Top 22 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots Across Victoria

Night service and a great variety of delicious gluten-free things!

No MSG No Garlic Foodie

We decided to visit Victoria after finding several restaurants offering vegan food. Since Be Love is dedicated vegan and also gluten free, it was my first choice. However, there wasn't that many items on the menu to my taste, but since they promise seasonal items, I had hoped that there would be some pleasant surprises. The rest of my party decided to order organic red and white wines by the glass. I chose Earthblood Tonic juice made with carrot, beet, celery, kale and ginger. It was very refreshing and looked stunning. The Mac Bowl appealed to me because it claimed to have braising greens, seasonal vegetable, and broccoli. I was warned that the sauce contains garlic, but I took a chance hoping that it would be black garlic rather than fresh garlic. Fortunately, the garlic was hardly noticeable and I was not affected. It was a very rich dish and I loved the creamy taste of the sauce. The roasted hazel nuts were strange and tasted as though the vegetables still had soil/sand/grit. I was disappointed with the scant amount of greens and vegetables, and if I had known, I might have asked for extra vegetables. And of course, I could not finish it the macaroni. If it wasn't for the 'gritty texture' I would have rated this four stars. My friends ordered the daily special gluten free ravioli with nettle. They all loved it. We also shared a platter with flatbread, cashew cream cheese, apple & beet chutney. I was only able to have one item because the rest were heavy with garlic.

Awesome spot, delicious food… always great service! As someone with celiac disease too, it’s a treat to find a gluten free location as well.

Brittany Rene

This place is unreal! One of the best breakfasts of my life. Begging for y’all to open a location in LA. Objectively delicious breakfast. Plus perfect for my gluten and dairy free needs. I’m still thinking about that hollandaise. Kind staff. Good vibes. Went back the next day it was so good. If I lived in Victoria I would eat here once a week at least. Wish I could give more stars. NEVER CLOSE I BEG.

Fantastic place to have brunch! Being Celiac, there are often challenges with the menus, but here at Johns Place they accommodate for this. I had “Catch 22” which was half eggs benny (GF hollandaise) on a GF bun, and GF waffle. It was excelllent and so was the coffee!! Thank you so much for providing these options!!

Alice Trombley

Thank you for making pizza that I can actually eat that tastes amazing. Finding a gluten-free/dairy-free pizza that doesn’t taste like chemicals and sadness is a true feat. ❤️

Kathleen Oneill

Made me a gluten free pizza in under 10 minutes because we needed to catch the ferry! Delicious and speedy

Gail Bailey

Absolutely delicious and so many gluten free choices!!

My Gypsy Tale

Had dinner with My best friend and my mother last night. Shalena’s service was exceptional. My mum has food issues that can be a challenge. Shalena could not have been more accommodating. Mum often avoids going for dinner due to her FOD diet Mum was so happy to be so well taken care. Thank you for the exceptional service. They have a special deep fryers to accommodate people who are celiac and willing to adjust a dish to suit my mums food challenges. Cheers

Green Cuisine is a Victoria gem. My friends and I regularly order take away and sometimes eat in. The food is always hearty, tasty and great value for money. If we ever have visitors, I tell them to check out Green Cuisine. No one has ever told me they weren't impressed with the food on offer, the prices or the wonderful desserts. As a person with Gluten sensitivities, this place gives me so many options. LOVE IT! Can't recommend this place enough. Long may it continue to provide Victoria with affordable, yummy, no nonsense food.

Great celiac safe barbecue place! Everything is GF except waffles and regular buns, but they take precautions to keep celiac customers safe (changing gloves, etc). They have fantastic fried chicken which is GF, fried only with fries (also GF), and the regular bbq things. Great sandwiches, poutine, and fried chicken!

Charlie Price

Great Brunch. Excellent for allergies and dietary restrictions as well (Celiac).

Fran Nemeth

I would have given 5 starts if there was a designated GF fryer. Yanet was amazing and took my celiac condition seriously and was super careful. Will definitely be back.

Erinn McLeese

I ordered the onion rings for my friend who is celiac and from the time I called to the time she was able to eat her first onion rings in over 10yrs.... she is IN BLISS!!! And I am so excited for her! Thank-you!!!!

