Top 50 Gluten-Free Places Across Hamilton

Jason Bingham

We enjoy the food here. Everything is gluten free. Perfect amount of batter on the fish. Just the right crisp as well.

Jason Fowler

Great place for brunch! Gluten free is a huge plus if you or your partner (in my case) are celiac.

Humza Shah

Absolutely amazing pastries! 100% gluten free, plenty of vegan options as well. Customer service was incredible. I will definitely be coming back for more!

Deb Jagger

Great gluten free burgers and chicken fingers. Great service! Love this place!

Sebastian Coveyduck

Read the reviews about the gluten-free fish and chips, and decided to check it out for a date with a Celiac girl. We were blown away, crispy batter, moist tender fish, house cut fries, all in a quiet, tucked away little spot with plenty of old school diner/pub themes. Will definitely be coming back.

Gluten free food !

This was my first time shopping here. What a great experience. I needed a birthday cake last minute so I took a chance and reached out. The customer service was excellent and the gingerbread cake was absolutely delicious - everyone loved it, no-one would have guessed it was vegan and gluten free!!! Will definitely be a repeat customer. Let’s support this local business!!

Easily the best gluten free pizza I've ever eaten. The atmosphere is very fun and interesting and the theme works really well. Service was good, even with a massive table in our section we were served in good time and everyone was very pleasant.

Burgers are so good , Gluten free bun . French fries are very good

First time here this afternoon and had a fantastic experience! Staff were so lovely and the food was DELICIOUS! Can't go wrong with a poke bowl, but this was one of the best I've ever had, plus the lime and coconut pudding was an excellent treat afterward. EVERYTHING is gluten free which earns extra points for me and my celiac partner. Next time I'm in Hamilton, will 100% be stopping by! Minus one star for atmosphere because the music, while great, was a little too loud for me who is sensitive to noise.

We parked down the street in a parking lot that only accepted coins. $2/hr. (No cards accepted only coins) When you first step foot in the door it's like being punched in the nose by an old moldy cloth. 🤢 Needless to say, we stuck around because we heard that that pop punk band 'Accident Prone' from the early 2000s has been seen there. 🤘 The staff are the cool kids you jammed with in school. Friendly enough and didn't seem to mind catering to our dietary restrictions of dairy-free and gluten-free. They were very accommodating. If you are looking for Root Beer here, you won't find it. It's only Pepsi products (and even though Pepsi makes root beer, they didn't have it lol!) The BEST thing about this visit.... APORKALYPSE NOW BURGER AND SWEET POTATO FRIES!!!!! I still dream of this pork on pork product. There is nothing as good as this. The burger patty is delicious, it's topped with regular bacon that was the perfect crisp and if that wasn't enough it was topped with chunky double smoked bacon (which I hope to be buried with one day). I swapped my provolone for vegan cheese (for those with broken bellies like me) And, if that wasn't enough.... they slather this little piggy in horseradish mayo!! Like what the funk?!? Who thinks of such a glorious burger lube?!? Bottle that and sell it, you'd make a killing!! I swapped the standard fries for sweet potato fries that came with a tasty dip and it was a match made on the farm! I am STOKED that we stayed, that burger was like nothing I have ever eaten before. Thank you to whoever created it! It was simply gorgeous. I hope to be back someday to enjoy that morsel once more!

To prefix, I want to say that the staff at The Burnt Tongue have ALWAYS been great to deal with and accommodating. However, if you are a vegan, dairy free or have any dietary restrictions: AVOID THIS RESTAURANT 🚫 Their system for indicating vegan items is inherently busted. Items are marked with a “VVC” which translates to being vegan and celiac friendly on their little ordering guide. With that said, they have a little asterisk (*) that says to check about daily specials on a dish.. or something along those lines. The signage is confusing as the asterisk doesn’t say “may change what dietary restrictions are accommodated by this dish.” In my scenario, I ordered a soup marked as “VVC”… but there was cheese in the toppings. Whoever thought that putting dairy in a dish SPECIFICALLY NOTED as being vegan shouldn’t be allowed to add items to the menu. Again, the staff were fantastic at getting me a refund and courteous when on the phone. This doesn’t excuse the fact that The Burnt Tongue is negligently and FALSELY advertising dishes as being vegan/dairy free when they are, in fact, not. I should not have to ask if a vegan option is actually vegan.. this is dangerous to people who have severe food allergies and grossly incompetent. I will not be returning until they can make the appropriate changes to the listing process for their menu items. I and advising friends and family to go elsewhere until that change is made, too.

