100% GF Lots of options Staff really nice

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.

I love their gluten free batter! Always a good time and the food is fresh!

Celiac approved and delicious

I really wanted to enjoy my meal but I was so disappointed. The Caribbean chicken bowl I ordered was very poor. I had four 1-inch pieces of dry chicken. No juices or sauce, which should surely be there if it's 'braised'. There was a lot of rice, but it was so dry. The vegetables were ok, I really liked the carrots. That was it! I was so happy to find a gluten-free restaurant, but it was a big letdown.

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

Love this place. They do both gluten free and standard baked goods plus a big variety of vegan treats and they're all spectactulor. They recently open a coffee shop inside too. The bougie drinks are a little on the sweet side for my taste but I can't argue with the quality. It's delicious! (the cold brew especially). I'm in trouble with them so convenitently close to my office.

First time at the fish store and tried the gluten free halibut. Staff were very knowledgeable and asked if this was Celiacs. Lots of choices on menu and fish and fries turned out very tasty!

Kyle Embley

Horrendous experience. We recently heard that this restaurant could cater to those with Celiac disease. So we gave it an go today!! Everyone was excited. After asking repeatedly to confirm everything is gluten free and free from cross contamination, before/during/after, we were assured it was. My 10 year old is now violently ill. I might point out that it was 2:00pm when dined and we were the only table there. All any parent of a child with Celiac asks is that a restaurant is just honest on whether they can guarantee gluten free food and possibility of cross contamination (within reason). If you can’t, we’ll bring something with us!! The severity of the reaction my son experiences is always in proportion to the amount gluten he ingests. If it’s a slight cross contamination, it’s usually a couple trips to the toilet to vomit, bit of Tylenol then he’s good. The severity of this particular attack tells me it was direct ingestion of wheat. We’re moments away from going to the hospital. To the waitress that served us and the owner of this establishment…shame on you. I wish you were here watching my child experience the effects of your neglect. Watching your child suffer like this is heartbreaking. While I’m on it…the service was terrible too. Seeing as how we were the only table in the place, why did I have to go to the bar to tell her we were ready to order, again to order a drink, then again to ask for the bill. The Canadian guilt in me still left a 15% tip. Regret that now. Edit to this post after the fact…Owner contacted me and refunded money. Offered up apology. He did clarify that food is prepared in same kitchen so avoidance of cross contamination cannot be guaranteed. He said staff are supposed to tell the customers this. He’s committed to retraining and educating.

This is one of my favourite hidden gems in Kelowna. I don’t normally eat seafood or much fish. But this place changed that for me. The fish they bring in is so fresh and of such high quality. The batter is so thin and crispy. It’s also gluten free. The cod and halibut are my favourites. The tartar sauce is amazing. The coleslaw is one of my favs also. The service is excellent. They also serve wine and beers and cocktails. The happy hour has many great choices. A definite must try in Kelowna.

Had a lovely pizza and Choc brownie, highly recommend it, but what made the place so memorable was the server Sienna who was awesome and the young chef who took the time to ensure we enjoyed our meal. The only downside was that the gluten free pizza crust my buddy had was not so good but edible.

Ron O.

We liked it so much that we went twice! The restaurant served super-clean gluten-free food. The servers were knowledgeable, kind, and easy to smile.

Debbie Stirling

All I can say is WOW!! Being gluten free and being off dairy right now I thought my days of poutine were over! The vegan/gluten-free poutine is so delicious and such a generous portion! The gluten-free deep fried pickles are crunchy and tasty. The service was incredibly fast, easy by phone/app with updates and all. I was greeted with a smile and positive energy when I walked in the door. I will 1000% be back again!!

No MSG No Garlic Foodie

We decided to visit Victoria after finding several restaurants offering vegan food. Since Be Love is dedicated vegan and also gluten free, it was my first choice. However, there wasn't that many items on the menu to my taste, but since they promise seasonal items, I had hoped that there would be some pleasant surprises. The rest of my party decided to order organic red and white wines by the glass. I chose Earthblood Tonic juice made with carrot, beet, celery, kale and ginger. It was very refreshing and looked stunning. The Mac Bowl appealed to me because it claimed to have braising greens, seasonal vegetable, and broccoli. I was warned that the sauce contains garlic, but I took a chance hoping that it would be black garlic rather than fresh garlic. Fortunately, the garlic was hardly noticeable and I was not affected. It was a very rich dish and I loved the creamy taste of the sauce. The roasted hazel nuts were strange and tasted as though the vegetables still had soil/sand/grit. I was disappointed with the scant amount of greens and vegetables, and if I had known, I might have asked for extra vegetables. And of course, I could not finish it the macaroni. If it wasn't for the 'gritty texture' I would have rated this four stars. My friends ordered the daily special gluten free ravioli with nettle. They all loved it. We also shared a platter with flatbread, cashew cream cheese, apple & beet chutney. I was only able to have one item because the rest were heavy with garlic.

