife has been wanting to try this place for a little while now! It was worth the wait! She found out about it on Tic Toc! We had an awesome meal with all the dips! This place is 100% gluten free. My wife is just figuring out about gluten and she had a complete worry free dinner!! We had the Dip Dip Dip hooray and we tried 4 different kinds of tacos! Well priced, amazing service and the food is absolutely amazing! 10/10!!

Anne Carpenter

Good food and gluten free menu on Mondays.

Nicole Smith

Wow! I was visiting from the states for a concert that got cancelled but I guess that was a blessing in disguise as that gave us a chance to stop here to eat. The owner/server was friendly and accommodating. The food was fantastic! I have celiac so I was absolutely drawn here for the GF options. They asked about dietary restrictions up front and I felt comfortable and safe. The food was delicious and my non GF fiancé loved it as well. Dedicated fryers are hard to come by (at least back home) so I took advantage of having one of my old favorites, poutine! It was perfectly layered so each bite was tasty, not like a lot of places that will just dump the gravy and cheese on top leaving you with a plate of dry fries underneath. It was also my first crab cake in years, and it really took me back to the Lexington Market in Baltimore when I was younger (it was actually better). The margarita hit the spot and the homemade hot sauce was super tasty. I will 100% be stopping back next time in I’m Toronto, thank you so much!!!

We love this restaurant because it’s 100% Gluten Free!

Trevor Richardson

seems like this place would suck during the school year, but was quite pleasant. had a fancy deglutenized beer which was fantastic

Sara & Liz

100 % Gluten free! So many delicious taco options!

Food was great, my wife suffers from celiac disease and I can safely say after over 24h past the meal that this place took excellent care of her dish! Fantastic service and a nice cozy atmosphere, and absolutely knowledgeable about cross-contamination with gluten. Did not think a place like this existed! Thanks guys! 10/10 recommend stopping here if you’re in Sarnia!

Sandra M

I came in on April 4th, around 8pm, I was an hour late for my reservation, i was having major anxiety and felt like an ass for being so late. Your staff were unbelievably kind and helpful. The staff here were the absolutely nicest I have ever encountered. I was really struggling that day and everyone helped turn my day around (even though I know I was acting weird). I really needed a night out and I am really thankful to everyone. Also having a seperate gluten free menu is amazing!

Eric Shaw

Gluten restriction or not, this place did not disappoint with food or drinks! Service was also some of the best. Wish I could remember our server's name because he was awesome and knowledgeable of the menu.

Stephanie

I am embarrassingly obsessed with the sriracha pineapple cauliflower wings here. They’re gluten-free, dairy-free, sweet, spicy, crispy, and served on a bed of crunchy kale. It’s technically an appetizer it’s honestly a full meal lol. The portion is huge and so so good. Whenever I’m hungry and don’t know what I want, my boyfriend knows to just pick these up for me and I’ll be a happy girl. We’re moving out of the city soon, so they shared the recipe for the wings and the sauce with me for when I’m craving it - 10/10 staff. Whether you're plant-based or not, get them.

Anthony Mancini

The food was very good. The fish is cooked in a cider batter that is gluten free. Many other items on the menu that are gluten free. I would rate the wings as on the higher quality end comparatively. Service was good. The waitress was attentive and knowledgeable on the menu. We were seated promptly without reservations. I would try a different dessert next time. The one pictured wasn't bad but not my taste. I would recommend this location.

Maureen Carter-Whitney

Delicious multi-course lunch with creative and tasty food. Loved the Roma salad, calamari and salmon entree - all perfectly prepared. The gluten-free pizza was excellent - one of the best I’ve tried! Lovely space and warm service.

Laureano Ottonello Tanno

Excellent Latino restaurant with gluten-free options. Thank you, we will definitely come back!

Ashley Kennedy

10/10. The fish tacos are my #1 choice, always. Such a great experience at the Burlington location, our server was so attentive and did a remarkable job accommodating our daughters gluten allergy.

Jennifer Iacono

Amazing lamb!!! Great gluten-free wraps, too!

Jenna

Always our go-to restaurant in KW for bringing friends/family visiting the area. Consistent, well-priced, and something on the menu for everyone. Also very gluten friendly with a large plant-based menu as well.

Fiona Clydesdale

Had a really lovely meal here sharing GF pasta and GF pizza. Amazing pizza base! Servers very aware and aware of CC.

Crystal Larocque

Perfect place for a first date, a good catch up with friends, and I’ve even had a couple of business meetings at this location. The restaurant is massive. I’ve had wings at the bar, patio drinks, and full parties in the back corner. The fact that there are so many options, including vegetarian and gluten-free is amazing. There’s a discount card to collect points, you can take beers to go home with you. There’s even a root beer for kids to enjoy as well. I can’t say enough good things about beer town. It’s the place that everyone enjoys. Brunch is a must have!!