We used to come here all the time - and it was great. Then last year we went and I noticed the gluten free pizza did not taste the same as it had. Took a break from Caro, then decided to give it another go, and it is disgusting. The gluten free dough *was* the best in the city (I’ve been gluten free for 10 years and tried many places), and it appears they changed the dough. Not sure why they would change it because the last 2 times it has been horrible. Couldn’t even finish a slice. Very disappointing! Will not be returning, and I no longer will be recommending Caro as a gluten free option

I am overwhelmed with happiness from my experience at this barBURRITO today. I was recently diagnosed with Celiac, and have not been out to a fast food restaurant in months since being diagnosed. The gentleman who helped me, was AMAZING. I asked him about his Gluten Free option and asked if he could change his gloves and wipe everything down. He did, and not only that, he made sure that my items did not touch anything that was used with wheat, he made sure to offer me options that were Gluten Free Certified, he changed his gloves multiple times, and even put parchment paper between my items on the heat pad. He was SOOOO diligent and made me feel super safe and happy. I am VERY happy, and would recommend this location to other people whom are Gluten Intolerant as me. I wish I would have got his name, the guy deserves a raise! :D

Karen Riddiford

We have eaten weekend breakfast here on many occasions. The gluten free waffles are the best I've ever tasted. The coffee is great. The service is friendly. The seating is tight but worth the wait on a busy day.

Amazing! 11 of us ordered take out for curbside pick up last Friday for an office luncheon. Everyone of us enjoyed our lunch immensely. There was only 1 error for all of the orders, not a big deal. I ordered a burger with a gluten free bun, expecting the usual disappointment in this department and I was VERY pleasantly surprised. The bun was AMAZING as was the burger. Fries are not celiac safe so I opted for the chopped salad with ranch on the side. I very much enjoyed every bite!! Everyone was pleased with theirs (minus one order of fries that were plain when they were supposed to be ranch fries) but all in all, this one will remain on the list of options and I am sure we will order from here again. Thanks Memphis for a great lunch for this medical team!

8 of us went for a work gathering and I can't even begin to caution against here enough! From being sat at the incorrect table and moved, to tables thag wobble and having to finally swap thw table ourselves (after mentioning this to our server) To only.part.of our ppl getting a drink and others flagging one down, apparently the breaded cauliflower os now needed broccoli without even so much as a heads up. Orders were screwy. Salads with wrong dressing x2, I'm gluten free and ordered no bun but.got.the bun and when this was pointed out I got.a dry overcooked -borderline burnt burger without and condiments. Another of us ordered a salad.with grilled chicken only to be asked a whole.later again what protein she wanted. We were asked 2 mins after getting our apps how we were doing but not again. The restaurant was awful, service & food. As we.are management from a local store celebrating this was very disappointing. We try and support local businesses but we definitely will not be back.

Cortnee Pope

Mary was our server, very friendly. Also we loved the gluten free options!

