Excellent gluten free chicken sandwich! 10/10 recommendation

Madison Phillips

Truly incredible selection of gluten free foods. Flavourful, fresh and nourishing. Really love this place and not having to worry when ordering anything :)

James H

Thank you SO MUCH for all the gluten free options. Amazing service. Place could do a masterclass on poached eggs (my grandmother would have been very impressed)

Leisel Quinton

❤️so many GF options. Knowledgeable, friendly staff.

Louise

Just had an amazing experience at Selia Bar and had to share! The entire place is 100% gluten free, which was such a relief — no need to worry about cross-contamination at all. It’s so refreshing to be able to choose anything from the menu without second-guessing or stressing. There were so many delicious options to pick from, and everything we tried was fantastic. Our server, Erick, was absolutely wonderful — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even better with his thoughtful service. If you’re looking for a safe and genuinely enjoyable place to eat out, I highly recommend Selia Bar. I left feeling full, happy, and totally at ease.

Lior Seidel

Great GF options on a safe kitchen

Lex Oglestone

The best chicken strips literally ever

Jen W.

The food is incredible! The chicken crack and cauliflower is the best combination, popcorn chicken and fried cauliflower. If you’re gluten free and haven’t been here, you need to go. I come here with people who can eat gluten all the time and they also love it.

Marc Quinn

Absolutely amazing food, everything is fresh. Highly recommend to anyone with celiac. And if you're an egg person, these are the freshest eggs I've had in a very long time.

Cassandra Orr

Gluten free Chinese food!

Aaron Kelemen

Have been here a couple of times. It’s very good and great for celiac friendly gluten-free options!

yuki holmes

amazing staff, owner has celiac so you can trust him and workers abt cross contamination

PJ Swan

We were celebrating an 80th birthday. Jeremy was very accommodating with our reservation and we were able to bring in a gluten free cupcake for the bday girl. There was only 3 of us and all our meals were absolutely delicious. However, our server Cailie was extremely inattentive. We had trouble to get just a water. She never offered any of us another wine, tea/coffee or dessert - even when she brought out the single cupcake we had brought in. Upselling is somewhat expected as a customer, but we certainly didn’t have to worry about that! Anyway, I would go again because it wasn’t my first time and I know the food is great and service is usually awesome as well. Tonight was just a big disappointment being I picked it myself for this special event.

Jessica Shifrin

A staple every time I go to Calgary. As a celiac I feel so safe here, staff always take time to make sure I understand what I can/cannot eat. I would say about 80 percent of the menu can be made gluten free including the fried chicken. It’s great to be able to share with friends and not sacrifice taste. Could not recommend more.

Deepshikha Brar

My son took me for late Mother's Day dinner. Amazing vibe and so flavorful food. Service is top-notch. Being a celiac, I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Larisa McIntyre

Best gluten free and vegan sushi, they are very fast and accommodating. Highly recommend wholelifego it’s amazing! Thank you WholeLifeGo!

Christina Bialik

Great food, great vibes, and best celiac friendly breakfast in town! (Also good for non-celiacs too)

Megan K

Went to this place for brunch for the first time and had 3 amazing things to note. 1) the coconut chai was to die for and I would return just for that drink alone. 2) the vegan eggs Benedict on falafel was so perfectly savoury and delicious, as someone eating vegan and gluten free, I haven’t had something that covers my dietary restrictions taste so good in a long time. 3) the portion sizes!!! The quesadilla my family had was enormous, the side salads were huge! Amazing to have leftovers for later and even though we ate a lot, we didn’t feel gross after (which we often do with other places) because the ingredients were so clean. The staff were so kind and the restaurant gives cute earthy vibes. Hands down will be going back! (Wish we got photos to share!)

Patrick Baranski

Our CSSC team enjoys coming to the brewhouse to socialize and have some grub after/before our games! The atmosphere is unmatched and the food specials are great! Love the wings and they have loads of options for those who need to avoid the Gluten - be sure to speak to the staff and they will always give great recommendations. Wing nights are a hit! I hear their monthly steak nights are really good, I have yet to go a try it out!

Roxanne Selkirk

Great little place. Warm, bright, and inviting. Gluten free options - tater tots are gf but have fryer cross contamination, so breakfast sides you can sub gf bread and have a side salad, fruit, tomatoes etc. Nice vegetarian options too!

P LP

Great food! Been here twice now & I really enjoy it. Great gluten free options too! If you’re hungry & enjoy good bbq this is the place!

H S

Picked up a gluten free lunch today, $30 for 1 meal is kinda ridiculous. I got pasta with the burger and it was an added $8 up charge to get a small portion of gross pasta. The pasta was horrible, very clearly reheated (not well) and definitely a day or 2 old. I could have made Kraft dinner that tasted better than their barely reheated pasta. I don’t know if they changed chefs but their pasta used to be amazing. Very disappointing

Christine D

Wonderful staff. Nice atmosphere. Im a celiac and have other allergies. Our waitress was very knowledgeable on the menu and that most items are Gluten Free. This was our first time visiting and we will definitely be the food. The guacamole is amazing!!!!

Julie Harrison

We love coming here. They are celiac friendly as well!!!!