Madison Gobeil

Came to this restaurant for a team lunch before our game. I ordered a gluten free sandwich, had 2 bites of it, and thought to myself “this is too good to be gluten free bread”. Sure enough, after consulting with the server, they had incorrectly placed my order. Make no mistake, they were quick to get me set up with a new, gluten free sandwich. I was very impressed with the way their entire staff handled the situation and wouldn’t hesitate to come back to this restaurant in the future.

We parked down the street in a parking lot that only accepted coins. $2/hr. (No cards accepted only coins) When you first step foot in the door it's like being punched in the nose by an old moldy cloth. 🤢 Needless to say, we stuck around because we heard that that pop punk band 'Accident Prone' from the early 2000s has been seen there. 🤘 The staff are the cool kids you jammed with in school. Friendly enough and didn't seem to mind catering to our dietary restrictions of dairy-free and gluten-free. They were very accommodating. If you are looking for Root Beer here, you won't find it. It's only Pepsi products (and even though Pepsi makes root beer, they didn't have it lol!) The BEST thing about this visit.... APORKALYPSE NOW BURGER AND SWEET POTATO FRIES!!!!! I still dream of this pork on pork product. There is nothing as good as this. The burger patty is delicious, it's topped with regular bacon that was the perfect crisp and if that wasn't enough it was topped with chunky double smoked bacon (which I hope to be buried with one day). I swapped my provolone for vegan cheese (for those with broken bellies like me) And, if that wasn't enough.... they slather this little piggy in horseradish mayo!! Like what the funk?!? Who thinks of such a glorious burger lube?!? Bottle that and sell it, you'd make a killing!! I swapped the standard fries for sweet potato fries that came with a tasty dip and it was a match made on the farm! I am STOKED that we stayed, that burger was like nothing I have ever eaten before. Thank you to whoever created it! It was simply gorgeous. I hope to be back someday to enjoy that morsel once more!

Erica M

I love Beertown. Not just because they satisfy my foodie cravings for meat, nutrition and flavour…but also because they cater to the dairy and gluten-free side of me with an ENTIRE MENU OF GOODNESS.

Dave Smith

Dave's Genuine is comfort food—pure and simple—especially if you grew up eating deli sandwiches, or Kosher favorites like matzoh ball soup. The turkey club is probably my favorite sandwich of all time, and Dave's Genuine makes a killer one. Best of all, it can be made gluten-free—safe for someone who has Celiac disease, like me. In fact, Dave's Genuine makes a real effort to accommodate gluten allergies because the owner's daughter also has Celiac, so he understands the ins and outs of cross contamination. In my most recent order, Dave's even sent me a free batch of fries with a kind note on it, promising they're prepared separately and fried in their own GF fryer. After trying these fries for the first time—crispy and light, by the way—I knew I needed to write this review. The customer service here is truly impeccable, and so is the quality of the food. Pro-tip: Try the smoked meat, it's insanely good.

Manon Hachey

Upon arriving, the hostess was great. Our server, Taylar, is a gem! Very knowledgeable, polite, and very pleasant. I wasn’t sure what to order and she pointed out some great items from the gluten free menu. I was very pleased to see such a great variety. She was very attentive to our needs and made sure she checked in at appropriate times. We always love going to GT’s. The food, drinks, music, and above all, the staff are great.

Andrew Keenan

The ceci alla zozzona is an absolute must! A mix of all the great Roman pastas but its chickpeas and gluten free? This is a game changer!

Clementine Beaud

The gluten-free eggs Benedict was okay, but nothing special. The service was really slow, and the server wasn't very clear about what contained gluten and what didn't, but luckily her colleague was.

j migneault

Wow, very good, excellent, what can I say about the service, our waitress, she served us in French, gluten-free menu, congratulations to all the staff

Marvin Williams

This place was lovely and had excellent service! Many tasty gluten free options for my celiac girlfriend :) Our favourite was the duck breast!

Jasmeet Sachdeva

Ordered a couple of gluten free pizza. The taste wasnt great. The pizza base wasnt fresh and was very hard.

Sebastian Montoya

Beautiful decorations, excellent food and service for breakfast! Good options for celiac people as well. Highlights: - Shakshuka! - french press coffee (which the waitress was kind enough to brew more of so we could take some on our walk)! - comfortable and nice decorations - reasonable price for the quality of food. We would happily eat here again!

Melissa-Ann Ledo

Best burgers in town! Amazing with kiddos and gluten free allergy!

Karyn Tindall

Love this place. Gluten free pizza Sofia was outstanding

shaun marq

Absolutely love eating here, the vibe is amazing and the staff are top tier! The food and atmosphere are so unique and as a Gluten Free Vegan who doesn't drink, trust me when I say this is a haven. I have been a few times so I have tried most of the food. Alot of the menu is already edible for me as is, but the majority of the menu can be accommodated to a vegan and/or gluten free diet which is amazing. The mocktails are equally fantastic. Watching the chefs at work in the open kitchen is the best, and the Management team and Madison in Events are always the most generous and accommodating. If you are so lucky to have service from Joseph, you will leave a very happy and full man! Can't wait to be back in the summer for Jungle Brunch!

heather mcfadden

We dine at Il Fornello Ajax often. Food is consistently delicious. Service is always amazing as are the staff. So glad this restaurant is located in our home city. Great place to eat. Gluten free and vegan options too if you have friends or family with any dietary restrictions. Can book reservations online on TBDINE or Can order for pickup or delivery as well Always a great experience here.