Steve Sakamoto

Amazing food, very friendly and accommodating service, and the vibe is incredible - especially when the band is in the house.I don't know what they put into the focaccia bread, but if go there and pay full pop for the bread alone. It's like pastry - a little crisp on the outside, delightfully fluffy inside, and the dusting of salt flakes...magic. When I say the food is amazing, I mean the food is AMAZING (the 'Sophia' is as tantalizingly delicious as its namesake). Extra points for the gluten free pasta option!

Justine Brennick

Incredible breakfast, especially for a gluten free meal

dan shalloween

Great staff, delicious food and reasonable prices. Lots of gluten free options for my partner.

Jeremy Scott

This place is one of the best restaurants we've been to in a while. Everything we had was fantastic: Beef tenderloin carpaccio, smoked chicken penne, pan seared miso halibut, blackened creole chicken. My wife has celiac and they have a lot of options. The gluten free penne was probably the best GF pasta she has tried. We also had a few cocktails and they were all well made. Earl Grey Martini was a stand out for me. Our server was very nice and accommodating as well and service was very fast.

Anna Hanael

This restaurant is a gem. The food is superb. Lots of gluten free options. I had a crepe with seafood, veggies bunded in delicious creamy sauce. Pear salad with goat cheese is Highly recommended.

Lisa Hermann

They don't have many gluten free options. I ordered and was assured that the kitchen will take care. I got sick later that night as I have celiac disease. So care was not taken.

Midori Frisk

Rice bowls are surprisingly good and also gluten free (celiac safe)

Eric LeBlanc

We needed gluten free and we were very happy to know that they have a dedicated gluten free menu and they use a dedicated gluten free fryer for their food. It can be really hard to find a lot of places like this, but this is by far my favourite place to eat in Victoria! I really want to thank everyone there who made it very easy to find safe food for us.

Shannon KMG

Absolutely love Bunny and her team! Everyone is kind and there to help patiently while I peruse the many many vegan options and wonderful gluten free options. Has become one of my favourite gluten free places in Victoria!

Dylan Lyons

Great Brunch spot. Lots of Gluten Free Options and good coffee. Highly recommend.

Karena Holtz

My favourite place to go when I visit Victoria! I have been eating here for many years. And each brunch or lunch or dessert is a feast for both my senses and belly. Nutritious, beautifully prepared and presented drinks and meals with exceptional flavours. Great service that is always sensitive and accommodating to my dairy and gluten allergies. A huge hug of gratitude for the incredible people who make this place a beautiful experience in every way!

thomas scherbak

Gluten free biscuits are to die for if you have the itch of a place you should go. Also their specials when ever I have been have always just hit the spot

v brown

Wooooooow that was so tasty! You will not regret eating here! The flavours were beautiful, the portion is generous, and the mango lasse is the best I’ve ever had! The dosas are gluten free :)

Vanessa Hawk

HOB did a fantastic job catering our wedding! The team was responsive during planning and lovely during service. The food was delicious - our guests keep saying it’s the best wedding food they’d had! We had a number of gluten and dairy free guests and on top of offering a very inclusive menu, HOB made sure they had alternatives for each guest.

Oberzocker 511

Went there last Friday after our arrival in the country and must say this place didn’t disappoint. Great table service with great tasting house wine, Tasty food and a pleasant atmosphere. If you’re in the area worth the try. They also have Gluten- free options available. Very friendly waiter aswell. Cheers Gerrit

ETH LDGR

Paid 16 dollars (as I gave 2 dollar tip) for some good tasting chicken soup. I was disappointed to see there were only like 3 tiny pieces of chicken in the soup. Also for folks who don’t want bread, maybe provide a gluten free option or reduce the overall price of the meal. The servers were very kind and the soup tasted good but for the price point not so much!

Cheryl U

NOT great for someone who has Celiac as very limited GF options (no GF burger buns) - they are clear that they cannot guarantee cross contamination, etc. HOWEVER, we did take a chance and ordered the Bacun Crafty Mac N Cheese dish with GF pasta - it was delicious! And so was the London Fog! The staff are friendly and helpful. And the atmosphere was relaxing. Nice to have tasty Vegan food in Victoria!

Jenna McRobb

Great customer service from Ifaz & Mariah! Very efficient and super nice! Plus they have veggie and gluten free options! Worth it

Jessica Hooper

My friend and I had such a wonderful experience! The service from the moment we walked in the door was exceptional. The gluten free options were delicious. The unique teacups were a delight and we will be back! Sloan was very attentive and knowledgeable - made this a perfect day!