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

Chelsea T

Awesome spot, delicious food… always great service! As someone with celiac disease too, it’s a treat to find a gluten free location as well.

Chey Petrich

GLUTEN FREE CROISSANT OF MY DREAMS!!

Ivo S

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

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!

Deanna Mcmullen

Such a gem for gluten free foodies 😀.2 of us dined on wings, calamari, mozzarella sticks, fried sourdough & onion rings, everything was delicious and the pride shows in the food. Will b back again & again whenever we r in Victoria.

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.

Jessica Shifrin

Came here for our anniversary dinner, as a celiac I usually avoid eating out Italian as the pasta substitute js subpar, that was not the case here. The best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had and most appies and all deserts were gluten free. My gluten eating husband also said it was the best pasta he’s ever had. Was nice to have a desert option that was not a flourless chocolate cake, highly recommend the olive oil cake! The service was really good and they were very knowledgeable about celiac. Would highly recommend!

Nikita Crane

Fried chicken, dedicated fryers and beer

K M

This was the second time I've had their pizza! The cashew cheese is sooo good! All crusts are wheat free, and they have separate oven and fryer for celiac. The cashew blue cheese dip was the perfect pairing. One thing I wanted to add is the last time I had the BEST vegan ice cream flavor I've ever had. Lavender and butterfly pea! Please do that again!

Julie Chalifoux

I didn't go in to enjoy the service, I had take out. I had the gluten free option and have finally found a pie I can order again. I am thoroughly pleased with the taste and texture of the GF crust. It actually tastes like really having pizza again. So glad to have found these guys.

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.

Adrienne Rademaker

Great pizza. My partner has a gluten allergy, so he always orders the gf crust and it’s almost as good as the regular pizza crust - by far the best gf crust I’ve tasted.

Not all who wander are lost.

My travel partner and I each had a gluten-free free lamborghini with salad. Fresh ingredients, meat had nice seasonings, and a good flat bread (gf "bun"). They earn a double tasty and a recommendation to all GF eaters out there. Already planning a return visit when back in Vancouver in a few weeks.

Karmen Johnson

Called to place a take out order. Staff was very nice and friendly. We were given a very accurate time that our food would be ready. Four of us ordered four different meals and we were all very happy, especially my daughter who cannot eat gluten. It was so nice to not have to worry about any gluten cross contamination.

Matt

We had a great experience at omni. Extremely safe for celiacs. Everything on the menu can be made gluten free and anything they put in their deep fryer is naturally gluten free (rice flour). Huge plus for no fryer cross contamination! They had about 4 gluten free canned beers to choose from and we loved the fried Cajun honey chicken wings. Waitresses were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We will be back!

Wyatt Miller-Unser

Barts is great, affordable food, good selection of drinks, lots of menu items are Gluten free or can be made gluten free.

Brittany Rene

This place is unreal! One of the best breakfasts of my life. Begging for y’all to open a location in LA. Objectively delicious breakfast. Plus perfect for my gluten and dairy free needs. I’m still thinking about that hollandaise. Kind staff. Good vibes. Went back the next day it was so good. If I lived in Victoria I would eat here once a week at least. Wish I could give more stars. NEVER CLOSE I BEG.

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

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!

esse emme

We always have a fresh and delicious gluten free meal at Hitoe. The service and sushi is exceptional. So happy to have Hitoe in the neighborhood!

Brenda Gibson

How lovely to find a place that is entirely gluten free!! Also vegan and sugar free. The meals were delicious, the desserts were ok. All quite pricey but I guess that's the cost of fresh and healthy.

Ariel

I went on a personal Fish n Chips tour at every place in Victoria. This was BY FAR the best one. The staff really made sure we had a welcome experience too (I was brining an out of towner...). I always 75,000/100 recommend people to go here. Great place to bring my 'Celiac' Sister too!

Hilary Djeric

Fantastic place to have brunch! Being Celiac, there are often challenges with the menus, but here at Johns Place they accommodate for this. I had “Catch 22” which was half eggs benny (GF hollandaise) on a GF bun, and GF waffle. It was excelllent and so was the coffee!! Thank you so much for providing these options!!

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!

Jonathan Saunders

Good gluten free and vegan options, all clearly marked on the menu. Excellent service and very knowledgable staff

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. ❤️

Levi Gogolinski

I've been here a handful of times and the service is always excellent. They have a fully gluten free menu that is prepared in a separate part of the kitchen (including a dedicated gluten free fryer!) - a dream for anyone who is celiac. Highly recommend.

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!

D L

Not celiac safe. Cross contamination.

Mariah Sobey

best tacos and all gluten free!!

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!

Dani

Best tacos in town. If you are a vegetarian and/ or have lactose or gluten sensitivities it's a Shangri-La for your tastebuds.

Steven Kelly

Love it here, a great gluten free pizza
