Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots Across Toronto with Dedicated GF Fryers

KM

My husband has celiac and so we never eat anywhere that is 100% GF. I had read great reviews online about Riz’s and when we were there on a trip I pushed for us to go and try it. I am so glad I did, every dish we tried was delicious. I loved how soft and tender the dumplings were, the Peking duck and wrappers were amazing. The Peking dumpling special were so flavorful and tender. We over ordered at the table knowing we would take it all back to the hotel for us to to reheat and eat the rest of the week. Peking Duck for breakfast is something everyone should try, it was amazing the next morning still. The owner was so gracious and friendly, we listened to every recommendation and was thrilled with everything we had. We even took one of each dessert home and they were all amazing. I highly recommend eating here for celiacs and non celiacs alike. It is so wonderful to find a place that understands the importance of a GF completely safe no cross contamination kitchen AND also makes the most delicious Asian food you can have. While we didn’t have every item on the menu we did try a lot of plates and every single plate was delicious. We will ALWAYS come back when in Toronto, this restaurant is such a win, I wish they delivered to Brooklyn 🥰

Amazing 100% gluten free restaurant

As a celiac, I was almost glutened here. When I asked a server if the beer was gluten free, I was told everything on the menu was. But when my lager arrived, the bottle listed barley. I double checked with another server, who confirmed it wasn’t gluten free, apologized, and kindly brought me a quinoa-based beer instead (which was good, just a little warm). I don’t want to be too harsh. Overall, the food was great, and it’s such a gift to have a spot where I can enjoy a tres leches cake without fear. But this experience is a good reminder to always double check, even in places that seem safe. It also highlights how important it is for all staff to be fully trained on gluten and allergens.

Absolutely worth going to. Yes my short review is biased, but if you read the longer version below. It’ll make sense. Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Speed: 10/10 For the longer review - those who care to read: I won't pretend the restaurant is like a five-star hotel. In comparison to your top high-end luxury restaurants, it would be four stars. But you can't compare apples to oranges. The one most crucial thing to note is the belief, the idea, and the story behind the restaurant. They are specially tailored to people who have strict allergy requirements. My personal needs are to avoid gluten, nuts, egg, and more. Try that anywhere else…. Most places will just "nicely" shoo you away—and while I understand any restaurant ultimately is a business to cater to the masses, those of us who have strict, deathly dietary requirements can finally experience a place to dine without fear. To enjoy a time with family and friends eating the same things. To experience the fun and joy of picking at another person's plate. For those reasons, and to me, it's better than any Michelin-star restaurant. If you have allergies to gluten, if you have celiac disease, you can finally share the experience too. You may come out an emotional train wreck like me.

Sushi was delicious and great gluten free options. Staff was wonderful and tables were clean, as well as the rest of the establishment. Great experience would recommend.

Absolutely LOVE this spot, have eaten in-restaurant twice over the last year, and ordered delivery multiple times, with someone Celiac at home we have NEVER had any issues with gluten! Food is delicious and fresh, service is spectacular, honestly absolutely love this place! We’ve had oysters, fish & chips, tacos, poutine (also a fan of their vegan options for poutine, garlic aioli and tartar sauce!), their deep fried Oreos are to die for, and the selections for beers and drinks are always nice! (Ps, sorry for the almost demolished food pic, have tried and failed to take a picture before digging in for almost a year now)

! Celiac disease friendly ! So many options/substitutions for celiacs. My husband was able to enjoy a breakfast sandwich with home fries... that looked and tasted great! The pricing was fair and affordable which was also a plus. This will be our go to spot when visiting Toronto.

Nicole Smith

Wow! I was visiting from the states for a concert that got cancelled but I guess that was a blessing in disguise as that gave us a chance to stop here to eat. The owner/server was friendly and accommodating. The food was fantastic! I have celiac so I was absolutely drawn here for the GF options. They asked about dietary restrictions up front and I felt comfortable and safe. The food was delicious and my non GF fiancé loved it as well. Dedicated fryers are hard to come by (at least back home) so I took advantage of having one of my old favorites, poutine! It was perfectly layered so each bite was tasty, not like a lot of places that will just dump the gravy and cheese on top leaving you with a plate of dry fries underneath. It was also my first crab cake in years, and it really took me back to the Lexington Market in Baltimore when I was younger (it was actually better). The margarita hit the spot and the homemade hot sauce was super tasty. I will 100% be stopping back next time in I’m Toronto, thank you so much!!!

Shana S

Delicious mini tarts. Loved the pecan for sweet and the beef for savory !

Christina Stair

Fantastic service, they were so kind and happy to help us when we visited. Food was amazing, and everything can be prepared gluten free in dedicated appliances so there is no crosscontamination. Would definitely come back if we are in town!

