Top 49 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots Across Toronto

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 🥰

Amazing wee find for coeliacs! Toasties were fantastic. Lots of options, bread really fresh.

Jen Dale

I loved this place! No symptoms at all. I had the chicken strips and buffalo cauliflower... SO good! Since my diagnosis I never through I would eat fried chicken again, so this option made my day :)

Joy Pamnani

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.

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

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.

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!

Jen Dale

Very very good sushi! The menu has a few items marked that cannot be gluten free, but the default is that everything is celiac safe. The waitress was very knowledgeable. Great experience!

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.

Janice Mccormack

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

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!

Vaidehi Patel

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!

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!

Dipankar Arora

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

Stephanie

I am embarrassingly obsessed with the sriracha pineapple cauliflower wings here. They’re gluten-free, dairy-free, sweet, spicy, crispy, and served on a bed of crunchy kale. It’s technically an appetizer it’s honestly a full meal lol. The portion is huge and so so good. Whenever I’m hungry and don’t know what I want, my boyfriend knows to just pick these up for me and I’ll be a happy girl. We’re moving out of the city soon, so they shared the recipe for the wings and the sauce with me for when I’m craving it - 10/10 staff. Whether you're plant-based or not, get them.

Eric Shaw

Gluten restriction or not, this place did not disappoint with food or drinks! Service was also some of the best. Wish I could remember our server's name because he was awesome and knowledgeable of the menu.

Alison Wills

Great gluten free menu The fries were so good. Can't wait to go back

Maureen Carter-Whitney

Delicious multi-course lunch with creative and tasty food. Loved the Roma salad, calamari and salmon entree - all perfectly prepared. The gluten-free pizza was excellent - one of the best I’ve tried! Lovely space and warm service.

Laureano Ottonello Tanno

Excellent Latino restaurant with gluten-free options. Thank you, we will definitely come back!

Ben Kidd

Excellent gluten-free pasta, possibly the best gluten free pasta in the city.

Krystle Manintveld

Food is decent. It's great that they have a gluten free eggs benny. Potatoes were definitely undercooked. It is always busy and a zoo to get in - not necessarily worth the wait to get in.

Varsha Dinodia

My to-go dinning joint when I wish to eat at Toronto’s BEST vegan and plant based fine dining cuisine at Planta- Toronto Queen Street location. From wait staff to servers and of-course the food- the bestest of ALL. I have soy and gluten allergy and the kitchen took care of my dietary request-with utmost love and care. I enjoyed my meal very much like always and I have been a patron for almost 10 years now. Because Planta is Planta. Thankyou :)

Ryley N

Lots of delicious gluten free options! In fact, they have an entire gluten free menu and they are highly knowledgeable about it! The breakfast menu is my favourite :)

Jodi Kipp

Great place for gluten & dairy free food!!

Coralie D'Souza

One of the best gluten-free spots in the city! Every single item is delicious.

Michael Deverill

Bohemian and nostalgic to the easy Rider, movie and movies of that era. Very relaxed and comfortable and the fusion Mexican food was excellent. Insanely good gluten-free waffles!

Jen Dale

My FAVOURITE restaurant ever. I love all of the food, the atmosphere, everything about it. It's so nice not having to think about choosing something GF because everything is! LOVE IT

Ellen Musgrove

nice place , clean and it’s nice to know it’s fully gluten free

Marsha Lebeau

This cozy cafe had an amazing selection of delicious and beautiful treats. Vegan, gluten-free, savoury and sweet....it met all our needs!!!! We will make this a regular stop between Ottawa and Kitchener !!!!

Nanette S

Had to come back to this spot for a slap up breakfast. Conveniently located around the corner from where East meets West (King St). The menu is filled with options for anyone, with a nicely elevated complementary pairing of flavours and gluten free options above and beyond bacon and eggs. It’s a bit on the noisy side with the open kitchen so if you or your party are sensitive to noise I’d keep that in mind. Reservations recommended - it’s busy because it’s good! Shout out to Jill who remembered us from our trip last summer :) all of the staff who served us today were wonderful!

Erica M

I love Beertown. Not just because they satisfy my foodie cravings for meat, nutrition and flavour…but also because they cater to the dairy and gluten-free side of me with an ENTIRE MENU OF GOODNESS.

Alexandre Bujold

Great Place, Gluten free burger Buns are insane !!! Great staff !

Camille Cayot

A great place to create your own gluten-free bowl, just the way you like it. A special mention for their paleo pecan pie bar: delicious 🤤 Build-your-own gluten-free bowls + their paleo pecan pie bar = 🤤

Gabrielle Watson

Unfortunately they ran out of the food I really wanted to try (the achiote chicken quesadilla), but the rancheros were really good anyways. Loved the homemade hot sauce and ketchup as well. My partner and friend thought their iced coffee was a little watered down tasting/not strong enough, but even for them the food made up for it. They had the brisket hash. Really cute place, the patio looked like a nice set up as well. Good options for people who eat vegetarian and gluten free. Service was friendly and attentive as well!

