Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in Downtown St. John's

Lindsay MacDonald

As a vegetarian visiting St. John's I was bit concerned about food selections for myself but Nook and Cannery was such a delight. The vibes were immaculate and the food was incredible. They offer many ways to adjust meals to suit vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free folks. My favourite meal during my trip!

The staff was extremely friendly and provided consistent care. The food was wonderful, and they have Gluten Free/Celiac options. They are are able to sub alternatives if needed. Would definitely go back

Mitch was our server and he was amazing! Great recommendations and just an all around nice guy. Food here is amazing. If you’re gluten free they have one of the best gluten free crusts around. Def come here. Prices are more than fair.

Wonderful meal! So glad we picked this restaurant. Lots of yummy gluten free options!

Doreen Critch

We love going to Jack Astor's. There's something for everyone from our picky eater, to our vegetarian to our celiac. Candace is the best but I might be biased!

The Keg Steakhouse + Bar in St. John’s, located at 127 Harbour Drive, offers a refined yet casual dining experience with stunning views of the harbor and Signal Hill from its second-story patio. The menu shines with perfectly aged, spice-rubbed steaks and succulent prime rib, complemented by fresh seafood and inventive sides like pistachio-crusted salmon. Recent diners on OpenTable (4.6/5 from 4470 reviews) praise the attentive, friendly staff—servers like Michelle and Neil stand out for their warmth and professionalism. The elegant ambiance, extensive wine list, and gluten-free options make it ideal for special occasions. However, some note high prices and occasional overcooked dishes. Despite minor hiccups, The Keg remains a top choice for a memorable meal in St. John’s vibrant downtown.

Got some takeout, and staff were so helpful with helping to choose celiac-friendly options! Not only was the food great, but pricing was very reasonable. Would 100% eat there again.

Great spot for supper. Had PB&J burger with gluten free bun and a pear & prosciutto side salad. Both were amazing!

Celiac-friendly with quite a few options! Eaten here several times and always enjoy it.

Didn't expect to be in St. John's but an emergency landing had us in town for a night. Went here before the airport and the atmosphere was super cool. All the food was good. Service was wonderful and Steven (of the namesake Bourbon Sour fame) even showed us the "Underbelly"- oldest room in St. John! I love that geeky stuff. To top it off, they have a gluten free fryer so I was able to have fried fish and sweet potato fries!!!

This was my first experience, and I have to say— I was thoroughly impressed! The service was exceptional. As someone with celiac, I appreciated how the staff reassured me about their careful handling of gluten-free options in the kitchen. There were so many great gluten-free choices, and for once, I felt like a normal person ordering from the menu instead of being limited to just one or two options. The food was fantastic and surprisingly well-priced. The beef tacos were absolutely incredible! I was also amazed to find that all the desserts were gluten-free, which is something I rarely encounter. We ended up getting two desserts, and both were beautifully presented and delicious! My only critique is the music made it a tinsie bit hard for us to hear one another chatting. Overall, the experience was outstanding, and we’ll definitely be back again and again!

Such an amazing place! We’re from out of town and this was an amazing date spot. The atmosphere was great, staff were lovely and very knowledgeable! They also had a lot of gluten free options or items on the menu that could be made gluten free. Everything was simple yet so tasty and the presentation was amazing.

Robert Luciani

Had a great time! There are many gluten-free options that you can choose from. The sandwiches and soup were very well made and fresh. The atmosphere was cozy with a lot of seating.

The food is decent, tasted good. They have a lot of Gluten Free Options including a chickpea roti. Our server was very good and all the staff was also. I was not too upset at the mandatory tip, but it is disappointing that some business owners think they're should be allowed to add an additional percentage. I have no complaints except for owners being greeedy. I hope they pay they staff atleast minimum wage. Be prepped to pay an automatic 18% tip for groups of 2 and more.

Katie Mark

Full gluten free menu, very knowledgeable

Had breakfast here twice during our week in St. John's, and it was worth it! So many options, and the fact that they can serve most options gluten-free (i.e. on a gluten-free bagel) was great. Unfortunately, they do not have a dedicated deep-fryer, so I wasn't able to get any of the unhealthy stuff that everyone else had, but that's okay...I appreciated the fruit substitution for the hash browns!

We were told that there were gluten free options on the menu but waited half an hour to be told there weren’t really any. Waited another 15 to pay for our drinks and leav

Dianne Wall

Came for a girls night and was not the least bit disappointed! Not only were the drinks on point, but the food was great too(especially for a celiac!) The real star of the show though was our waiter Mihalis - he absolutely made our night and gave us the best dining experience I’ve ever had. Honestly, even if the food was crap, I would go back just for his amazing personality and super entertaining service!
