Top 5 Gluten-Free Bars to Unwind in Downtown Yonge East, Toronto

It's a sports bar, busy and loud during happy hour. Great food and plenty of options for my partner with celiac disease (who is very concerned about cross contamination and staff are knowledgable)

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!

Amazing. I cannot stress how amazing a time I had with my brother this evening. We requested gluten free and they were transparent and clear on the requirements as they brought the food out. It was delicious and didn’t feel like a compromise. Team made a positive impression. True Omotenashi (Japanese hospitality) Thank you so much everyone.