We came here last night with friends. It was a last-minute decision to try Bangkok Spoon, and we've wanted to go for a while but never made it until now. The atmosphere is very nice, with partitions between some tables that create a more intimate setting. We tried a few dishes, including Bangkok Pad Thai, spicy noodles, tiger shrimp spring rolls, pepper beef, mixed vegetables, vegetable rice, and garlic string beans. First of all, I want to mention that our waiter was a very nice and courteous gentleman. However, he seemed to struggle with remembering some of our requests. One issue was that the spicy noodles were forgotten in our order, which was a meal for one of us. While the rest of us were eating, he was still waiting for his dish. When it finally arrived, our friend, who is celiac, had to double-check to ensure that the item was gluten-free, but it wasn’t. This led to it being taken back to the kitchen, and our friend had to wait again for his meal while we continued to eat. We tried to be patient, but with the two mix-ups, our food was getting cold. The waiter seemed eager to please but just wasn’t having the best night. We also asked for soy sauce, which was forgotten and required a reminder before it was brought to us. After all of these service issues, when the bill was delivered, the spicy noodles were not taken off our bill, which our friend had to ask to be corrected. It should have been done automatically without us needing to ask. Thank you for trying to make it better by giving us a scoop of ice cream. I hope that the waiter has better days in the future. Overall, while the food was very tasty, it wasn’t plentiful for four people, and the price was a bit high. For that price, we could’ve had an AYCE meal. While the food was good, the service had some hiccups that impacted our overall experience. I hope they can improve on that for future visits!

Amazing gluten free crust. It’s not pretty, but the flavour is great. Rare to be able to enjoy an authentic pizza with GF crust that doesn’t make you wanna cry. Great spot - would recommend to anyone. Oh and also, loved the music. Nice indie playlist at a reasonable volume that had me feeling super chill, and even bobbing my head. Thank goodness no overloud top 40 🙌

Michi Hilferink

Very happy with the gluten free and dairy free options

Leanne Gilbert

I have to eat gluten free as I'm celiac & family members kindly picked me up some GF morning glory muffins from Paisley Cafe to try. Wow...best GF muffin I've ever had!!! I will be making the 45 minute drive to see them soon (& I suspect often!) to hopefully get more muffins & try whatever other GF delights they have! I wish I still worked at McMaster University so I could visit them every day!! :-) **Update - visited in person - do be careful if celiac as server used same tongs on regular gluteny treats on the GF treats. I didn't notice the tongs weren't fresh until midway through server packing up my goodies & I ended up having to give away $30 worth of treats as I couldn't eat them. My bad, I should have asked server to use fresh tongs when I ordered.

Logan O'Hara

The sweetest staff ever!! I always feel so welcome at Mulberry :) the salty vegan cookie and cinnamon bun latte are a must. I wouldn't recommend for celiacs, but they have an awesome gf banana bread for those with an intolerance!

mark vella

Amazing food! Always freshly made. My daughter is celiac and when I let them know through a note left with my online order they called me back almost immediately to assure me that they take allergies very seriously. They took all precautions to prevent cross contamination and also had gluten free soy sauce. Atmosphere rating doesn’t really count as its take out only.

Adoria Stevens

Delicious food, great atmosphere, great staff! I have celiac disease, I react very easily, and I didn't get sick at all eating here! Most menu options can be made gluten free!

Tammie Schiller

Extremely delicious cupcakes. However, warning. I google searched “gluten free bakeries near me”. This place comes up on top. Saying gluten free. No sign that I could clearly see up front on store indicating regarding GF so my mistake I assumed the entire bakery was GF. ordered cupcakes and got sick. Obviously being celiac that’s on me to ask. But google should not have listed this up front. And perhaps better signage in store. But again my fault. Just warning my celiac comrades.

