Amazing!

Nikita Crane

I’d avoid the GF bun it’s very dry and crumbly but they the most celiac safe place I know! Dedicated fryers, very knowledgeable staff and amazing GF fried chicken! When you order online they even have a celiac option to check off.

Lily Kane

100% GF Lots of options Staff really nice

Danielle Truong

Delicious fish and chips, super appreciate the separate frier for gluten free items.

Celiac approved and delicious

Jessica Kearney

Amazing little find! I had the sausage breakfast bagel it tasted like Tim Hortons ! Donuts are amazing too!

J T

Always fantastic food and friendly service! Online stuff needs work though - online ordering perpetually says "coming soon" and the website menu is often out of date. But I'll give them a pass for that because the ability to go to a restaurant as a celiac and safely order anything I want off the menu is so fantastically wonderful I can't take a star off for such a small oversight.

Only Chinese restaurant I’ve ever come across that had GF options!!

Heidi Smith

Celiac friendly They have a dedicated fryer and their staff are super friendly and conscientious. It is such a relief to be treated so kindly when you have food allergies. The food is scrumptious and being by the water on a sunny afternoon/evening is a little piece of heaven.

A fine dining place facing white rock pier . Gluten free options are there

Ada S.

We came from Barcelona for a bite to eat. The food and service were excellent, attentive to everything and welcoming. A very good option for celiacs and highly recommended in general!

Wendy Fraser

Best fish and chips in the valley!! And gluten free as well.

Ruby Wineck

Stumbled upon this gem while on my way to the ferry… 100% gluten free menu and the most delicious fish and chips ever! I loved the house salad as well. We sat outside and the vibes were casual and very relaxing. Service was also very quick. Highly recommend!

Regular crust pizza is okay but not remarkable. Gluten-friendly crust pizza leaves to be desired. Home artisan potatoes are soft and don’t taste freshly made at all. Customer service is great; very thorough with modifications. We enjoyed their home made lemonade.

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! ❤️🌷🙏

Cheri Miles

I go here every time I'm in Sidney. The gluten free options are amazing 🤩

Emily R

Completely separate prep area, fryer, etc. Celiac safe :) So many choices for GF dishes, and great!

danisa

Fave gluten free bakery in Kits. The turkey & cheese croissant is a favorite. Alongside their paninis and sweet baked goods. I enjoy stopping here for takeout to bring to the beach for a morning breakfast or late lunch.

Ivo S

So many amazing GF options - almost 90% of the menu is naturally or can be made GF!

Went for dinner with my spouse on Father's Day. We barley even waited before we were sat at a table. Honestly I was very surprised given the day we were dining. Out server was really warm and attentive. He suggested and I ordered the Pink Gin Froze and it was really nice. Not too sweet but tasty. Would order again. Let our server know we had both Celiac and dairy allergy at our table and was very accommodating. I ordered the Chicken Parm burger on a gf bun with a side of gf mac & cheese. IT WAS SO GOOD and everything I wanted and hoped it would be. The sandwich packed with flavour and the perfect amount of messy. The mac & cheese was cooked perfectly with the gf noodles not overdone and the sauce thick and cheesy. My other half got the BLT chicken sandwich with fries. He really enjoyed it as well. If there is only one suggestion we could make it would be to offer dairy free cheese for the burgers. It's so hard to find dairy free cheese burgers literally anywhere. Given the how the menu is already set up, it would be a cool add on. Anyways, it didn't matter all that much because the chicken burgers were still amazing! We were too full for dessert as tempting as it looked on the menu. Such a great local gem and I look forward to visiting again!

Jamie Renney

Amazing food and service! I hadn't been here in a while and it's so much better. I can't believe the wing sauces are made in-house and celiac friendly. So much better than the generic flavours.

Ali Crossley

Absolutely fantastic. Quick service and amazing gluten free options on menu….you wouldn’t even know it was vegan ;) the Kalimari is a absolute game changer!

