Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots Across Ontario

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 🥰

Great gluten free menu, lots of choice.

So I’ve been gluten free for a while and the bread scene is just rough…it just is! This is the best bread I’ve had! And the donut balls!!!OMG!!! I have no words! They are worth the drive from wherever you are! They come in threes because you can’t have just one! Dangerously delightful! I’m going back tomorrow for more! Overjoyed that I found this place!

Amazing 100% gluten free restaurant

Marissa Hay

Whoever we interacted with (I think the owner?) was very attentive to my friend and I, and the other patrons. I loved that everything what gluten free!! The food was classic and delicious. The frozen fish to take home looked vibrant and yummy too!

Leanne Gilbert

Soooooo good!! Highly recommend whether you need to eat gluten free or not! Super fresh, hot & fantastic tasting gluten free Chinese food. It's better than any "regular" Chinese food I'd had prior to being diagnosed celiac. Everything we tried was delicious - fried rice, chop suey, chicken balls, general tao chicken, etc. but my favourite was the honey garlic pork. Everything was so good we ordered more food for takeout to go along with our leftovers from dinner. Also a great selection of frozen items. It was well worth the hour & a half drive for us to get there & we'll definitely make the trip to get there a few times a year!

Julia made this an incredible experience! I am so grateful for Julia and The Mule, as a celiac and anaphylactic to Peanuts and Tree Nuts, my time finding restaurants that I feel truly safe is rare. This was the first place in Canada where I felt that safety to just explore the menu, relax, and enjoy. Everyone that came to our table was kind, informed, and awesome! Also the food IS AMAZING! Best tacos I’ve had in Ontario. Thank you again to Julia and the team for making a memorable meal and amazing experience. Will be coming back to Hamilton just for The Mule!

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.

Got take out here. Amazing they have good gluten free options. They fish isn’t greasy , yet crisp. Portions are good. I would highly recommend

Cassy A

Absolutely amazing!! Everything is gluten free and the food tastes soo good!

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.

Winnie's has been a go to for my daughter who has Celiac. We have only purchased their desserts and she LOVES them. Maybe one day we will try some of their other food items. If you are looking for a CAKE you need to pre-order. They have various flavors available.

Mary Clare Nolan

My boyfriend is celiac and we have heard many great things about this place being gluten friendly so we gave it a try. Our server was kind of rude, like she never smiled and looked like something was annoying her and that she didn’t want to be there (it was a busy Friday night which is understandable, but still, I felt a little uncomfortable with her). My boyfriend got a GF pizza and I got a regular one. They tasted really good and mine was so big that I brought the other half home with me (the GF pizza is significantly smaller than the regular one FYI, we were hoping that it would be at least around the same size as a regular one considering how they present themselves as GF. Not a huge problem but it still seems unfair). The next morning, my boyfriend was feeling symptoms as if he had gluten. He had definitely ordered the GF crust, so we are thinking it is maybe the pizza sauce or the meat contains gluten. Perhaps it is a misunderstanding on our part as he didn’t specify to the server that he is celiac, but you would think that if something is made GF, all the ingredients would be GF. Anyways we won’t be going back there which is a shame because there are lots of GF options on the menu that you can’t really find anywhere else around.

In my humble yet educated opinion (18 years celiac ) this is the best bakery I have ever eaten at. Great options for the dairy free and vegan eaters as well. From the ease of ordering 2 loaves of olive bread to the warm friendly atmosphere at the store my experience was perfect. I walked in expecting bread and left with so many sweet and savoury treats. Great little store for products as well. If you’re in the area for work or for a holiday and have special food needs this is the place to check out .

Curt Bigelow

Amazing options, great food, friendly staff!

Victor

To be honest, I prefer their gluten-free fish n chips over other non-GF fish n chips I’ve had in the past.

