Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots Across North Vancouver

The pizzas and options for them are really great! I'm allergic to wheat and their gluten-free crust was the best I've ever had!

Always LOVE Sansho Sushi, and visit often. They are always busy with dine-in and take out orders, which tells you it’s a great spot. Never had to wait for a table though, and the staff are always friendly & attentive no matter the time or day. Excellent selection of boxes and special items. The highlight is the gluten free menu!! Super thankful for a sushi spot that offers so many gluten free options- including teriyaki!! I love their chicken teriyaki roll, V4 roll (vegetable) and spicy salmon roll. The miso soup is also Gf and delicious.

I love the place and my visit there, the baker and owner Bruce is absolutely incredible person to talk to and the food is delicious, as close to glutinous products as it can be. Will definitely come back here 😊

Great little Cafe in the middle of Deep Cove. Coffee is good, baked goods are really great - freshly made each day. Iris the manager made us a special Gluten free cake at our request a couple of years back - awesome. Staffed with young people from the local area which I also like. Don't forget to check out the patio/deck out back to get away from the busy main deep Cove Street, or sit out front and watch the people sound their thing.

Came during happy hour and got a seat on the outdoor rooftop area, great views of the city and water. While we waited (10 min) for our seat my husband was given a glass of complimentary bubbles. We had the burger, beer, frozen lemonade, and grilled chicken club (gluten free bun was great!). Our server Taylor was efficient and friendly!!

We had the pleasure of trying this new restaurant a few nights ago. I am coeliac and my kids are gluten intolerant. We placed an order for one piece, fish and chips to go. We of course, opted for the gluten-free, battered fish, and I was shocked to notice there wasn’t an added fee for gluten-free. I’m not sure if it was the manager or a staff member, but When I noted there wasn’t an extra fee, they looked at me and said you didn’t choose to be celiac. I honestly was blown away and instantly loved the place. As a celiac, I’m used to paying extra for gluten-free items so this was a nice surprise. They also exclaimed they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, so the gluten-free fish and chips are coeliac safe. This time around, I only ordered for my two kids. They split a one piece fish and chips. They said it was the best they’ve ever had and the tartar sauce was amazing! I did taste the crust of the fish and honestly, I thought it was perfectly crispy and flavourful! I do want to add, when we arrived to pick up our order the, who I’m guessing was the manager at the time, hand delivered our order outside to us as I had my children and my dog. All around an amazing experience and will absolutely be back! I do have a side note because everything was so delicious. I am wondering if I can convince the chef or managers to add a deep fried tofu option for plant based eaters! I realize it is a seafood restaurant, but if there was, They would have coeliac plant based eaters flocking from afar!

I have celiac and this was by far one of my best restaurant experiences! The staff were very knowledgeable and even made sure to check that my drink was safe to have. The food was delicious as always. I’ve been to this location multiple times and I’ll definitely be back!

Although we were more recently at the Lynn Valley location (which was also great), we have had many good experiences at this location. A really big shoutout to Darcy (because even though he shared he is usually at the Upper Lonsdale location he was at the Lynn Valley location today). He was attentive and thoughtful regarding a gluten allergy and went a step beyond by providing the gluten free brownie dessert after a really lovely meal and shared how he knows it isn’t always easy to come across a nice gluten free dessert. It was such a wonderful and thoughtful detail that went a long way for us. These are moments that make a customer feel special and cared for - and unashamed despite dietary restrictions/allergies. I wish for everyone who is impacted by food allergies and restrictions to be treated with such kindness, respect, and in this case, additional generosity. Thank you, Darcy and Brown’s for a really wonderful experience.

Jeanie Morton

This was such an amazing experience for me and my daughter! The food was amazing and they were very knowledgable about celiac diet. It was incredible!!

Andrea Schartner

The food and the service was fantastic. Most items are gluten free, and if you ask, the owner is very clear about which items are not gf or are fried with non gf items. Really great experience. I will definitely be back!

Linda Sharp

The Basque cheesecake at the Contrarian Bakery was simply amazing! We can’t wait to try the other variations especially the coconut one! An excellent dessert, and a true treat for Gluten Free folks.

I tried Captain’s Oven Pizza for the first time and went with their gluten-free pizza with vegan cheese. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect because gluten-free crusts can sometimes be dry or too chewy, but this one was actually really good. It had a nice texture crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and it didn’t fall apart like some gluten-free pizzas do. The vegan cheese was a pleasant surprise too! It melted well and had a nice taste without that weird artificial flavor some dairy free cheeses have. The toppings were fresh, and they didn’t overload the pizza, so everything felt well-balanced instead of heavy. Overall, I really enjoyed it! It’s not always easy to find a good gluten-free and dairy-free pizza, but Captain’s Oven Pizza did a great job and is my go to spot.