Absolutely blown away by Rouge Kitchen! We discovered this gem through the Find Me Gluten Free app and it exceeded all expectations. Dining with someone with celiac, I’m always cautious for them, but Jeff and Jo are incredibly knowledgeable and allergy-aware—they took the time to explain their processes and made us feel completely safe. Nearly everything on the menu can be made gluten free, and they have a dedicated fryer, which is so rare and appreciated. The rotating menu keeps things exciting, and you can really taste the care and quality in every small-batch, homemade dish. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. The food is always fresh, delicious, and made to order—highlights for us were the chicken tenders and Mac n cheese! They are so friendly and helpful, making every visit feel special. If you’re looking for a place that truly understands gluten-free and allergy needs, Rouge Kitchen is a must-visit in Scarborough and worth the drive. Highly recommend! Five stars!

Sara Pezzella

Gluten free pizza and sushi are all phenomenal!

Meag Moar

Visiting Toronto from US. This is our first time at a Burger’s Priest and it will definitely not be the last. We are so thoroughly impressed with how delicious the food was here. We thought it was going to be like any other fast food burger joint, but it was definitely better. We ordered burgers, fries, a hotdog, and a milkshake. All delicious. We have a gluten allergy in the family and the gluten-free bread was so much better than any they’ve had.Nina greeted us with a huge smile and was super accommodating

Dipankar Arora

Healthy food. While ordering I was told that everything here is gluten free. I tried K & K lasagna.

Stephanie

I am embarrassingly obsessed with the sriracha pineapple cauliflower wings here. They’re gluten-free, dairy-free, sweet, spicy, crispy, and served on a bed of crunchy kale. It’s technically an appetizer it’s honestly a full meal lol. The portion is huge and so so good. Whenever I’m hungry and don’t know what I want, my boyfriend knows to just pick these up for me and I’ll be a happy girl. We’re moving out of the city soon, so they shared the recipe for the wings and the sauce with me for when I’m craving it - 10/10 staff. Whether you're plant-based or not, get them.

Eric Shaw

Gluten restriction or not, this place did not disappoint with food or drinks! Service was also some of the best. Wish I could remember our server's name because he was awesome and knowledgeable of the menu.

Alison Wills

Great gluten free menu The fries were so good. Can't wait to go back

Laureano Ottonello Tanno

Excellent Latino restaurant with gluten-free options. Thank you, we will definitely come back!

Varsha Dinodia

My to-go dinning joint when I wish to eat at Toronto’s BEST vegan and plant based fine dining cuisine at Planta- Toronto Queen Street location. From wait staff to servers and of-course the food- the bestest of ALL. I have soy and gluten allergy and the kitchen took care of my dietary request-with utmost love and care. I enjoyed my meal very much like always and I have been a patron for almost 10 years now. Because Planta is Planta. Thankyou :)

Jodi Kipp

Great place for gluten & dairy free food!!

Maddie Todd

Always great to find a gluten free option! Food was delicious!

Harsh Brar

I recently visited the burger priest and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was top-notch. The Specially gluten free was amazing and were particularly impressive, making the visit memorable. And they were top of my allergy note. A big shoutout to KOMAL for recommending this spot and burgwr. Hardly restaurant have gluten free burger but i really love the gluten bun and always priest burger is the best burger it truly exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to returning soon!"

Erica M

I love Beertown. Not just because they satisfy my foodie cravings for meat, nutrition and flavour…but also because they cater to the dairy and gluten-free side of me with an ENTIRE MENU OF GOODNESS.

Joel Abram

Our server Karan was so great and fantastic and was so knowledgeable about the menu. The food was pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good. We were especially excited about the gluten free options and the first good gluten free poutine we've seen in years. The milkshake was delicioso yum yum yum yum. The rooftop patio was skibbity.

Gabrielle Watson

Unfortunately they ran out of the food I really wanted to try (the achiote chicken quesadilla), but the rancheros were really good anyways. Loved the homemade hot sauce and ketchup as well. My partner and friend thought their iced coffee was a little watered down tasting/not strong enough, but even for them the food made up for it. They had the brisket hash. Really cute place, the patio looked like a nice set up as well. Good options for people who eat vegetarian and gluten free. Service was friendly and attentive as well!