Alex Andro

They had a lot of freezer items, and different shapes of gluten free pastas, which was nice to see. There were also a lot of lovely baked goods in the case. I read that they had GF beaver tails, so that's why I came. I was excited to try my first beaver tail (newcomer to Canada). When I got it, it was slightly warm on the edges, but refrigerator-cold and damp in the middle. My partner told me they are usually fried, so it should have been piping hot. It was disappointing. I was thinking about getting a sandwich, but overheard someone ask about getting pasta, but it would have taken 40 min for that. Surprising, since they use the dried pasta they sell to make it. I had some questions about items, but felt dismissed and almost belittled by the answers. I was off-put by the rude tone, and combined with my disappointing menu item, won't be back. I'm sure it's fine if you're just going for cookies or frozen goods, but some other folks and myself were wondering if someone was actually there. It took quite some time for the owner to come out from the back. Not sure if that's the norm- maybe they were short-staffed, but don't go unless you have lots of extra time to spare.

Sierra Martindale

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.

Emily Payton

Our server, Megan, was super helpful with Celiac disease accommodations, especially with double checking with the kitchen to make sure everything was safe for me. Also when we left we realized we forgot our extra fries in a to go container at the table, and came back 3 minutes later to them being gone. We were ready to accept our reality, but Megan came over and made us a new box right away. Thank you to Megan and the staff at this location for an amazing meal!

Jaqueline Renaud

Gluten friendly food and the staff are very helpful with making the best gf choices! Evelyn was an awesome server! Will come back!

Sarah F

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)

Jenna M

! 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.

Daniel Gosher

I come here frequently and have yet to be disappointed. The food is always good, portions are very fair, top notch selection for gluten-free food. Can't find a place like this anywhere else. Cozy vibe, great service, and wholesome food. All of these factors make it a pleasure to support the business.

David Torbett

My wife has been wanting to try this place for a little while now! It was worth the wait! She found out about it on Tic Toc! We had an awesome meal with all the dips! This place is 100% gluten free. My wife is just figuring out about gluten and she had a complete worry free dinner!! We had the Dip Dip Dip hooray and we tried 4 different kinds of tacos! Well priced, amazing service and the food is absolutely amazing! 10/10!!

David Mondaca

It's expensive but it's worth every penny. Gluten free options including buns for the burgers and sandwiches

Pierre Lachance Jr

Recommend for anybody has gluten issues it's all gluten-free over there

Sarah Lévesque

Wow! The owner is so nice! He took the time with my girlfriend to explain her the gluten free menu . Everything is done separatly so no chance of cross contamination.

Robin keane

Plant Matter Kitchen is such a wonderful place to enjoy healthier, delicious options. Everything on the menu is vegan, and most items are gluten-free or can be made gluten-free, which I really appreciate. One of my absolute favourite desserts is their blueberry cheesecake—so creamy and flavourful, you’d never guess it’s vegan and gluten-free. Their chocolate cake is just as divine—rich, moist, and totally indulgent. Truly a slice of heaven! The presentation is always so beautiful. The vibe is warm and welcoming, and the staff, especially the waitresses, are always so friendly and lovely. It’s a spot I keep coming back to, and I always leave feeling satisfied and happy.

Anne Carpenter

Good food and gluten free menu on Mondays.

samuel caron gagne

Amazing small family restaurant authentic greek food with gluten free options will be back often

Janice Mccormack

it was a great meal. 5 of us with different allergies, and ever one was happy. thanks

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!!!

Rosemary Verlinden

I have Celiac disease and gluten free is always a struggle at restaurants. So many Gluten free options. Knowledgeable staff. I had fish and chips for the first time in 2 years.

Jason & Kenzee Scott

The best food, service and atmosphere really. Gluten-free AND vegan options? My husband is very happy! I couldn't decide which type of pizza to get because they all look delicious so they let me get half and half--- BBQ Chicken pizza and Renaissance. They were both soo delicious in their own way. We also had their Caesar salad and homemade cookies (which were pure chocolately, marshmallowy, cinnamony goodness 🍪). Wow! I wish we lived closer, we would be there every weekend.