Alyssa Muncy

Marissa was incredible! She was attentive, friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable when dealing with a celiac allergy at our table. Earl's accommodated a table request, (as most of our group was not able to sit at a high top table) and they left a wonderful birthday card on the table for the occasion. What a perfect touch! There was an undercooked steak at the table but Marissa was quick to respond and she dealt with this issue easily, bringing the replacement right away. Everyone in our group was offered a free dessert - assuming as part of the birthday celebration or could have been from the steak recook? Either way, we all left satisfied and very very impressed with the service. Thank you Marissa and team for helping to make my birthday dinner a special occasion!

Emme Abbs

We loved our visit to Finn’s. Great service, food and atmosphere. I had the seafood linguine, my partner had Finn’s burger on a gluten free bun, and we shared the bison Carpaccio to start. Everything was delicious. Sad I didn’t get any pictures.

Came here for brunch with a Victoria local friend who recommended this restaurant. The inside is nicely decorated with natural light coming in from the windows. There are plenty of options on the menu and cater to everyone's taste. There are plenty of gluten free and vegetarian items. They are known for their egg benedicts so we have to give it a try while in Victoria. We ordered the Brisket Benedict on bagel and the Salmon Benedict on croissant (believe there is a $1 surcharge but was told worth the $1 if you like buttery and flaky bread). The bagel was a bit hard to my liking but definitely not soggy even with the eggs and brisket loaded on top. Also, it was quite unique to have a bagel in a benedict. The eggs were cooked perfectly with medium runny yolks. The hashbrowns on the side were very crispy and flavourful. We also ordered drinks to go with the meals. Tropical punch and lavender lemonade are quite popular for non-alcohol options. Overall, our server was nice and attentive. Food was delicious. This would be my go-to brunch place if I live in Victoria.

Shauna McInnis

Delicious! Great service re: accommodating for a gluten allergy.

Allison Bruce-Fowler

Best burger in town and love the gluten-free bun. One disappointment was I ordered an Amoretto sour martini and they did not have the Brandy cherry. Boo Hoo! It really makes the drink special.

Don R Campbell

For that schnitzel craving, there is no better place in Victoria. And if you're celiac (gluten free) the answer is finally "yes!". You can enjoy it right along with your eating partners. The crisp is just right, the sides (you get two) are very nicely prepared. Bonus is, we have enough leftover for lunch the following day. The service was fun, informative and attentive.

Karen Ethier

Delicious sandwiches and gluten free options as well! Highly recommend!

Jessica Blackman

Omg. This place is insanely good. Dedicated GF fryer! They are safe for celiac. The server would state “gluten free celiac” whenever she dropped my food off. GF churros!!!! Loved it.

Andrew Stewart-Jones

Lots of gluten-free options. The scones are amazing. Nice little shop and european atmosphere.

Cait Foster

Food is always good, sometimes awesome; this is one of few restaurant chains in Victoria that serves Celiacs with care. I love the little notes they write on takeout orders - it’s such a small detail, but it goes such a long way!

Carly McGhee

Service was great! They were super accommodating of my gluten and dairy allergies. Defiantly a spot of fresh seafood. The oysters were great, steaks cooked perfectly.

Chelsea McDonald

They actually have a separate fryer for gluten-free. So good! We had the beef burger and steak frites both gluten free and both amazing!

Lucielle Dinney

Great service and the food was great! They even have a dedicated fryer for celiacs!

Ron Dyson

Valentine’s Day dinner. Booked in advance and the restaurant actually called before hand to confirm reservation and to see if we needed any special help for possible mobility issues. We didn’t but Outstanding! First time ever. We ordered the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl, and the Piri Piri half chicken dinner. The bowl was beautiful and delicious. The only thing I would suggest is that it be a larger portion. They really stepped up to make the chicken dinner gluten and dairy free with incredible ease! Both dinners were delicious. Nice atmosphere on the upper floor. Service was outstanding. Two dinners and two glasses of wine 🍷 for under $ 💯, including tip. Highly recommend this place. Nice place and value! Cheers! 🥂

mikeyarbulu

Amazing food with gluten free options. I would be here all the time if I lived here!

Janaea Overn

So glad we tried Rebar while in Victoria! The waitress was happy to point out the many gluten free & vegan options. The portion sizes are great. You won’t leave hungry. Lots of fresh flavours and veggies in the dishes. It would also be worth it to go just for the fresh juice. Delicious - it really hit the spot!
