Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots Across Ontario

My husband has celiac and so we never eat anywhere that is 100% GF. I had read great reviews online about Riz’s and when we were there on a trip I pushed for us to go and try it. I am so glad I did, every dish we tried was delicious. I loved how soft and tender the dumplings were, the Peking duck and wrappers were amazing. The Peking dumpling special were so flavorful and tender. We over ordered at the table knowing we would take it all back to the hotel for us to to reheat and eat the rest of the week. Peking Duck for breakfast is something everyone should try, it was amazing the next morning still. The owner was so gracious and friendly, we listened to every recommendation and was thrilled with everything we had. We even took one of each dessert home and they were all amazing. I highly recommend eating here for celiacs and non celiacs alike. It is so wonderful to find a place that understands the importance of a GF completely safe no cross contamination kitchen AND also makes the most delicious Asian food you can have. While we didn’t have every item on the menu we did try a lot of plates and every single plate was delicious. We will ALWAYS come back when in Toronto, this restaurant is such a win, I wish they delivered to Brooklyn 🥰

Really good and safe ✌️gluten-free! The sandwiches were delicious; I went there three times. I customized them: honey mustard, bacon, egg, and onion pickles! It's worth the detour! The only downside is the wait, but the sandwiches are really good and made live, amazing! Really good and safe ✌️gluten-free The sandwiches were delicious; I went there three times.

So I’ve been gluten free for a while and the bread scene is just rough…it just is! This is the best bread I’ve had! And the donut balls!!!OMG!!! I have no words! They are worth the drive from wherever you are! They come in threes because you can’t have just one! Dangerously delightful! I’m going back tomorrow for more! Overjoyed that I found this place!

Amazing 100% gluten free restaurant

Leanne Gilbert

Soooooo good!! Highly recommend whether you need to eat gluten free or not! Super fresh, hot & fantastic tasting gluten free Chinese food. It's better than any "regular" Chinese food I'd had prior to being diagnosed celiac. Everything we tried was delicious - fried rice, chop suey, chicken balls, general tao chicken, etc. but my favourite was the honey garlic pork. Everything was so good we ordered more food for takeout to go along with our leftovers from dinner. Also a great selection of frozen items. It was well worth the hour & a half drive for us to get there & we'll definitely make the trip to get there a few times a year!

Bunner's Bake Shop in Kensington Market is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious vegan and gluten-free baked goods. They offer a wide variety of treats, from cakes and cookies to bars and other desserts. I was particularly keen to try their pies, but unfortunately, they were sold out by the time we arrived. This speaks to their popularity, so I'd recommend arriving early for the best selection. Despite missing out on the pie, I was still impressed with the other options available. I especially enjoyed their date squares, which were both sweet and chewy.

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!

My go to place to pick up bread and anything gluten free

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.

Johnny Manny

Got take out here. Amazing they have good gluten free options. They fish isn’t greasy , yet crisp. Portions are good. I would highly recommend

Cassy A

Absolutely amazing!! Everything is gluten free and the food tastes soo good!

Hippy Happy

I was so happy to find a fully vegan bakery in Ottawa, I never would've guessed that it was gluten free :) and kosher and nut free. I stopped here for brunch and got a cinnamon roll, a banana chocolate muffin and a berry iced tea slushie. All DELICIOUS!

Winnie's has been a go to for my daughter who has Celiac. We have only purchased their desserts and she LOVES them. Maybe one day we will try some of their other food items. If you are looking for a CAKE you need to pre-order. They have various flavors available.

Ginger snap, oatmeal, and Linzer cookies were amazing! Fruit muffin with jam filling was light, airy and filled with berries. It’s always a wonderful surprise when a gluten-free bakery pops up unexpected in a mall you’ve never been to before. You made my day! I can’t add any photos because I ate them all so quickly.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food pics! You can sprout a new love for gluten-free eats at this local cafe, and you'll hardly miss the gluten. The sandwich is as satisfying as it looks, with ingredients that come together to deliver a delicious bite where basil is the star. They also have a mini side salad, but I opted for an orange almond cake too, and the citrusy addition pairs nicely with the sweet, nutty almond base.

Kasey Miner

In my humble yet educated opinion (18 years celiac ) this is the best bakery I have ever eaten at. Great options for the dairy free and vegan eaters as well. From the ease of ordering 2 loaves of olive bread to the warm friendly atmosphere at the store my experience was perfect. I walked in expecting bread and left with so many sweet and savoury treats. Great little store for products as well. If you’re in the area for work or for a holiday and have special food needs this is the place to check out .

Curt Bigelow

Amazing options, great food, friendly staff!

