Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Enjoy in Newfoundland and Labrador

As a vegetarian visiting St. John's I was bit concerned about food selections for myself but Nook and Cannery was such a delight. The vibes were immaculate and the food was incredible. They offer many ways to adjust meals to suit vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free folks. My favourite meal during my trip!

Mitch was our server and he was amazing! Great recommendations and just an all around nice guy. Food here is amazing. If you’re gluten free they have one of the best gluten free crusts around. Def come here. Prices are more than fair.

We love going to Jack Astor's. There's something for everyone from our picky eater, to our vegetarian to our celiac. Candace is the best but I might be biased!

Not my first time here, group definitely enjoyed our meals! Delicious seafood chowder (I ordered the smaller size—generous!), and tried my first cod au gratin with tasty homemade fries. My partner eats gluten-free on account of celiac and very much enjoyed their GF fish and chips. Very friendly service, and a delightful gift shop upstairs!

The Keg Steakhouse + Bar in St. John’s, located at 127 Harbour Drive, offers a refined yet casual dining experience with stunning views of the harbor and Signal Hill from its second-story patio. The menu shines with perfectly aged, spice-rubbed steaks and succulent prime rib, complemented by fresh seafood and inventive sides like pistachio-crusted salmon. Recent diners on OpenTable (4.6/5 from 4470 reviews) praise the attentive, friendly staff—servers like Michelle and Neil stand out for their warmth and professionalism. The elegant ambiance, extensive wine list, and gluten-free options make it ideal for special occasions. However, some note high prices and occasional overcooked dishes. Despite minor hiccups, The Keg remains a top choice for a memorable meal in St. John’s vibrant downtown.

Got some takeout, and staff were so helpful with helping to choose celiac-friendly options! Not only was the food great, but pricing was very reasonable. Would 100% eat there again.

Great spot for supper. Had PB&J burger with gluten free bun and a pear & prosciutto side salad. Both were amazing!

Best gluten-free fries in the city. Does not skimp on toppings like other poutine spots do.

This was my first experience, and I have to say— I was thoroughly impressed! The service was exceptional. As someone with celiac, I appreciated how the staff reassured me about their careful handling of gluten-free options in the kitchen. There were so many great gluten-free choices, and for once, I felt like a normal person ordering from the menu instead of being limited to just one or two options. The food was fantastic and surprisingly well-priced. The beef tacos were absolutely incredible! I was also amazed to find that all the desserts were gluten-free, which is something I rarely encounter. We ended up getting two desserts, and both were beautifully presented and delicious! My only critique is the music made it a tinsie bit hard for us to hear one another chatting. Overall, the experience was outstanding, and we’ll definitely be back again and again!

Lindsay Huffman

Such an amazing place! We’re from out of town and this was an amazing date spot. The atmosphere was great, staff were lovely and very knowledgeable! They also had a lot of gluten free options or items on the menu that could be made gluten free. Everything was simple yet so tasty and the presentation was amazing.

Absolutely fantastic cafe. Gorgeous espresso beverages with alternative milks available. Gluten free friendly options available for all of the sandwiches and other options. Creative choices and interesting flavours. They were chock full of customers when we arrived at 1:15 PM yet still found what might have been the last table available for us. I would suggest they might have been a bit understaffed for the lunch rush, but were definitely trying very hard to keep up. I hope management sees this review. Your waitstaff needed more help today, but they did fantastic under the circumstances. Desserts were beautiful. Would love to have had a gluten free cheesecake option. Enjoyed the GF peanut butter cup. Highly recommend!!

A unique place with lots to offer - excellent service and fresh fish and seafood with a view. Even better - they have a gluten free menu, and their wine pours are at a great price point and are topped off nicely! Nothing fancy - just good Newfoundland grub.

Umber Malik

The food is decent, tasted good. They have a lot of Gluten Free Options including a chickpea roti. Our server was very good and all the staff was also. I was not too upset at the mandatory tip, but it is disappointing that some business owners think they're should be allowed to add an additional percentage. I have no complaints except for owners being greeedy. I hope they pay they staff atleast minimum wage. Be prepped to pay an automatic 18% tip for groups of 2 and more.

Katie Mark

Full gluten free menu, very knowledgeable

Had breakfast here twice during our week in St. John's, and it was worth it! So many options, and the fact that they can serve most options gluten-free (i.e. on a gluten-free bagel) was great. Unfortunately, they do not have a dedicated deep-fryer, so I wasn't able to get any of the unhealthy stuff that everyone else had, but that's okay...I appreciated the fruit substitution for the hash browns!

Cory Tucker

What an amazing authentic Italian restaurant. Well worth a visit. Food is tantalizing, service is great and venue is quaint. Highly recommended. Oh and a huge gluten free selection!!! Inna was a super server, took er time to walk us through the menu and was just the sweetest… 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Liz Fagan

Exceptional service. The staff and manager were very knowledgeable about their gluten-free options and cross-contamination policies. Delicious food ! The only downside is that the restaurant was busy so it was a bit loud. Would recommend !

I have celiac disease and asked about gluten free options on the menu. I was told I could have a gluten-free bun with my burger. I asked if the soup of the day was gluten-free, the wait staff went to check and told me that it was. I ordered the soup and a gluten-free burger. When the food arrived, there was a bun alongside my soup. I asked if the bun was gluten-free. The waiter went to the kitchen to check and came back and told me it was not. They took the bun away. I was not offered a gluten-free bun. A few minutes later, I was several bites into my burger when the waiter returned to tell me there had been a mistake, and the burger bun was not gluten-free. They took the burger away. I was not offered a replacement burger. The manager came to our table to apologize for the error. I explained that this would make me very ill, within about an hour. A few moments later she returned with the chef, who also apologized. They told me took my information and told me they would go over what happened with their staff to make sure it didn’t happen again. They took my phone number and said they would call me to check on me the following day, and the day after that. They never called. This is serious. Eating gluten not only makes people with celiac disease very sick, it also causes permanent intestinal damage.
