Top 12 Gluten-Free Spots Across Downtown Victoria

Be love is quite literally the best restaurant we've ever dined at. We've been several times now and have never been disappointed. The quality and portions are consistent, flavors are unbelievable. Everything is so fresh, you can really feel the love poured into every dish. A dream spot for anyone who is vegan and/or gluten free but ive also dined there with friends who are neither who have said it's the best food they've had. Keep doing what you're doing, its magic! ❤️🌷🙏

Thank you for making pizza that I can actually eat that tastes amazing. Finding a gluten-free/dairy-free pizza that doesn’t taste like chemicals and sadness is a true feat. ❤️

While it was great they had gluten free waffle options, you only get 1 Belgium waffle and if you’re hungry, it won’t be enough. An order of thick cut bacon on the side helped fill the void. Oat milk for our coffees was nice, and the coffee cup sizes are kind of small given the $5 charge. Overall, it was decent - it was a breakfast start to a busy morning - but we’d likely go elsewhere for more value and larger portions.

FOOD POISONING ALERT: I went to Finn’s seafood chops cocktails last night in hopes to eat some fresh local seafood while visiting Victoria BC. In short I ended up with a whole night of vomiting due to food poisoning. I ordered the crispy skin BC sablefish for my main and I shared a dozen of their oysters. I believe I have gotten sick from the sablefish I ordered mainly because my friend did not have any issues from the oysters and my symptoms along with the vomiting is a lot that come along with scombroid poisoning ie: tingling and burning sensations around the mouth, facial flushing, sweating, nausea, vomiting, headache, palpitations, dizziness, and rash. Scrombroid poisoning is a foodborne illness that typically results from eating spoiled fish. We chose this restaurant due to the great reviews we found through our google search and the location of it being right off the harbour. The service was wonderful, I’m not sure of our servers name but she was very kind and attentive to our orders. As I am celiac and she ensured to make sure all of our plates would not have any cross contamination. The food was delicious, we all enjoyed our plates. However I do question how well the fish I ate was properly handled or if there was improper temperature control from the time of catch to consumption. I would consider Finn’s a fine dining restaurant and I would expect for a $300 meal, the place would have top notch food quality and proper food storage and preparation. I had higher hopes for their standards. I am on vacation and now recovering from food poisoning, this is not how I wanted to spend my time visiting B.C. I would not come back to this restaurant nor would I recommend it. I am also turned off of eating fish for a long time now. Feeling not impressed at the moment.

The beer was good. The service was good. Unfortunately the food was not good. We came for the gluten free fish and chips. They were heavily deep fried and over cooked with a tiny thin layer of fish. Worst fish ever. The calamari was good and fried well so why was the fish over done? They did remove the charge but dinner was a disappointment.

Great staff, delicious food and reasonable prices. Lots of gluten free options for my partner.

I explicitly asked for gluten free noodles due to an allergy, the cashier misunderstood and made gluten noodles. Spoke to owner and they weren’t willing to remake or refund :(

Celiac friendly. Gluten free fryer for fries and gluten free gravy. Delicious gf poutine. So glad we stopped by.

The Tan Tan Ramen has the most delicious Vegan Mushroom broth and can be done with Gluten free noodles!!!

We needed gluten free and we were very happy to know that they have a dedicated gluten free menu and they use a dedicated gluten free fryer for their food. It can be really hard to find a lot of places like this, but this is by far my favourite place to eat in Victoria! I really want to thank everyone there who made it very easy to find safe food for us.

As a celiac, this place was easy to share plates (something we don't often get to do with our friends and family). Loved all the GF options on the menu and the variety. Food was so delicious.
