Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Toronto

Gurleen Pandher

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.

! 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.

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.

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.

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!

Jennifer Iacono

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

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'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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Shiroman Deen Anton

JUST WOW! Friendly and respectful staff. Relaxing and clean environment. FOOD IS OF HIGH QUALITY. gluten free options available. Appetizers are huge!! Great menu for the entire family.

Michaela Storoschuk

Had a work night dinner with some out of country guests and oh my goodness did this restaurant went above and beyond. Attentive service, fully could accommodate the menu for each dietary allergy (dairy and gluten), and had an amazing variety of options from land sea and farm. A bit of a spend but it was worth it for a lovely night out, and the ambiance was divine.

Tara Sotoudeh

Great food and service. Had the prime rib, mushroom Neptune, Billy miner pie, lobster and steak, and crème brûlée, all of which were amazing. Lots of marked options for gluten free. Only thing that wasn’t great were the bacon wrapped scallop. Sara was extremely attentive and gave us great service. 10/10

We enjoyed the fixed dinner menu which had great choices and was a very fair price! The risotto was our favourite (my boyfriend had the tagliatelle salsiccia which was well done just not "AMAZING!"). The orange polenta cake was gorgeous and on a vegetarian & gluten free diet I still had so many choices. Cocktails were beautiful and unique also. We will be back!

michael polis

Went with a my girlfriend and a few friends, we found the food very tasty. We had the meat platter and a few other things my Ethiopian friend suggested. Pro tip: order the injera gluten free. Will be back for the food and to experience the coffee ceremony!

Ema Hazra

They were able to make gluten-free modifications to everything I ordered which was much appreciated.

Erika Geremia

AMAZING food. They also pay their waiters a fair wage so no tipping! Celiac safe.

Kat O'Dea

Stellar food and lots of gluten free options as well! apps, meal, and dessert were all delicious.

Marko Andjelkovic

enjoyed the gluten free pizza and afagatto

Five Stars - Exceptional Service & Food! We had such a great experience at Earls last night, and I wanted to give a special shoutout to our server, Gio. You just don’t see that level of attentive service anymore - he checked in regularly, remembered our allergies and preferences, and even took care of small details like clearing plates and wrappers right away. It genuinely made us feel looked after and welcome. The food, as always, was incredible. The vegan and gluten-free kale mushroom pizza is hands-down my favourite vegan pizza in Toronto. It’s so creamy and flavourful that you’ll second guess whether it’s really vegan (in the best way possible). We also tried the calamari, which is cut thick and packed with flavour - definitely a standout. And the drinks? Amazing. We’ve tried five different cocktails and margaritas over our visits, and every one has been a hit. Their sangria is especially impressive - no sugary pop or juice filler here, just wine, fruit, and a kick of liquor. Perfectly balanced. Earls continues to be one of our favourite places to eat in the city, not just for the food but for the consistently high standards of service. Highly recommend!

I am addicted to their falafel in a pita. It's perfection. Note they also have a gluten free wrap that my wife loves.

Carolyn A

Food was outstanding. I am gluten free (not celiac), shared with friends, but I still found enough to satisfy me and eat around what I couldn't. Service was very attentive and friendly. Didnt hurt that our server looked like Paul Rudd :) honestly, the atmosphere is great. We went on a friday night and it was packed, so i do feel like our conversations were overlapping with other tables. But thats our fault for trying to catch up at a super busy restaurant on a friday!

Hot House Restaurant in the St.Lawrence Market stands out as one of Toronto's most popular dining spots, renowned for its exceptional food, vibrant and spacious ambiance, and impeccable service. The menu is a delightful mix of international flavors, featuring gourmet pizzas, succulent steaks, pasta dishes, seasonal salads, and decadent desserts. The extensive vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options cater to diverse dietary needs, making it a top choice for all diners. The Frutti Di Mare, Sunday brunch buffet, and expertly crafted ribs are notable recomendations. My favourite as a vegetarian is their Winterlicous menu of imaginative dishes as pictured from the last one, of Tuscany Farro Soup, Vegetable Kebabs and Cardamom Olive Cake. I'm looking forward to the next. The ambiance is equally impressive, with spacious, colorfully decorated interiors and a sunlit 150-seat patio perfect for enjoying fine Italian wines or Canadian craft beers. Whether it’s a heatwave or a chilly evening, the restaurant provides a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Attentive and friedly staff go the extra mile to accommodate guests, including handling dietary restrictions with care. Located in the heart of Toronto at 35 Church Street at Front, Hot House is steps away from local landmarks like St. Lawrence Market. With street and nearby parking available, it’s a convenient and memorable spot for any occasion, which I recommend.

I went to CRAFT Beer last week and had an amazing experience! Our server, Gabby, was absolutely fantastic—attentive, friendly, and super knowledgeable about the menu. I’m gluten-free, and she took the time to go through the menu carefully, making sure I had safe and delicious options. Her recommendations were spot-on, and I felt completely at ease. The atmosphere was awesome, and the food and drinks were top-notch. Definitely coming back soon!