Sean McEvoy

Subpar vegan cheeses and gluten free pizza. Good garlic knots. Overrated and costly for low quality food

Nikita Crane

Fried chicken, dedicated fryers and beer

Sean K

Food was… overall very salty. Not sure if this is how it is suppose to be but from antipasti to pastas, they were all honestly quite salty. Ingredients may be fresh which we would like to appreciate but they are just too salty to be enjoyed. On the other hand, the service was great with solid gluten free options.

Lana Fedora

In heaven. Most items are or can be made safe for celiac. Had the Yum Bowl…sooooo good. The best part though? GLUTEN FREE ONION RINGS. They were just incredible. If you’re able, come down and chow down. It’s definitely worth it.

Peter Longhurst

We've eaten here and had a great experience. Most recently I just dropped by to pick up some take out. Awesome for celiacs :)

Andrea

My office recently had lunch provided by Red Tomato Pies and it is some of the best pizza I've had. Great variety of options, it's hard to choose! We had the Luau, Chicken Club, and Godfather. All had generous toppings and were delicious. We had a Vegan/Gluten free Bruschetta pizza as well, and if you weren't told, you wouldn't know it was vegan. This will be my new go to for pizza night :)

Lambda Faun

This is a completely unprecedented gluten-free haven. The last time I had a gluten free pizza, it was getting close to 40$ for one small one. Here, I paid 20$ and could hardly finish it I was so full (and I'm 150 KG). Loaded with flavour and protein, and as a bonus it was keto. I had a gluten-free keto tiramisu, and it was everything you could possibly ask for from a tiramisu. Perfect. This place is a must-see for anyone following a gluten free, keto, or really any alternative diet. As a celiac of 16 years, this place has my blessing.

Debbie

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.

Justin Malhi

Service and atmosphere are great but food is beyond mid and overpriced considering the lack of real flavour, definitely not the most enjoyable sushi, iki is miles better for gluten free folks. But this place was alright.

Ronda Stewart

Let me start with “I don’t leave a review very often”. We ate at Sopra Sotto two nights in a row it was that good. The first night we took a seat at the bar rather than wait for a table and the second night we asked to sit at the bar because of the wonderful service and interactions we had with Ruairi. Ruairi not only entertained us while we watched him making multiple cocktails but he also made great menu recommendations. The Gnocchi with Braised Beef, Rigatoni Fume Pasta and Lava Chocolate dessert were amazing. This is the best restaurant we have been to in seven weeks of travelling. The name of the restaurant is misleading because whilst the pizzas looked amazing it has quite an extensive variety of pasta, antipasti and desserts with a great wine list and cocktails. I ordered gluten free pasta and desert to share with my husband and he couldn’t tell the difference….their gluten free options are that good.

Mandy Santana

The BEST fish and chips that I’ve had in a long time and the fact that it was gluten free made it so much better! The service is excellent and the food was delicious! Definitely recommend to everyone 👌🏼👏🏼

Kaila Motz

BEST PLACE FOR GLUTEN FREE/VEGAN FINE DINING!!! Super fancy, absolutely delicious, amazing atmosphere with the live musicians. My fiance and I were swooning over how luxurious our anniversary dinner was. Its been a long time since we've found a place that meets our dietary restrictions AND makes us feel like we had a real fancy night out. Cannot recommend this place enough. Also, try the silk route feast! Its worth every penny!!🤤

Joel Tanner

Saw them on *you gotta eat here* and the meatloaf was truly out of this world. Gluten free waffles were great too ... and holy smokes the endless coffee

Darina Stegnii

Absolutely incredible place! Very nice atmosphere, friendly and fast service, delicious bright and sophisticated menu. Gluten-free dishes. I recommend to everyone!

