10/10. The fish tacos are my #1 choice, always. Such a great experience at the Burlington location, our server was so attentive and did a remarkable job accommodating our daughters gluten allergy.

We always have such an incredible time here! Brendan has been our server the past two times and service has been excellent. He makes great recommendations & everything is so quick! I’m celiac and they take very good care with their gluten free items, and confirm it in writing when punching in the order, and a manager brings it out and specifies it’s gluten free. Food is always top notch as well. No complaints, can definitely see us becoming regulars here lol.

Great place for all day breakfast. Gluten free options and kid friendly.

I recently had Hola Cafe and Market cater a small party for me and it was AMAZING! The planning and coordination was clear, easy, well organized, and very well communicated. Matthew was so great to work with, and really made sure the menu for my event was perfect! The pickup was on-time, and Matt and his brother were great at providing instructions for prep and leftovers storage. We had a taco bar with tons of toppings, mini empanadas, fried sweet plantains, and churros. The food was absolutely delicious and the talk of the party! I truly couldn’t recommend this place any more highly! Whether you’re eating in, ordering to-go, or having a party, you simply cannot go wrong here! ⭐️ Highlights for me are the mini empanadas and the arepas (both gluten free), the fried sweet plantains, and of course the tacos! ⭐️

I was super impressed with Pur & Simple. I had never even heard of it till a friend took me there for lunch. She's a big fan. It's a place for breakfast/lunch/brunch, and the menu is huge! It also takes into consideration different people's dietary preferences and restrictions. Gluten-free options and keto meals are available, which was great for me. Unless someone is hard-wired for fast food and junk food, I can't imagine anyone not finding something great to eat here!

Very accommodating. I’ve eaten here many times without any reaction. They have a separate fryer for gluten free !

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty busy. Thankfully able to find seating to accommodate 7 of us. Food and drinks came out pretty quick and everyone liked or love their drink or food selection. A lot of gluten free options to choose from. Would recommend for coming here for a coffee, catch up with friends or studying.

Had a dinner on the terrace recently. Excellent environment out there in the evening. Different vibe than inside which had a bit more energy (e.g. less leisurely). Thought the wine list was good. The crab cakes could do with a bit more seasoning and aioli. The entrees were a good size. The chocolate mousse also very yummy. They were able to accommodate a gluten free requirement on most dishes. Would return.

Mark at the bar is incredible! We had a reservation at a table but got there early so we sat at the bar. We decided to forgo our reservation and sit and spend our evening with this amazing gentlemen. I'm celiac and he went above and beyond to let me know what I could and couldn't have and made sure my entree was safe! We've been here a bunch of times but this by far was our best experience. Not only the staff but the food was phenomenal. Plus it was our anniversary and he made sure to bring us a Gluten free treat as a congratulations This place feels like home. Thank you Mark and staff for the experience 😊

Love that the food is always good and gluten free too! They are very diligent on the sensitivity of food, love that. I would go every week if I could :)

Really nice restaurant. I got the blackened chicken burger on gluten free bun. Had to request waitress to ensure it was also dairy free. They accommodated my dietary restrictions really well and I really enjoyed the burger. They do tend to be busy so better to book ahead a table for yourself.

We stopped in here for lunch when wowed by the menu via google search of local restaurants. The decor is deep colours Muskoka cottage but the food is world class modern cuisine while drawing heavily on Canadian ingredients lobster, angus beef, bison, boar, berries, seasonal vegetables. They are great with allergies and celiac so no worry. I will be back and definitely feel good about booking a group.

Gerri Hynes

Still my favorite breakfast. Thanks for the gluten free toast! 😊

Darlene Oakley

Awesome cafe. Good coffee. Wide arrange of healthy as well as gluten free, vegetarian, vegan options. Great atmosphere.

Joanna Oda

A great place for breakfast. One of the places my celiac spouse trusts for GF meals.

Danielle Rocheleau

Had a tasty frittata for lunch, with an espresso & gluten-free bread. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing, and the service was great, so we decided to stay for dessert. The flourless chocolate cake was quite rich, which was nicely paired with fresh fruit and whipped cream. Would definitely return!

Cynthia Sloan

Great service, good gluten free menu and staff seemed knowledgeable about allergies