John Smith

I'm extremely pleased by the staff here. I had a food allergy I made my server aware of at the start. When they brought my meal, I had about .2 seconds to stare at it before another server swooped in and stole it back stating "Sorry this one isn't gluten free", and the manager appeared from the other side with the correct order. The whole switch out happened in less than 10 seconds. On top of that, there was no discernable difference to the appearance of the meals, to my eye anyways, so I'm even more impressed by how quick they noticed the wrong one had been presented first. Finally- it was Valentine's, and they were absolutely brutally packed and still managed to do all this with a smile. The food was great but it could have been awful at that point (as so many gluten free substitutions are anyways) and I still would have been amazed.

Veronica Penny

My favourite place to get breakfast in Calgary! Gluten free options are appreciated. Coffee is really good too.

Danielle Crawford

I stopped in for a quick lunch during a business trip. It’s always hard to find great vegan cuisine when I am traveling for work. This location was amazing, their menu had so many great vegan options to choose from along with great substitutions for gluten-free, soy free, etc. I went with the lemongrass, tofu, beet salad, and I asked to add some capers to it. The server was extremely friendly and had no problem accommodating my request. It was absolutely delicious. I wouldn’t change a single thing about it. I will gladly be back when I am back in the area. Ambience was great with a fun vibe. Very trendy. Even the bathroom was a lot of fun some cool wallpaper and fun color scheme.

Kevin Clark

Great menu, prompt service and good food. Been here many times, always been excellent. Good menu for Celiacs as well (friend is one)

Barbara Mattson

Food was good and served in big portions, but not really spectacular. The bacon was very salty and sweet at the same time. One vegan option available - vegan hash. Very good selection of vegetarian and gluten free meals. Very noisy atmosphere, not a place where you're planning to have any discussion. Ketchup comes is small plastic packets, more suited for a fast food place. Staff very friendly, courteous and helpful.

Alycia Herlein

Staff were knowledgeable about their food and what I could have that was gluten free. Checked in with us a lot of and asked if we had any special requests. Definitely work coming.

Barb I

Excellent gluten free pizza!

Carol Podwinski

We absolutely can rely on perfect service and yummy food. We are gluten free and they have lots of options for us.

Chase Price

Came here for brunch with the wife and as two people with serious allergies(gluten and dairy )dinning out can be very hard. But our server jade was so accommodating and recommended great food and drinks that we loved. The food and drinks came out very quick and were tasty. Very professional and friendly environment. Good cooks but props to our server. We will be coming back as she made our experience worth the drive to this location

Richard Marchand

Excellent gluten free menu great food

brooke smith

My regular for getting chai lattes and eggs Benny, I’m unfortunately a gluten unfriendly human but this bunch spot has lots of gluten free options so I don’t spend my entire afternoon on the loo! Staff are lovely, wish they had live music 😘

Sandra Perron

Very tasty! I am a celiac and I had a little bit of a stomach ache after. Hence the 4 stars.

Jolynne Zanini

Birthday dinner. All guests were fully accommodated including celiac and lactose intolerance. Great skills by our chef (Remz)!!

Leah Jack

Very knowledgeable about gluten free / celiac needs. Separate gluten free menu and fryer! Staff is VERY friendly and the restaurant feels quite homey and welcoming. For sure a repeat go to restaurant!

Carol Flegg

I would NOT recommend this place. Had a gluten free waffle and it was cold and so dry I asked for a second tablespoon of syrup to choke it down. We got charged an extra 2 dollars for the tablespoon of syrup. Grossly overpriced for really second rate food. Next time will go local and Canadian. Would not even give one star! 🇨🇦

C. Hoo

I love that they have gluten-free options (jumbo waffles and more!). Breakfast is always good. Eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly, and having gf waffles was a huge treat. Service was prompt and she was very friendly.

Sharon Hunt

My first time and loved everything about it! Atmosphere is very nice, service is great, gluten free baked goods are delicious and great coffee! It will be my new go to place! ❤️

Samantha

I was extremely impressed with our waitress' care about my mom's gluten allergy. She even adjusted some items that weren't listed as GF to be so. The hostess had "no clue" about the gluten free options or the what was on the menu at all, but our waitress was so amazing. We will be back knowing I can eat here safely and be listened too.

Natasha Scheller

Loved every bite of my Gluten-free burger with sweet potato fries.

Matt McQueen

Unbelievably good bbq! This platter had brisket, rib ends, chicken, sausage, and side ribs, along with fries, coleslaw, and cornbread. So many gluten free options too! Everything on this platter is gluten free, even the gravy and the cornbread!

Shelby Dewhirst

Such an awesome bar, restaurant, and place for live shows! The Pal offers the best in alt vibes and often has performances both up and downstairs. The patio is massive and you can't beat the eats! Celiac friends rejoice, most of the menu (including sides) is, or can be made, GF.

Josh

Food was great. We have a gluten intolerance. Kiede was great at helping us find alternatives!

James Anderson

Looking for chicken that slaps you in the face and says “DAMN, that’s a good sandwich”? Look no more. Most of this restaurant is gluten free too. Delicious. Tasty. Vibrant. Can I say more? Also, the fries. Mmmm. Please go here.

My wife and I have allergies (gluten/dairy), and it's never been an issue. The staff are always wonderful. The only negative is it's loud inside when it's busy (owner is aware, and working on it). We usually sit on the patio, as it's not as noisy, so long as the weather isn't horrible.

Chloe Turner

So tasty and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The service was quick and the food was amazing. Very good at accommodating allergies as well. Got the Bulgogi Beef Benny with a gluten free English muffin - would highly recommend.