They had a lot of freezer items, and different shapes of gluten free pastas, which was nice to see. There were also a lot of lovely baked goods in the case. I read that they had GF beaver tails, so that's why I came. I was excited to try my first beaver tail (newcomer to Canada). When I got it, it was slightly warm on the edges, but refrigerator-cold and damp in the middle. My partner told me they are usually fried, so it should have been piping hot. It was disappointing. I was thinking about getting a sandwich, but overheard someone ask about getting pasta, but it would have taken 40 min for that. Surprising, since they use the dried pasta they sell to make it. I had some questions about items, but felt dismissed and almost belittled by the answers. I was off-put by the rude tone, and combined with my disappointing menu item, won't be back. I'm sure it's fine if you're just going for cookies or frozen goods, but some other folks and myself were wondering if someone was actually there. It took quite some time for the owner to come out from the back. Not sure if that's the norm- maybe they were short-staffed, but don't go unless you have lots of extra time to spare.

Sushi was delicious and great gluten free options. Staff was wonderful and tables were clean, as well as the rest of the establishment. Great experience would recommend.

Jaqueline Renaud

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

Jenna M

! 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.

Humza Shah

Absolutely amazing pastries! 100% gluten free, plenty of vegan options as well. Customer service was incredible. I will definitely be coming back for more!

Andre

Have been going here for many years. Best prices, quality, taste for a gluten free bakery in Ottawa

Nick N

Great small business, not many people put as much pride into there work as cal, from sourcing the best ingredients and always pushing the boundaries of gluten-free food this store embodies what all Gluten-Free products should be trying to do 👌 I'm not even gluten free. My aunt is I just get snacks for her and eat them on occasion and find they're phenomenal! 10/10 👌

Daniel Gosher

I come here frequently and have yet to be disappointed. The food is always good, portions are very fair, top notch selection for gluten-free food. Can't find a place like this anywhere else. Cozy vibe, great service, and wholesome food. All of these factors make it a pleasure to support the business.

Braden White

Best gluten free pastry I've ever had

Robin keane

Plant Matter Kitchen is such a wonderful place to enjoy healthier, delicious options. Everything on the menu is vegan, and most items are gluten-free or can be made gluten-free, which I really appreciate. One of my absolute favourite desserts is their blueberry cheesecake—so creamy and flavourful, you’d never guess it’s vegan and gluten-free. Their chocolate cake is just as divine—rich, moist, and totally indulgent. Truly a slice of heaven! The presentation is always so beautiful. The vibe is warm and welcoming, and the staff, especially the waitresses, are always so friendly and lovely. It’s a spot I keep coming back to, and I always leave feeling satisfied and happy.

Janice Mccormack

it was a great meal. 5 of us with different allergies, and ever one was happy. thanks

Andrea Adam

What a treat. I live gluten-free and to be able to feed a little urge for classics like baked goods or a chicken pot pie is just wonderful. And they are sooo friendly ☺️

Brenna Liane

What a cool restaurant, I loved the decor. I equally love that everything is gluten free as it's difficult to avoid contamination. The sweet potato halloumi taco was mine and my fiance's fav and the Baddy Addy Red Pepper Marg had really good and interesting flavours!

Shannon Freeman

New owner (Raj) has really outdone himself! The new layout is beautiful—a fun, fresh vibe for sure! Food is still delicious, lots of variety (the gluten free fish n chips are AMAZING!), and the staff are very friendly. Will come back for sure!

Alecia Scherman

I live in Alberta and am newly diagnosed NCGS (non-celiac gluten sensitivity). It was really hard to find a Gluten-Free Sourdough starter near me and Marcelles’ sent me an envelope when I reached out. They were so helpful to speak with. I’m rehydrating my starter today and excited to see the progress!

Trevor Richardson

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

Sharon Robinson

We’ve dined at The Mule many times and it has been our go-to restaurant for eating out, especially since both my daughter and I are celiac and have always appreciated your gluten-free options and care. Unfortunately, our most recent visit to the Cambridge location was disappointing. The service fell very short of what we’ve come to expect. Our server got our drink orders wrong twice, and there was a noticeably long wait for our meals, despite the fact that the restaurant was not busy at all. We’ve always valued The Mule for its reliability and attentiveness, especially given our dietary needs, which makes this experience all the more disappointing We may not be returning.

Shana S

Delicious mini tarts. Loved the pecan for sweet and the beef for savory !

Christina Stair

Fantastic service, they were so kind and happy to help us when we visited. Food was amazing, and everything can be prepared gluten free in dedicated appliances so there is no crosscontamination. Would definitely come back if we are in town!

Paul Bergsma

We had a fantastic dinner experience at ZOLAS last night with our family of four, including one gluten-free diner. The menu offered plenty of options, and our server was super attentive and provided great recommendations. The food arrived quickly and was piping hot and delicious! We took advantage of the $75 Wednesday night deal, where you get an appetizer to share, individual mains, and a dessert to share for every two people. What a great value! The food was absolutely delicious, and we highly recommend ZOLAS to anyone looking for a great dining experience. Can't wait to go back!