We travelled 2 hours to eat dinner here. Destination choice. Us and our friends (4 top) The dining room was busy, loud and full of laughter. The Kitchen was on a lull when we sat down for our 7 pm table, as we had a front row seat to see what they are up to. What they are "up to" is a LOT. As is the whole restaurant. Great greeting at the door, good well timed and solid service by the whole team, table visit from the Manager to say hello and chat for a minute. Very well made drinks, good wine selection by the glass, big tables, nice big chairs. Details. They have these covered. As the second rush hit, and the Kitchen crew was heading into what I know was the second stretch of service in a 10+ hour day, they did not let up. All of the parts of the dishes we ordered had their full attention. The salad, venison carpaccio and squash fritters were delicious, proportional and looked fantastic. The frites on the burger and flat iron steak (both cooked as ordered, delicious and served hot) were crisp and seasoned. The gnocchi was so good my wife purposefully did not finish so she could take some home to have the next day and my duck leg had crispy skin, soft delicious meat and slightly textured cabbage, with potatoes, proper lardons and a balance of tart mustard. There was dessert too after all of that great food, a smooth and full-of-real-vanilla-bean brulee and a light lemon tart. Espresso martinis after the meal instead of coffee. I am a full blown celiac diner who understands that there will be dishes that I just cannot have and yet I had numerous menu choices as well as un-requested thoughtful additions provided (gluten free crackers for my carpaccio) This is a restaurant business that you can go to knowing that all of the people that are here are working to put out the very best over-all experience they can, and have been doing so for the past several years. In a changing time of eating out and deciding where to go and what to get, my wife put it perfectly - "Go somewhere that can exceed your expectations" The French does just that.

I used to love stopping here on my trips to HHSC.. the old location was better, so many incredible gluten free treats. The new location the gluten free items slowly disappeared and now there is nothing :( I would love to hear why the business model completely changed and the GF breads, flours, cookbooks and baked goods are gone. Update: Not a poor taste review. I drove by today and again was wishing you would at least explain the change. You developed a clientele who was looking specifically for gluten free items and then ditched all of us with no explanation.

Chuck Beasley

Had lunch. It was good and there are lots of gluten free options

Bev Ruffo

Love the food here - some great gluten-free options. Servers are always cheerful and helpful. Not fancy, but bright and cheerful

Ajay Chaudhary

Superb place, location 10 on 10 Sufficient gluten-free and vegetarian options A must try and you will not be disappointed.

Heather Pease

They just put out a summer menu and it was excellent. Best to go with a group and share. They were able to accommodate for my celiac. Try the whipped feta. It was out of this world. The waitress was lovely and we didn’t need for anything.

Madison Deppe

Everything here is 11/10. Definitely get the salmon sushi and then watch yourself want a second one. Fries are a must. The PB espresso martini is painfully good. And they are exceptional at managing celiac/gluten intolerance. Great every time - thank you guys!

Eugene Boron

Great place my wife is gluten free and they served us a great breakfast i like the button system for the less fortunate we donated $10 today toward it keep up the good wor

Dave Toms

Drove from Oakville to visit Coven for the first time today. What a treat! All the staff were friendly and helpful. The product selection and quality was great. As someone with a few dietary restrictions (vegan for the animals and celiac for medical) I was extremely happy to find some of my favourite foods and even some new treats I'd never heard of before! Thank you, Coven. I'm looking forward to coming back again when I'm in the neighbourhood.

Sandra Ward

The room was a bit dark, we had to ask for cutlery but the food was very good. Nice size portions and a choice of Gluten Free options.

Nanci Despond

We had food delivered so no atmosphere. Our pizza was very good, arrived quickly and was still hot (we don’t live far from the location at all). Loved the 1/2 price deal, even for hubby’s gluten free pizza!

Cody Alexander

MYSTIC RAMEN IS THE BEST. Some of the best flavours I’ve ever tasted have been here. The staff are all so welcoming and enthusiastic. You can tell they all genuinely enjoy the food and love working there. The owner Heather, is so sweet - very involved and attentive to guests experiences. The decor is super cool and it always feels so cozy and intimate even when all tables are full! The Lava Lounge is a recent addition to their seating options - it’s super cute/cool!! They project anime on the wall which is awesome! (please play Demon Slayer sometime 😉) They offer delicious gluten free options (noodles too!) which is amazing for my wife! They’re really careful with allergies and such, so I’m pretty sure it would be a great ramen option for someone with Celiac. When family and friends visit from out of town, Mystic Ramen an essential stop! With so many amazing restaurants, Hamilton has no shortage of delicious food but it’s safe to say that Mystic Ramen is in my top 3 favourite restaurants in the city! *You guys are amazing!!! Thank you for giving us a beautiful experience every single time we come in ♡*