Annie Yang

The menu is SO CLEARLY LABELED! I can’t have gluten or dairy and I had the most fabulous dinner! The cider was also lovely. Kind staff that take allergies very seriously

Linda Gavsie

Lots of options for celiacs

Sarah Desrosiers

The food: Phenomenal. The smoothies are great, the bowls are savory and full of great stuff, the banh mi wrap is my all time favourite... everything is good, filling and healthy! One of the only places I can eat at that doesn't hurt my stomach afterwards (the girls get it). They serve fast, it's easy to order ahead and have meals that are ready to be taken out and cooked at home. The service: Even better. They are kind, accommodating, personable and don't judge you when you've ordered the same thing three days in a row. The location: Feels like a community space. They always have posters of local events, host local artists and it is wheelchair accessible! Based on all my experience there, I'd also say they are neurodivergent friendly - always patient, don't mind repeating themselves and are willing to adjust. FYI: I'm not vegan or gluten-intolerant. :) I just love good food. Keep it up!

Nikolina Boundy (Nina)

You know a pizza is good when you can eat the crust without having to dip it in sauce. Excellent stuff! Will definitely come back. Customer service was fantastic. Kitchen looks super clean. I am not celiac but I saw a customer come in to pickup a GF pie and the gentleman washed his hands before touching the box again to give to the customer. Great stuff!

Nikita Crane

Lots of GF celiac safe goodies my personal fav is the turtle cheesecake. You can also buy their products at Save On Foods frozen. Such a cute little bookshop and cafe but always packed!

Donna Macdonald

What a great place for a Celiac to eat. Not only do they have a Gluten Free menu but they also have a dedicated part of the kitchen to prepare food With a dedicated fryer. A couple of options for a great GF beer as well.

Erik Standaert

East is East is hands-down one of the most unique and soulful dining experiences you’ll find in the city. From the moment you walk in, you’re enveloped by the cozy, bohemian vibe—dim lighting, live music, and aromatic spices drifting from the kitchen. The décor and ambiance transport you somewhere between Istanbul and Kathmandu. I highly recommend the “Chai Feast”—a rotating selection of dishes from across the Silk Road served tapas-style. Every bite is rich, layered, and made with love. Personal standouts: the Afghan eggplant, lamb kebabs, and the mango butternut squash stew. And don’t miss their house chai—refillable, spiced to perfection, and served with a smile. The staff are warm and knowledgeable, and the entire experience feels like you’re a guest in someone’s beautifully curated home. Whether you’re a meat-eater, vegan, or gluten-free, there’s something flavorful and nourishing here for you. This isn’t just dinner—it’s a cultural experience. Perfect for date night, out-of-town visitors, or when you just need a warm soul-hug in the form of food.

Monika Gerow

Staff at Cook st. Village location are just so kind and truly make the visit! Gluten free burgers serve. So good. Love this little spot!

D L

Not celiac safe. Cross contamination.

Alice Trombley

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. ❤️

Mariah Sobey

best tacos and all gluten free!!

Fiona L

Absolutely loved that this restaurant is 100% gluten free! However the service and food was mediocre. The chicken tajine was well flavoured and a good portion to price, however the rice was quite dry to the point where it was a bit crunchy…. The braised beef sandwich was very disappoint. For the price it’s very small and didn’t really have any of the toppings listed in the menu. Service was slow and not very coordinated, by the time I received my dish everyone else at the table was already done eating. The chicken waffle sandwich was actually very good and a good portion for the price!

Sydney Young

My friend and I were in the neighborhood on a weekend so we planned to eat here for lunch. I'd eaten here before, but my friend hadn't. I (Celiac disease) had the Penny Burrito in a bowl with cheese and loved it, especially the cumin potatoes. My friend (vegan) had breakfast tacos and was happy to have a good tofu scramble. We'd definitely come here again.

Jamie Potter

We were here from Ontario, and read that they served gluten free burgers and fries (my wife and son both have Celiac Disease). They were delicious!! Best burger and fries they've had, and my other two sons and I both loved our non gluten free burgers too. We all liked everything so much we came back a second time during our visit! Excellent and friendly service. Highly recommend!