Dave Smith

Dave's Genuine is comfort food—pure and simple—especially if you grew up eating deli sandwiches, or Kosher favorites like matzoh ball soup. The turkey club is probably my favorite sandwich of all time, and Dave's Genuine makes a killer one. Best of all, it can be made gluten-free—safe for someone who has Celiac disease, like me. In fact, Dave's Genuine makes a real effort to accommodate gluten allergies because the owner's daughter also has Celiac, so he understands the ins and outs of cross contamination. In my most recent order, Dave's even sent me a free batch of fries with a kind note on it, promising they're prepared separately and fried in their own GF fryer. After trying these fries for the first time—crispy and light, by the way—I knew I needed to write this review. The customer service here is truly impeccable, and so is the quality of the food. Pro-tip: Try the smoked meat, it's insanely good.

Helen Thomas

Had a wonderful experience this weekend with Babs the Bartender! The cocktails she made were impeccable, my absolute favourite was the Watermelon Sling. As someone who is also gluten-free, Babs knows the menu inside and out and recommended the Blackened Chicken Sandwich protein style with the LPE salad. (had not regrets!) Will definitely be coming back, thanks Babs!

Michaela Storoschuk

WOW. For a Thursday, what an experience. It was a vibrant, energetic dining experience. I have a gluten and dairy allergy. Worry? NEVER! The wait staff were diligent, caring and prompt. Immaculate. And all the food was a tasty lil treat to the palette. And BONUS… cocktail hour 😎

Philip

They certainly have the best gluten free buns in Toronto

Flyfisher Jo

As a Celiac, it can be difficult to find restaurants where I can safely eat. I dropped in to No Bull for lunch just to see if they could accommodate my diet and was amazed at just how prepared they were. The beef has no filler, they have gluten-free buns and they even have a dedicated fryer (which isn’t a perfect guarantee but I didn’t react to the fries). The server was cheerful and helpful, the food tasted great, I was only sorry the outside patio wasn’t opened because it was the first sunny day in a week! At least I have a safe place to eat in the Beach.

Tristan Denobrega

Best gluten free poutine always made fresh for me !

Karen Mazer

Always a great burger and fries. Love the gluten free options.

Shannon R

Great for kids and lots of gluten free options, had a hard time deciding

Virginia May

Our server Norah was very helpful in assuring my meal was gluten free which is my diet preference.

L A

Excellent service, many gluten free, dairy free, and alcohol free options!

Amy Reuben

Fabulous meal for my birthday! Clare was a really great server, very much at ease with all questions, and checked with us without intruding on our meal/conversation. The chef provided a special gluten-free/dairy free dessert for me, too. How special!

Kate Holtby

Tashi was very helpful when I asked about gluten free options! She was knowledgeable and assured me that there wouldn't be any cross contamination of my food.

Devesh Sharma

I really enjoy all of their gluten free empanadas.

Jordyn Kimel

Lior Seidel

Jake Robinson

Delicious, filling burger. More than that, though, were the friendly and considerate staff! They have yummy gluten-free options available as well.

Alexandra Motorina

We had a fantastic experience at the restaurant, and a big part of that was thanks to our server, Vanessa. She was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, especially when it came to accommodating a celiac allergy. Vanessa took the time to walk us through the gluten-free options, double-checked with the kitchen, and made sure everything was safe and delicious. Her friendly and professional approach made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. Highly recommend—ask for Vanessa if you have dietary needs or just want great service!

Cody Lee

This is the closest thing in Toronto I've had to the amazing street tacos I had in South Central. Everything is GLUTEN FREE as well! (Obviously double check when you're there, but as a gluten intolerant, I feel more than safe eating here)

Alvin Harvey

Oz Bit

They make a very good burger. Drinks are bottomless. Staff was hugely accommodating and gave me extra gravy with my poutine. I did find the poutine to be a bit over salted, hence the deduction. They have vegan burgers and gluten-free buns, too. Tater tots were a great nostalgic offering. They also are quite accommodating with the menu and have a featured burger on special each day.

Emily Weber

If I could give 10 stars I would. Our server Krista was amazing. I have celiac disease - a severe gluten allergy, and she knew exactly what to recommend on the menu. I split the steak frites and rigatoni alla vodka with my friend. Both were incredible. The fries have a designated frier making them fully gluten free and they also have gluten free noodles. Everything was very fairly priced for the quality you’re receiving. My group was also celebrating a birthday and they went above and beyond taking care of us, bringing him an amazing pavlova dessert - gluten free as well! The ambiance and decor of the restaurant is absolutely stunning. They have a 5-7 happy hour as well and everyone at my table loved their cocktails! Overall, I will definitely be returning and I would highly recommend to anyone (especially people with celiac)!!

Gail Arnold

Juanita Feltman

Ashley Capern

This was the first time in a long time I could order almost anything on the menu and it could be made gluten free. They have a dedicated fryer and a gluten free desert! Staff were all very knowledgeable I’ve been multiple times now.