Singh Family

I came in looking for gluten free and vegetarian options. While the options are slightly limited, the food was AMAZING. Mile the server was so kind to customize our order so that I had a delicious meal. He knew exactly when to check in on us and when to give us some time to enjoy our food. It was such a beautiful experience. The cocktails were also amazing! The options and the taste made me feel like I was in Mexico again.

Luisa Kuarsingh

The Keg Heartland never disappoints! The restaurant is large, accessible, has a substantial bar, plenty of seating options and relaxed but sophisticated atmosphere. The customer service is exceptional, consistently friendly, attentive and thorough. Their portions are generous, and the food is always fresh, appetizing and prepared to perfection. They offer a comprehensive menu with gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options, and cater to dietary restrictions such as reduced salt. With regard to food and drinks, everything on the menu is delicious but my favourites include the mouth watering steaks, garlic mashed potatoes, caesar salad, lobster bisque, crab cakes, cheesecake, Billy Miner Pie and red sangria. We have been coming here for years and are always incredibly satisfied with the service, food and overall dining experience, making it a family favourite for celebrations and dinners out. Highly recommend it!

K Rach

GLUTEN FREE FRYER (CELIAC SAFE) 10/10 WINGS Maddie D was PHENOMENAL! She was so knowledgable & double checked where unsure - Thank you Maddie for being so patient with me! Will definitely be back every Tuesday for wing night!

Lisa Puersten

This place has a fabulous vibe right from the get go! Decor is rustic & eclectic, & there's much to catch your eye....like trees! The menu has pasta (no gf) & pizza (gf/vegan options), accompanied by lots of drink selections. We ordered 1 gluten free pizza, 1 gluten/dairy free pizza, & one regular pizza. I have a load of allergies & the server - Ceci - was very accommodating & knowledgeable about what the kitchen could do for me. We were super impressed! All the pizzas were amazing (like the best gf pizza in the city imho) & my husband polished off the whole regular pizza himself it was so good! We can't say enough about Ceci (& Mark) as they really took good care of us! We highly recommend Bar Poet, especially for the pizza & beer special!! Can't wait to go again! PS - we were able to get a photo with no one in it bc we came in right at open on a mega snowy Monday!

Katie Miller

Jenn was GREAT! Answered my questions regarding gluten free food items for me. She was fast, attentive, and just a cool person. Thanks Jenn!

Katy Phillips

Delicious meal! Friendly and helpful staff. Menu was clearly marked on options that are gluten free.

Mary Gold

Delicious! Very gluten-free friendly -the staff take cross contamination seriously. It’s a great place for family gatherings. A must try is the best coffee ever!

Christina Ronge

Great place food was delicious. Being gluten intolerant was glad they had options. A bit pricey but was a great night out

Lisa W

What a great evening celebrating my birthday with friends. Our server "J" was the best and always made sure everything was on point. I had the Dragon Bowl (AWESOME). J surprised us with a special "happy birthday" gluten-free brownie with ice cream. Such a great ending to a perfect evening!!!

Lena Jang

You won’t be disappointed!! My daughter recently got diagnosed with celiac disease so it is extremely important for us to have everything gluten free for her. As she’s only 5, her options were very limited in terms of the menu.. (she’s a picky eater as well) I called a few days before and explained our situation and the kitchen manager assured that they will accommodate for us by having us bring in GF hamburger bun for her. They assured us that her food won’t be cross-contaminated! Her fries were baked separately as well! I was very grateful with the whole staff who were above and beyond with their service! Not to mention excellent food!! Our server was amazing as well!! Thanks again for everything❤️

C Colvin

The food was delicious & the service was fantastic! Every member of the staff was knowledgeable, helpful & very focused on customer service. I really appreciated the special efforts put in to make my meal safe because I am celiac. It was very busy & noise made it harder to hear conversation at our table - but that is hard to avoid at a popular restaurant.

Shannon Cole

Incredible. Celebrated my son’s birthday here and I am gluten and dairy free. The server’s attention to detail was immaculate making my son feel special and the chef personally served my meal confirming gluten and dairy free specifications. So grateful!

Julianna Louis

My first visit to Chop Steakhouse was an excellent experience! From the moment we were seated, our server Francesca made us feel so welcome. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive—especially helpful since it was our first time dining there. One thing that really stood out was how well they handled allergies. I have celiac disease, and both my husband and I have specific dietary needs. The staff took everything seriously and made sure our meals were safe without making it feel like an inconvenience. The portion sizes were generous, and everything we ordered was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Great atmosphere, amazing service, and a safe, delicious meal—we’ll definitely be back!