Also great for lactose allergy

Love Romers! The food is awesome - lots of options for celiacs. Their Smokey Bourbon is worth the price. Happy hour selections are terrific and staff are friendly, efficient and reminiscent of The Black Bear Pub’s . My fave🩷

No MSG No Garlic Foodie

A shopping trip to North Vancouver lead us to Buddha-Full for lunch. To fully check out the menu, I clicked the Order Now button, where there are more items, and I can check 'Nut allergy' or Gluten 'allergy', select all kinds of Add Ons, check boxes on the 'No List' and the Sub menu. They are Buddha by name only – while Buddhists don't eat garlic – some of the menu items here contain garlic 😟. I ordered the Wild Heart Bowl with the miso ginger sauce, substituting stewed lentils with tofu, my partner ordered the Grilled Please Panini. Both looked good. I found the tofu a bit too dry and hard. The sauce was good. The sandwich was very good and so was the sourdough. We also tried the chestnut latte, but the foam milk was underwhelming. Then, I discovered that the entire 2nd shelf of their sweet treats display is gluten free. These days, because I have so many allergies, I have to check all the ingredients before I try anything, and not being to see what the sweets are made of means I didn't feel safe enough to try anything. I did buy the GF Almond Energy Bar which my partner enjoyed. Most of their customers behave like regulars. If I live near this place, I would become a regular as well.

I am on the search for restaurants that offer GF anything. (I am not celiac). I was pleasantly surprised to see they had GF buns on offer for the burger ($3 up charge). With this up charge my expectations were high. When the burger arrived it looked unusual with white spots on the top, shriveled and flat. All for research I thought give it shot… it was horrible the bun was freezer burned, the beef in the burger was dry and bland, no sauce! thank goodness for ketchup that I added! I would say this was the worst burger ever! I let the waiter know it was horrible. His comment was I will let the “chef” know and then started to explain to me how buns get freezer burn! He missed one point it properly was at the bottom of the freezer for a VERY long time. If you can’t serve a good GF bun don’t offer it! The burger for $25 not worth the price every with out the GF. As I ate the beef only. I should have complained more but I did not A word to the chef/cook If it’s freezer burned don’t serve it!

I adore this tiny gem and the lactose and gluten free options they have, plus it’s super dog and pet friendly ♥️

As a local I go here frequently, there are not a lot of choices in Deep Cove and for sure we are lucky to have Arms Reach. Although it's not as busy in the winter its enough to make the atmosphere what it needs to be for a rainy winter night - cosy. It's not the cheapest option but you know your going to have a quality dining experience and a good time, every time and that is worth the price. I do occasionally get a bit bored of the menu, but that is because I'm there quite a bit and have gluten sensitivity - and the specials do help out with some extra variety. For sure worth a visit, book in the summer or expect an hour plus wait, due to its place by the ocean in the heart of Deepcove.

We love the food here, and we come often. The menu isn't deep, but it's always tasty and as authentic as you will find in Canada. I did prefer their old chicken recipe to the current one. Gluten-free is available. The regular stools and tables are bit too low.

Had a lovely first visit to this bakery where Rita was so helpful in showing us the various pastries available, telling us about the different ingredients, all organic with many sugar free and gluten free options. The pastries were delicious and we will certainly return!

This is the 3rd location I’ve been to that doesn’t offer gluten free. Why have it on the menu?! Such a waste of time to drive to these locations and be disappointed. Not impressed and will not be returning. This has happened several times now and as someone who is limited to gluten free options, I will be letting others know of this. Do better.

So artful and delicious 😋 they have lots of gluten free options and gf tamari sauce. The service is almost too attentive — when you show up, 5 people behind the counter all turn and stare and offer you to sit down. The seating could be better, it’s a little squishy / intimate… but overall it’s my favourite sushi spot in north van!

Olivia Lang

Hands down some of the best gluten free pizza in the Metro Vancouver! Such a squishy, buttery, chewy crust that it's hard to believe it's gluten free. The brussel sprout pizza is uniquely delicious. Definitely worth the drive to Deep Cove.

Great gluten-free bennies!

cozy fun atmosphere and absolutely delicious, quality food! the house made gluten free pasta is a wonderful option for gluten free folk. we especially love the pasta prosciutto e zucca (squash puree campanelle) and the flourless chocolate cake. the servers are all friendly and fun, and we always leave with smiles and full bellies!

Betsy Hale

We ordered Uber from Burgoo whilst visiting North Vancouver. The Beef Burgundy was delicious and comforting after days of travel. The meat was tender and served on mashed potatoes. Since I am gluten free, this was a nice option. We ordered the donuts for dessert and they weren’t my cup of tea….too salty!

We were desperately searching for something on the menu for my celiac son and they casually announced that they could make gluten-free pannekoeken! Everyone was happy, food was fun and tasty. Would definitely go back.