I hope this was just a one time experience but I felt that I needed to make a review. As someone who has celiac, it is really hard for me to eat out and I had heard great things about the food and the staff at this restaurant for accommodating for celiac people. Trust me, I know the whole spiel about there not being a guarantee about no gluten due to cross contamination but I was fine to try from the reviews I had seen on some gluten free review apps. Unfortunately, when we got there, the host (who was also the bartender) wasn't very pleased to see us, but hey, everyone has bad days. He sat us in a nearly empty restaurant other than another table so I had high hopes about the ability for my food to be made celiac safe. When we came over, he was really unfriendly and honestly I just tried to give him the benefit of the doubt until it came to our order. As I was trying to order, I have to tell people about my allergies because celiac is severe and I have nut allergies too that... yk... can kill me. As I was trying to explain to him that I have celiac, he cut me off in the middle rolling his eyes saying the whole thing about how they can't guarantee anything. This was not only rude but also belittling. Then I asked if the fries were gluten free as in are they cooked in the same fryer as gluten containing items (since it reads GLUTEN FREE on the menu when it isn't gluten free it is gluten FRIENDLY which is not for anyone with celiac or allergies so it shouldn't say that) and he cut me off again saying it was in a fryer that had gluten items so no I couldn't do that. Again, the tone was so unwelcoming and all we wanted was to explain my situation to the waiter. I further asked about the Mexican street corn salad (again, labelled GF) and he said very passive aggressively "well does it sayyy gluten free" I said "yes" and he responded "then it is." I was shocked and also sad like I am not someone who makes reviews and I know how bad restaurants are accommodating for gluten free BUT if you can't you can't! I'm not going to complain when staff can communicate that they have too much cross contamination or they aren't safe for me to eat that is fine. What ISN"T fine it belittling a 20 year old girl for trying to explain her allergies, dismissing her and not letting her finish her sentences and trying to do the order as fast as possible so he could continue to talk to another worker at the bar and play on his phone in an AGAIN nearly empty restaurant. I really do want to eat here, especially because I have heard good things about food and staff! However, it just totally made me disappointed and scared to return because I don't want to be made to feel like that in situations where I shouldn't be. I am just as deserving of being served and served safely as anyone else. I didn't catch his name but I really hope he doesn't treat anyone else like that because that was the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant - my partner and I just ended up packing the food away and leaving. This is my experience and my experience alone. I am in no way saying not to eat here, I really did hear great things and still do from my loved ones, but for me as someone with celiac disease, this was beyond hurtful

Kate and Jason Rebelo

Always a great experience! Love that they have a gluten free pita, and they are always so kind & helpful in ensuring there’s no cross contamination!it’s nice to have a quick safe place to grab food! 🙏🏻

Hamont Reviewer

## District Kitchen and Bar: Great Wings, Consider Gluten-Free Options! **Friendly Service and Safe Wings:** District Kitchen and Bar impressed with their attentive and friendly staff. They were proactive in checking for dietary needs and confirmed their delicious chicken wings are safe for gluten-free diners. This was a huge plus for our visit! **Winging It:** The star of the show was definitely the wings! They were excellent and highly recommended. It's something to consider, but the quality of the wings might make it worth it for some. **Room for Improvement:** While the staff did confirm the wings themselves are gluten-free, it would be fantastic if the restaurant could expand their gluten-free options to include the sauces. This would make District Kitchen and Bar an even more attractive choice for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. **Overall Impression:** Despite the slightly high price point and limited gluten-free sauce options, we very much enjoyed our visit to District Kitchen and Bar. The friendly, accommodating staff and the excellent wings make it a place we'd definitely return to. **Recommendation:** This restaurant is perfect for those seeking delicious wings in a welcoming atmosphere. Just be aware that the wings can be pricey, especially for larger appetites. For those with gluten-free needs, double-check sauce options as they may not all be safe.

Menu is a bit odd. Lots of gluten free options, though. The poutine was okay but I’ve had better. Staff are amazing.

Staff server, Prakash was friendly, kind and helpful with suggesting menu selections. The place is bright and clean and the food was amazing! Will definitely be coming back. Love that they have dietary options with gluten and dairy free restrictions.

Bashir Ahmad

Paramount dining experience. Excellent staff. Please have gluten free options clearly stated on the menu and website.

Kathy Fader

Great food. Have gluten free options.

Shirley Wu

The lemon tart was so delicate! Love the lemon custard, very rice in flavour. The onion soup is the best I have had so far, rich without being too salty. The gluten friendly breakfast is a nice option to balance out the other items.

Fiona Hill

All our food choices were very good! The menu Is not large but it’s creative and varied with vegetarian and gluten free options. Very attractive plating. Service was great - attentive and friendly without being intrusive. We appreciated the manager stopping by to welcome us. Nice venue inside plus a patio. The lemon tart was fabulous!

Chloe White-Meaney

Had an amazing experience today. Chloe (I think? She had black hair) was so kind and helpful with my gluten allergy. I had forgotten to ask for a gluten free bun, and she helped me get one in ASAP. We also stayed for plenty of drinks, and she was so fast (I could see her making them herself too). What a multitasker! Great job. Clean establishment too.

Tony Garcia

First time ordering from here. Ordered shawarma and gluten free chicken and rice. The service was warm and friendly. The restaurant was clean, organized and well-run. The food itself was very tasty and filling. Will definitely return here again!

Steve Pipes

Most friendly service in Burlington! Family owned and run. I have a gluten allergy (celiac) and they make my menu choices 100% gluten free! So many amazingly tasteful choices too!

Eszter S

They are very friendly and have Gluten free options.

Neil MacGregor

It was good. Definitely better than average shawarma. I didn’t have the bread, which they seems to pride themselves - unfortunately I am gluten free.

Fraser Drummond

Wonderful location with amazing staff. Went over and above to accommodate my gluten allergy. Thanks so much!