Emmalyn Lacroix

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!!! The people here are so kind and the food is so good. They also offer gluten free options and make their spicy mayo sauce fresh. I definitely suggest coming to check this place out, definitely worth it.

Rita Quieti

We bought their gluten free ham and cheddar quiche. I'm not a quiche person but theirs was absolutely delicious and I would definitely buy more from this bakery.

Rob Aleksic

Excellent plant based gluten-free menu 👌 Will recommend anytime 😊

Maud C

I went there, they told me they were not dedicated. Half of the kitchen is gluten free, and the other 1/2 is not. This listing needs to be updated. Can you please update this listing ?

Gluten-Free Goodness That Surprises and Delights Date of Visit: Tuesday, June 24, 2025  Owen Sound, ON As someone who’s tried their fair share of gluten-free baked goods—and often found them dry, grainy, and underwhelming - I wasn’t expecting to be wowed. Boon Bakery proved me wrong in the best way. This 100% gluten-free and dairy-free bakery is a cozy little spot in downtown Owen Sound, and it’s clear from the moment you walk in that there’s serious talent behind the counter. Everything LOOKS amazing – the craftsmanship of the baking is on point.  We picked up a few treats: Nanaimo bars, carrot cakes, and butter tarts—each one beautifully crafted and full of flavour. These aren’t just good for people who need gluten-free—they’re just plain good. The attention to detail is impressive. Everything looks like it belongs in a pastry case in a high-end patisserie, but with the added bonus of being gluten-sensitive and dairy sensitive friendly. You can tell there’s a lot of heart and skill in every bite. While I have had many negative experiences with gluten-free baking, I have also had some truly positive ones, and I always keep an open mind and palate when trying a new bakery. So, If you’ve written off gluten-free baking in the past, Boon might just change your mind. It’s a lovely little bakery doing big things—and definitely worth a visit.

I came here to dine in last weekend for the first time, closer to their closing time and was greeted very nicely and food was very amazing! I love all gluten free idea. My drink was a bit bitter so i went and asked for a different drink, the supervisor (im assuming, short brown guy) was very rude to me and said, “what do you want then?” And then slammed the drink on the floor. This is ridiculous behaviour. I understand the hurry to close but this is not the way to go!

Kate Dupuis

We absolutely love Beertown — and more importantly, we trust Beertown. My fiancé has celiac disease, and it can be really tough to find restaurants where we feel safe AND enjoy great food with lots of options. Beertown is our #1 choice. They have a full gluten-free menu, always take extra care with his order, and he’s never been glutened here — not once. The atmosphere is always warm, welcoming, and a little trendy. Plus, their patio is fantastic — dog-friendly with beds and water bowls brought to your pup without even asking. Couldn’t recommend this location more!

Marco Vitale (MV)

Absolutely blown away by Rouge Kitchen! We discovered this gem through the Find Me Gluten Free app and it exceeded all expectations. Dining with someone with celiac, I’m always cautious for them, but Jeff and Jo are incredibly knowledgeable and allergy-aware—they took the time to explain their processes and made us feel completely safe. Nearly everything on the menu can be made gluten free, and they have a dedicated fryer, which is so rare and appreciated. The rotating menu keeps things exciting, and you can really taste the care and quality in every small-batch, homemade dish. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. The food is always fresh, delicious, and made to order—highlights for us were the chicken tenders and Mac n cheese! They are so friendly and helpful, making every visit feel special. If you’re looking for a place that truly understands gluten-free and allergy needs, Rouge Kitchen is a must-visit in Scarborough and worth the drive. Highly recommend! Five stars!

Sara Pezzella

Gluten free pizza and sushi are all phenomenal!

Sandie George

We celebrated my husbands birthday, dinner for two. We shared the full size kale ceasar salad with roasted chick peas and gluten free. The truffled chicken dinner and scallop, pork belly risotto were delicious. Their bartender makes great classic margaritas too. McKenzie our server was friendly and attentative to my gluten free needs. It always feels safe eating gluten free here. The chef plans to put their gluten free fish n chips back on the menu soon, they are delicious. Looking forward to that. Its so difficult to find gluten free fish n chips. We will be back.

Ally E

These guys have the absolute best gluten free treats that you’ll be able to find in the Hamilton/Niagara region. They also have so many options for gluten free treats too, not just one type of cookie. They have squares, cookies, donuts, cheesecake tarts, bread and more and you can’t even tell it’s gluten free

Rachel Loerts

The service was friendly and fast, and it was a cute little pub. Very clean and cute decorations. The lunch menu had very few gluten-free options. Their burgers have gluten in the patty (but this information was not available online when I checked beforehand), so I couldn't have a burger, which is usually something you can count on being gluten-free at a pub. I got the spinach with chick pea pancake. It was really good, but not very filling, especially given the price.

Dipankar Arora

Healthy food. While ordering I was told that everything here is gluten free. I tried K & K lasagna.