Dave Smith

Dave's Genuine is comfort food—pure and simple—especially if you grew up eating deli sandwiches, or Kosher favorites like matzoh ball soup. The turkey club is probably my favorite sandwich of all time, and Dave's Genuine makes a killer one. Best of all, it can be made gluten-free—safe for someone who has Celiac disease, like me. In fact, Dave's Genuine makes a real effort to accommodate gluten allergies because the owner's daughter also has Celiac, so he understands the ins and outs of cross contamination. In my most recent order, Dave's even sent me a free batch of fries with a kind note on it, promising they're prepared separately and fried in their own GF fryer. After trying these fries for the first time—crispy and light, by the way—I knew I needed to write this review. The customer service here is truly impeccable, and so is the quality of the food. Pro-tip: Try the smoked meat, it's insanely good.

Dawn Yager

I’m gluten free and they know their food, I was able to eat without a worry

Sarah Beal

Amazing experience here, the food, the drinks, the customer service and attentiveness from the waitstaff is a breath of fresh air! Our server Brie was a complete sweetheart and took outstanding care of us, making sure that my food allergies (celiac disease) were taken care of and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a cozy, fun, lively atmosphere with delicious food and a waitstaff who cares! Your food allergies are safe here, you won’t have to worry about a thing!

B C

The restaurant offers a gluten-free pizza option, which is great. However, the $7 surcharge for the gluten-free crust feels quite expensive. While I initially liked the dough, it became so hard and chewy as it cooled that it was almost impossible to eat. Unfortunately, the ingredients didn’t seem very flavorful either. We tried two varieties—Pompei and Pesto Chicken—but both lacked taste. Overall, I wouldn’t return.

Bev Ruffo

Happy bustling little spot, very cheerful. They dealt with food intolerance very well. I had gluten-free, dairy free French toast - yum!

Nadia Suleiman

Cute place, good gluten free pasta

Helen Thomas

Had a wonderful experience this weekend with Babs the Bartender! The cocktails she made were impeccable, my absolute favourite was the Watermelon Sling. As someone who is also gluten-free, Babs knows the menu inside and out and recommended the Blackened Chicken Sandwich protein style with the LPE salad. (had not regrets!) Will definitely be coming back, thanks Babs!

Michaela Storoschuk

WOW. For a Thursday, what an experience. It was a vibrant, energetic dining experience. I have a gluten and dairy allergy. Worry? NEVER! The wait staff were diligent, caring and prompt. Immaculate. And all the food was a tasty lil treat to the palette. And BONUS… cocktail hour 😎

Sarah E.

Ich hatte eine gf Pizza zum mitnehmen - sie war super! Knusprige Kruste wie bei „echter“ Pizza, leckerer Belag. 5$ Aufpreis für gf, insgesamt hat sie mich ca 23€ gekostet. Das ist natürlich nicht wenig, aber für Kanada normal und sie war so groß wie alle anderen Pizzen. Ach ja, sie wird in einer Extra Pfanne zubereitet, könnte also auch für Zölis funktionieren.

Chloe Borsato

The service was great the waitress was super nice and related to my gluten allergy. We got the calamari and tiger shrimp and for a main I got the Linguini de Mare and it was all so good but Oh My god the bread. If you come here get the bread. if you have leftover sauce get the bread. I have never had as good bread in my entire life. My gluten allergy could never hold me back from this bread. My stomach hurt so bad after (because of the allergy not the quality of the food; food quality was great) but it was so worth it and I would go back just to get that exact same meal again. Everything was 10/10 but the bread was the best bread I ever had in my entire life

R Massey

Seeing the unique name of the cafe and the fact that the cakes were vegan made us visit this place. Though there is less seating place inside, there is a large patio at the back. I wonder how this space would be used during the winter season? We ordered a coffee and a chai along with some cakes and we were not disappointed. The chai was excellent and tasted like desert. The cake was dense and tasty. Not overly sweet. I wish it was a gluten-free one. The service, too, was good, and we had fun chatting with the baker+ server. This place seemed popular as quite a few people were dropping in to have their coffee and some savory items. Unfortunately, the cakes we wanted weren't there, hence the selection was less.

Absolutely love eating here, the vibe is amazing and the staff are top tier! The food and atmosphere are so unique and as a Gluten Free Vegan who doesn't drink, trust me when I say this is a haven. I have been a few times so I have tried most of the food. Alot of the menu is already edible for me as is, but the majority of the menu can be accommodated to a vegan and/or gluten free diet which is amazing. The mocktails are equally fantastic. Watching the chefs at work in the open kitchen is the best, and the Management team and Madison in Events are always the most generous and accommodating. If you are so lucky to have service from Joseph, you will leave a very happy and full man! Can't wait to be back in the summer for Jungle Brunch!
