Absolutely amazing! The staff is thoroughly trained and managers bring allergies to the table. They even use a black napkin under allergy plates as a signal to all employees that the dish is an allergy. They use casarecce GF pasta - so they can know it’s GF just by looking at it. I felt incredibly safe eating here, and I got an almond flour cannoli!

They offer a small selection of gluten friendly baked goods. There is a risk of cross contamination due to shared areas.

My daughter and I had lunch here a couple weeks ago. We sat outside where we experienced a very comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. Our waiter was Wilmar. He was polite, professional, and checked multiple times to make sure we were happy. The food was AMAZING! My daughter had the Wild Mushroom Ravioli (which she loved) and I had the Margherita pizza with a gluten free crust. The menu states it is a personal-size pizza, but it was so big, I had to share it with my daughter. This pizza tasted just like the one I had in Positano Italy. So authentic! They also have wine pairings which is a really nice touch. We did not have room for dessert, but tried anyway. My daughter had Clelia's Limoncello which is Lemon Gelato with a Limoncello liqueur center, meringue sprinkles, and lady fingers. She said it was so good! I had the Warm Chocolate Torta (which is flourless) served with ice cream. That was really delicious! Also, it was so nice to have gluten free options. We are definitely coming back again soon.

Can’t stress this enough: make a reservation. Our 30 minute wait turned into an hour. To be fair, it was very much worth the wait, but save yourself time and plan ahead! Tried several different things, and none of them disappointed. Halloumi shakshuka, baked salmon, side of delicious potatoes, wine, tea selection - everything was done very well. Extra thankful for the delicious gluten-free bread option that didn’t suck - delicious fluffy roll, freshly toasted amd YUM!!

Nice cafe with a bunch of gluten-free snack options that have come in handy for me. Coffee and tea drinks are all good, but not standout. Can be hard to find a place to sit as it is always pretty crowded. However, we've always been able to get a place to sit without too much of a wait when we decide to stay. I had the gluten-free chocolate tart, which was rich, chocolaty, and not too sweet. The London fog was acceptable but seemed a bit underbrewed as the earl grey didn't come through strong enough for my taste

I LOVED THIS PLACE!!! The host team was helpful when I needed to change my reservation time, which saved me some stress. I felt accommodated before even stepping foot into the building. I made a trip to Boston in search of a great scallop dish, and Atlantic Fish did not disappoint. Tim, my server, gave incredible recommendations for options on the menu. He was also extremely attentive and aware when it came to celiac needs. The gluten free bread was exceptional and the dish was worth every penny. I loved that the dish came with two sides so I had the chance to try a few options. The sparkling moscato was refreshing and the crème brûlée was the perfect cherry on top of the meal. Tim helped find some local gluten free spots for the rest of my trip, which was extremely helpful and locked in Atlantic Fish’s spot on my itinerary next time I am in town!

Super bummed they stopped making the chicky sandwiches. They offer chicky wraps but those cannot be made gluten free. I loved the chicky sandwiches on the potato buns (spicey, regular, parm) and really hope they bring them back to the menu soon. The hamburgers are not very good and require you to finish cooking them at home.

One of the best steaks I’ve ever had. They did a great job accommodating for my wife’s Celiac too so if you’re have a gluten allergy be unafraid.

We found our way here because of its gluten free recommendations. And I'm told they did not disappoint. In fact, we went here on back to back days because of its selections and overall freshness of the food. The inside is very aesthetically pleasing + love the exposed white brick walls and the displays of sweets is pretty stunning. We enjoyed sandwiches, desserts, cappuccinos-- everything was delicious. Wishing we had one here in Toronto to be honest! Such a great spot.

Limited gluten free options, but i did not leave hungry. I had salad, swordfish and ribs. Everything was good except the ribs, which were overcooked. Watermelon alcohol drink was amazing. Outdoor and indoor areas were lovely.