Amy P

One of our favorite restaurants in Hamilton! When we dine in, the staff are always so friendly. We like to get the katsu curry and karaage donburi - both delicious, and gluten-free! Looking forward to trying their sushi soon. 😊

Dawn Stowell

ALL their waffles are GF gluten free by default. Default was never so delicious as this! The Belgium Waffles had a perfect texture with a buttery moist chewy yet delicate airy interior and a crispy golden exterior. You can't make them better than this! Yum!! Thank you for sharing your talent 🙏

Coco C

Great little coffee shop with incredible staff! Can’t thank you guys enough for accommodating celiacs with the best gluten free croissants. Highly recommend this place for great quality coffee and hospitality!!!

Andrea Ziedenberg

I would give this place a million stars if I could. Incredibly kind and friendly staff. Food was excellent AND so gluten free friendly. Being celiac usually means I have to skip home fries and toast but not here! We had egg, bacon, toast, home fries and the breakfast BLT made gluten free. Highly recommend. If I’m ever back in Hamilton I will be going here!

Amanda Bell

Jessica T was great - super personable and just enough of checks without being annoying. Thanks for gluten free options!!

Heather Pease

A funky vibe with a good retro decor. The service was excellent, especially dealing with allergies. For gluten free, everything except the pancakes/french toast is either gf or can be made gf. Great cocktails too. Try the brussel sprouts dishes!

Lucia Norma Di Pietro

Julia was our server she was so friendly and knew facts about gluten free very helpful and attentive

Lynda D.

My first time here and I will definitely be back. We dined in, but there was a lot of takeout happening as well. People really love this place. I was thrilled to learn that most things here are gluten-free. Absolutely delicious and lots and lots of options. Paulhul Kari pikka - tendo grilled chicken and herbs and spices and it was amazing Rogan Jash Kashmiri

Cordelia

Highly recommend this restaurant for your business lunches. The weekday lunch staff are incredible. Attentive, very friendly and courteous about special requests and allergy accommodations. Seriously amazing servers. The prices are higher than a place like Kelseys, but the quality and portion sizes you receive definitely make it worthwhile. There are areas for larger groups to be seated together, as well as lots of booths for more intimate meetings. Lots of appetizer options to share among groups, and vegetarian and gluten free menus. They've also added some new alcohol-free cocktails which is great for the daytime and non-drinking-but-still-want-to-participate folks. Highly recommend the Curry Bowl and the Hell of a Burger. Clean restrooms. The parking isn't great but that isn't their fault as the plaza is still under construction.

Charlie Pickles

The atmosphere is fine, not very high end but not a pub. Service is good, the server didn't stand out in anyway but I was part of a large group of 12/13 so it can be a lot for a server. I had calamari to start, and it was excellent, super tender and the batter was light and crisp. The mussels in beer sauce, which were a tad overcooked, the mussels were quite small, and the sauce was extremely salty, normally I drink up all the broth/sauce from mussels and I couldn't with these. I also had a gluten free pizza, traditional, with garlic. I've had worse gluten free crusts, and I've had better. The toppings were more like a delivery pizza place than what I'd expect from a traditional Italian restaurant. I ordered a bourbon old fashioned, and I don't think they knew how to make it because I just got a rocks glass of bourbon, ice and an orange peel lol. I was looking at the other things the rest of the group were getting, I wasn't super impressed, the carbonara looked too thick and chunky, the garden salads were heavy on iceberg and light on every thing else. I just think with the prices it should have been a little better. I've gone to east side Mario's and had equal/better for less.

Allure Fitness Inc

Every meal at The Express is amazing! They have delicious food, gluten free options, and are absolutely hands down my favourite neighbourhood restaurant! Always friendly, accommodating and will go the extra mile to make sure your experience is top notch. I highly recommend that you get over there for lunch or dinner and get yourself a grilled vegetable salad (with chicken if you eat that!)!