Brenna Liane

What a cool restaurant, I loved the decor. I equally love that everything is gluten free as it's difficult to avoid contamination. The sweet potato halloumi taco was mine and my fiance's fav and the Baddy Addy Red Pepper Marg had really good and interesting flavours!

Miriam Lehman

Amazing time and food. We were 3. Stayed away from the dips so that we didn’t have to segregate with normal pita and gf pita. 7 dishes split 3 ways and just gorgeous food. Felt very safe there after asking questions.

Shannon Freeman

New owner (Raj) has really outdone himself! The new layout is beautiful—a fun, fresh vibe for sure! Food is still delicious, lots of variety (the gluten free fish n chips are AMAZING!), and the staff are very friendly. Will come back for sure!

Shona Cahill

Excellent attention to detail. Excellent good. Very good variety of gluten free appetisers, mains and desserts. Gluten free pitas, pizzas, pasta. Highly recommend!

Joan E. Stoltman

Freaking delicious! We stop here every time we go through Canada! They have an incredible gluten-free bun and all the fries are gluten-free so it’s easy for me to eat here and it’s not that far off the highway!

Alecia Scherman

I live in Alberta and am newly diagnosed NCGS (non-celiac gluten sensitivity). It was really hard to find a Gluten-Free Sourdough starter near me and Marcelles’ sent me an envelope when I reached out. They were so helpful to speak with. I’m rehydrating my starter today and excited to see the progress!

Trevor Richardson

seems like this place would suck during the school year, but was quite pleasant. had a fancy deglutenized beer which was fantastic

Sharon Robinson

We’ve dined at The Mule many times and it has been our go-to restaurant for eating out, especially since both my daughter and I are celiac and have always appreciated your gluten-free options and care. Unfortunately, our most recent visit to the Cambridge location was disappointing. The service fell very short of what we’ve come to expect. Our server got our drink orders wrong twice, and there was a noticeably long wait for our meals, despite the fact that the restaurant was not busy at all. We’ve always valued The Mule for its reliability and attentiveness, especially given our dietary needs, which makes this experience all the more disappointing We may not be returning.

Paul Bergsma

We had a fantastic dinner experience at ZOLAS last night with our family of four, including one gluten-free diner. The menu offered plenty of options, and our server was super attentive and provided great recommendations. The food arrived quickly and was piping hot and delicious! We took advantage of the $75 Wednesday night deal, where you get an appetizer to share, individual mains, and a dessert to share for every two people. What a great value! The food was absolutely delicious, and we highly recommend ZOLAS to anyone looking for a great dining experience. Can't wait to go back!

Michael Moir

Always buy the GF pep talk pizza. Safe for celiacs. Never had any issues.

Emmalyn Lacroix

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!!! The people here are so kind and the food is so good. They also offer gluten free options and make their spicy mayo sauce fresh. I definitely suggest coming to check this place out, definitely worth it.

Rob Aleksic

Excellent plant based gluten-free menu 👌 Will recommend anytime 😊

Meghan Osborne

Absolutely loved going here! The fun light on fire tacos 10/10. I just wish they had celiac friendly cheese sauce.

Mitul Shah

Gluten free crust is amazing! Loved the place

Tara Anderson

Today marks our 11 year anniversary of being Burger Revolution patrons. Excellent service, food and positively the safest celiac friendly burger in town! Thanks for a decade of excellence!

Sarah

They offer a solid variety of vegetarian and gluten-free options, and it’s clearly a popular spot—it’s typically busy during peak hours. That said, the food can be quite hit-or-miss. I’ve been coming here for years and tend to stick to the same items, having tried most of the menu. Some days, the food is excellent; other times, the selection is disappointingly sparse or just not good. Occasionally, they’ll introduce a new dish that’s barely edible—or worse, come up with something incredible only to never serve it again. The inconsistency is frustrating, especially when you’re driving 20 to 30 minutes without knowing whether you'll find a great spread or a disappointing lineup. Given the higher price point, I expect more reliability. Also worth noting: the kitchen staff is consistently warm and friendly, while the front-of-house team tends to be less welcoming—which always feels a bit off.