Disappointed and Frustrated – Wouldn’t Recommend I don’t usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience from June 9th. I called ahead to specifically ask if they offered gluten-free ramen, and was told they had a couple of options available. Based on that, we decided to dine in. However, after placing our order, the server came back to inform us they were actually out of gluten-free noodles. This level of miscommunication and negligence is extremely disappointing, especially for someone with dietary restrictions. I was then told to choose something else from the menu, and ended up ordering the Donburi, which they offered at a 20% discount. Unfortunately, the Donburi was not enjoyable at all—I took just two bites and couldn’t bring myself to eat the rest. To make matters worse, the server was not friendly or accommodating, which only added to the overall poor experience. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Between the lack of care for dietary needs, underwhelming food, and unwelcoming service, it’s just not worth your time or money.

Sam

The best Thai food around. My sister comes from out of town and specifically asks that we go here. The green curry is chefs kiss. If you are celiac like myself, be sure to ask how the kitchen can help, and they will. The tofu is not GF, but they will remove it from dishes at request!

We had an amazing time celebrating a 40th birthday here. First time diners, based on a recommendation from a friend, and we were not disappointed. The dining space is beautiful, and despite being busy, it was easy to converse with our dining companions. The cocktails offered on the regular menu and a specials menu, were also amazing and highly recommended! The food was phenomenal to say the least. Every option on the Pitmaster’s platter was flavourful and delicious. The service staff were knowledgeable about a noted gluten allergy - they advised which sauces were not gluten free, served the gluten containing fried chicken option from the Pitmaster’s platter separately, and offered an alternative side salad to fries (which are cooked in a shared fryer). We were grateful for their expertise which contributed to another safe and delicious dining experience. We will definitely dine here again!

Damaris Sawatzky

Celiac safe! Such a cozy environment with amazing artwork on the walls and really wool bar wall. The wait staff explained clearly their process of how they are careful about cross-contamination when it comes to gluten. I started with their guacamole and cornchips, which was so tasty. Then came the brazed ribs with corn tortillas to create your own tacos. Chefs kiss. It was amazing.

Zach Bishop

Delicious food, excellent service, and a beautiful restaurant! The pizza is the closest I've had to the flavors of Naples, and they even offer gluten-free options. I brought the whole family, and we all had a fantastic time!

Zaina

If you're looking for a place with quality food and amazing staff look no further. Our server was a gem and made sure that we knew all of our options in detail. He even brought out gluten free crackers for me without me asking. I've never had someone do that but it's the little details like that which set this restaurant apart. I ordered a gluten free pasta and my boyfriend got a pizza. Both were delicious! Their chocolate mousse is the perfect balance of decadent and light. This was my first time dining here but I will definitely be back!

Kim Stafford

The pizza is making me write this review. Wow. I had the vegan gluten free pizza and they nailed it. From the dough to the cheese, I was impressed. They have a wood burning oven also so you know it's legit. Peter/Dieter was our server and was super friendly and helpful with our group. We had a great time at Victory and I'll definitely be coming back for this pizza. Thank you for having a delicious option!

I recently visited The Keg on Airport Road, Mississauga, near the airport, and it was quite an experience. The ambiance was lovely, and the location was easy to get to with ample parking at the back. We were greeted pleasantly at the door, which set the tone for the evening. While waiting for our table, there was plenty of space to stand around comfortably, and the cucumber water available was a nice touch. Although I wasn’t initially pleased with the area we were to be seated, the staff kindly prepared a booth for us without any fuss, which I appreciated. As for the food, I decided to try the new menu item: duck. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. The outside was crispy, but the inside was dry. The server was understanding and had it removed from the bill, but the accompanying sauce didn’t help either. The lobster tail was also overcooked and too salty, so I don’t plan to order it again. On a positive note, the steak was excellent, which is what The Keg is known for. Pair it with the twice-baked potato for a great meal. The garlic Mashed potatoes was also very good. The wings to start was very good. If you can handle a little spice go for it. The bathrooms could use some upgrades, , and touchless faucets would be a good improvement. Despite some drawbacks, I enjoyed the ambiance and overall vibes. They offer a lot of gluten-free options for main courses, and I’d definitely return for another dining experience.

Syd P

Delicious food, with gluten free options available. We sat on the heated patio with a group of 5. The service was great but after sitting there for a while it was cold if you weren't sitting under/right beside the heater. The flour less chocolate cake was very delightful and overall a nice place to have dinner with friends. PARKING WAS A HASTLE. We went around 7:15 and there was nowhere to park I drove around for 15 minutes before finding street parking that was a decent walk away.

Chris was awesome about my gluten allergy and came to the table to ensure me of safe choices and options. Happy hour in the bar was excellent! Service and ambiance stellar! The wings were quite spicy 🌶️ the scallops and Brussels sprouts delicious. Last week we enjoyed filet minion in the dining room and all was equally great. 😊
